Biography

According to the St. John's Parish records, Peter was a son of James Fugate, born 1676 and his wife Ann.

Most of James & Ann's children are listed in the Parish records. Copies of the Register entries are attached.

This page of entries for James & Ann Ward give 4 different dates of birth for the same children??????? Like, Edward, born 1721 and then another son named Edward Aug 10 1734, so it appears like many families, they lost a baby and then years later named a son after him.

OR the Registrar has made a mistake??????

Unfortunately no one seems to know Ann's maiden name..............

This area was Baltimore Co. before Harford Co. was formed, and is the area where the earliest Fugates were located.

John Fugate was the son of Peter Fugate, b. 1 May 1726 (recorded in St. John's Parish records, Harford Co., MD.) Peter's wife was Mary Watson, daughter of David Watson.Peter died in Washington Co. MD 9 Dec 1799, and Mary died in Dec. 1807. Both left wills which are recorded in Washington Co. MD.They had purchased land in Frederick Co. MD (later became Washington) in Aug. 1772.

John W. was the son of John Fugate, b. by 1760 in Maryland. He died in Columbiana Co., OH before 22 April 1823 when his will was proved. His wife was Lydia Davidson, daughter of Thomas Davidson of Fayette Co. PA. They lived in Washington Co. MD, Huntingdon Co. PA, and finally settled in Columbiana Co. OH.Most of their children moved to Ohio with them, and their descendants are there.

John W. Fugate, father of John A.J. Fugate, was born 1789 in Washington Co. MD. He died in Centre Co., 13 Nov. 1861.H m. (1) on 15 Feb 1816 to Mary Ann Dunlap. He married a second time to "Mrs. Baer" - probably Elizabeth's mother - on 30 Nov. 1848.He lived in Centre Co., PA where he was recorded in the tax lists of 1819, and regularly in the census.

Because of the names of his son, and the location and time, we assume that James must have been a son of Peter of Baltimore Co. MD, the immigrant. However, Peter's only known wife was Frances Mould, and from records of her family, we know that she was not enough older than James to have been his mother, so James' parents are not completely known.Peter was probably his father, but we don't have an earlier wife for Peter.

I hope this helps you.For more complete information...
