Fauquier County Tapscotts - The Fitzhugh Family

 The Fitzhugh Family

 Once again, I’ve allowed myself to get sidetracked. I received an interesting email yesterday asking “would you happen to know if ... Tapscotts and/or Percifuls are related to the Fitzhugh family of Fauquier County, VA? Fitzhughs? I didn't remember seeing the Fitzhugh name. But when I looked in my database, Fitzhughs were there and there was a connection to William Doddrige Tapscott and a very remote connection to Mary Frances Tapscott. We have already blogged about Mary Frances  and someday, we will do the same for William Doddridge. Since both Mary Frances and William are descended from Elizabeth Percifull and are therefore related to Elijah and other Lancaster County Percifulls, the Fauquier Fitzhughs have Percifull connections. As we work on the Fauquier Co Tapscott book, it is likely that we will find other Fitzhugh connections.

 The next blog will get back to the Holder line (I hope). Meanwhile, we have Fitzhughs in the family. Welcome aboard!

Fitzhughs in the Family

My Expertise (what little I have) is not with the Fitzhugh family, on which I have apparently spent very little time. (I didn't even remember the name.) Let me know of errors.
