My mother's line is MAXEY/HARRIS. When I was researching my MAXEY ancestors, I came across the will of RADFORD MAXEY which indicates his wife was ELIZABETH (?). In his will in Halifax Co., Va. WB O, p. 298: In the name of God amen, the 24th day of Jan 1771.....son JOSIAH MAXEY....dau SUSANA MAXEY...dau CROSHEA MAXEY...dau ELIZABETH MAXEY...son JOHN MAXEY...son WILLIAM MAXEY...dau SALEY MAXEY...son EDWARD MAXEY...wife ELIZABETH MAXEY. Also is the following...."I do constitute and appoint for my executors in this my last will and testament PAUL CARINGTON, JOHN FUQUAR and JOSEPH FUQURE." Many Fuqua researchers believe that Radford's wife was Elizabeth Fuqua. Is the above referenced will considered proof of this marriage? "At a court held for Halifax Co. 21 March 1771 will was exhibited into court by PAUL CARINGTON AND JOSEPH FUQUA, (JOHN FUQUA was already deceased). I also found out in my research of my FUQUA line that a WILLIAM HUMPHRIES (HUMPHRYS) married a MARY MAXEY, and their daughter, Margaret Humphries m. JOSEPH EYRES abt 1662 in Charles City Co., Va. and they were the parents of Jane Eyre who married GUILLAUME FOUQUET. What is the source that proves that William Humphries/Humphrys married Mary Maxey? If these two marriages between the MAXEYS and FUQUAS are provable, then it seems my tree has some more crossing branches. Pat C. Johns in VA
PatIn answer to some of your posts that involve Fuquas of Buckingham Co VA. Joseph Fuqua, son of "Guillaume" married Anna Sampson and they had 9 children. One of whom was William born ca 1720 who left a will dated 1804 in Buckingham Co. He was the father of 7 children:Joseph Jr. born ca 1750William--about 1750SamuelMoses 1767Stephen 1769Aaron 1775 I would suspect that these are the persons that are involved in those documents you mentioned.

