Thanks so much for taking the time to reply! I have discovered that there is more than one John Wesley Dugger. I'm very sure that this one was born in Carlinville, IL around Oct of 1844: I have his Civil War discharge papers showing his place of birth. I know he moved after the war to Kansas, and I am certain that he is the I.W. Dugger listed in 1880 census in Kansas. That I.W. Dugger is shown as being married to an E.S. Campbell, with a child named Robert Earl. Renee's grandfather, John Milton Dugger, was born in Kansas in 1880 and had a brother named Robert Earl Dugger, and his mother's maiden name was Campbell. His father was John Wesley Dugger. John Wesley then moved to California where he died in Colfax in 1911. Robert Earl and then John Milton followed their father out to California.
I believe that this Jown Wesley is the son of William Ferguson because he is the only John Dugger listed as living in Carlinville born at the right time. The 1850 census shows Hannah, Susan, and John Dugger living with their mother, Mortecai Rule and stepfather, John Rule. In the 1860 census, Susan and John are living with their uncle, Joseph C. Dugger. Joseph was the administrator of Wm. F. Dugger's estate, and from the Macoupin County index I see he also became guardian of the children. I guess my next step is to request copies of the guardianship papers.
If you see where my reasoning has been faulty, please tell me. I am certain I am correct back as far as John Wesley Dugger, but I have not yet proven that Wm. F. Dugger is his father. I could sure use the help!
Thanks,
John
