My grandfather, William John FEUGARDE was born as William John FUGARD in Bessbrook, County Armagh, in 1870. His father was John FUGARD and his mother was Olivia HADDOCK(or HAYDOCK). His parents were married in the Church of Ireland in 1869, and his grandfather was Robert FUGARD, who was deceased at the time of the marriage. Willam John and his younger sister Olivia came to the US in 1890, and he changed the family name to FEUGARDE at that time. I was always told by my mother that her father's family were French Huguenots, and that the name means fire guard in French. My mother also vehemently insisted that "we are followers of William & Mary of Orange." I was never allowed to wear green on St. Patrick's day and got pinched every year as a child. There are only about 80 FUGARDS in the world, so it is an unusual name. At this time, I have been unable to trace the name any further back than Robert FUGARD. There are other listings in Counties Armagh & Down, but the relationship is unknown. They are not listed in the Flax Growers list or in the tithe records, although one was listed in Co. Down on the Hearth List in the 1800's. Any suggetions would be appreciated. Louise
