Captain Fouty came to Texas from Pike County, Illinois in 1844 with his mother and step-father, Mr. Eleazor Nash. At this time they settled in Red River County, but moved on to Pisgah Ridge in Navarro County in 1845. In 1849, Fouty and Mr. Nash went to the gold rush in California, not returning until 1859. On the trip to California, Fouty took a sword with him that he would later carry during the Civil War. This sword has the name of the maker engraved near the handle - "N. P. Ames, Cabotville, 1847." It is now in the possession of Captain Fouty's descendents in Navarro County. Capt.
