Pickett's men in the charge at Gettysburg, died the Saturday before at the Frederick County home of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. James Hart, and was buried in Green Hill Cemetery. It says he lived in Clarke County until a few years before, farmed the county farm for years, and was born in Botetourt County on June 10, 1840. What the source supportsThat the Courier of July 20, 1922 reported Peter Fuqua, who farmed the Clarke County farm, dead at 82, and called him one of Gen. Pickett's men in the charge at Gettysburg. UncertaintyRead from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The body prints the surname "FuQua" and "Fuquqa." Its account of his war record is the paper's own. The item dates the death only as "last Saturday." He is not linked to the Wm. P. Fuqua of a January 1922 item. SourceEvidence role: supports. The July 20, 1922 obituary.

On p. 316, in a passage about the J. E. B. Stuart Camp, Gold's 1914 history says "A list of the members of the Camp from its formation is herein given"; the list printed on p. 317 includes the name "Peter Fuqua." What the source supportsThat a list Gold says is of the Camp's members includes the name Peter Fuqua. UncertaintyA membership list is not a service record and says nothing about where or how a member served. The list on p. 317 has no heading of its own: that it is the list of the J. E. B. Stuart Camp rests only on the p. 316 sentences, which name the Camp and then say the list follows. "U.C.V." is printed on neither page and is not claimed. Nothing on Gold's page says that the Peter Fuqua listed is the Peter Fuqua whom the Courier of July 20, 1922 reports dead (C666); the name is the only link. Each cited passage was read twice, the second time independently: first as a rendered page image of a digital reproduction (a 300 dpi render of the stated PDF page), then on a cropped image of the same page.
