    & bef 1739 Thomas Barker 1713 - 1787
    of Nansemond Co VA and Bertie Co NC
    
               This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
    
    1692 - This Francis Pugh was born in 1692 in Nansemond Co VA the son of Ann and Francis Pugh ca 1667 VA, who was the son of another Francis Pugh [ca 1630 Wales - VA], the emigrant.
    
    Francis Pugh [III] married Pheribee Savage on 8 September 1722 in Northampton Co, VA.
    
    Pheribee was born in Virginia the daughter of Thomas Savage and Alicia Hermanson.
    
    1731 - This Francis Pugh was a Justice of the Peace in Chowan County NC in 1731
    
    1736 - died in Bertie County April 1736 or early May.
    
    Apparently Pheribee married 2nd Thomas Barker. bef 21 Sept 1739 when Thomas Barker and wife Feribe sold land together to Jacob Jarnagan. Bertie Deed Bk F-180. After Pheribee's  apparent death he married Penelope.
    
    Pheribee died before 1754 in Bertie County NC. [Pheribee Savage was a great granddaughter of another Thomas Savage.]
    
    Notes per the emigrant generation: Francis Pugh was the son of a Welsh squire who lived at "Glendower Hall." Francis emigrated, with brothers Daniel and Thomas, to Jamestown, Virginia in 1666. Francis, the eldest, settled near Suffolk, Va. in Nansemond Co. and built a "commodius" brick (imported from England) residence he christened "Jericho." Daniel Pugh and his family moved to SC. Thomas and family moved to West Va. and the Ohio region.
    E W Pugh stated "... it is implicitly believed by the older members of the famiy that the name was originally 'ap Hugh' (Welsh),.. 'son of Hugh', eventually corrupted into the English name Pugh .. the older members also believe that we descended from Sir Owen Glendower through a son of his, Hugh Glendower" Sources: Molly Urquhart
