James enlisted, along with his sons William James and John to fight for the Confederacy. in Co. C of the 34th Virginia Cavalry under Col. W. A. Witcher. He is listed as Whitaker, Sr. J. with the rank of private.
James was killed by Union marauders or bushwackers at his gate. He lived on Belcher Ridge, later known as Whitaker Ridge, which straddled Tazewell County VA and McDowell Co. WV. This area was a battleground between Confederate and Union sympathizers, pitting neighbor against neighbor and sometimes splitting families. All of his neighbors supported the Confederacy, but the area wasn't immune from raiding parties of Union soldiers or Union partisans.
One piece of family lore that has been handed down is that he taught singing by notes and using a pitch pipe to get the key.

From the Compilation of Genealogy Records of Robert Hood Tate by Billie Bailey, January 2001
Alfred Shankle, private, Company B, 2nd Battalion (formerly Company C, 5th Battalion) Tennessee, confederate State Army, enlisted October 10, 1861 in the Civil War. He drew a pension (#14954 I) in Gustine, Comanche County, TX in 1909.
From Alfred Newberry Shankle's pension application filed July 24, 1909 and approved August 31, 1909 in Gustine, Comanche County, TX, Alfred stated: "I enlisted and served in the military service of the Confederate States during the war between the States of the United States, and that I did not desert the Confederate service, but during said war I was loyal and true to my duty, and never at any time voluntarily abandoned my post of duty in the said service; that I was honorably discharged at Flat Gap, TN in 1864 on account of ill health and that I am 62 years old, was born in Dekalb County, AL and have resided in Texas since 1871 in the county of Comanche."
Alfred's brother-in-law, Aaron A. Tate aged 61 years of Hamilton County, TX, testified on the application for Alfred's Confederate Pension stating: "I have known him all of my life. I was at his home when he came home on a furlough with a spell of fever, and knew that he was from the army of the Confederacy located in Georgia, as well as I remember at this time, and heard him speak of the service in the said army. I lived in the same community about ten or twelve miles apart and associated together frequently. I did not know of any other soldier in the service by that name. I am certain that the said applicant is the person I have testified about in the foregoing answers. I have answered in the foregoing that I lived near the applicant and personally know him and saw him while at home, and my knowledge of the same is not based on conjecture. I know he stayed in the service until the surrender. I do not know what company, I don't recollect. He went in about the 3rd year of the war and stayed a long time, about the last two years of the war. He is not able to do a days work. He is too old and feeble. He has lived in Texas since the year 1870 and has continuously lived here.
Myra Ann (Shankle) Tate, Alfred's sister and the wife of Aaron A. Tate, testified on the application stating: "I have known the applicant about 50 years. I knew him in Dekalb County, Al. Knew him about all my life. I know that the applicant enlisted in the service of the Confederacy about three years after the war began and served until it closed, and performed the service of a soldier. I do not know that company he enlisted or served in. He enlisted sometime in 1864 in the Western Army, about two years. He is not able to support himself by labor. I am the sister of the applicant and was at home at the time and place designated above and actually knew that he left home and joined the army and returned to the army and remained there until the close of the war. I am positively certain that the applicant is the identical person testified about. I have answered above. He was my brother and we lived together in the same family. He has lived here since 1870."
When Alfred died in 1916, his widow, Martha Jane drew his pension until her death in 1919. | Shankle, Alfred Newberry (I15339)

From the designation of her son William as a "free Mulatto" in documents from 1771, we can assume Martha was a woman of color or possibly Native American. If she were black, we do not know if she was a slave or free, but since her son was free, it is possible she was free as well. More research is needed into manumission records to see if William and/or Martha were freed. Also, need to check the 1850 census for descendants to look at racial classification. | BUTLER, Martha (I7694)

