James, Thank you for the note updating some information. After checking my records further, Henry Fugate was a nephew of Daniel Dean's by marriage (if I remember correctly)son of Francis Fugate and Anna Addington. As per Dan Dean's burial I really don't know. Wasn't the Sheriff related to Dan Dean by marriage as well? I believe Sheriff Wm C. Fugate was the grandson of William Fugate, making him a cousin to Dan's wife as well. The Franciso was George Franciso, he borrow the gun from was also related to Dan by marriage. Dan was married to Margaret Fugate born in 1832. I believe these lines tie into the Adams and Mcnutt lines, which ties into my Pierson line as well. As far as this Catherine Frazier wife of Capt. D. S. Hall, would she have been born in 1835? Wasn't she related to Joshua Daniel Frazier of Natural Tunnel, Scott Co., VA Myself, I'd like to see more history on Scott Co. Anyone out there have anything to share? I'm finding the more I dig into records, the more connections I'm finding.
