LEWIS DELONY BAUGH AND HIS DESCENDANTS
by John Cryer Baugh IV
Baugh is an old Scottish word signifying bad or indifferent. The first of the name in this country was Thomas. He came over in the ship Supply. Thomas Baugh was living at "West Shirley Hundred" in February 1623, and at "College Land" near Dutch Gap in. 1624. John Baugh was a member of the House of Burgesses from Henrico in 1644-45. William Baugh paterned 577 acres of land in Henrico now Chesterfield on the north side of the river, generations of the family can be traced.
Lewis Delony Laugh, our ancestor, was born in February, 1788. The place is not known, but at an early date he came to Surry County and on January 16, 1810, he was married to Nancy Cryer of "Melville Plantation". She was the only daughter William Cryer, and was born December 25, 1780. Nancy died on May 16, 1834, leaving two children:

1. John Cryer Baugh
2. Susannah Baugh

Lewis Delony Baugh was married the second time to Lucinda Inghram. After his death on January 30, 1849, Lucinda and her daughter Ann Marie lived in a cottage across from "Oake Hill" the home of her stepson John C. Baugh (sic ... poss Retreat Farm). Aunt Ann said that after her father's death, her brother John continued to look after her and her mother. Lucinda died in October 1881, leaving one daughter:

1. Ann Marie Laugh

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.

Several years ago while search for family datum I came across the following notice that I think reveals something of the type of man he was:

"Know all men by these Presents that I. John C. Baugh of the County of Surry and State of Virginia, have set free my negro slave, William Slaughter, who is of brought colour and are about thirty six. And I hereby invest said William Slaughter with all the privileges with which is in my power to invest him as a free man. Witness this fifth day of January l55.

John C. Baugh and Agnes Rebecca Tatem, his wife, had one son who was:
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.

Martha Ann Elizabeth attended school in Murfreesboro, N, C. They lived at "Oake Hill" with his parents until "Home Cottage",