"William Fugate received a warrant for one hundred acres on the south side of Moccasin Creek and north side of Clinch Mountain in Russell County on 3 Feb 1812 with survey recorded in Russell County Surveyor's Book 2:85 on 2 Apr. 1814. William Fugate purchased twenty acres on the south side of Moccasin Creek from Meshack & Aggie Stacy on 12 Aug 1808 (Russell County Deed Book 4:239). In the personal property tax list of 1810 William Fugate was recorded as one white tithable with no slaves and two horses. He was made constable in Russell county with his brother Benjamin in 1812. The land of William Fugate appears to have been in that part of Russell county which after 1814 was in Scott County.
Scott Co., VA Deed Book II (1817-1824) pg.327: 16 Jan 1822. William Fugate and Lydia his wife, of Scott Co., to Zachariah Fugate, Junr of Russell co., for $100, land in Scott Co., south side of Big Moccasin creek, bordering Joseph Davison and said Fugate, and Solomon Frazier.

Zachariah Fugate was probably born in Frederick Co., VA about 1763, and accompanied other family members to southwestern VA. Like his brothers he settled north of Clinch Mountain on Moccasin Creek in what became Russell County following the lead of his eldest brother Francis.
Zachariah Fugate was overseer of a road in stead of Alexander Barnett in August 1788, was appointed Ensign in August 1790, served on a jury in Sept 1790, took oath as Ensign in Aug 1791, surveyed a road in Feb 1794, appointed Ensign in Oct 1791, recommended as Captain in Oct 1794, commissioned Captain in Jan 1795 and reported a road not in repair in Nov 1796. Zachariah Fugate was made administrator of the estate of Martin Fugate in June 1803. He was described as a Justice of the Peace in 1830. He was sheriff of Russell Co. in 1831. Zachariah Fugate appeared in Russell Co., VA Court several times in the 1790's in law suits as plaintiff, defendant and witness. | FUGATE, Zachariah (I14272)

Isaac Beverly Fugate's son Ferdinand Joseph Colbert removed to Texas County, Missouri in the late 1880's. In 1891 his son Isaac Beverly also moved to Texas County, arriving by train. They homesteaded 160 acres on the headwaters of Hog Creek 1 1/2 miles from the Stultz school, post office and general store. They farmed the homestead until the mid 1920's when they retired to a home near the Stultz general store which they operated until it was closed in 1931.

