  Father	Leonard Fouts,   b. 1779/1780, PA d. Nov 1849, Murray Co, GA (Age 69 years)
  Mother	Sarah,   b. 1784/1785, NC d. Aft 1850, Murray Co, GA (Age > 66 years)
  Marriage	1800/1810	Ashe Co, NC
  Notes	!NOTES:Leonard Fouts died in 1849 in Murray Co., GA. He was listed as married. The 1850 census shows Sarah Fouts, an apparent widow. She is probably his widow, though that isn't proven, but it seems very likely. !CHILDREN:The 1810 and 1830 census show several children for Leonard Fouts. Unfortunately he is missing in 1820 and 1840 which makes census analysis difficult. No primary record has been found yet that names any of his children. However, I believe that Solomon and Noah are certainly his as they were both in Murray Co., GA when he was, and they were neighbors to widow Sarah Fouts in 1850. Sons: 1. Unknown son c1800/10. Home in 1810 (0-9). x in 1820. Home in 1830 (20-29). x in 1840. This is probably Solomon Fouts (c1805) who was next to Sarah in 1850. 2. Unknown son c1800/10. Home in 1810 (0-9). x in 1820. Home in 1830 (20-29). x in 1840. This is possibly John P. Fouts (c1809) who was in Ashe Co., NC in 1840 and Gilmer Co., GA in 1850. I have no direct proof that he is Leonard's son, but he was associated with Jacob Fouts (c1786) family, so definitely part of the same extended Fouts family. 3. Unknown son c1815/20. x in 1820. Home in 1830 (10-14). x in 1840. 4. Unknown son c1820/25. Home in 1830 (5-9). x in 1840. This is probably Noah Fouts (c1825) who was next to Sarah in 1850. Daughters: 1. Unknown daughter c1800/10. Home in 1810 (0-9). x in 1820. x in 1830. x in 1840. 2. Unknown daughter c1810/15. x in 1820. Home in 1830 (15-19). x in 1840. 3. Unknown daughter c1810/15. x in 1820. Home in 1830 (15-19). x in 1840. 4. Unknown daughter c1815/20. x in 1820. Home in 1830 (10-14). x in 1840. This could be Sarah Johnson (c1819 NC) who was with widow Sarah Fouts in 1850, but I don't know if Sarah Johnson was a Fouts by birth, and a widow Johnson by 1850.

• Notes

  !NOTES:John P. Fouts is either a son of Joseph or Leonard. I'm putting him in Leonard's family for now, but that could be wrong, however census analysis suggests he is Leonard's son. John P. lived in Gilmer Co., GA where some of Jacob Fouts' children later moved and lived in the exact same section. Some of Jacobs and Johns offspring married into the same Henderson family suggesting a close relationship. Jacob would be John's uncle most likely; !CENSUS:1810 * Ashe Co, NC pg 69 w/L.
