Name Notes
William, William I and WIlliam II In the materials prepared by Lois Baugh (b. Ark. 1905, d. Ks. 1997), she combined the persons now shown as William, I & II through their parentage of Priscilla. This was a source of considerable confusion until the matter was researched further. The articles written by Charlotte Hughes Brown helped confirmed my decision to separate these two Williams.
William I, John and Thomas Baugh William, I is uniformly cited as the founder of the Baugh line in colonial Virginia but there is information recording the presence of a Thomas Baugh in the earliest settlements of Virginia. Thomas Baugh appears in the 1624 census of West Sherlow having arrived in Virginia via the ship Supply. I have concluded that this Thomas was a cousin of William, I; being the son of William, I's uncle, John. There is also a John Baugh recorded in a list of tithes along with William, I in Henrico County, 1679. This John , I have further concludedm was the brother of William, I.
Thomas Baugh, cousin to WIlliam, I Thomas Baugh emigrated from England to Virginia on the Ship Supply was the companion ship to the Mayflower. It left 3 weeks late from England and, unlike the Mayflower, it found it's way to Virginia.
*unknown, in Virginia Mother of James and Katherine. Possibly Womack? Possibly Jane Byrd (daughter of Col. Wm. Byrd)?
Jane Hatcher Branch Mother of Priscilla. Jane's first husband was William Branch, second was William Baugh, II and third was Abel Gower. Jane, through her marriage to Branch and via their daughter Mary (not to be confused with a daughter Mary born to William Baugh, I and Elizabeth Packer-Sharp), was the great great grandmother of President Thomas Jefferson. Mary Branch married Thomas Jefferson who was the grandfather of President Thomas Jefferson. Jane was also linked to President Thomas Jefferson through her daughter Priscilla Baugh. Priscilla was the mother-in-law of the aunt of Thomas Jefferson. There may still be some doubt that the maiden name of the woman who married William Branch, William Baugh and then Abel Gower was actually Hatcher.
William Baugh, II William Baugh, II emigrated to Virginia with his father at an early age. His father counted him as a headright in his first land patent application.
Thomas Byrd Thomas Byrd, the fourth husband of Mary Baugh was a brother of Col. Wm. Byrd.
Thomas Howlett, 2nd husband of Mary Baugh Mary Baugh and Thomas Howlett had a son, Thomas, b. ~1675 and d. 29 June 1717. This son Thomas md. Susanna __ England Catlin between 17 Dec 1703 and 2 April 1705. Susanna was the daughter of William Catlin Together with her husband she presented an accounting of her father's estate. Susanna left a will dated 12 Dec 1724, recorded 7 Mar 1725 and witenessed by Edward Booker, Henry Anderson and Henry Trent. Susanna's will mentioned daughters Jane White and Elizabeth Howlett and sons Crowley Howlett, John Howlett and Thomas Howlett. The senior Thomas Howlett eventually purchased all of the lands belonging to his stepfather, Henry Ascough, on 25 June 1717.
Children of Mary Baugh and Thomas Howlett Thomas md. Martha Wilkinson, a daughter of Joseph Wilkinson and his wife Priscilla Branch. Elizabeth md. Thomas Bass. John md. Judith __ and died before April 1760. Judith's will was dated 1 Nov. 1767 and recorded 1 Dec 1769. Crowley md. __ Slaughter and left a will dated 2 Nov. 1750, recorded 1 Feb 1750/1.
