Hi Bill
Wow, indeed any Pugh can come.It is called PUGH MEMORIES.
The surnames from Izard Co AR that are involved with the Pughs are......
LEE,BARKSDALE,LINN,BROWN,COLEMAN,TATE,COLLIE,
among others......
There were so many Lees' that married with Pughs that alot of them moved to the McLean TX area together from Izard Co.
Alot are buried in McLean.
Do you desecend from the Pughs in Izard Co?
The family reunion is geneally held in Hood River OR, now up the hi-way at Parkdale in Toll Bridge Park.
If you send me your snail mail address, I will send you more information.It is strictly camping.You have to make reservations.If you decide to and need some help, just write me.
My father is the one who takes care of payments and reservations.
The Lee Boys have a country band.They perform on Saturday night.It is the first Weekend in August every year.This year it is, if I am correct, the 4th, the 5th, and the 6th.Generally, there aren't many left on Sunday.Alot of them pack up and go to the coast where they camp and visit for another week or so.Most of our relatives go to church on Sunday so they pack up on Saturday night.It is on a Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sun.
I have been mostly researching the Lees' and Durhams' for my father but tried another approach with the Pughs.The farthest they have back is Edwin.Though he came from NC, he met his wife Nancy Brown (descendent of a Linn) and they moved on to Izard Co.I think they married or at least stopped in Wayne Co TN.
It seems like everyone I am researching has come from Wayne Co TN.I wonder what the significance is.
