Thank you for your note regarding your interest in the Pugh family.  My mom was a Pugh.   Most all our Pugh family lived in Tallapoosa, Elmore and Macon counties in Alabama after coming from Wales, to Virginia, to North Carolina, to Georgia, then to Alabama.   I, too, am retired and have enjoyed researching family genealogy.                                                                    Sincerely,

*[Jack Vardaman Note--2002:  Rachel Vardaman who married Levi Johnson:  I have several items of information on this family but will just say that they had one daughter, Edilda Caroline Johnson who married James D. Pugh.  This family lived in Tallapoosa Co., AL.  I believe that we can establish Rachel's age pretty well from census records.  I have her on the 1850 census as 37; on the 1860 census as 47; on the 1870 census as 58 and on the 1880 census as 67.  In view of the consistency of the census records, I believe that we can definitely establish her birth as occurring in 1812 or 1813 depending on just which month she was born.  She died after 1880.  Note that Rachel named one of her children after her sister.  Edilda Johnson Pugh may not have liked her name very well as she is shown as Ellen C. Pugh on the 1880 census.  John, I am going to put my information on this Johnson-Pugh line together and send it to you later.]


[John M. Gwin Note--28 May 2020:  In the hope of expanding this PUGH page at least a little, I decided to research these four censuses Jack mentioned in his note, above: 1850, 60, 70, and 80.  Finding them just as Jack described them, I have listed the data for Levi's and Rachel's families from each census below.  Of particular interest is the family of Edilda (listed there as "Ellen") in the 1880 census.

[John M. Gwin Note--28 May 2020:  Levi's and Rachel's family is entered as the last family on this page, dwelling # 186 and family # 186.  The family listing is continued on the next page; however, the person photographing the page for Ancestry.com clearly skipped that page, as the next page starts with dwelling and family number 202.  Therefore, Hiram, Arabella, William, Ben, and any other children who may have been listed cannot be seen.]