From The Fugate Family of Russell Co., VA by David Farris, Gateway Press 1986
There is some doubt as to who the original Fugate was in America. Early genealogists thought that Peter LaFoucate of Baltimore County, Maryland was the original settler. Further study, however, casts doubt on this and points to James Fugett who married Martha Poel (Poole). James was the son of James Fugett and Emaline Lamb of Ltegray, London.
James Fugett married Martha Poel in Henrico County, Virginia in 1694. The county was established in 1611, just four years after Jamestown. It extended on both sides of the James River from the junction of the James and Appomattox Rivers to the Blue Ridge Mountains. In 1634 there were 4914 settlers in Virginia, with 419 of these in Henrico County. In 1694 Henrico County consisted of Goochland (1727), Albemarle (1744), Amherst(1761), Fluvanna(1777), Nelson, Chesterfield (1747), Cumberland(1749), Buckingham(1732), Powhatan and part of Appomattox Counties as well as the cities of Richmond, Charlottesville and Colonial Heights. The boundaries have remained essentially unchanged since 1747.
They are known to have resided in Perquimans Precinct, North Carolina, from 1697 to 1702.
Josias Fugate is the earliest confirmed Fugate. He resided in the Northern Neck of Virginia in the Brunswick Parish of King George County. In Josias' will, dated 18 March, 1757, he mentions his sons Francis, John, Josias, Randolph, Martin and daughter Ann Swillavant, as well as his wife, Mary. Mary has, by tradition, been assumed to be Mary Martin. It is probable that his sons John, Josias, Randolph, and Martin, had moved elsewhere to settle. Randolph is known to have been in Orange County, Virginia, by 1738.
Martin Fugate was recorded in Frederick County in 1755. The area he was located in was possibly the area known as Dunmore County from 1772 to 1777, renamed Shenandoah County in 1777, and later divided into Page and Warren Counties. He was also recorded in Culpeper Co., Virginia, in 1761, 1763, and 1775. It is probable that all his children were born in this area. His brother John Jr. was recorded as selling his land in the same area on 09 October, 1771 then purchasing land in 1772 in the Moccasin
Valley in what was then Botetourt County, and later Fincastle, Washington, and finally Russell County. Martin was first noted in Russell County in 1789 as "exempt from taxation". It was in Russell County that Martin Fugate's estate was settled on 29 June, 1803.
The area which is now Russell County was an intertribal Indian hunting preserve until 1745 when it became part of Augusta County. Between 1769 and 1785 it was contained in Botetourt, Fincastle, and Washington Counties. In 1786, Russell Country was formed from Washington County. The boundary lines extended from Clinch Mountain to the Cumberland Gap on the Kentucky Border and eastward to a point near Bluefield, Virginia. In 1790 the County had a population of 3338, including 190 slaves.
The first known group of settlers arrived in Castles Woods, in 1770. Among this group, then considered squatters, was Charles Bickley, brother of Mary Carter. They claimed and settled on land to which they could not obtain legal title because of problems with the Loyal Company, Indians, and the Crown. Many of these first settlers did not obtain legal right to their land until the 1780s. A good account of the settlement of Southwest Virginia is given by Judge Lyman Chalkley.
In 1772, Francis Fugate settled at Moccasin Creek, one year after Col. John Tate. In 1774, because of continuing Indian raids, Captain William Russell was ordered to build a number of palisade forts as a means of protection. These forts, which protected many of the Fugate ancestors include Elk Garden Fort, where Solomon Litton was captured by Indians, Fort Blackmore, where Dale Carter was killed, and Tate's Fort, located on Col. John Tate's land. Following them were, among others, Colbert Fugate, Robert Tate Sr. and Robert Tate Jr.
The Moccasin Valley, where most of the Fugates and Tates settled, is a fertile but rocky farming area located in the southwestern part of Russell County. It extends from Hansonville to near Big Moccasin Gap in Scott County, with Clinch Mountain on the south and Moccasin Ridge on the North. The name of Big Moccasin Creek, attributed to Daniel Boone about 1769 after the first settlers found Indian moccasin footprints in the soft mud of the creek banks.
Martin Fugate had at least 4 sons Francis, Henley, Zachariah, and Colbert were all mentioned in court records. In addition, Benjamin and William Fugate, all residing in Moccasin Creek are probably his sons. He also may have had a daughter, Ann, married to Samuel Haddix of Moccasin Creek. A possible second daughter, married to James McCarty, was killed by Indians in 1788.
Martin's son Colbert, as well as Colbert's son, Isaac Beverly Fugate, who was born on 04 May, 1804, lived in Moccasin Valley, Russell County their entire lives.
Colbert Fugate came to Russell County, VA in 1771 and settled on what was known as Big Moccasin Creek. Colbert Fugate served in Virginia's legislature for two terms. Colbert and his wife are buried on the family plantation which is still in the Tate family of Lebanon, VA. John Tate and Mary Bracken are buried there also.

