Notes |
- The following info is directly from G.D. Buckley. "Richard PEMBERTON [Parents] 1, 2 was born on 22 Jun 1760. He died on 19 Feb 1805 in Newberry, South Carolina. Richard married 3 Lydia PUGH on 30 Jul 1785 in Bush River Mm, Newberry Co.,hCarolina. Some sources state that Lydia Pugh never married and remained in Viginia. Our sources strongly indicate that she married Richard Pemberton and, after his death, moved to Ohio with her children. Following is a chronology from Dan Buckley: "1769-05-01, Thomas Pugh and his wife Ann and children, Gabriel, Jane, Alice, Elizabeth (Betty), Ann, and Lydia Pugh received a certificate of Membership (Quaker) to Bush River, Newberry County South Carolina 1773-03-04, Betty (Elizabeth) Pugh married John Jay in Berkeley Co. SC 1777-04-26, Thomas Pugh his wife Ann and children Jean (Jane) Ann, Lydia and Rachel (born in South Carolina) received a Certificate of Membership to Hopewell Monthly Meeting, VA 1777-06-02, Thomas Pugh et al received at Hopewell MM, VA 1785-07-30, Richard Pemberton disowned for marrying out of unity at Bush River MM. 1798-06-30, Gabriel McCool requested minute to travel in VA with his mother Ann Pugh. (also listed under PUGH.) [Bush River] 1799-06-29, Lidde Pemberton received by request at Bush River MM. 1800-10-25, Richard Pemberton condemned his marriage out of unity at Bush River MM. 1800-11-29, Isaiah, William, Rachel, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Anne children of Richard Pemberton, received by request at Bush River. 1805-02-19, Richard Pemberton died at Bush River. A search of Hinshaw's Vol 1 for Bush River MM reveals that there is only one Lydia Pugh listed. Around the year 1810: "Esther Coate Pemberton was accompanied to Ohio by Lydia Pemberton, widow of Richard, a brother of her husband, Isaiah Pemberton, II, who had also left a will in Newberry County leaving children Isaac, William, Rachel, Elizabeth, Sarah and Anna." There is a tax record on file in the public records of Miami Co., Ohio dated 1816 that names Lydia Pemberton nee Pugh. Also in these records is an entry dated 1824 in re: Lydia Pemberton's estate. These Ohio records prove that Lydia Pemberton did indeed move to Ohio and that her maiden name was Pugh. We believe the above facts leave little doubt that Lydia daughter of Thomas and Ann Pugh was the wife of Richard Pemberton." [G.D. Buckley, Jr. 30 Dec 2000]
