    • Excerpts from Tate Families of the Southern States, Volume II, by Laura Mentzel and Ethel Updike, 1984

      Robert Fugate was born in 1789 in Russell County, VA, son of Colbert and Hannah Tate Fugate. He married September 13, 1810 to Esther Seymour. A pretty, old, brick house on State route 71, near Grassy Creek in Russell County, Va was the home of Robert Fugate. It was built prior to the civil War. Robert was a Justice of the Peace for Russell County, a Surveyor and an Engineer. He joined the Methodist Church in 1818 and nearby the old brick home, he built a brick church, long since torn down. It was named "Esther's Chapel" in honor of his wife. At the time slavery was abolished he owned 18 slaves. Their ages and birth dates were kept on a sheet of paper inserted into the family bible. Some of these slaves stayed on with the Fugate family after emancipation.