From the unpublished manuscript, Indian Atrocities Along the Clinch, Powell and Holston Rivers, by Emory L. Hamilton pages 164-172.
This family of Harmans were of German origin, Adam Heinrich Hermann emigrating to America in 1726, with a brief stop over the Isle of Man, where Henry Harman of this sketch was
born. Seven Harman brothers emigrated from Germany together, Jacob, Valentine, Mathias, George, Daniel, John, and Heinrich Adam. They first stopped off in Pennsylvania, then emigrated to the Shenandoah Valley and some on into North Carolina. At least three of these brothers settled in
Southwest Virginia, namely, Heinrich Adam, Valentin and Jacob. They were living in the New River German settlement, the first settlement ever made west of the Alleghenies on the "Western Waters", and were living there prior to 1745. In 1749 Moravian Missionaries conducted the first recorded religious services in Southwest Virginia in the home of Jacob Harman, and Dr. Thomas Walker mentions stopping at the home of Harman on his memorable exploration trip in 1750.
Valentine and Jacob were both killed by Indians on New River. Valentine was killed on Sinking Creek in what is now Giles Co., VA. In a land suit filed in the High Court of
Chancery in Augusta Co., on the 23rd of July, 1807, Taylor vs Harman, Mathias Harman, nephew of the slain Valentine, says: Valentine was killed by the Indians on New River and at the same time his (Mathias') brother, Daniel Harman and Andrew Moser were taken prisoner. Daniel made his escape, but Andrew was held prisoner.
On the 30th of June, 1808, Daniel Harman, deposes, in the same land suit, saying: In 1757, Valentine was killed in my presence less than a foot away from me, and I was taken prisoner. Valentine Harman, who was slain left a widow
Mary Harman, but no children.
The Harmans of this sketch are the descendants of Heinrich Adam Hermann who emigrated from Germany, who married Louisa
Katrina, October 8, 1723. Louisa Katrina died March 18, 1749. The children of this marriage were:
[1] Adam Harman, the eldest, born in Germany in 1724;
[2] Henry Harman born on the Isle of Man in 1726;
[3] George Harman, 1727 - 1749;
[4] Daniel Harman, born Pennsylvania, 1729;
[5] Mathias Harman, born near Strausburg, VA, in 1736;
[6] Christina Harman, who married Jeremiah Pate, and lived on Little River in Montgomery Co., VA;
[7] Catherine Harman who married Ulrich Richards in Rowan Co., NC;
[8] Phillipina Harman, who died in 1751;
[9] Valentine Harman who settled on the upper Clinch River in 1771, and moved to Lincoln Co., KY, about 1775, and was a member of the Henderson Legislature at Boonesboro in May, 1775;
[10] A daughter, name unknown, married a Mr. Looney;
[11] Jacob Harman, perhaps the Jacob who settled in Tazewell
Co., VA in 1771.
The sons of old Heinrich Adam Hermann, the German emigrant, became great hunters and Indian fighters. While most of them were great hunters, one in particular became one of the noted Long Hunters. It is hard to determine just which
son this was, but evidence points to the youngest who was Jacob.

Chancery in Augusta Co., on the 23rd of July, 1807, Taylor vs Harman, Mathias Harman, nephew of the slain Valentine, says: Valentine was killed by the Indians on New River and at the same time his (Mathias') brother, Daniel Harman and Andrew Moser were taken prisoner. Daniel made his escape, but Andrew was held prisoner.
On the 30th of June, 1808, Daniel Harman, deposes, in the same land suit, saying: In 1757, Valentine was killed in my presence less than a foot away from me, and I was taken prisoner. Valentine Harman, who was slain left a widow
Mary Harman, but no children.
The Harmans of this sketch are the descendants of Heinrich Adam Hermann who emigrated from Germany, who married Louisa
Katrina, October 8, 1723. Louisa Katrina died March 18, 1749. The children of this marriage were:
[1] Adam Harman, the eldest, born in Germany in 1724;
[2] Henry Harman born on the Isle of Man in 1726;
[3] George Harman, 1727 - 1749;
[4] Daniel Harman, born Pennsylvania, 1729;
[5] Mathias Harman, born near Strausburg, VA, in 1736;
[6] Christina Harman, who married Jeremiah Pate, and lived on Little River in Montgomery Co., VA;
[7] Catherine Harman who married Ulrich Richards in Rowan Co., NC;
[8] Phillipina Harman, who died in 1751;
[9] Valentine Harman who settled on the upper Clinch River in 1771, and moved to Lincoln Co., KY, about 1775, and was a member of the Henderson Legislature at Boonesboro in May, 1775;
[10] A daughter, name unknown, married a Mr. Looney;
[11] Jacob Harman, perhaps the Jacob who settled in Tazewell
Co., VA in 1771.
The sons of old Heinrich Adam Hermann, the German emigrant, became great hunters and Indian fighters. While most of them were great hunters, one in particular became one of the noted Long Hunters. It is hard to determine just which
son this was, but evidence points to the youngest who was Jacob.

