Dear Reader:
Due to illness and an operation this spring and summer I have been unable to complete this work in time to proof read it and get it to you by August as I promised I would, therefore you are going to find errors, most of which I hope will be typographical. Later I will make necessary corrections and send them on to you.
If you find an incomplete page or an error in records please write me, giving the page number and/or error and I will forward a new one to you. And of course any new data will be greatly appreciated as I plan to go on with my research, now that I have my material organized. There is much more to be had in the way of deeds, wills, old letters, etc. However, that takes time. When I do have something new would you like to have it added to your book?
I hope you enjoy this work as much as I have its compilation, and I sincerely hope also that where your records may seem to stand out alone and be incomplete, I will be able one day to add more to it for you.
Let me know when you have received this book just in case it may get lost in the mail.
Sincerely yours,

In 1940, when I first began collecting data for a history of the Baughn family, I had only the names of the 14 children of Henry and Patsy, nee Whitlow, Baughn, who were the uncles and aunts of my grandfather, Richard A1exander Baughn. Only two of these children, William
(known as Billie) and Stratton, had remained in Rockingham County, North Carolina. The others migrated to other counties or states.
Our first reunion, in 1940, consisted of the descendants of these two brothers, and I believe that most of us thought that we were just about all to the family. Through correspondence I have found Baughns in other states who thought the same thing about their own family.
At this first reunion one of our cousin Baughns from Chattanooga, Tennessee, remembered having once met a salesman from Savannah, Geor-gia, by the name of Baughn, and Charlie P Baughn of Mayodan, N.C. remembered that in 1926 he had received letters from a Miss Howatt of Washington Court House, Ohio, requesting information about the Baughns of Rockingham County. Through these letters I was able to contact Miss Golda Baughn of that city and she has furnished data concerning her family which was later supplemented by Miss Howatt, now Mrs Max Dice, an experienced genealogist.
Cousin Baughn, of Chattanooga wrote to the Chamber of Commerce in Savannah and obtained a list of Baughn names and addresses which he forwarded on to me. Mrs Sallie (Baughn) McEllinn was the first to respond to my letters, and she gave the history of their family traced back to Patrick Weston Baughn, one of the fourteen children of Henry and Patsy (Whitlow) Baughn. Later others filled in birth-dates and so on until we have a fairly compositive record of that branch of the family.
Those Savannah Baughns are lovable people and we look forward to seeing them again each August. And so began the collection of data for these records of a family.
Through Correspondence, I have found throughout the United States, several other lines of this family but do have the connecting links. Yet, there must be such connections, because all tradition regarding their coming to America points to a common origin. Some have kept very good records, others have been concerned only with their immediate family, and so we have the breaks in the relationship of the various branches.
In the early years of this country, every family had its favorite sons and daughters, and most families had a so called black sheep, though in most cases, not as black as he or she may have been painted. Be that as it may, in a record of this kind, the ‘blackness’ is left out, for whether a black sheep or a favorite son, the blood relation is not altered be it ever so small.
In the Bible the Book of Genesis, refers to the fourth and fifth generation. In the Book of Ezra, 2:62, Genealogy was important, for those who could not find their register and so prove their descent from Abraham were not to accompany the people who were returning to Jerusalem from their Babylonian captivity.
For a genealogical record of any family to be easily read, it is necessary that some kind of system of numbering be used, and the simpler that system is the better. In my search for data, I have read many such histories, and for me The Genealogy of the Presidents of the United States was the easiest to follow. Therefore I am adopting that method and will put this work in loose leaf form so that any new information may be added near its proper place from time to time. Each leaf will be numbered as 1, 1a, 1b; 2, 2a, and so on.
In order to make it as easy as possible to trace one certain line back through the history, each digit or letter re-presents a separate generation. For example, my grandfather is 3217. The 7 represents grandfather, the '1' his father, is Wm. R. Baughn in 321, and ‘2’ is father of William, Henry Baughn (32) with whom this particu1ar branch of the family begins. Although I have used the digit '3' to represent Henry's father, I do not have documentary proof that he was Aristapus, but the indications that he was are very strong. Whenever a double number is necessary to show more than nine children, the latter ‘a’ will stand for ‘0’, ‘b’ for ‘1’, and so on. Thus ten would be 1a and 11 shown as 1b.
Assuming that Henry Baughan, who married in Campbell Coun-ty, Virginia, in 1805, Patsey Whitlow of that county is the son of Arris Baughan, whose will was probated 1786 in the same county -- and that he is one and the same as Aristapus Boughan (1113), I have started our North Carolina family with number 31 for James, and number 32 for Henry, and have 33 and 34 for any brother or sister that we may find later. Consequently the Ohio family starts with the number five.
For the sake of easier reference in our family, I have list-ed all of the fourteen children of Henry and Patsy Baughan on one page. From there I have followed through to the present generation of each separate line before beginning with another one.
Data on other families will be as written to me and under the name of the writer, with the exception that I have rearranged it according to the above form.
I wish to thank here each person for his or her help in this work, and I hope that in the future these records may be made more complete.
Under miscellaneous items are the odd and unconnected notes that I have found in the research of the various books on Vir-ginia records available to me in the Baltimore and Congressional Libraries.

