I know Pugh girls (and maybe some boys) I just know 2 Pugh girls married to
Wilson and Brown did go from Fountain Co IN to Iowa. (check Page Co). The
Pugh's came to IN from WVA (Hampshire Co and Wood Co).
I am anxious to learn more about these families too.

Hi, Cheryl,
I do know that a lot of people from Fountain County moved to Iowa
fairly early on, and of course there was a lot of toing and froing
across the Illinois line. I'll have a look at these names. I don't
remember a Brown but that means nothing!
