Dear Pat, My point is, Women do not have children at age 55. I think there may be an explanation to all this that isn't evident at this time. I notice in my research that multiple births tend to run in the Fuqua Family so that might account for the number of children but fewer pregnancies. One submitter indicated as much, even questioned the fact that they had four children born the same year. No sources given. I haven't yet found a source of names for these children. Were they named in Ralph's Will? This is very important to me for I need information on daughter, Ann, who my sources indicate, was born in Goochland County and may very well have been the eldest child. Does anyone have information on this Ann (different spelling). There is another Anne Fuqua about the same time period born in Bedford County, VA but she is the daughter of one of Ralph's brothers or nephews. The two are mixed up often. I would appreciate any information.
