Notes:

Only Child of John Cryer Baugh and Agnes
My great-great grandfather, John Cryer Baugh, was born February 14, 1813. Nothing is known concerning his boyhood. He married Agnes Rebecca Neville Tatem of "Shady Run", Prince George County. Her father was David Tatem. The first few years of their marriage they lived at "Mount Vension". It was here at "Mount Vension" that their only child William Wesley Baugh was born. During the year 1840 John Cryer acquired from the Major Family a plantation in Surry County which he named "Oake Hill". Besides this plantation he owned Retreat Farm and Spring Grove. He was instrumental in building old Union Methodist Church which stood on the old stage road (Rt. 10) two miles east of the present village of Spring Grove. Cousin John Owen said that he was a very generous person - he built a school house on his plantation, employed a teacher and gave free tuition to those neighboring children unable to pay. He died very suddenly on April 22, 1861. A few years before her death, Aunt Ann Baugh Avery said that she remembered clearly his death. She said that she and her mother were living across the road from brother John. Fairly in the morning a colored slave came to call them. Soon after they reached the house he died surrounded by his family and few house servants. He was buried on the plantation.


1. William Wesley Baugh

William Wesley Baugh, only son of John C. Baugh and Agnes Tatem, his wife, was born at "Mount Vension" in Surry County in the year 1839. He was educated in the private school of his father and attended Franklinton Institute in North Carolina. On November 18, 1858 he was married to pretty Martha Ann Elizabeth Edwards, sometimes called "Nannie", in the drawing room of her father's home "Oakland" in Surry County. She was born a t her mother's old home, "Cedar Field", Surry County (see Bohannan's Book Old Surry) March 22, 1841. The daughter of Dr. William Henry Edwards and Elizabeth Procter, his wife. Her father was a direct descendant of William Edwards of Jamestown, Clerk of the Colony and of the Court 1688-94, and of the council of the colony. Nartha Ann Elizabeth attended school in Murfreesboro, N. C. They lived at "Oake Hill" with his parents until "Home Cottage", their home, the, gift of his father, was completed. During the year 1859, Little Willie, their first babe was born. Great grandfather lived at "Home Cottage" just a short while, for with the death of his father in 1861 they moved back to "Oake Hill" to be with his mother.

When the war broke out he enlisted and joined Company, 13 Va. Cavalry, and was made a captain. During the war, my grandfather, William Wesley Baugh, was born (1862). His name at birth was William Edwards, after his grandfather Edwards, but later for some reason was changed to William Wesley (see old family Bible).

With Lee surrendering at Appomattox, and the war coming to a close, he returned to his beloved "Oake Hill". it was not the Oake Hill that he had left. His barns and grainery were empty, and the slaves that had worked his fields were gone. They were poor - Home Cottage and Spring Grove had to be sold . At the courthouse in Surry there is recorded the deed conveying these two places to a Mr. Hillyard that tract of land known as "Home Cottage" embounding all the lands south of the stare road from Cabin Point to Surry Courthouse which formerly belonged to John C. Baugh, deceased, and that other tract known as "Spring Grove" formerly belonging to John C. Baugh, lying on the north side of the stage road from Cabin Point to Swans Point and bounded by said lands and the ditch between the tract and William Allen's tract known as Allen's ditch, and by a hedge of cedars beginning at a gate on the state road opposite the avenue to Home Cottage, and running directly to Allen's ditch, these to tracts containing 817 acres. Item 3 said Hillyard promised to pay W. W. Baugh, the sum of ten thousands dollars. Item 4 said Hillyard has no right to sell the schoolhouse on Home Cottage tract.

For a few years great grandfather lived in Petersburg. My friend, Mr. Well Barnes of near Spring Grove said that he helped them move. In Petersburg they lived on Wythe Street. My grandfather and his brother while in Petersburg attended MeCabes University School, a very fashionable boys school of that day. During the summer they visited their grandmother at "Cake bill". Here they loved to ride over the plantation on horseback. Several years ago I met a very charming lady who told me this little story. "I was walking home from school one day", she said, "when up came Willie Baugh, your grandfather, on horseback. He dismounted and kissed me - the first boy to kiss me." (This lady, an old friend of our family, was Mertie Harrison, who later was married to Dr. Shaum of Norfolk, Va.)

Another little incident that I think is worth remembering was told me by an old colored woman, Aunt Mary Smith. She said that after the war 1861-65 she lived at Cabin Point. The Baugh Brothers, Willie and Johnnie, used to drive past her place each school day in a buggy and two beautiful ponies. Our people have for generations loved horses.

On November 20, 1886, great grandfather Baugh died, his wife pretty Nannie Edwards survived him eleven years. I must not forget to tell that Cousin Albert Edwards Wilson of Norfolk said that she was the prettiest Edwards ever known. They were both buried in the family graveyard on "Cake Hill". To this union were born:

1. Little Willie Baugh.
2. John Cryer Baugh, 2nd.
3. William Wesley Baugh, 2nd.

1. Little Willie Baugh was born at "Oake Hill" in the year 1859.

2. John Cryer Baugh, 2nd, second son of William Wesley Baugh and Martha Ann Elizabeth Edwards, his Wife, was born at "Home Cottage", Surry County, October 27, 1860. He attended McCabes University School in Petersburg and died unmarried at "Oake Hill" July 16, 1889. Buried on Cake Hill.

3. William Wesley Baugh, third son of William Wesley Baugh and Martha Ann Elizabeth Edwards, his wife, was born at "Oake Hill Surry County, December 16, 1862. He attended McCabes University School in Petersburg. On January 31, 1884, he was married to Mattie Florence Ramey, at her father's home in Spring Grove. She was born at Spring Grove, the daughter of Joseph Ramey and Alice West, his wife. Her grandfather West (William Major) was sheriff of Surry County for over forty years. Her grandmother West was before her marriage, Lucy Caroline Warren, a direct descendant of Thomas Warren, the builder of the Warren or Rolf House neary Surry Courthouse.

Grandmother Baugh attended a finishing school run by a Mr. Warwick in Petersburg and took dancing lessons under a Prof. Griszel of the same city. (See Warren Family Lineage)
