  • Notes 
    • !NOTES:Marty Grant's 4th Great Grand Uncle.;

      !NOTE:Some claim that Nancy Goodwin and Lawson Goodwin were not children of Drury Goodwin, but of Samuel Hall with Mary Dugger Goodwin who was already widowed when they were born. This doesn't seem to be correct, but worth noting;

      !NOTE:Byron Pearson shared the list of children of Lawson & Celia. I've seen no proof for any of these kids, though the list seems accurate;

      !REFERENCE:"A History of Watauga County, North Carolina" John Preston Arthur. 1915. Ibid. Page 303 "Dugger Family. --- In 1793 or 1794 Benjamin DUGGER came to Watauga County from Yadkin Elk, where a creek and mountain still bear his name. He entered land on Brushy Fork, near the present HOLTSCLAW settlement. His children were Selah, who married Lawson GOODIN; Daniel DUGGER; Cora Ann, who married Samuel BURNS; Susannah, who married John WHITTINGTON; Mary, who married John CALIHAN; David and William DUGGER. David DUGGER bought out the other heirs. The deed is dated November 1, 1815 and calls for two tracts on Brushy Fork. There were three DUGGER brothers who came from Scotland to Yadkin Elk, having settled for a time near Petersburg, Va., Benjamin, Daniel and Julius. Ben stopped on Brushy Fork, Daniel went west to Kentucky and Julius settled in what was then Carter County, Tennessee, near Fish Springs, where some of his descendants still live. It was from the Julius DUGGER family that the Dugger Forge and the beginnings of Cranberry forge started. David married Margaret ERNEST and their children are: Henry, who married a GREEN; Polly, who married David HOWELL; Elizabeth, who married Jehiel SMITH, and William, who married Unice MUNDAY. William's children were: Henry, who never married; Franklin, who married Martha PRESNELL; David, who married Mary MUNDAY; Elizabeth, who never married; John, killed in Civil War; William Eben, married Nannie WILKERSON; Margaret and Mary Jane, not married";