BAUGHN
HERALDIC BLAZON OF THE COAT OF ARMS
OF THE BAUGHN FAMILY
SHIELD: Or (gold) upon a fesse (broad horizontal stripe) sable (black) between three wolves heads couped (cut off) of the second (i.e. black) three horseshoes argent (silver) pointed alternately up and down.
CREST: An arm couped at the shoulder fesseways (horizon-tally) habited (dressed) or (gold) garnished (decorated) sable (black) the hand grasping a dagger point upward (natural color) supporting a wolf's head as in the arms.
MANTLING: Or (gold) and vert (green).
SUPPORTERS: Two lions rampant (fighting position) proper (natural color) semee' of plated (dotted with silver coins).
DEVICE: Virtus ot Propositi Tenax.
(Latin: “Hold to Bravery and Convictions”)
EXPLANATION OF THE COAT OF ARMS
In heraldry gold is the moral denoting strength, authority, and wealth; black signifies sorrow, sin, mourning and dignity; silver denotes purity, eloquence, virginity, and innocence; while green refers to a religious temperament, eternity, over-lasting life and fecundity.
The fesse or broad horizontal band across the middle of the shield is called an honorable ordinary, which simply means one of the honorable charges most ordinarily used. It is a mark of noble blood and knighthood and takes its shape from the sword belt of the knight.
The horseshoe is the symbol of the knight (in German knecht or cniht). The alternate up and down pattern denotes that the knight is ready for either offense or defense.
The arm represents force and the dagger power through force of arms.
The wolves' heads in the Baughn arms may have one of three different interpretations. One would have to delve very deep-ly and minutely into the family history to attempt to ascertain which applies.
1)- In the first place in ancient records there is a reference to a "Lupus" Baughn who seems to have been a kind of "robber baron" in the 13th century. The word for wolf in Latin (much used in those days in proper names) was Lupus. The wolves upon the escutcheon may have reference to this person and there-by constitute a canting. A canting is a heraldic pun or play upon the name. In as much as the employment of family surnames and family coats of arms came into use at about the same time (circa 900) we frequently find families taking their surnames from charges upon their arms, of placing bearing upon their arms which refer directly or indirectly to their surnames. Thus we have a Moor’s head upon the Moore arms; a fox upon the shield of the Foxxe family; three apples upon the Appleton arms and a stand of trees upon the Woodside arms. Cases of this kind are too numerous to mention; however, the one thing that they all have in common is that they are a very ancient grant of arms.
2)- The wolf was the largest and fiercest animal known in Western Europe. He was therefore sometimes adopted into Teutonic heraldry as a symbol of power and bravery, much as was the Brit-ish lion. The Teutons were always more "practical" in their heraldry.
The wolf in various positions or the wolf’s head is a fairly common charge of Teutonic heraldry.
3)- Since earliest recorded history in Western and Central Europe and later in Scandinavian countries and Britain the wolf’s head has been the symbol of the outlaw. While later this term ‘outlaw’ (and thereby “wolf’s head”) came to mean a simple rob-ber or bandit, initially it signified one who held out against the established order, whatever it was. The old robber barons were called "wolves head”.
When German Protestants in the Pfaltz or Palatinate joined Luther as against the Catholic Church, they were called "wolves’ heads", by the Pope. Charlemagne called one of his sons who rebelled a “wolf’s head”.
It may have been that the Boughns were called "wolves’ heads" for some rebellion against state or church, or it may just as well have been that they were charged by state or church with suppressing outlaws. The only thing certain is that a wolf’s head "couped" means a dead one.
The name Baughn or Baughan is of definite Old German, pos-sibly Frankish, origin. The spelling is immaterial down to certain point, for up until the past 300 years there was no such thing as "spelling" as we know it today. One spelled a name or a word as it presently suited him.
In Old German the name signifies “a builder”.
The mantling or decorative matter around the shield has no especial shape. This is left to the taste and discretion of the artist. The only heraldic rule as to the Mantle (also sometimes called a lambrequin) in British arms, was that it must be in the livery colors of the shield; i.e. the two first metals, furs, or colors mentioned in the blazon. In German and some Continental arms this rule sometimes varied but where there was a variation, it is always so set forth in the blazon with the specific colors of the mantling given, as is the case with the Baughn arms.
The mantle takes its name from a cloak or mantle which the mounted knight wore suspended from his helmet. This was to protect him, encased as he was in metal, from the summer’s hot sun rays or the winter’s snows which could have fairly cooled or frozen him as the case might have been. This mantle would become cut and slashed in combat and the knight was very proud of these rents. He usually had them patched in contrasting colors to make them more noticeable.

