I’ve been interested in the conversation taking place among Carol Fouty, Dean Hickman, Phyliss Yerian, Nancy Snyder, Robert Zimmerman and others about the Fouty Family.
My gggrandfather was William Fouty, born 1802 and possiblythe son of Frederick Foughty and Nancy Biggerstaff Fouty.Most of what I’ve seen so far about William says that he was born in 1802 in either Switzerland or Pennsylvania with no mention of parents or siblings.Very mysterious.
My father, John Fouty, who got a limited amount of oral history from his family, told me that there were 5 brothers in Pennsylvania, one of whom his ggrandfather moved to Ohio.This information conforms to the account by Phyliss Yerian in her posting.
William married Hannah Stanley from Scotland and had nine children.Hannah died in 1849 and William remarried Ann Duncan in 1850 and had 3 children, Lizzie Jane, Maud, and my ggrandfather Francis Marion Fouty.
Now Phyliss Yerian in her posting of September 7, 2003 says that William had siblings Joel 1808, Frederick 1804, John 1808 and Aaron 1812.
I would appreciate any information you can provide me, and in particular, information about William, born in 1802 and his parents.
I will respond immediately to any emails.
Thanks a lot
