Subject: [MER] Pughs from Merionethshire
Greetings to all,
I am surprised that I didn't discover this list before! I am researching
my
ancestor David Pugh who was born about 1650 and died by 1695 in
Llangelynnin
Parish, Merionethshire, Wales. He is believed to have had at least four
children: Lewis (my ancestor), David, Jr., Edward, and Elizabeth. Lewis
Pugh
and probably his brother David immigrated to Virginia in 1695. Lewis
appeared on records in Richmond County, Virginia by 1701. He had the
following children all born in Richmond County, Virginia: John b. 1704,
David b. 1706, Elizabeth b. 1707, Henry b. 1710, Willoughby b. 1711, Ann
b.
1715, and Lewis, Jr. b. 1717. Lewis returned to Wales to collect an
inheritance and died about 1740 in Dolgellau, Merionethshire, Wales.
I would like to know if there are any Pughs living in Merionethshire, at
this time, that are descendants of David Pugh b. 1650. We have a DNA
project
with the Family Tree DNA people and are trying to piece together
descendants
of Pughs that immigrated to America and link them with living Pughs who
live
in Wales and other parts of the world. As you probably know there was a
large Welsh settlement in Pennsylvania also some Pughs settled in Virginia
in colonial times. Descendants from these families now live in all parts
of
the world. We have people in our DNA group who also live in Canada,
Australia, and the U.S. If you are interested in learning more about this
DNA project, please contact me. Also, I would love to hear from others who
are descendants of my Pugh line from Merioneth or any other Pugh line that
emigrated from Wales.
Sincerely,
Daniela
