Your Josiah is only a distant cousin of the Benjamin Fugate line in KY.Josiah was a son of Randolph Fugate and Maryan Deelwood, who married before 1740 in Orange Co. VA.Josiah and his brothers Randolph & James all moved to the New River area - Montgomery Co. VA, later Wythe Co.Josiah and James were living on the Upper Clinch River in what was Washington, Russell finally Tazewell Co. after they left the New River, and then moved to KY before 1800.
Elizabeth and William Prater moved with them,and William died there.Elizabeth can be found on tax records in KY after his death.
Randolph Fugate 1st was one of the sons of Josias Fugate who died in 1757 in King George Co. leaving a will naming his sons and daughter.Benjamin's father, Martin, was Randolph's younger brother.
