Phyllis, it sounds like you have way more information than I do! Could you tell me how you got to the 1830 census? A few years ago, I happened across someone in Tennessee who, for free!, found the same information you did - John, Fuquay, and Fuquay, Jr. I'm really pleased to have this message confirmed. Since I only recently came upon John Beasley as father of Fuquay, and have not even heard of the Fuqua family, I'm not sure what I have that might help you, but if you have some specific questions, fire away. Do you have any suggestions on finding more information re: John and Bridget? Since I live in California, I might even use this research as an excuse to travel! Thank you so much for your rapid reply. I've never tried message boards before and am so glad this morning that I this one!! Let me know if I can be of help. Carole Harter