1 JAMES BOUGHAN married Thomasie ________ ?
died before l703.
he received a grant of 250 acres land in old Rappahannock County, Virginia, on June 9, 1658, adjoining a tract of land surveyed for Samuel Parry or Perry. Parry’s grant had been issued Feb. 7, 1652 for 1250 acres in Lancaster County, on the south side of Pascation Creek. In 1663, James Boughan mortgaged his cattle and tobacco crop to Andrew Gilson, and in 1668 he sold 100 acres to Thomas Troth or Troath.
A Widow Baughan and James Baughan are mentioned in a land grant in Rappahannock County dated Oct. 21, 1687, to William Leake and others. Member of this Leake family migrated to Leaksville, North Carolina at a later date. This grant of land was on the south east side of a branch called Claypatch Branch, and adjoined that land of Widow and James Baughan and Perry’s land. (see Leake land grant)
James and Thomasie Baughan had three (iii) known children:
11 HENRY BAUGHAN, died between 1731 and 1738. He was married twice, his first wife unknown, his second, was Sarah, maiden name unknown. (It may have been Edmondson) He wrote his will Jan 20, 1731 which was proved in Essex County, Va., May 16, 1738. At this date he had children who were still young by his second marriage. (iv)
111. Capt. James Boughan, sheriff in Essex County, Va., 1734; Will dated Nov. 28, 1748; proved in Essex County March 21, 1748 (1749 present style). His executors were his wife Mary, and Thomas Barker who had married his sister, Ann Boughan. He married Mary Tyler, daughter of Richard and Susanna Tyler of Essex County. (Richard Tyler’s will proved May 21, 1734; dated Dec. 4, 1732.) iii
1111 James Boughan
1112 Susannah Boughan, married Thomas Croxton.
11121 Mary Croxton, married James Stodghill.
111211 Thomas Stodghi1l, married Nancy She1burne. They went to Shelby County, Ky., about 1810.
1112111. Jane Stodghill married Squire Dooley and moved to Boone County, Indiana, about 1836.
11121111. a daughter married _____ Stevenson.
111211111 Kenyon Stevenson, the correspondent, who gave me this information and also supplied the above named wills.
1113. Aristipus Boughan
The 1767 tax lists of Pittsylvania shows the name Arestripes Baghan as a tithe with William Candler and a negro slave, Chester, on the list of Archibald Gordon. This is list is printed in the Virginia Magazine of History, Vo1 24, page 184; also in Clements History of Pittsylvania County, page 281.This reference proves that Aristipus Boughan had gone from Essex County and
2
settled in Pittsylvania County by 1767. The difference in spelling of the name could be due to the lack of education on the part of the person who recorded these things by longhand, or due to phonetic spell-ing, since at that time, there was no dictionaries for spelling.
Essex Deed Book 27, page 200 shows that on November 29, 1755, Aristapus was a witness to a deed given by Heaekiah Brown and his wife Sally, to Sam-uel Croxton. Thus we can see that Aristapus re-mained in Essex County at least 6 years after his father’s will was probated on March 21, 1749, but that before another 12 years he had gone “west” to settle in Pittsylvania County, which in 1767 was wild frontier country. It was only a step, so to speak, for him to move on to Bedford County, which in 1781, became Campbell County, and there to make his will and die in 1786. He was probably born during the 1720s, and so only in his 60s when he died. (See will of Aris Boughan, 1786.)
Records in Campbell County, Virginia, show that Aris Baughan left a will probated in 1786 naming sons, Henry and James, his wife, living but not named, and minor children; also a deed dated 1807, in which James and Henry Baughan sold land. The problem is, are James and Henry of the 1807 deed the same as those named in the 1786 will, and, if so, is this Henry the same as the one who married Patsy Whitlow in 1805. Documentary proof these conjectures would establish the North Carolina branch of the family back to the land grant to James Boughan in 1658.
One note of interest is that Patrick Weston Baughn, son of Henry and Patsy Baughan, who settled in Savannah, Georgia, had a son named Ariss or Arris who was killed when he was young. Patrick was the progenitor of a large family of Baughns in Savannah who are cousins of the North Carolina family.
112. Henry Boughan
113. Ann Boughan, married Thomas Barker.
114. a daughter who married Wm. Harper.
115. a daughter who married John Ball
12. John Boughan, will 1697, named wife Mary ______.
13. James Boughan, called Major James Boughan. He was a prominent citizen of Virginia and a member of the House of Burgess from Essex County.

