2. 1850 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #3 of 160): Caswell Co., NC, Roll M432_623, p. 179A, 74/75, enumerated 20 Jul 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Mary is John's mother (she's almost certainly fibbing about her age). Frances, Elizabeth, Martha, and Margaret are John's unmarried sisters. Augustin and Pinckney are attributed to Frances.

A standard reading of this record would have P. and Wm. FUQUA the children of a prior marriage of John. But P. FUQUA is said to be John's nephew, Pinckney, son of his unmarried sister, Frances FUQUA, yet I find myself wondering if he isn't John's son by a prior marriage. And who is William? Is this the son of John's sister, Emeline FUQUA, enumerated a second time?
