Lynn Scott Genealogist

After two years of research and a year of writing, I finally I picked up my book from the printers yesterday.

The book was a result of a hunt for my ancestor, John Fouch,  in the 1840 Census.  Six John Fouchs with the same approximate birth year were found in four states.  How to determine which one was mine?   I researched each one, compiling multiple generations. Not wanting to waste all the information I had gathered, putting it into a book seemed like a possibility.  Of course that meant lots more research.  Ultimately I found 38 men named John Fouch over four generations.

As I worked, I found much confusion and inaccurate information written about the Fouch family, hence I footnoted everything I found.  The difficulty in sorting the lines came because they were so prolific and gave their children the same names.  The fact that they moved from state to state made sorting the generations even more difficult.
