Granville Fugett Cont:

In 1890 George W. Fraley was the owner of property assessed at a grand value of 
$61.  No mention is made of land he may have owned; neither was a nearest neighbor
named.  This leads me to believe that his tax record may no have been complete, and he
may have indeed owned land.
I do no find George W. Fraley in either the 1900 or 1910 census reports for Elliott
Co.

James M. Fugett:  Pvt., Co. B, 10th Ky., Cav., in 1890 the census taker wrote that
James M. Fugett was a "Sol. (Conf.)" who entered the army Mar 25, 1863 and ended his
service on May 1, 1865.  Fugett stated that his address was Leadingham, KY.
Tracing this James Fugett has proven to be very difficult, and I am not sure that I
have followed the trail of the James who was listed as a Civil War veteran in 1890. 
Going back to the 1850 Morgan Co, KY census, we find the family of a James
Fugett, Sr., enumerated therein.  At that time, he was 57 years of age and was born in
VA.  His wife, Rebecca was 48, and also born in VA.  Six children were named,
including a Granville Fugett, then 7 years of age.
Enumerated separately was the family of James Fugett, Jr., age 27, and
undoubtedly the son of James Sr.  James Jr. stated that he had been born in KY.  His
wife, Sarah, age 24, was also born in KY.  Their children named in the 1850 report were: 
Rebecca, 8; William, 7; Mary, 5; James, 3; and Frances, 1.
When the 1860 Morgan Co ceunsus was taken, James B. Fugett was still a
resident of that county.  He stated that he was 37 years if age which was consistent with
the age he gave in 1850.  Sarrah was 36.  The following children were names in this
report:  Rebecca, 18; William, 17; Mary J., 15; James M., 13; Francis M., 11; Susan E., 7;
Willis C., 5; and Frances A., a female, age 3.  If the child named James M. is the one who
served in the Civil War, he would have been only 16 in 1863, and perhaps a bet young for
war duty, but it could be possible that he is the veteran named in 1890.
No Fugetts are named in the 1870 and 1880 Elliott Co census reports; therefore,
we may assume that James M. Fugett had been a resident only a short time when the
1890 veteran's census was taken.
When the 1900 Elliott Co census was taken, James M. Fugett was still a resident
of that county and was living in the Crackers Neck Precinct, somewhere around
Newfoundland.  His age of 49 years seems to be incorrect and not consistent with ages
given in other census reports.
James Monroe Fugett, probably called "Roe", married Hannah Wagoner, a
daughter of David and Nancy Swanson Wagoner.  She was born in 1852 in KY
(according to Fugett family records), and died Apr 24, 1922.  Her age (47) given in the
1900 census appears to be correct.
Children of James M. and Hannah Fugett named in the 1900 census were:  James
D., 17; Ida M., 15; Henry C., 12; and Granville, 6.  (An older son, Peter Bruce, age 20,
was married to Susan Jarrells and had established his own home.)
In the 1910 Elliott County census James M. Fugett stated that he was 62 years of
age, and age that was more consistent that that given in 1900.  His wife, Hannah, was 59. 
They stated that is was the first marriage for Hannah, but the third for James.  They had
been married 30 years and had five children living and 3 deceased.  Granville, age 16,
was the only child at home; however, a grandson, Lester Johnson, age 2, was living with
James and Hannah.  Lester was a son of Mae Fugett and was killed in a truck wreck in
Wisconsin when still a young man.  He married Sebra Porter, a daughter of John Henry
and Sarah "Sally" Pennington Porter.  Lester is buried in the Eli Pennington Cemetery,
located a short distance east of the Stegall/Coldspring Road.
The Granvill Fugett, age 16, in the 1910 census, married Bertha Porter, another
daughter of Henry and "Sally" Porter.  He died in Illinois many years age and is buried in the Fugett Cemetery on Brown Ridge.  Granville's son, Jesse, married Goldia DeHart, a
daughter of John and Lizzie Shelton DeHart.
Family records show that James Monroe Fugett died Apr 9, 1920, therefore, it is
unlikely that he was named in the 1920 census, which was probably taken in June.  I
believe he and Hannah are buried in their family cemetery just below Dewdrop on Brown
Ridge.
John Stegall
John A. Stegall is a native of Elliott County, Kentucky, as were his
parents and grandparents before him.  Being an avid genealogist, he has
traced his paternal ancestry back to Suffolk County, England by way of
Virginia; and his maternal ancestry back to the Netherlands by way of
Virginia and New York.
    Mr. Stegall received his elementary education in a two-room country
school on North Ruin in Elliott County.  In 1944, he entered Sandy Hook High
School, now Elliott County High School, and graduated in 1948.  He later
enrolled in Morehead State Teachers College, now a state university.  By
necessity, he had to work to pay tuition and was able to attend classes only
during the summer sessions and a few night classes.  He received the AB
Degree in Social Studies in 1960.
    Mr. Stegall began his teaching career in the one-room and two-room
country schools of Elliott and remained there four years.  He was then
positioned in the Elliott County High School, from which he retired in
December 1980, with more than thirty years of service to the young people of
Elliott County.
    For many years, Mr. Stegall has written local history articles for The
Elliott County News, and is currently writing a series of articles on the
Confederate veterans of the Civil War.  This follows a series of forty-seven
articles relating to the Union veterans.
    Mr. Stegall lives on the same land his great-great-great-grandfather,
George Steagall, surveyed when he arrived here from Brunswick County,
Virginia sometime around 1825.
