Teresa and Arden:

This is not my line but this is what I have accumulated over the years for this line. I would look forward for the forums' review, addition and correction. Based on census data I believe that Coy S is also Erastus Solomon Pugh, Jr.

Do you know if Erastus Pugh was a minister? If so, he was my grandfather. I have not accumlated much info on them. I believe he was married 3 times. My father Alden Pugh was his youngest child. My Erastus had 20-some children by 3 marriages, so I'm kind of dreading the work that involved here. My uncle, Coy Newton, did a family genealogy book before his death. I didn't get a copy of it then. I would imagine it is available somewhere in his hometown, which is Parkersburg, WV. The only other child of this Erastus I'm sure of is Rev. Charles Newton. Charles and Coy were half-
brothers to my father. Also, my father spoke of Hacker Valley WV as the family homeplace.
