David N. Fuquay

    David N. Fuquay, a descendant of one of the first pioneer families of this locality, was born in Warrick County, Indiana, June 30, 1843. John Fuquay, his father, was born September 9, 1808, in Bullitt County, Kentucky, and about the year 1817, in company with his parents, came to Warrick County, Indiana. Being the eldest of the children, he took charge of the family after his parent's death, and cared for them until they became old enough to do for themselves. On Christmas day, 1838, he untied in matrimony with Mrs. Calista (Castle) Bostwich, a native of Oneida County, New York, and to their union were born five children, the subject of our sketch being the second.

    He remained at home until twenty-three years of age, receiving only such education as was commonly afforded. May 27, 1866, he united in marriage with Mary J. Marts, and Orilla L. and Daniel N. are the names of their two children. Mr. Fuquay enlisted May 7, 1864, in Company I, One Hundred and Thirty-sixth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, serving until he was honorably discharged at Indianapolis. He is one of the thorough-going and enterprising farmers of the county, is a member of the G. A. R., and is a Republican in politics.
