Six John Fouchs with the same approximate birth year were found in four states. When men of the same name show up in records throughout several states, their parentage can often be determined only by compiling multiple generations using thorough research so an accurate account of each individual can be determined. Hence the beginnings of this book. There has been much confusion and inaccurate information written about the Fouch family over the years, partly because they were so prolific and gave their children the same names. The fact that they moved from state to state makes sorting the generations even more difficult. Many thanks to Loraine Criddle, whose Fouch Family History Association Newsletter were invaluable in tracking some of the wondering Fouchs. One common trait among the family is that many lived to the age of 95. Variations of the spelling of the Fouch name throughout the book are done in the way that particular individual spelled his name. 2 3 ARRIVAL IN AMERICA The Fouch story begins when two Fouch immigrants arrived in America aboard a ship named Thomas; Hugh age 17 and Thomas age 16, probably brothers.1 Departing from London on August 21, 1635 with 56 other passengers bound for Virginia, they were “examined by the Minister of Gravesend touching their conformitie in our religion” prior to departure. This questioning indicates they were Protestants because “England was not allowing Catholics into Virginia and all potential emigrants were questioned under oath as to their religious beliefs.”2 Nothing about their parents or family is known at this time but their name implies a French ancestry and was probably pronounced “Foushay.”3 Records are silent on Hugh’s whereabouts for the next seven years. He may have been working off an indenture or simply working to earn money to purchase land. Regardless, life in the Virginia colonies at this time was not easy. Men unaccustomed to work stood little chance of survival. Their workday stretched ten to fourteen hours, six days a week.4 Five out of six persons arriving in the first thirty years of the Virginia settlement died of overwork, exposure to the semi-tropical sun (something called the “period of seasoning”), poor food, disease or Indian massacre.5 Whether Hugh was in Virginia or Maryland during these first years is unknown but a tax list of 1642 shows Hugh ffouch in Kent County, Maryland.6 It is here he met and became the partner of James Macgregor. In July 1650 the two men applied for 300 acres in Northumberland County, Virginia followed by 800 acres a year later.7 Northumberland land patent books show numerous transactions by Macgregor and Fouch which basically reveals they were land speculating. They bought 450 acres in 1653 and sold it in 1658. Their original 300 acres combined with another purchase of 394 acres in 1653 sold in 1658.8 They eventually made their homes on 1280 acres which included the 800 purchased in 1651 plus another 480 in 1661.9 All of this land was along the Chetanck Creek which spilled into the Potomac River. 1 John Camden Hotten, The original lists of persons of quality, 1600-1700 (New York: reprint: Empire State Book Co., 1874) 126, 127. 2 Billie Anita Foutch Breedlove, William Foutch and his descendants’ (Wyandotte, Ok: Gregath Publishing Co., 2000) 26. 3 The name Fouch appears in records as Foutch, Fouts, Foutz, Fouck, Fauche, Faugh, Feutch, Fowtch. For this work the name will be spelled Fouch unless referencing a specific source. 4 Russell R.

On the 21st of November 1653 Hugh ffouch was ordered to pay a Mr. Spoke 1,729 pounds of tobacco.10 And on November 5, 1668 Hugh received 100 pounds of tobacco from the County for shooting a wolf.11 Men often worked in partnership with one another to share the hard work of raising tobacco to gain capital to pay surveyor and clerk fees along with headrights to patent land. On average a man could harvest twelve hundred pounds of tobacco a year.12 The headright system which lasted until the end of the 17th century, said that anyone paying the passage of others to Virginia received fifty acres of land for each immigrant.13 Land records show that Macgregor and Fouch used headrights to gain their land and undoubtedly raised tobacco to pay for the headrights. Hugh stayed behind in Virginia when his partner, James Macgregor moved to Maryland in 1665.14 Eventually Hugh also moved to Maryland, selling his land in Virginia to Thomas Hughes in August of 1669. His wife, Rosamond is mentioned as consenting to the sale.15 Maryland court records reflect his entry into Maryland as an immigrant to Baltimore County in 1670 under the name “Forth.” He transported his wife, Rosamond and six daughters: Alice, Angell, Ann, Joane, Mary, Rosamond.16 Two years after arriving in Baltimore County, Maryland, Hugh proved a warrant for 650 acres of land.17 This may have included a 250 acre and a 200 acre tract transferred to Hugh from James Macgregor the same year.18 This land was described as “being on the east side of the Choppick Bay in the county of Baltimore [to become Cecil County in 1674] in a river called the Bohemia River.” The tract was known as the “Banks.” While Hugh and James no longer partnered in buying land, they did remain close friends. James named his son Hugh, presumably after Hugh Fouch and in James’ will, dated 1676, he left “my wearing clothes unto Hugh Fouche.”19 Hugh died between July 19, 1702 (the day his will was written) and July 27, 1702 (the day it was proved). In his will he names Henry Watson and son-in-laws, John Bavinton, husband of daughter Mary; Thomas Terry, husband of daughter Rosamond; and William Davis, husband of 10 Beverly Fleet, Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Vol. II Northumberland County Records, 1652-1655 (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1961), 36. 11 Fleet, Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Vol. I Northumbria Collection 1645-1720, 529. 12 Russell R.

We’ll label him Hugh2 to distinguish between the two men. The will of Richard Nash in 1680 gives to Hugh Foucke, Jr., 150 acres of land on the Elk River in Maryland.26 Even though the term Jr. doesn’t always mean a son of the so named individual, it does indicate another person by that name existed in the area. Since Hugh Fouch the immigrant was the only person with a surname of Fouch in Cecil County, it is a reasonable conclusion that Hugh, Jr. was his son. 20 Cecil County, Maryland, Prerogative Court Wills, 1701-1703, Liber TB, Hugh Fouch; online image, Maryland State Archives, (http://guide.mdsa.gov.net) Series S538-16, No.

