Virginia and North Carolina
Roots
This Baugh family
line appears to have had its early roots in Virginia and North Carolina.
Compiled information so far leads us to William
Baugh, an indentured servant in Virginia in the 1700s or early
1800s, who ran away to Wake County, North Carolina, where he settled and
raised his family. From where he originated, who paid his passage
in exchange for labor, and information about his parents and possible
siblings is not yet known.
A Brief History of Wake
County
Wake County, located
in the east central section of North Carolina, was founded in 1771, and
formed from parts of Cumberland, Johnston, and Orange counties.
It lost some of its land area to Franklin County in 1787 and Durham County
in 1881 and 1911. Today, Wake County contains 832 square miles
and has a population of approximately 656,000. Though its history
reaches back to 16th century England, the City of Raleigh was established
as the capital of North Carolina in 1792 in honor of Sir Walter Raleigh,
considered the father of English America despite the fact he never stepped
foot in the New World.
In the early 1800s, Wake County was a sparsely settled, agrarian community.
A good many of the Baugh ancestors were tobacco farmers.
Cautions
There is great risk
in reading too much into isolated pieces of information. Imagine
trying to figure out what an elephant looks like with only a toe, an ear,
or just the snout as clues. The further we go back in to time,
limited available records--if we're lucky to find any at all--provide
only a momentary glimpse into a situation, and often subject to the interpretation
or limitations of the person recording it.
I have tried to be diligent in recording the sources of my information
so that it can be judged by myself and others as to its reliability.
Just because a record exists does not mean it was recorded accurately,
whether by the scribe or the original provider. But such records
are helpful in providing us with clues that could help verify our assumptions
or point us in new directions.
Photographs
Photos help remind
us that this is about more than facts and statistics; these were real
people of flesh, bone, and blood. They experienced the adventures
of youth, the trials and tribulations of raising a family, the struggles
of work and making ends meet, the joys of traditions, and the sorrows
of loss. Some died young; others lived long, fruitful lives.
In some cases, we may even see a reflection of one another.
Contributions
Any information, corrections,
clippings, suggestions, and/or photos offered that will help weave the
fabric and reveal the texture of the Baugh family's history will be greatly
appreciated. All photos or other original documents will be handled
with great care, copied, and promptly returned to their owner, unless
instructed otherwise. While I am eager for ANY information, including
stories and oral histories, that will help tell our story, I also want
to be respectful of people's privacy and to use discretion in matters
that may be sensitive.
This document is only as complete and accurate as the information available
up to this moment. No doubt it will continue to evolve over time,
as it should.
