Surnames: Fuqua Bomar Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wYX.2ACEB/832.1 Message Board Post: A very small point -- This Fuqua family moved from Virginia to Hardin County, Kentucky. Hart County wasn't formed until 1819. Hart is a "burned" county; thus most of its records were lost. However, Kentucky collected excellent annual tax records for counties during this period and they exist for both Hardin and Hart. They will tell you when your family started paying taxes and where (on what watercourse) they lived. These records can be rented, on film, from the Church of LDS. The Bomar and Fuqua families also are mentioned in the records of at least two early Hart County churches and these also are available on LDS film.
