Lydia Pugh d/o Thomas Pugh and Anne Wright VA
I see that the erroneous information that Lydia Pugh who was the daughter of Thomas Pugh and Ann Wright of Frederick Co, VA is just growing and growing on more and more family trees online at ancestry.com.Thomas Pugh's daughter Jane married a man named Walter Denny who left a will in Frederick Co, VA that was written on 8 May 1810 and probated on 2 Dec 1811. He recounts that his wife received land from her sister Lydia Pugh who had been left land by her father Thomas Pugh. However, since Lydia could not take care of herself, she gave the land to her sister Jane in payment for taking care of her in later years. Therefore, that Lydia Pugh could not be the one who married Richard Pemberton.
So for those of us who were descended from the stronger Lydia Pugh Pemberton who led her family from South Carolina to the Miami Valley of Ohio after the death of her husband Richard in 1805, how could any of those descendants believe that an obviously debilitated Lydia Pugh (d/o Thomas and Ann (Wright) Pugh) was their ancestor?
The facts do not seem to matter. It would be nice if some of those researchers would put their minds to finding out who were the parents of the Lydia Pugh who married Richard Pemberton.
