Greetings,
We've been a quiet clan lately. I do hope that means everyone is at the
library! <G> I know a few of us are frantically trying to get our lives in
order and pack...
We have a new member who subbed tonight and I'm hoping to read the lineage
soon. I'm anxious to see which son or daughter is the ancestor.
Randall....I've a Evans-Pugh question for you or any other descendant of
Sarah Evans who m. Robert Pugh:
In January you wrote your lineage and I'm frantically (word of the week!
<G>) trying to get some leads on Robert Pugh with hopes of finding his
marriage to Sarah Evans in Wales. There are too many Robert ap Hughs in
the area and need to get some copy of your sources...hopefully primary
sources or well known ones, at least! <G> (If you can't email them to me,
try to send them to Roland who can bring them with him to Wales so I can
see them when I meet him...ok Roland?)
You state that Sarah and Robert came to America with two small daughter's
Mary and Ellin in 1698. Is this an assumption or have you found some
record showing the daughters born in Wales and with their parents upon
arrival? I'm hoping that this combination will help me find records of
them in Wales and single them out among all the others with similar names.
To find baptismal records, etc. of the daughters with parents listed could
be helpful in finding the locale of Robert Pugh and thus his parents.
Also, what leads you to belive that Evan Pugh, b. 1699 died either in
Frederick Co or Dunmore, (Shenandoah) Co, VA. Did you ever find out which?
I had no idea she ventured into this area.
I know that many families from Frederick Co, VA left the area periodically
to escape Indian troubles...many going to North Carolina...would this have
been the case for Evan?
Randall, did you ever find out more on the book: "The Robert Pugh Family
--One Branch of The Robert and Sarah Evans Pugh Family" compiled by Mary
Elizabeth Pugh and sister Margaret Louise Pugh Saville in 1985? I never
had a chance to follow up with all the remodeling we have been doing since
January.
Anyone else having Evans lines that could update the crew that is leaving
for Wales soon, please forward the data to the list. I know my goal is to
work on Evan ab Evan and his parents & siblings in Fron Goch as well as
Evan ap Robert ap Lewis' stay in Ysptty Ifan which was prior to Fron Goch.
Beth, if possible, I'll write you to post to the list or have a friend
forward an email to you. She is Charleen. You won't hear from us much as
I don't want to take great advantage of Keith's kindness to use his
computer--plus we won't be in Fron Goch the whole time. If we find a
cyberbar, you'll hear more.
Thanks again Ken and Beth for saving emails....
Best wishes,
Emily
