VIRGINIA BIOGRAPHY

627

Susan (Tebbs) Mooklar. wife of William Mooklar. aforementioned, was a descend- ant of Daniel Tebbs, Gentleman, who mar- ried a Miss Foushe, of France, of the fam- ily of Marshal Foushe. came from Eng- land in 1740 and settled in Westmoreland county, \irginia. (Paxton's Marshall Fam- ily). Daniel Tebbs was named executor in the wills of several persons in the "County Records of Westmoreland" and we infer from this that he was held in esteem by his contemporaries, and was no doubt versed in the law. In "Meade's Families and Churches of X'irginia" we find that Daniel Tebbs. of Washington parish. Westmore- land county, was a member of the first pub- lic association for resistance to the Stamp Act. The first meeting of this association was held February 27. 1766. Daniel Tebbs died sometime prior to 1782. as we find "Daniel Tebbs. est." in the list of West- moreland slave owners for that year. (This list is in the "Virginia Magazine of His- tory").

Foushee Tebbs. son of Daniel Tebbs, married a Miss Innisfall. of Scotland. (Pax- ton's Marshall Family). Foushee (spelled in this form in records of the house) Tebbs was sent to the house of burgesses from Prince \\'illiam county in 1766, and sat in that body until the session of 1774, when he resigned to become tobacco inspector. During the session of 1769, on May 16, the house adopted resolutions asserting colonial rights, and on the following day was dis- solved by the governor. Lord Botetourt, for so doing. "Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Burgesses. I have heard of your resolves, and augur ill of their effects. You have made it my duty to dissolve you. and you are dissolved accordingly." In the house at this session were George Washing- ton, of P'airfax county; Thomas Jefferson, of Albemarle county, and James Wood, of Prederick county, the latter an ancestor of the wife of Dr. Foushee O. Mooklar. (Rec- ord of House of Burgesses). Foushee Teljbs was a member of the association which in May, 1774, and August, 1774, adopted reso- lutions against the importation or purchase of British manufacturers. ( William and Mary Quarterly). Foushee Tebbs had two sons, Foushee C., of whom further, and Wil- liam.

Foushee C. Tebbs. son of Foushee Tebbs, married (first) Maria Baxter, sister-in-law

of Hugh Brent, and had two sons: Colonel W illoughby Tebbs. who married Elizabeth Carr. and Judge Samuel Tebbs, of Mason county, Kentucky, who married a Miss Tebbs. (Paxton's Marshall Family). Foushee C. Tebbs married (second) Janu- ary 17, 1799, Ann Ouarles, daughter of Cap- tain Henry Ouarles, of Paradise. Essex county. \'irginia. of whom further, and they had a daughter. Susan, who became the wife of William Mooklar. Foushee C. Tebbs is recorded as being from Richmond county (\'irginia Historical Magazine). Family tradition says that he served in the war of 181 2. and won the title of captain.

Captain Henry Ouarles received a bounty warrant which reads thus: "I certify that Henry Ouarles was a commissioned officer in the Continental army, and that while he held the commission in that army, he was appointed a captain in the State Artdlery, and served on the whole upwards of three years successively, and was not (can't de- cipher) or suspended. (Signed) George jMuter. Colonel State Artillery," and dated "Richmond, May 25, 1783." He received four thousand acres bounty land in 1783. He was a first lieutenant Fifteenth Virginia Regiment at Fort Pitt. February 12, 1777, and a commission was issued to Captain Henry Ouarles of the State Artillery the fifth of November. 1777.

Temple ^^'alker. father of Lucy Talia- ferro (Walker) Mooklar. was born in 1790, died in 1868. His ancestors came from Eng- land in 1652. located at Walkerton, King and Queen county, Virginia, and one of the descendants, Atwood Cluverius Walker, uncle of Foushee O. Mooklar, now resides on the original tract (Locust Grove) granted to the family by the King in 1652, the same never having passed out of the possession of the family. Temple Walker also resided on the ancestral estate, which he cultivated and improved. He was pre- siding magistrate for a number of years be- fore the war, also was high sheriff and county surveyor, having made a plat of King and Queen county which was burned when the northerners set fire to the Court House.
