The Baugh Family: Virginia to

By Ivan W. Baugh

father, Samuel Baugh.4
Kentucky census records showed John Baugh and
Samuel Baugh of Logan County were both born in
Virginia. I found a War of 1812 pension application
for Samuel Baugh, indicating that he was enlisted in
the South Carolina Militia under Captain Key at
Edgefield, S.C.5
This raised a big question: why did he serve from
South Carolina when he had been born in Virginia?
After many years of research, I believe I have an
answer. John Baugh of Logan County had a son
named Daniel. Daniel’s family Bible lists John Baugh
as a son of James Baugh of Virginia.6
Research at the Library of Virginia produced
Chesterfield County Chancery Court records for
James Baugh (b. 2 December 1740) that list the William Green Baugh and Alice Kelly