NORTH CAROLINA
This record began with the names of 14 children of one Henry Baughn as given to my mother by her father, Richard Alexander Baughn. A casual study of records in the Court House at Wentworth, Rockingham County, North Carolina shows that during the first few years of the 1800’s there were two Henry Baughan’s who were no doubt of the same generation. Both migrated to North Carolina from Virginia, and at least one of them as early as 1797.
One of these Henry’s married Elizabeth Wall in Culpepper County, Virginia, and about 1811 moved from North Carolina to Ohio where he was the progenitor of the family in Wash-ington Court House. Henry, the ancestor of the North Caro-lina branch of the family, is buried in the old family graveyard on Mayo Mt, east of Mayodan, North Carolina. This Mount was sometimes known as Baughns Mt and is now called Cedar Mt.
The deed for the land on Mayo Mountain, where Henry and Patsy (Whitlow) Baughn built their home is dated 1813 or 14 and is recorded in the Rockingham County Court House at Wentworth.
This Henry was a representative for Rockingham County in the North Carolina State Legislature in 1819 and a senator in 1825. (ref. Year book for N. C. 1913) in 1845 he was given a tract of land in Madison, North Carolina, on which he built and opened what was then known as Baughn’s School or The Old Male Academy. The deed named him president of the board of trustees and is also recorded at Wentworth.
Buried with this Henry in the old graveyard is his wife and a daughter, Rachel, who died young.
Also buried in this old graveyard was a Charles Walker and several others. There are no longer any markers of the various graves some having been removed some years ago by neighbors for building purposes. This old cemetery is located just back of the Arthur Nichols home Route 1, Stoneville N.C.
This farm was originally owned by Richard A Baughn, grandson of the above named Henry, whose home was built on the same site as that of Mr Watt Brown of an adjoining farm. William, father of Richard and son of Henry, built his home on a knoll on the opposite side of the road about half way between the homes of Henry and Richard. It was destroyed by fire.
Henry Baughan (the second ‘a’ in the name was later dropped) married Patsy Whitlow of near Lynchburg, Virginia. Their marriage as issued in Campbell County follows:
A contract of Marriage Being Agreed on By and Between Henry Baughan of the one part and Patsey Whitlow of the other part Boath of this County and Boath of Lawfull age you are hereby desired to grant and to issue License for the inter Marriage of the said two.

___________ Hospital
May 31, 1864
Dear Uncle
It is with greatest of pleasure that I seat myself to drop you a few lines which will inform you that I am well as far as health is concerned and my wound is nearly well. I hope this will find you and Aunt Hannah in good health. Monk, I am a little excited this morning. The Big Ball has opened again. They are seven miles of this place. I can hear the guns very plain. It is who will and who shall this time, but Uncle Bob Lee shall I think. I tell you, Monk, this ain’t huntin of Rab-bits Monk, I fought eight days before I got wounded and I killed two of the Yanks, I know I did for I saw them fall. That was twenty yards of me, some closer than I wanted them to be, but I stood up to them like a man. I want this fuss to stop for I am getting tired of it and I think they will end it this time. If we can whip them this time they will let us alone and you will see it too. Monk, they had just as well try to fly as to whip us for I believe that God is helping of us and if it --
they cain’t whip us. We will fight them until the last day. We will be a free nation or we will dy. All of the sol-diers are in the best of spirits you ever saw but they are most wore out. I will go to the front and help them in a few days. I can't stay here when I know they need help. May God be with me in the time of conflict and turn the bullit from my flesh and bring me through all of them and send me home to you all soon. I can say I fought and helped win the victory, then we have our independence our rights that is all we want. They are trying to take them away from us, they never never can do it – “
Here the letter ended.

As you see, by the above document, Henry taught school as did his grandfather. In my correspondence with other members of the Baughn family, I have found a number of teachers.
The reference to Uncle Bob Lee in the letter above revived the memory of a visit of General Lee to the home of William R Baughn (321) one night while his army - which was on its march to Virginia - was bivouaced just behind the Old Clay Martin home between Cedar (Mayo or Baughns) Mt and Stoneville, North Carolina. It has been said that General Lee was a cousin of Betsy Hopper Baughn.

Robert Wall (1763) and Fannie Parsons were married in Culpepper County, Virginia, 1748, He was son of Zachariah Wall, born 1741; married 1760 Anne Everett, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Everett, both of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. Zachariah was son of Robert Wall of the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Elizabeth Wall, who married Henry Baughan and with him went to Ohio in 1811 was daughter of Zachariah and Anne (Everett) Wall.
Nancy G Wall had a sister - Fannie- who married William Hege and a brother Joshua who married 1st, Caroline Hege, 2nd, Susan Crites. The Wall family of Dan Valley Community, Rockingham County, N.C., are descendants of this 1st. marriage.
William, John, and Caroline Hege were brothers and sis-ter, as were Fannie, Nancy G., and Joshua Wall. The spelling ‘Hege’ is taken from the Wall History and at the present time is spelled ‘Heggie’.
Throughout the Wall history Joshua and Elizabeth Smith are named as parents of children who intermarried with the Wall family. Recorded in the Wentworth Court House is the marriage of William Walker Baughn, son of Patrick Weston Baughn (323) to Elizabeth D Smith, daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth Smith, dated October 3 1871.
Lack of information concerning Joshua and Elizabeth Smith, as well as birth-dates etc., make it difficult to determine whether or not Elizabeth D, wife of W W Baughn was daughter of the same Joshua and Elizabeth named in the Wall history or of a younger Joshua and Elizabeth.

Here we have in the same generation two Henry Whittler Baughns, the first being the grandson of William Baughn (321) of Rockingham County, N.C.
This family, descendants of Patrick Weston Baughn grew up in Savannah, Georgia, with only memories of visits of three or four of its members to relatives in North Carolina in 1906 and 1910. Nevertheless, when Jean Baughn Brewer attended the reunion in 1942 she noticed immediately the likeness of her own father to that of a portrait of Richard Alexander Baughan, father of Blanche Baughn Barker.
The name, Whittler, is no doubt a variant spelling of Whitlow.

