I am decedent of Sally Fuqua Lowry, who lived a Center Point, Bedford County, VA. My Grandmother was Bessie Lowry Markham, wife of Walter A. Markham of Lowry, Bedford County, VA. Bessie's Mother was Sally Fuqua Lowry. Sally's Brother was George Whitfield Fuqua, and they are a direct descendent of Thomas Fuqua, who was a son of Ralph Fuqua. Ralph Fuqua settled in Bedford County in the early 1700's. The records show that he purchased property from William Callaway on November 22, 1756. This was the beginning of ownership of the land where much of the City of Bedford is now located. Ralph Fuqua had seven sons and five daughters., and it was from some of these that the Bedford County Family descended. Joshua Fuqua, Ralph's youngest son, gave the land for the courthouse which was built in 1782. I am looking for someone to help me with my Fuqua Line. I understand that there has been several who have worked on this line in the past. If anyone is willing, please let me know. I have been working on the Markham, Lee, and Ashley-Tingen Lines for the past twenty years. I have a summer home on Markham's Lake near Lowry, and live in Florida during most of the year. Thomas A. Markham
