He is shown on the AIS (Accelerated Indexing Systems) as being on the Dunmore County, Virginia rent rolls for the years 1774, 1775, 1776. But by checking the actual rent rolls the entries show that the rent was several years in "Arrears." The current year is never included the arrears. This usually means that the land had been abandoned, but was still carried on the county books. They were not actually living there. For the year: 1774, Fougate, John 137 acres 3 years arrears; For the year: 1775, Fugate, John 137 acres 4 years arrears; For the year: 1776, Fugate, John 137 acres 5 years arrears

1771 JOHN & SARAH IN BOTETOURT COUNTY, VIRGINIA. In his 1810 deposition in the “Fugate vs Mahan” case, John said that he had settled “in this country” (southwest Virginia) in 1771, John was on a Botetourt County tax list in the early 1770’s.

1776 WASHINGTON CNTY, VA formed from a south-eastern chunk of Fincastle Cnty.

1775 - 1776: Daughter, Lydia Fugit born in Fincastle/Washington Cnty, VA. (1850 census for Carter Cnty, KY).

1778 Jan 25: Second son, Jonathan Fugit born in Washington County, Virginia. Jonathan gave his birth date as 25 Jan 1758 on his pension request in 1846, but he was between age 26 and 44 on the 1810 (born between 1766 - 1784) census for Clay County, Kentucky and he was listed as the second son when his father’s land was sold in 1833 and his older brother John was born 1765/1766 and his younger brother Jesse was born about 1781. He was not on the Russell County, VA tax list in 1798 with his father and brother John, but he was on the 1799 tax list so he was probably then 21 years old.

1780/1781: Son, Jesse Fugit is born in Laurel Hill, Washington Cnty, Virginia. (1820 census Jefferson Cnty, IN shows b. 1775 - 1794. 1830 census Lancaster, Jefferson, IN &.1840 census Milton, Jefferson, IN show b. between 1780 & 1790. 1850 census Moral, Shelby, IN show b. 1780/1781. 1880 census for son Salem Albany, Floyd, IN shows parents born in Laurel Hill, VA ).

1783 - 1785: Son, Moses Fugit is born in Washington County, VA. Moses's mother Sarah was 42 in 1785, so Moses was probably born by 1785. He was born 1780/1790 according to the 1830 census in Bedforn, Tennessee. His name is not found on any of the tax lists (as age 21 or older) in Russell Co. through 1803.

1785 or before: Daughter, Hannah Fugit is born in VA. Hannah's mother Sarah was 42 in 1785, so Hannah was probably born by then. The only information we have on her is that her daughter is listed as an heir of her father's when his property was sold in 1833 so Hannah was dead at that time.

1786 RUSSELL COUNTY, VA formed from the northern half of Washington Cnty, (Rich Valley is still in Washington Cnty).