VGSQ Series XXVIII Vol 2: p. 105-6..October 24, 1788, Petitio for the repeal of an act passed by the General Assembly in 1786 entitled "An Act imposing new taxes: (See William W. Hening, The Statutes at Large; Being a Collection of All the Laws of Virginia (1823, Vol 12, pp283-287...Signers include Jos Fuqua VGSQ Series XXVIII Vol 2: p. 103-4...October 23, 1788, Petition of John Benning to the General Assembly stating facts in the cast of Peter May, under sheriff for John Johns. Peter May allegedly collected money for taxes due the Commonwealth but failed to pay the taxes or turn the money over to John Johns. John Benning, Charles May and William Meredith were securities for Peter May. Johns obtained judgment for Peter May and securities for a considerable sum due for arrears of taxes for the year 1784. The judgment was served in part upon the petitioner and Charles May. Petitioner shows that Peter May, Charles May and William Meredith combined together to defraud him by running away with their property in an attempt to come under the protection of the Spanish Government. The petitioner along with the current Deputy Sheriff and one W. Winfrey pursued and overtook Peter May in North Carolina, took the said property of Charles May and brought it back to Buckingham and sold it. Proceeds will pay about 200 pounds of the execution. John Benning further states that the Mays and Meredith have no property except lands that they are now attempting to sell for cash. He feels that these men may clear out altogether and leave him to pay the balance which would be about 6 or 700 pounds. John Benning asks that the Assembly take the case under consideration and offer him some relief from the judgement against him. [Attached is a document vouching for Benning's character, signed by the following:] These signers included William Fuqua and Jos Fuqua. VGSQ Series XXVIII Vol 2: p. 100-1...October 17, 1787. A petition by inhabitants of Buckingham County to the General Assembly requesting that the Glebe in Tilleston Parrish be sold and the proceeds used for the benefit of all rather than for the exclusive us of Episcopalians. Signers include Jos Fuqua. VGSQ Series XXVIII Vol 2: p 99...November 10, 1786. Petition for repeal of the incorporation act which allowed the Episcopal Church to collect money from everyone regardless of his denomination and then disburse it without consideration or consent of the public. [See "An Act for incorporating the Protestant Episcopal Church, October 1784, in William W. Hening The Statutes at Large; Being a Collection of All the Laws of Virginia (1823) Vol 11, pp 532-537] Signers include Joseph Fuqua VGSQ Series XXVIII Vol 2: p. 97-98...June 18, 1783...Petition of inhabitants of Buckingham County to the House of Delegates showing that in the year 1780 the high Sheriff, Mr. Charles Pattison, appointed certain times and places for the petitioners to pay their taxes but that neither the sheriff nor any person for him attended. As a result, the petitioners were deprived of the opportunity of paying their dues. The taxpayers had in their possession at that time sufficient paper money to pay taxes, but now the money has depreciated in value and the sheriff refuses to accept payment at the former value of this money. The petitioners request that the sheriff be compelled to accept the paper money they kept for that purpose. Signers include Joseph Fuqua VGSQ Series XXVIII Vol 2: p. 95...December 1780. A petition by Buckingham residents asking that all clergymen be required to give allegiance to the State. Signers include Joseph Fuqua. VGSQ Series XXVIII Vol 2: p. 89-90...October 9, 1778. Sundry freeholders of Buckingham County petition the General Assembly to retain the present boundaries of the county. The petitioners below opposed a previous petition asking that the boundaries be changed which would result in a gain of land and tithables for Cumberland County and a corresponding loss for Buckingham. Signers include William Fuqua VGSQ Series XXVIII Vol 2: p. 108...November 5, 1788. A petition by the Freeholders of the County of Buckingham requesting repeal of the act passed in the year 1779 entitled "An act for discouraging extensive credits and repealing the act (of 1748) prescribing the method of proving book debts", commonly known as the "Six Months Law." A florid attack on an unpopular piece of legistation. Signers include: Jos Fuqua p. 112...October 30, 1790...Sundry inhabitants of Buckingham County petition the General Assembly to repeal an act previously passed allowing a town by the name of Greensville to be established near the courthouse on lands owned by John Cox. At that time it was felt that the establishment of a town would attract industrious mechanics and tradesmen and would be of service to the community. The residents now find that industrious citizens can easily acquire fertile lands on the western waters and that all hopes for a considerable inland town must be postponed. The petitioners believe that the buildings and tavern at the courthouse owned by John Cox, deceased, will continue to serve the residents and strangers sufficiently if operated in the same manner as Mr. Cox had done previously. Signers include Wm. Fuqua and Jos Fuqua. p. 264, 5, 6...November 7, 1791... A petition of a number on inhabitants of the County of Buckingham is included with the afore mentioned petition of trustees concerning the act of establishing a town called Greensville. The petitioners ask that the ace be repealed since they neither believe it practical to build a town on the lands of John Cox, deceased, nor think it will be any advantage to the public. Signers include, Joseph Fuqua, Wm. Fuqua, (?) Fuqua. November 7, 1791...A number of freeholders in Buckingham County show the General Assembly of Virginia that an Inspection of tobacco at the mouth of Bent Creek in this county will be of infinite utility - it being the most eligible situation on the river between Lynchburg and Warminster with an easy road for the conveyance of produce from the adjacent counties (to wit) Campbell, Prince Edward, Charlotte and Amherst. The petitioners ask that an act be passed for erecting warehouses at the mouth of Bent Creek on the lands of John Horsley. Signers include Jos Fuqua, Joseph Fuqua and William Fuqua. p. 272, 3...November 11, 1791. Sundry inhabitants of Buckingham County request that a tobacco inspection station be established at the mouth of Slate River below the Seven Island Falls capable of holding any number of boats. They further describe the requested site as "on Slate River at the mouth of Hunts Creek, a branch of the same river." Signers include Stephen Fuqua and Moses J. Fuqua. p. 274, 5, 6...November 15, 1794. Petition of residents of Buckingham to the General Assembly asks that the lands of the Glebe in Tilloston Parish be disposed of and the money arising from the sale be used for payment of parish levies of any other purpose deemed proper. Signers include Joseph Fuqua and Gabriel Fuqua. p. 278 - 281...December 6, 1797. Sundry inhabitants on or near the waters of Appomattox River ask that an act be passed establishing a Town on the lands of Ichabod Hunter and John Epperson at the Cut Banks Plantation in Buckingham County on said river. The location of this site is described as lying on a public road leading from north to south and within two miles of the main Buckingham road leading from Richmond to the Western Country. The petition bears a date of July 29, 1797. Signers include Joseph Fuqua.
Frank I too am a silent member, I am monitoring this list for a friend who is one of many who are descendants for Gilluime Fuqua. When I find anything mentioning her family I print it off for her and then she compares it to what she has and hopefully they can help each other. She has been helped greatly in the past from other members who we have contacted directly.

Harriett, Thanks for posting your line. I will follow suit. The majority of subscribers must be just watching the messages which are posted, hoping to see something of interest. This is known as "lurking." The best way I know of to get a dialogue started on any given subject or family line is to be proactive and say something to which someone else can react. You never know when someone knows something they didn't realize someone else needs to know, but doesn't. Frank
Cara, Thanks for your response. You may have put your finger on one of the problems. I have been doing this stuff for so long I have forgotten the initial difficulties I had in finding my way through the processes of subscribing/unsubscribing and posting messages. All of the Lists and Message Boards on Rootsweb use a standard system so, once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. There are also lots of Lists and Message Boards outside of Rootsweb, and many different processes to use them. I must admit that I find some of them frustrating or even incomprehensible. When I can get to it, I will put out two sets of instructions/explanations. One will be for posting on the Message Board and one will be for posting on the List. In the meantime, if you will send your phone number to me privately, I will call you and walk you through the processes. They are really quite easy. Also, I think your idea about everyone posting their line is great! I hope everyone will do it, even if it is nothing more than the linked names. This will be enough to recognize common lines. Thanks for the input. Frank
Cara Lee, I agree with everything you said and like the idea you had for presenting your families. Frank, I too am usually silent mainly because there are so few posts about the Florida Fuqua/Fuquay lines. But here is my husband's line as far back as we have been able to go; Jackson J FUQUAY b Abt 1848 in FL, d 1923 in Ochlocknee, Thomas Co GA.