  • Review Essay
    Review Essay THOMAS R. TURNER Thomas J. Craughwell. Stealing Lincoln’s Body. Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 2007. Pp. 250. In a story about Thomas J. Craughwell’s Stealing Lincoln’s Body on the CNN.com Web site, Bob Bender, senior editor of Simon and Schuster, notes that Abraham Lincoln has been a best-selling subject, probably since the month after he died. While Lincoln scholars have occasion- ally agonized that there is nothing new to be said about Lincoln— witness James G. Randall’s 1936 American Historical Review article, “Has the Lincoln Theme Been Exhausted?”—books about the sixteenth president continue to pour forth unabated. (This soul searching seems unique to the Lincoln field; one is hard put to think of another research field where scholars raise similar concerns.) If anything, the pace may be accelerating, with the approaching bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth in 2009 calling renewed attention to all facets of his life and career. Bender also cites the old adage that, in the publishing world, books on animals, medicine, and Lincoln are always guaranteed best-sellers. George Stevens in 1939 published a book titled Lincoln’s Doctor’s Dog & Other Famous Best Sellers, and in 2001 Richard Grayson produced a work with a similar title. Neither book sold many copies; Grayson’s sold fewer than two hundred, causing him to write “The only thing I can come up with is that Lincoln isn’t as popular as he used to be.” Given the limitations on press budgets, the number of copies of a book that must be sold to make a profit, a decline in the number of Lincoln collectors, and severe restrictions on library budgets, Grayson may be correct: merely publishing a Lincoln book is no longer a guar- antee of financial success.

  • The Transformation of the Lincoln Tomb
    The Lincoln Landscape The Transformation of the Lincoln Tomb NANCY HILL Abraham Lincoln’s burial place was designed and constructed in an age of sideshows and curiosities. The display of relic collections and memorabilia was an expected part of museums and other public at- tractions in the late nineteenth century. It was the beginning of the age of tourism, when visitors enjoyed many kinds of local oddities as part of their travel experience. The professionalization of museum and park management was still decades away. Caretakers, rather than curators, were employed to oversee sites such as Lincoln’s New Sa- lem, the Lincoln Home, and the Lincoln Tomb. Although most of the caretakers performed their duties with care and dedication, public expectations began to change, and different management strategies eventually were adopted. The original design of the Lincoln Tomb was deficient for the secu- rity of the president’s remains. It was also structurally unsound and inappropriate to the commemoration of his life. Lincoln’s increasingly elevated status in history necessitated changes to the structure and a radical departure from its original design and use. A decades-long struggle transformed the tomb from an ordinary tourist attraction to a dignified monument honoring the memory of Abraham Lincoln and the symbol that he had become. The First Monument to Lincoln Springfield, Illinois, grew rapidly in the 1850s. The Old City Grave- yard was closed by mid-decade, and the Hutchinson Cemetery, where Eddie Lincoln was buried in 1850, was rapidly reaching its capacity. In 1855 the city council acquired seventeen wooded acres for a new cemetery north of the city limits.

  • James Adams of Springfield, Illinois 33
    Black: James Adams of Springfield, Illinois 33 James Adams of Springfield, Illinois: The Link between Abraham Lincoln and Joseph Smith Susan Easton Black Historians Richard L. Bushman and Bryon C. Andreasen have searched for evidence to connect the life of Joseph Smith with Abraham Lincoln.1 Cir- cumstances place Smith actually in Springfield, Illinois, on two occasions— in early November 1839 (while en route east to Washington DC), and again during the last week of December 1842 and the first week of January 1843 (during his hearing before federal judge Nathaniel Pope). At the same time, Lincoln was an elected representative from Sangamon County to the state legislature (he voted in favor of the Nauvoo Charter), and a Springfield law- yer in the Eighth Circuit District Court of Illinois. Yet, historical evidence is not conclusive whether either man tipped a hat to the other. It has been well- argued that Lincoln and Smith lived separate lives.2 However, such an argument fails to recognize the role of Democrat James Adams in the lives of Lincoln and Smith. Both men not only knew Adams, they spoke of him in public places and wrote of him in newsprint and private correspondence. Honest Abe characterized Adams as “a forger, a whiner, a fool, and a liar.”3 Smith touted Adams as a pillar of society. Without the jux- taposition of these two men, the life of Adams may not be worth much men- tion except as a side note. But with Lincoln and Smith expressing divergent opinions, the life of James Adams takes on greater significance.

  • Chapter Three “Separated from His Father, He Studied English Grammar”: New Salem (1831-1834) in 1848, the Thirty-Nine-Year-O
    Chapter Three “Separated from His Father, He Studied English Grammar”: New Salem (1831-1834) In 1848, the thirty-nine-year-old Lincoln offered some sage advice to his law partner, William H. Herndon, who had complained that he and other young Whigs were being discriminated against by older Whigs. In denying the allegation, Lincoln urged him to avoid thinking of himself as a victim: “The way for a young man to rise, is to improve himself every way he can, never suspecting that any body wishes to hinder him. Allow me to assure you, that suspicion and jealousy never did help any man in any situation. There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down; and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.”i By his own account, Lincoln began his emancipated life “a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy.”ii After escaping from his paternal home, he spent three years preparing himself for a way of life far different from the hardscrabble existence that he had been born into. As he groped his way toward a new identity, he improved himself every way he could. i Lincoln to Herndon, Washington, 10 July 1848, in Roy P.
