OBJE:_META	<metadataxml><content><line><p style="text-indent: 0.3in; tab-ss: .4in">First, we are dealing with two Fouts lines: (1) Michael, eldest son of Jacob Pfautz, Immigrant to America before 1730, and (2) David Fouts, Sr., who was Theobald Pfautz, Sr., Immigrant of 1738. (The German diminutive of Theobald was &quot;Dewald&quot; which pronounced with German inflection sounded like &quot;David&quot; to the English-tuned ear.<span> </span>Considering that there were also real Davids among the Germans, there was inherent identification chaos in that dimension.)</p>&nbsp; <p style="text-indent: 0.3in; tab-ss: .4in">Michael Fouts and David Fouts, Sr., were cousins of some degree, settled Pipe Creek waters in Frederick (now Carroll) Co., Md., in the mid-1740s in concert, sold out and moved to Uwharrie waters, Rowan (now Randolph) Co., N.C., in 1762 - 63, and lived out the balance of their lives in close proximity to each other.<span> </span>Michael Fouts, who married Catherine Varner, was a convert to his wife&#39;s Mennonite persuasion.<span> </span>David, Sr., who married Catherine Spengel, was a convert to his wife&#39;s Dunker religion (or vice versa)</p>&nbsp; <p style="text-indent: 0.3in; tab-ss: .1in .5in">Michael&rsquo;s role in the Dougan-Fouts connection is the most easily explained.<span> </span><u>His third son, Jacob Fouts, 1761 - 1835</u>, married Eleanor Malinda Waymire, daughter of John Rudolph Waymire.<span> </span>Jacob of Michael was a Quaker, moved from Randolph Co., N.C., to Montgomery Co., Ohio, in 1801 - 02; then to Dearborn (now Wayne) Co., Indiana Territory, in 1806.<span> </span>[Jacob of Michael&#39;s eldest son William married Sarah Davenport, his second daughter Rebecca married Jesse Davenport, both in Randolph Co., N.C., in 1800---which partially explains your editor&#39;s involvement (his own Fouts connection comes through two generations of Hoovers)].<span> </span>In 1810, <u>Jacob Fouts, Jr., 1788 - 1874, second son</u>, left the Fouts Settlement on the Ohio - Indiana border, journeyed to Clark County, Indiana Territory, and married Eleanor Dougan. He took her back to Wayne County --- where they farmed in the Fouts Settlement until 1819, when they moved to Clark County.<span> </span>In 1832, they moved to Fulton Co., Illinois (Buckheart Twp.).</p>&nbsp; <p style="text-indent: 0.3in; tab-ss: .1in .5in"><u>David Fouts,<span> </span>Sr.&#39;s third son was also named Jacob</u>.<span> </span><u>This Jacob. cl747 - 1829</u>, married Mary Waymire, daughter of John Rudolph Waymire. (Some of the worst Fouts genealogy has been done by well-meaning Waymire descendants).<span> </span>Jacob of David, like Jacob of Michael, named <u>his second son Jacob</u>.<span> </span><u>This last Jacob, 1782 - 1860</u>, was also known as Jacob, Jr..<span> </span>In October, 1806, Jacob Fouts, Jr., son of Jacob of David, Sr., married Mary Dougan.<span> </span>Shortly thereafter, in concert with Jacob of David, Sr., and all of his family, they moved to Clark County, Indiana Territory.<span> </span>While Jacob, Jr., lived out his days in Clark County, some of his daughters and their families settled in Fulton Co., Illinois.<span> </span>Jacob, Jr.&#39;s elder brother David moved to Fulton County, Illinois, in 1832 with Jacob Fouts, Jr., of the Michael line.<span> </span>There were a number of intermarriages between the Michael and David, Sr., lines in Fulton County, which were further complicated, after 1851, by the presence of a large number of descendants of Conrad Foutz from Pennsylvania who shifted over to the Fouts spelling.<span> </span>But let&#39;s go back to North Carolina.</p>&nbsp; <p style="text-indent: 0.3in; tab-ss: .1in .5in">David Fouts, Sr.&#39;s fourth son (of seven) was Andrew, who married Elizabeth Garren.<span> </span>There are some disagreements with this identification, but the weight of evidence found in Randolph Co., N.C., documents during the past ten years is conclusive.<span> </span>Andrew of David, Sr., died cl782, leaving four sons and two daughters --- in addition to his widow, who was the &quot;Widow Fouts&quot; and &quot;Elizabeth Fouts&quot; in Randolph records, 1782 - 1801.<span> </span><u>The second son of Andrew and Elizabeth Garren Fouts was Jacob Fouts. 1775 - 1836</u>.<span> </span>In 1800 - 01, this Jacob Fouts married the Widow Isabelle Dougan and became the father of Angus and Edward.<span> </span>After being widowed for several years, and having sold out in Randolph County preparatory to moving to Clark County, Indiana Territory, Jacob of Andrew married Susannah Fouts, youngest daughter of Jacob Fouts, Sr., and Mary Waymire.<span> </span>She was his first cousin---if the identification is correct.</p></line></content></metadataxml>