323353 Nicholas John Brewer Jr, born July 17 1929;married March 15 1953 Miriam Eulane McCook, daughter of Mr and Mrs Daniel Oscar McCook of Macon, Georgia. Miriam was graduated from The A L Miller High School and
17
received her AB Degree from Mercer University in June 1953. She is connected with the Hardman Library of Mercer University and a member of the Chi Omega Sorority.
Nich Jr graduated from the Savannah High School and began studying for the Presbyterian Ministry. He attended Armstrong College, and Mercer University from which he obtained his AB Degree, then entered Columbia Seminary in Decatur. He is a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity and is connected with the Winchester Engineering Company and a member of the Macon Junior Chamber of Commerce.
The following is an article from a Savannah paper written when Nich was a boy of 13.
“Age, or lack of it, shouldn’t keep anyone from pitching in to help Uncle Sam, believes 13-year-old N J Brewer Jr., youngest graduate of the Civilian defense School’s general course.
Young Brewer received a card certifying that he had completed the course after he had attended all class-es ,along with his father, N J Brewer, Sr., who is mechanic foreman of the police department.
For several years now he has tagged along in his father's footsteps in the police department garage during almost all of his out-of-school hours, learning to take police cars apart and put them together a-gain. So when the rest of the force was ordered to attend the school young Nick went along.
Recently, he was dubbed "The Ice Cream Mechanic" by policemen, because of a natural capacity for mechanical work and a super capacity for ice cream cones.

3235 Charles Frederick Baughn, born August 23 1860; died June 2 1945; age 85 years. He married Rebecca Ann Crovat who died May 13 1942. -v-
For many years Charles was an engineer of the Atlantic Coast Line RR. During the last few years of his life, he was an inva1id 1iving with his daughter, Marie Cov-eney, and Sallie McEllinn, his other daughter, went every day to dress his side and perform the many other duties necessary during an illness. Both daughters were devoted to him until his death.
He visited El1en Stone Fagge and Richard A Baughn in North Carolina in 1910. This was the last known contact between the two families until 1940 when Sally answered my letter written to her father as a result of a conversation with Cousin Ellen in which she told me about the 1910 visit. Since then, with the excep-tion of the war years, some of them have attended the reunion each year.
In 1943 I visited Savannah, and it was Charles who told me the story about Martha Walker Baughn’s mother who owned a buggy horse named “Sally” to which she was so attached that when Gen. Sherman and some of his men stopped at her home on one of his raids through the south, she clung to ‘Sally’s’ mane and kicked and fought the soldiers so vigourously, that one of the officers ordered that she be permitted to keep 'Sally.'

32355 Sidney Eugene Baughn, born September 19 1898; mar-ried Willie Mae Coward August 17 1919.
He is a Captain on the Savannah Police Force. The following is taken from a Savannah paper.
“Sidney Eugene Baughn was born in Savannah Septem-ber 19, 1898. He was first employed here, as an electrician and joined the police force in December 1921, after service overseas during World War I with the Sixty-first Coast Artillery.
He pounded a beat for only a couple of years before he proved his mettle and made a detective. There followed nearly 15 years of the characteristic ups and downs experienced by a career policeman in the old Savannah department. That Captain Baughn had the stamina to withstand the physical, mental and -yes- spiritual ordeals visited upon the city's public servants in those days is tribute enough to his rugged endurance. Today he is the o1dest man, in point of service, of uniformed rank on the force.
A highpoint in his career came in 1928. He and Lt. L P Morgan came upon a Negro in the act of holding up a street car at dawn, at Park Avenue and Abercorn St, the negro took a shot at Lt. Morgan and in the next instant was
20
killed by the shot from Sidney Baughn' s pistol.
He as awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for that. It was one of the three times he was forced to kill another man in the performance of his duty. In another case he cornered a burglar, alone, in 1933 and killed him after an exchange of gunfire.
The police committee of City Council awarded him the Meritorious Service Medal for that, too, but he was still to wait four years for promotion to Lieutenant.
Before he was given his bars, he was placed in charge of installation of the department's two way radio sys-tem because of his training as an electrician. So thoroughly did he do his job, that most of the equip-ment he put in is still in use. When he completed the task, Savannah had the first efficient two-way radio system of any police department in the South.
Finally, in 1937 -- 13 years ago -- he became lieutenant. He was a relief commander for about four years and then became the department’s executive officer, the position he has held ever since. He is in charge of all depart-mental equipment.
Because he has served in all ranks through the years and knows intimately all of the problems of both the man in uniform and the detective, not many members of the department try to mislead him. If they do, they usually live to regret it.
Like an army colonel who has come up from the ranks he imposes a discipline on the men that is as consid-erate as it is adamant. He’s well known for his sharp tongue but only the inverterate offender fails to learn that his gruff exterior has a soft underlining colored by a basic sense of humor.
One of his numerous tasks is making the monetary ap-propriation for equipment cover everything it is sup-posed to. This can be exasperating in the extreme in a 24-hours-a-day seven-days-a-week operation like the police department. For many an officer the threat of having to face Sidney Baughn's stern visage as he listens to an explanation for a crumpled fender on a police car is far worse than having to stand formal trial for dereliction of duty. Still, he has a repu-tation for being fair, too -- a factor partly responsible for the respect with which he is regarded.
Like other career officers, Captain Baughn takes his work seriously and has little time for outside inter-ests. He is a member of Chatham County Post No. 36 of the American Legion, but seldom attends a meeting. ‘I usually make the Christmas party every year’ he says – adding a grin, ‘I guess I’m what you would call a Christmas Veteran.’
He’s not an ideal subject for an interview, because his reticence about
21
discussing his career is almost painful. He sweeps away the years with a careless gesture of his hand just as though they were not filled with the color and action and achievement.
Captain Baughn resides at 530 East Thirty-ninth Street with his wife, Willie. They have no children.
3236 Richard Woodson Baughn married Bessie Bender -i-
32361 Charles Graham Baughn, deceased.
3237 Arris Baughn, killed when thrown from a horse at the age of 21 years.
note: It is this name, Arris, that, in my opinion, indicates a relationship of our ancestor, Henry Baughn (32) to Aris Baughn, who left his will in Campbell County, Virginia, in 1786, naming sons Henry and James. What would be unusual about a man’s son being named for his own grandfather?

