Lee Co., Va, married (9)
William FUGATE, son of William
FUGATE and Jane STEVENS, who was born Nov 2, 1799 in Russel
Co., Va.
Notes for William FUGATE:
The Fugate Family of Russell County, Virginia ‑ Genealogy by Dr. David
Faris, Gateway Press, Baltimore, Maryland, Published
1986. Reference ‑ Pg. 63 States William Fugate, son of William and Jane
Fugate, was born (according to his gravestone) on 2 Nov 1799. He ws married to Nancy Riley,
daughter of John and Louisa Gibson‑Riley. She was born about 1812.
Descendants provide this information: William "Bill" Fugate came from
Virginia with pack on his back, settled in Claiborne County, Tennessee. It's
told that Nancy Riley's father John left Virginia to keep his daughter Nancy
from marrying Bill Fugate because of his poverty. When Bill died, he had LARGE
HOLDINGS and could have bought OUT ALL THE RILEYS. He was a Sheriff of
Claiborne County at one time. During the Civil War, a roving rebel gang killed
one of John and Louisa's sons because he wouldn't tell where his father was,
and this turned the Rileys and Nancy's sons into
Union sympathizers. The daughters, however, were married to Parkeys
and were rebel sympathizers. Virginia Fugate reported that the Riley incident
was told to her husband by Elisha Fugate, grandson of Martin Fugate, and told
to him by John Riley, nephew of Nancy Riley. Reference ‑ Pg. 64 States
William Fugate died on Jan 9, 1855. Nancy Riley‑Fugate was residing with
her daughter Mary at the time of the 1880 census. They were buried in the
Family Plot on the Farm of Neil Walker, one mile from John N. Fugate.

PRSACKS@worldnet.att.net (PATRICIA SACKS)
I am sending this to the e‑mail
address given on the Claiborne County Web Site, since I wasn't sure of your
personal e‑mail address. I think it is jpayne5744@aol.com; is that
right?]
Dear Mr. Payne,
A few months ago I began researching my family tree in Claiborne County, and
was recently perusing your genealogy web page.
I have a couple of questions about your
McVey ancestry:
1) Is your #21,
Minerva McVey, the same Minerva McVey who was married to Henry Harrison Friar
on Jan 20, 1867? The age looks about
right. (I am not descended from this couple but have some close cousins who
are.)
2) One of the old deeds in my possession
from our family place in Claiborne County transfers a piece of property from F.
L. McVey and his wife Mary E. McVey to my great‑grandfather Thomas Riley
on Feb 25, 1881. Do you think this
might be your #19, Fielding L.? (Just
curious; the property would have been off what is now Cedar Fork Road and Alanthus Hill Road {63E} near the old Hoop Creek area.)
