Hi Lisa,
I am trying to locate the parents of Edwin Pugh born 1816 NC.He married Nancy Brown, the daughter of Levi Brown, Guilford Co NC or that's at least where she was born.Researchers say he was born in Orange Co NC.Anyway, Levi's wife, Mary Ann or Polly Linn, was the daughter of John Linn and ___________ Lineberry.The Linns', Lineberrys' and Pughs' seem to be together in Randolph and especially Guilford Co NC.I have a couple of clues as to the family of Edwin Pugh.I am thinking this isn't his first name since I can't find him anywhere.Edwin Pugh recieved a letter in 1886 from a nephew, Will Goley, stating that he had 2 other sisters, Sally and Lucindy.One of them married a Goldsmith and obviously one married a Goley.The person who was talking in the book said they definitely new Edwin to have a sister, Mary.Maybe she was married to this Will Goley man.The letter was sent from Sandy Creek PO which is in Randolph Co NC so I just assumed that his family was from there or Guilford Co NC just like his wife Nancy Brown's were.Edwin and Nancy married in Wayne Co TN and had first three children there.They then moved to Izard Co AR where they and many others stayed.Levi Brown migrated with daughter and is buried there.
Edwin supposedly had a long lost brother but this family doesn't know who he was.I will ask someone about this Mary who was definitely his sister.