324 Richard W Baughn, born January 9 1826; died February 8 1905; married Jennie Walker, born March 20 1841; died August 25 1883. She was sister of Martha Walker who married Patrick Weston Baughn.(323) ix--
note : I would be very much interested in knowing who the parents of these Walker sisters were. Other members of this family as taken from the family Bible of Sallie McEllinn were as follows:
Charles Walker, died April 29 1865. There is a Charlie Walker buried in the old Baughn cemetery located on the Arthur Nichols farm, Route 1, Stoneville, N.C. I wonder if these would be the same person.
William Walker died July 17 1865
Elizabeth Walker died December 30 1871
James Walker died August 11 1876
Richard Baughn and his family moved to Texas in 1881. Old letters suggest that Richard A. (3217) also con-sidered going to Texas about the time that his daughter, Jessie, died.
3241 Buck Baughn, born September 19 1862; died August 16 1886; married Ellen Williams and later moved to Cali-fornia, -ii-
There are several different branches of the Baughn family in California, but at this time I have not been successful in locating Buck’s family.

The following letter was written by Millie Baughn to May Baughn now living at Carthage, N.C.
Fair, Okla
April 26, 1904
Miss May Baughn
Stoneville, N.C.
My dear Niece,
Your unexpected but very welcome letter came to hand all right and you can't imagine how much good it did me to get so much news from my old home and so many of my relatives. Glad to know that you still love and remember me and hope this will not be your last letter for it wont cost you much effort to give me so much pleasure. I live with Carrie while brother Dick has Sallie to keep house for him and her hus-band works his farm.
24
Sallie has two girls and three boys living and one girl and two boys dead. Jule lives in Honey Grove, Texas, and has three children. Dixie lives at Direct and has one child. Charlie lives in Paris, Texas and has one little girl. Buck's widow had two boys when he died. She has since moved to Oregon and married. We are all well and have had good health since coming to Okla. Forgot to say that Pattie who married Frank Fagg died two years ago and her boy is living here with Carrie. Frank works at the gin business down in Texas but comes up occasionally to see his boy. This part of Oklahoma is about 180 miles N.W. of where we lived in Texas and 55 miles N E from Wichita Falls, Texas. Our nearest RR is the C R & P that runs due north out of Texas right along the west side of the Chickasaw Nation. We are 12 miles S W of Duncan and 10 miles N W from Comanche I.T. We were in a rich country in Texas but it was not near so healthy as it is here. They had more rain there but the water was not near so plentiful nor half so good as it is here. The water is fine and cool here and nearer like N C water than I have seen anywhere else. Corn does not seem to do well here except in creek bottoms. Wheat and cotton both do well and mellons do as well as I ever saw. Gardens do do well when we do not have too much wind. This spring has been very windy and Carrie has her garden on a sandy spot near the creek that blows so bad when there is a hard wind that it has almost ruined it. The first winter we were here it rained a great deal but has not rained much since. This is mostly a dark or dark red rolling praire country some creeks running through it. Post oakswoods sets in a mile east of us and extends away a 100 or more miles east so we have no trouble about fire wood. Most people use stoves so it does not take so much wood. There is no free land out here but there will be 480,000 acres government land sold some time this year to the highest bidder (sealed bids I expect) and I do not think it will be high possibly from $l.25 to $5.00 pr acre. Some of it is fine land. It will be sold in l/4 sections (160 acres) and only to people who will live on it. Those who buy will have to pay 1/5 down and balance in five equal annual payments which makes it very easy for anyone to get a home. There will soon (in a year or two) be thousands of homes for sale in the Chickasaw and Chocktaw Nations and much of it is fine land. Im-proved homes here in Comanche County are selling at three to four thousand dollars. There are very few renters here and but few hired hands. Tis hard to get hands to pick cotton and they can get almost their own price for picking. Grain is cut altogether by harvesters either by self binders or headers. Tell Tom that I think most any honest industrious young man can soon own a home here if he is willing to save up his earnings. It might be best for Tom to come and look at the country and try it a year so as to see how he likes it; for it might not suit him like it does us. What has become of Nannie Heggie? Is she still living? Also Pat Gallahar? Tell your papa
25
that we would be glad for him to move out here and live near us. I have not been sick a day since we came here (June 12 1902). Bro. Dick has had some chills that he contracted in Tex. but is as hearty and jolly now as you please. He just got back home a few days ago from a visit to Hattie at Wichita Falls and an old friend 16 miles beyond there. Came back in a buggy and did not complain of being tired. He is near 78 years old but seems to look as
young as he did 20 years ago. He does no work now though. With much love to you all and any of my old friends I remain your aunt
Millie Baughn
On the back of the above letter, Carrie, daughter of Bro. Dick, wrote -- May, Pa wants me to write to Uncle Dick for him so will write on back of yours as envelope is too small for more sheets. We were so proud of your letter.
Your Cousin, Carrie.
Mr R A Baughn:
My dear Nephew,
In receiving May’s letter all recollections of old home and loved ones come before me so plain I must write some too. Dick I would be Glad for you to make a move and get your children out in this new country.
From what Hannah writes things must be gloomy there for young people in the future.
This is a fine country and the healthiest country I ever saw since leaving N.C. There cannot possibly be much chance there in that old country for young people to ever do much. Wages here when there's any hands needed are from $15 to $20.00 per month and cotton picking from 75cts to $1.00 and as high as $1.50 per l00. Think you could do well here.
Let us hear from you again soon.
Your Uncle,