This family of Harmans were of German origin, Adam Heinrich Hermann emigrating to America in 1726, with a brief stop over the Isle of Man, where Henry Harman of this sketch was
born. Seven Harman brothers emigrated from Germany together, Jacob, Valentine, Mathias, George, Daniel, John, and Heinrich Adam. They first stopped off in Pennsylvania, then emigrated to the Shenandoah Valley and some on into North Carolina. At least three of these brothers settled in
Southwest Virginia, namely, Heinrich Adam, Valentin and Jacob. They were living in the New River German settlement, the first settlement ever made west of the Alleghenies on the "Western Waters", and were living there prior to 1745.

Several researchers have believed that the wife of this John Tate was a Jane "Jenny" Steele, but recently, after examining the Revolutionary Pension Application and Statement of John Berry, it appears that John Tate's wife was actually Jane "Jenny" Berry, the sister of John Berry, both children of George Berry (est. 1725-1804) of Augusta County, Virginia. In his Revolutionary War Service Statement, John Berry clearly states that he served for one month in the place of John Tate, his brother-in-law, and served under [then] Capt. William Tate, who appears to be the brother of this John Tate, as follows:
That also he (John Berry) volunteered for two months which tour he served out under Capt Thos Smith [Thomas Smith] in the fall of the year seventeen hundred and eighty who went from Staunton Virginia. The other officers not recollected. that also, he went as a substitute for his brother-in-law John Tate and served one month.
This tour was served in the fall about Sept. shortly previous to Cornwallises capture in Oct?r. 1781 [Cornwallis, 19 Oct 1781] under Capt. William Tate in Colo Boyers regiment again with Major Long ? Gen?l Layfayette Gen?l Wayne ? Gen?l Mulenburgh [sic: Lafayette, Anthony Wayne, Peter Muhlenberg] regular officers were along and commanded but this declarant was more under the immediate command of Gen?l [William] Campbell who was a militia officer & died on this Expedition Major [Thomas] Armisted is also recollected as a regular officer. that he served several minor tours as a volunteer besides the foregoing ? particulars of which are not sufficiently recollected to set them forth that on the second Expedition above named he marched from Augusta County Va. to Richmond where he staid in service the ballance of s?d tour.
It should also be noted that George Berry, John Tate's apparent father-in-law, was a witness to John Tate's will, listed above, also adding additional support to John Tate's wife being a Berry instead of a Steele.
In addition, Based on the research by the Berry Family Research Team, they also feel fairly confident that John Tate Esquire's wife was Jane 'Jinny' BERRY, a daughter of George Berry (c1720-1803).. Their research is at the following website:

At the age of ten Archibald was sent to the academy of William Graham at Timber Ridge meetinghouse (since developed into Washington and Lee University), at Lexington. Graham was a Presbyterian minister who had been trained in theology by John Witherspoon.
By the time he was 21 Alexander was a preacher of the Presbyterian Church. He was appointed the president of Hampden-Sydney College[2] and from there was called to the Third Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia. The Princeton Theological Seminary was established at Princeton, New Jersey in 1812 and Alexander was appointed its first professor, inaugurated on August 12, 1812 and served until 1840. | ALEXANDER, Rev.

From wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Austen
George Austen (1731-1805), came from a family who had been respected and wealthy wool merchants since the 16th century, but the wealth was consolidated, with eldest sons inheriting each generation, and George's branch of the family fell into poverty.
George's mother Rebecca died in 1733, soon after the birth of his sister Leonora. His father William married again to Susan Kelk then he too died, on 7 December 1737 leaving young children, the oldest being 7 years old. Susan was not at all interested in her step-children, and all three were taken in by their uncle Stephen Austen (a bookseller in St Paul's Churchyard, London) and his wife Elizabeth. Stephen and Elizabeth were prepared to keep little Leonora, and George was sent on to his Aunt Hooper (Elizabeth Austen, the sister of the children's father William) who had married George Hooper. George Hooper died in 1744 He was raised by his uncle, Francis Austen, a wealthy lawyer, who paid for George's education at Tonbridge School and St. John's College, Oxford.
His sister Philadelphia went to India to find a husband; at age 16 George entered St John's College, Oxford on a fellowship. He most likely met Cassandra Leigh in Oxford. Austen's mother, Cassandra (1739-1827), was a member of the prominent Leigh family; her father was rector at All Souls College, Oxford, where she grew up among the gentry. Her eldest brother James inherited a fortune and large estate from his great-aunt Perrot, with the only condition that he change his name to Leigh-Perrot.
The two were engaged, probably around 1763 when they exchanged miniatures. George received the living at the Steventon parish through Thomas Knight, the wealthy husband of his second cousin, who owned Steventon and its associated farms, one of which the Austen family rented to live in. Cassandra's father died in Bath in February, 1764; two months later Cassandra and George married on 26 April 1764 at St Swithin's Church in Bath, by license, in a simple ceremony, leaving immediately for Hampshire. Their income was modest, with only George's small per annum living; Cassandra brought only the expectation of a small inheritance at the time of her mother's death to the marriage.
They took up residence at the nearby Deane rectory, because Steventon's was more than a century old, unfit to live in until it underwent renovations. Their first three children were born in quick succession at Deane: James in 1765, George in 1766, and Edward in 1767. After several months at home Cassandra placed them with Elizabeth Littlewood, a woman living nearby to nurse and raise them for twelve to eighteen months, a custom followed for all their children.
The family moved to Steventon in 1768, where Henry was born in 1771. At about this time it became clear to the children's mother that George, who was developmentally disabled, subject to seizures, and may have been deaf, had to be sent out to be fostered. Cassandra was born in 1773, followed by Francis in 1774 and Jane in 1775. The family relied on the patronage of their kin and hosted visits from numerous family members. From 1773 until 1796, George Austen supplemented this income by farming and by teaching three or four boys at a time, who boarded at his home.
He and his wife remained in Hampshire for thirty years, until he retired to Bath. On the 2nd. January 1805, Jane Austen wrote to her brother, Frank, who was on duty with the Royal Navy: "We have lost an excellent Father. An illness of only eight and forty hours carried him off yesterday morning between ten and eleven. His tenderness as a father, who can do justice to?"

In March, 1797, William Spiller, a citizen of Virginia made his will whereby he devised to each of his four then children, a tract of land, by name; gives to his wife, in the event of her marrying again, a tract of three hundred acres in Kentucky, some furniture, and one fifth part of his stock; and lends her, during life, certain slaves; but in case she did not marry, it was his desire that his estate should be kept together, for the support of her and all his children, until they successively attained twenty one years, or married, "when I wish all my slaves (except the one given to my daughter Mary) may be equally divided among them and my wife, allotting her an equal proportion with each of them." And so on, as they successively attained twenty one, or married; "and the part allotted my wife is to be equally divided, at her death, among all my children. All my property not specifically devised, as also what I have lent to my wife, I design, may be equally divided among all my children, at her death."
"In 1799, George A. Spiller, a son of the testator, was born, and in 1800, the testator died. Among the tracts so devised, was one in Kentucky, to B. C. Spiller, who having sold and conveyed to sundry persons, this suit in chancery was brought, by George A. Spiller, against them, asserting claim to a portion thereof, as a pretermitted child of the testator . . ." The upshot of this case was that George was indeed entitled to his share in his father?s estate and one-fifth of what his brother B. C. Spiller had inherited and sold.
