Brought up or “raised.” Decidedly rustic.
1848. “Where was you raised, old feller?”… “Raised!” “Yes, raised—fotched up. You was fotched up somewhere, I reckon.”—W. E. Burton, ‘Waggeries,’ p. 88 (Phila.).
1852. I was fotched up right in among ’em, and taught some of the best of ’em how to shoot and trap.—H. C. Watson, ‘Nights in a Block-house,’ p. 30 (Phila.).
[See TOTE, 1825, where fotch is styled a niggerism.]
