"What I know about our ancestors on my Mother's side" by Mary Barbara Jane Gorham Ingram, 1814-1899 1880 "My great-grandfather was Josiah Sugg. He came from England (with his wife) before the Revolutionary War and settled in North Carolina near the coast. He was very wealthy, was a merchant with three ships on the sea, and also owned farms on which he raised darkies for sale. Josiah was a Whig but his wife was a Tory. On one occasion she struck her son, my grand-father (after he was married) several times with her cane, while he and his father were discussing the political questions of the day because he dared disagree with her. I do not remember the names of their children except Josiah, Jr. Josiah, Sr. stated to Tennessee to enter land while the road throught the wilderness was being cut out he was with the hindmost company, but they travel so slow that he started to go to the foremost one but he never reached them, and it was supposed that he was either lost or killed by the indians as his papers and money were never found. My grand-father, Josiah Sugg, Jr. married Miss Margaret Murphy, by whom he had three sons and four daughters, Aquilla, Josiah, William, Elizabeth, Nancy, Sara and Martha. He was a merchant as was his father. But he was a spendthrift and though he never drank or gambled. His wife died of Consumption after which he moved to Nashville Tennessee. When his eldest daughter married he gave her eleven negroes but the youngest only two all he could afford. Aquilla was a Methodist preacher and had a family. Josiah married and moved to Illinois. William was a soldier in the Was of 1812 and died at New Orleans of the fever. He left a wife and three children. Elizabeth married Mr. Debach, he was poor, who was lost in the wilderness while on a camp hunt, leaving her with three children. She afterward married Mr. Hooper, who was wealthy and had three more children. Nancy married Mr. Hart, who was wealthy and she had one son when her husband died. She then married Jo Robison who was rich but drank and spent her property and his too. They had three daughters, Martha married a Kelar, who was wealthy but I don't remember anything more about her. Sarah was called the Nashville beauty; she married HenryChilds, the handsomest man she ever saw. He died soon, leaving one child, Margaret who married Pleason G. Pipes. Sara then married Thomas Gorham."