Jackson J FUQUAY married Mary Frances HOLTON. She was born abt 1859 in Jefferson Co FL, died before 1920. When Jackson J FUQUAY is in the household of his son John Wesley FUQUAY on the 1920 Madison Co FL census Listed as widowed. Their children were; John Wesley FUQUAY born May 1878 per WWI draft registration. Tempe FUQUAY b abt 1880 in FL, died unknown Mattie C FUQUAY b abt 1881 in FL married Gainey/Garner WOOD 19 Apr 1908 Elizabeth Fuquay b abt 1884 in FL John Wesley FUQUAY married Agnes CLARK Thigpen ( was previously married to Willie Thigpen- he died). She was the daughter of Charles Jupiter CLARK and Elizabeth GREEN. [Charles Jupiter (Jube) CLARK was the son of Richard CLARK and is found in his father's household on the 1860 Macon Co GA census. Also in Richard's household on the 1870 Jefferson Co FL census.] John and Agnes were married 31 Dec 1901 per marriage certificate. John Wesley died in Ochlocknee, Thomas Co, GA about 1923.

The record above refers to Thomas "Cocke". This is believed to be our "Guillaume Fouquet." Although he was listed among 17 persons imported by Thomas Cocke, it was quite common for imports to be claimed for persons who were not actually imported, and this may have been such a case. It should be noted that two years later, "Gill" purchased items from the estate of Frances Cleaverly, one of the persons on that import list. Robert Beasley and Robert Povey (Povall), who were also on the list, also made purchases. In addition, Ralph Hudspeth, "Gill's" brother-in-law, purchased items. Both "Gill" and Ralph collected money from the estate (owed to them by Francis Cleaverly). There were several combinations of persons, both on the list and not, who acted as sureties for one another's purchases. It seems obvious that those folks knew and trusted each other, they were not just some guys who took a boat ride together. William Randolph, was the Coroner and County Clerk who dealt with the estate of Frances Cleaverly. .......................................................................................................................... >Vol 3, p. 1â¦Pat.

Frank, Okay. I am going to admit my technological idiocy here. I cannot get this list to "work" other than to receive the emails, and I don't actually remember how I got that to work. I have tried going to the website to sign on. I couldn't post a query if I tried, at this point. It refuses to allow me to sign up, says I am already a member. I used to be a member of another site also, DooleyCousins, and I can't even get their emails anymore. In fact, my adult Bible fellowship at church has a group on yahoo, and I can't get their emails either. I love the Fuqua group. I am not very active - recently started caring for an elderly mom on top of homeschooling three kids - but I like to read, and I print off whatever I think I might want to follow up on in the future. Don't feel pressured for the list to "be" anything, it is strictly the sum of its parts. As the members can be more active, we will. And there will be seasons where we can't. I do have one suggestion that really re-started the Dooleycousins group when we had a lag. Every member was asked to write in with their line, as far back as they had documentation. (Very brief, only direct lines just a few dates/places.) That way the new members got a feel for who was from their line, etc. It triggered a lot of sharing of information, etc. If you think this is a good idea, I am even willing to share my meager little bread crumb of a line (in comparison to so many of you who have worked so hard!). Keep up the fine work, Frank. I am one of the silent ones who appreciates it very much. Thanks, Cara Lee Shelton

This is the type of source material that leads the way to proof of relationships, events, etc. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. Frank
Recently, I sent a personal message to each subscriber of FUQUA-L and FUQUA-D. The message was a request for each person to post a query on the Fuqua Message Board, which is automatically relayed to FUQUA-L and, subsequently, to FUQUA-D. This method of query posting assures the maximum possible exposure of the query. Considering the total number of subscribers, the resulting number of queries which were posted was a non-event. However, the request for participation WAS followed by a flurry of people who decided to unsubscribe. Once upon a time, this list was very active. There were lots of queries, lots of responses, and lots of non-emotional discussion of subjects on which there were various opinions. People even did research to find the answers to someone else's queries, and posted the results for everyone's benefit. That has clearly changed. Obviously, I do not understand what subscribers now expect from the list. If anyone out there would like to provide some illumination on this subject, please do so either on the list or privately. Surely, there are still unanswered questions lurking out there. Frank Fuqua List Administrator
