Rena..This was posted elsewhere in 1999 but may be of interest to you now in your FOUCH quest: "In 1824 a grandson wrote that HUGH FOUCH, Loudoun Co., VA, wrote in the family Bible. ..' Our ancestors were French Protestants, who fled from Britannia in France after the revocation of the edict of Nantes by Louis XIV. HUGH was born in America about the year 1696 and departed this life the 29th of Sept,. 1780. He mar. MARY PERKINS, her family resided in Bucks Co., PA. Their first son, ISAAC FOUCH was mar. to MARY McDOWELL, whose parents were from Armagh in Ireland. They were Protestants..'." Their son, THOMAS FOUCH, b. 22 July 1755 (of Loudoun Co., VA), d. 27 July 1828 (mar. SARAH COMBS...see below) had as last child of (7), a NANCY FOUCH, b. 20 July 1800...who might very well be the one you seek, although she would only have been 15 when married, but not unusual, of course,. I also have this note: 08 Jun 1779 Loudoun Co.,VA Marriage Bond. for THOMAS FOUCH & SARAH COMBS. JOHN, father of the girl, test. age. Sec. JOSEPH COOMBS. (Ref: Jewell's "Loudoun Co.,VA Marriage Bonds, 1762-1850", p.11). SARAH COMBS (d/o JOHN & ALICE JOLLY) b. 7 Feb. 1760 d. 8 Aug 1838 in Loudoun Co., VA, was m. to THOMAS FOUCH by Rev. Jos. Powell of the Tonoloways Baptist Church. With further information written by their son he stated that SARAH was the oldest daughter of JOHN & ALICE JOLLY COOMBS, and she was married in Bedford Co.,PA"...by Joseph Powel, Minister of the Gospel. This was of particular interest to me for have a KING/GNAGEY/FOUCH family connection in Somerset Co., PA ...one CATHERINE KING (b.1810) mar.SAMUEL FOUCH (b.1800...mar.date unknown), and Somerset Co.,PA had been part of Bedford Co.PA until 1795. Before state boundaries were set some times they weren't certain to whom they owed allegiance, and wandered freely back and forth between the various jurisdictions. So can't always be sure from what might be given on a later census exactly where some of the early settlers had been born...or were married. This was quite enlightening! Hope this is of some help.
