In 1772 Francis Fugate, father of orator, settled on a tract within now County Russell, on big Moccasin Creek, where he lived until his death. In 1774 he had a survey made under the Loyal Company; but in 1781 when he applied to the Commissioners for a certificate, Robert Trimble claimed the land by an improvement before Francis, and got the certificate. About 15 days afterward Francis died intestate. Orator was infant, oldest son and heir, the widow was Agnes, who married _____ Mahan. Agness answers in Russell County, 1809. In 1771 Francis was living in Washington County and purchased from a negro (man of color) William Car, a tract on Mockerson Creek who is supposed to have bought from John Morgan. In 1771 there was a small cabin on the land called Robert Trimble's cabin, into which the Fugate family moved. Francis Fugate swore he would die before he gave up the land (in 1781), but in about 30 days he was dashed to pieces by a fall from his horse, leaving six small children. Answer of John Wood and Allen Riley in Russell, 1809. Agness is widow of Henry Mahon.

Deponent's brother, Alexander, is a gunsmith who is 2-1/2 years older than deponent. Deponent is now 46. John Tate deposes in Russell. He moved to this country in 1771 and in 1772 it was said by the old settlers that if Francis Cooper had not sold his place to John Morgan he might now have had it to live on himself.

Deponent believes Allen Riley was not even born in 1770 and in 1781 he was probably in Fauquier County. Benjamin Fugate deposes 10th August, 1810, in Clay County, Kentucky. About 31 or 2 years ago he came to the place in dispute and lived there about two years. On 13th day of the month after the Commissioners' Court sat, Francis was killed by a fall from his horse.

James Davison deposes in Russell, 11th July, 1810. On 1st January, 1774, deponent moved to Mockerson Creek; has known Alexr.

He moved to the place where he now lives on Mockerson Creek in company with Francis Fugate and others in 1771 or 1772.

Deponent's father and Thomas Whurry and two or three other men went. (Deponent was then about 8 years old.) Deponent went along. In the fall of 1771 Trimble came with his family and stopped at Samuel Briggs's, near where Abingdon stands, took up land in Walker's grant and moved his family there. Francis Fugate was a rash, overbearing man. At the time Trimble built his cabin there was not a family on the north side of Clinch Mountain nearer than ten miles except deponent's father No one was living on the creek except his father. Deponent's father was dead at the time the Commissioners sat in 1781. Isbel McCullock deposes as above. Is mother of John McCullock. She was acquainted with Mrs. Trimble when she lived in Augusta.

Notes

Thomas McCulloch was a lieutenant in command of his company in William Campbell's regiment of Virginia Militia. On October 7, 1780, he was mortally wounded, and died from the effects of his injury five days later. His remains lie in Little Brittain Cemetery, and on the rough stone marking his grave is this inscription: "Here lies the body of Lieutenant Thomas McCulloch belonging to Colonel Campbell's Virginia Regiment who lost his life in and for the honorable, just and righteous cause of liberty in defeating Colonel Ferguson's infamous company of bandetta at King's Mountain, October 7, 1780." He had two sons, John and Robert, and four daughters, Mrs. Rachel Jamison, Mary, Sarah, Mrs. Martin Hagy, and Mattie, Mrs. John Newhouse. (Note: marriage records in Maryland and Washington County, Virginia show Sarah as the wife of John Hagy and Martha 'Mattie' as the wife of Isaac Newhouse, not John)
