Ancestry/Genealogy

I have John Fike (b. 1748 NC - d.1826 NC), son of John Fike (b. 1720 NC - d. 1785 NC) and Elizabeth Sarah Malachi, and brother of Nathan Fike (I don't have Nathan's middle name or any family for him). A lot of family trees consider that John's brother Nathan is Nathan Buford Fike.

John Fike (1720-1785) is my dead end - I haven't gotten him farther back. The Fitch name possibility may be a creation of the Soundex search rather than a real possibility, but it keeps getting suggested by Ancestry and other search engines.

I do have a William Foushee b c 1727 but no family info for him personally. His parents are Charles Foushee and Christina Pulliem - they may be the parents or grandparents of Mary Foushee Cook and her brothers, Joseph and Elijah, though records do not show Mary or Elijah as their children. They are the parents of Simon Foushee, who deeded land to Joseph in terms that imply a familial relationship.

Check the Chatham County, North Carolina Register of Deeds for both Foushee and Fike. There are a lot of deeds to wade through, but there is a lot of information to gain.

Are you on Ancestry? If so I can send you the link to my tree, but it's a mess. I haven't cleaned up some of the incorrect stuff and in efforts to merge trees, I've got a lot of duplication.

Otherwise, PM me your regular email so I can send you a GEDcom file as an attachment.
