I just wanted folks to know that the only mention that I can find of a Pugh family is listed below and it does not list any females in the Will that was left by Daniel Pugh, Sr.

Draw your own conclusion, is there an Elizabeth Maria Pugh or is there not?

25 Mar 1700 Daniel Pugh Sr. (will dated 25 March 1700) is listed as a headright "twice imported" of Nicholas Stallings in a patent of 25 April 1701 (Va Pat. Book 9 , p303). Daniel Pugh Sr patented land in Nansemond Co. in 1695, 1698, 1699 and 1700. By his wife Ann, Daniel Pugh had issue: Ann Pugh who married John DUKE, as well as other children John Pugh, Francis Pugh, Theophilus Pugh, and Daniel Pugh. Daniel Pugh Jr. died intestate leaving 450 acs of land (part of a patent for 750 acs granted Col. Thomas DEW 10 Oct 1670, on which today lies the city of Suffolk) inherited from his father Daniel Pugh , to his son Daniel Pugh III who in turn left the land to his mother and three sisters. (Daniel Pugh died 1745, was a vestryman in 1743) (Va Gen. Mag. II p102)

I just thought some of the kind folks with queries would like to know and if there is anything that proves this wrong please do me the favor of giving me the source to where I can check it since I did find this Will on line!

Thank you