DATA CONTAINED IN A LETTER RECEIVED FROM
LUCILLE BAUGHN CLARK OF MINERAL WELLS TEXAS
According to tradition as handed down from father to son our family originated in Wales. Four brothers came from there to Virginia. One, whose name has been forgotten, was the father of the following children:
x name forgotten. -vi-
a _____________
b _____________
c _____________
x1 John Baughn, possibly born about 1780. -iii- He taught school for about 40 years, was elected to the legislature, and was collector of Internal Revenue for the U S Gov. for one term.
x11 Silas M Baughn, possibly born about 1806 and married about 1831, Mary Elizabeth Garter (or Carter) of Amelia County, Virginia. He left Virginia in 1832 and went to North Carolina, then in the latter part of 1833 he visit-ed his uncle, Joseph Baughn of Lexington, Oglethorpe Co., Ga.
While he was there, he and a cousin went squirrel hunt-ing one evening, and the cousin was bitten by a rattle snake and died before sundown. He also stood draft for the Indian War while he was in Georgia but was not drawn.
All the women and children were moved to the court house for protection against the Indians. Silas had evidently arrived in Georgia before November 1833, for he witnessed the greatest falling of the stars while there.
On account of the Indian Wars, he returned to Haw Ridge, N.C., where his wife died in 1839. He then returned to Cumberland County, Va., where he had formerly lived and where G. C. Baughn (xlll) was born. This was the home of Warren L Baughn(x2) who was then dead. Silas M had two small children with him when he returned to Virginia.

x6 William Baughn, died unmarried.
George CALVIN (x1113) went from Henderson Co., Tenn. To Texas 1881. He had 5 children with him.
Comment: The tradition as to the origin of this family coincides with that of the North Carolina family which claims Scotch-Irish descent, and with the Ohio family whose tradition is descent from an old Scottish family.
It was in the years of 1200 through the time of Martin Luther that so many people fled from Bavaria and Germany for religious persecution, and they might well have gone to England and spent some years before coming to America.
I once talked with a gentleman from England whose wife was Irish. He told me that he had heard through her of a number of Baughan’s in Ireland but knew none of them personally.
Lucille Clark stated in one of her letters that her family and those Baughn’s of Petty and Paris Texas, who are my cousins, are related but I have been unable to find the connection.
It might help some to know which members of her family went to Texas and when, and whether or not they went at the same time as ‘Uncle Dick’ in 1881.

BAUGHAN OF WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE OHIO
About 1811/12, five brothers, Simeon, Lystra, Henry, Moses, and Mordecai, went to Ohio from Rockingham County, North Carolina, where they settled for a while after leaving Virginia. In Virginia, they may have lived either in Essex or Culpepper County, or in both, as those two counties contain the greater number of records.
The history of the Wall, Reynolds, Mason, and Fewell families give them as having gone to North Carolina from Virginia with the above named families which were closely connected by intermarriage with one another.
The first record as recorded in Rockingham County is a deed for Henry Baughan in 1797.
The above five brothers were sons of Mordecai Baughan who left a will recorded in Culpepper County, Va., in 1792. In that will he named his wife, Eve, and children as follows:
l. Henry, 2. Sarah, 3. Susanna, 4. Lystra, 5. Moses, 6. Catherine, 7. Jeremiah, 8. Mordecai, 9. Simeon, and x. Joe1. Eve Baughn’s will dated 1835 named all the above chi1dren and Jefferson and Mordecai, her grandsons, sons of Joel, deceased.

