I just spent two days in the Bedford, VA genealogy library and courthouse and have Fuqua questions to post after having time to go over the many copies I made while there. I find the primary sources to be such treasures. Even though I had seen several wills printed in the Fuqua book and online I was ecstatic to find the original hand written copies of wills and deeds. While I treasure the primary sources I am truly amazed at how many undocumented fascinating connections fit into the giant puzzle. For instance my great uncle was named Gilliam Fuqua. The "original"" Guillaume was his four times great grandfather. I can't prove he was named for his four times great grandfather but it seems probable as Gilliam was not a very common name and of course the spellings could have easily changed. Thanks to so many of you who have done thorough research and shared it. While I still want to locate things myself the leads online are marvelous. Patty