Both Henry and Elizabeth (Wall) Baughan are buried at Sugar Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Washington Court House, Ohio.
He served in the war of 1812 as a private in Wm Wilson’s Com. of the Ohio Malitia, from August 1 to September 9 1812. (Page 15 Roster Ohio Soldiers) Their marriage is recorded in Culpepper County with Wm Mason the officiat-ing minister. (Marriage records Vol. 1 page 13)

At first glance, the following data does not appear to have any connection with the above family; but the marriage of Elmer C Baughan (51613) and Rebecca E Arnold (61111) does make a connection, even though it is in the fifth generation.
It would be interesting to know if there is any relationship between Mr Ingle, husband of Samantha Glaze (5183) and Wm. Ingle, husband of Susan Baughan (545); Harry Ingle, husband of Lizzie Baughan (61223); Andy Parrot, husband of Margaret Baughan (546) and Walter Parrott, Husband of Mary M Ingle (612231); Eva Thornton, wife of Leondis Baughan (54742) and Essyle Thornton.
There might well be, through intermarriage of these families, more relationship than one would think. It would, of course, depend on how far back one wished to claim ‘kin’. I have known some who do not go beyond first cousins.

note: 'x’ -i.e. no 10 - is on pages 30-31. This is the data received from Lucille Baughan Clark, Mineral Wells, Texas.
The following information was given to me by Mrs Mary Cope, Newburgh, Indiana. She has been trying to find the parents of Richard C Baughn, her ancestor. She and I have exchanged quite a lot of unrelated data all of which will be included with the odds notes at the end of this history.
a Richard C Baughn had a son
a1 Richard Baughn, born in Kentucky 1817; died 1868; married in Warrick County, Ind. October 31 1842 Mary Pierce (Book A, entry 490) She died June 29 1872 and was daughter of William Pierce and his second wife, Polly Pierce. She was born 1819 in Spencer County, Indiana. Richard’s will was dated July 16 1868. -vi-
a11 William Anderson Baughn
a12 Thurzia Ann Baughn

a13 Joseph Thomas Baughn
a14 Wesley Harrison Baughn
a15 Albert Richard Baughn, born 1861; died 1917; married Erminie Duggins. -i-
a151 Mary Baughn, born 1911; married Mr Cope. (my correspondent) -i-
a1511 Julia Cope
a16 George Washington Baughn.
Mary’s father had a niece Theresa Ann Baughn who married Levi Barker and two nephews who live in Plattsburg, N.Y. She, Mary, wrote concerning her family: “My father, Albert Richard Baughn was left an orphan at an early age. He was reared by Dr Prichett of Ft. Branch, Indiana. When he was of age he took the money he received from his father’s estate and went to college and prepared himself to teach. He was teaching at the time of his death. His father, Richard Baughn, was also a teacher. Richard was a Baptist and fought in the Confederate Army. This was quite unusual since he was living in Warrick County, Indiana.
The two nephews of Plattsburg, N.Y. are sons of Wesley (a14), and the niece daughter of Thurzia (a12) age 75 years in 1950.
I have included this excerpt of Mary’s letter so that perhaps some one may be able to help her in her search for the parents of Richard C Baughn (a).

Zachariah died 1922, at Randolph, Neb, both he and Jenny are buried there. They had moved to Nebraska in 1886.
It was he who changed the spelling of the name from Baughn to Boughn because of a mix-up in some legal titles. He outlived all of his 16 children except William, John, Charles, Cecil, and Chester, and was known as Z. Boughn; a very successful man in both Illinois and Nebraska, having been a
large land owner, cattleman, real estate developer, etc.; so that at his death his estate was valued at $500000. He had a hand in practically every business in Bel-den, Randolph, and Walthill, Nebraska, and was instrument-al in the founding of Belden and Randolph.

The above data was sent to me by Adelaide Baughan who is now 79 years old in 1954. Manford G., attended the reunion in North Carolina in 1953. He gave

Hiram ? whose eldest daughter married and had a daughter who married Mr Strine of a Produce Company in Perry, Iowa. The telephone for Perry shows only one name ‘Strine’ or ‘Stine’ and does not list a produce company. He thought perhaps she could tell me more about this branch of the family.

Note: These same names appear in the will of Dorothy (North) Henry. The following chart shows the connection.
Augustine North of Ware Parish, Gloucester,Co. Va died prior to l692; He married Dorothy - surname unknown; she married 2nd Daniel Henry of Essex Co. Daniel Henry was a connection of the Winston Family of Virginia.
The name ‘Lee’ was also shown as ‘Ley’. In the Virginia Magazine records are found showing association of an Augustine Lee with a member of the Boughan family so I think it is safe to assume that these names refer to the same persons.
