Descendants of Daniel Dugger

Generation No. 1

1. DANIEL¹ DUGGER was born 1690, and died 1776 in Brunswick County, VA (burial near Petersburg, VA). He married MARY SCARBOROUGH February 20, 1716/17 in Surry County, Va, daughter of EDWARD SCARBOROUGH and ANN TAGNO. She was born 1695 in Surry County, VA, and died May 26, 1783 in Brunswick County, VA (burial near Petersburg, VA).

Notes for DANIEL DUGGER:
The Dugger family was in the area even before North Carolina was formed. The Dugger's had land grants from the King of England to develop iron and zinc mines and to export lumber to the "Mother Country" long before the American Revolution. William Dugger was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1656.
--------------------------
Legend has said that there were three Dugger brothers who came from Scotland to Yadkin Elk, having settled for a time near Petersburg, Virginia. Benjamin, Daniel and Julius were their names. Benjamin stopped at Brushy Fork, near the present Holtsclaw settlement. Daniel went west to Kentucky and Julius settled in what was Carter, County Tennessee, near Fish Springs.

Another unproven possibility is that the Duggers originated in England. There were two Duggard's who were transported prisoners(one was sentenced for murder) specifically John Duggard from the English Midlands, it is suspected that the Duggers descended from this John.

Notes for MARY SCARBOROUGH:
Mary Left a will naming her favorite grandson STERLING Dugger.
He was the Son Of Henry Dugger And Ann Bailey

Mary made her will on January 27, 1778 in Brunswick Co, Va.:
In the name of God amen I Mary Duggar of the County of Brunswick being in perfect health of body and in perfect sense and memory thanks be to almighty, first and principally I give my soul to almighty my Creator, and Jesus Christ my Reemer fully trusting in their mercy for my sins and for what Estate it hath God to bless me with in this life I give as is hereafter expressed secondly I give all my personal estate to my grandson Sterling Dugger and his heirs forever freely and graciously free from all incumberances
hereafter. This 27th day of January 1778. Signed: Mary (her N mark) Duggar
signed sealed in presence of John Turbyfill, James Duggar, Sarah (her X mark) Duggar

On 4 Mar 1778 Mary was again mentioned in the Parish records for an
allowance. (Bath Parish Register of Dinwiddie and St Andrew's Parish Vestry
Book of Brunswick by William Lindsay Hopkins, 1989 - pg 98)

She was listed again on 25 Sep 1778. (Bath Parish Register of Dinwiddie and
St Andrew's Parish Vestry Book of Brunswick by William Lindsay Hopkins,
1989 - pg 99)

She was listed again on 5 Aug 1780 for the same reason. (Bath Parish
Register of Dinwiddie and St Andrew's Parish Vestry Book of Brunswick by
William Lindsay Hopkins, 1989 - pg 101)

By 1782 James Dugger was taking care of Mary Scarborough Dugger. I think she
was his grandmother, but it is possible that he was her youngest child
instead of a grandchild. In any event, he was given an allowance on 3 Jul
1782 for maintenance of Mary Dugger. (Bath Parish Register of Dinwiddie and
St Andrew's Parish Vestry Book of Brunswick by William Lindsay Hopkins,
1989 - pg 101)

Mary Scarborough Dugger died on 26 May 1783 in Brunswick Co, VA. This date
was given on the 20 Jun 1783 Parish record where James Dugger was given an
allowance for maintaining Mary Dugger from 3 Jul 1782 "to the day of her
death on 26 May 1783 and burying her". (Bath Parish Register of Dinwiddie
and St Andrew's Parish Vestry Book of Brunswick by William Lindsay Hopkins,
1989 - pg 102)

Mary Dugger's Will was recorded on 22 Sep 1783 in Brunswick Co, VA.
(Brunswick Co, VA Will Book 2 page 22)

Daniel witnessed the will of John Tyus in 1725. That same year he secured a patent to 125 acres on Buckhorn Branch in Surry County. His land was between Cypress and Johnchecohunk swamps near the present-day town of Savedge. Tyus was a Johnchecohunk neighbor. Daniel gave this land to his son Henry Dugger in 1756.
The vestry book of St. Andrew’s Parish reveals that the church was maintaining Daniel Dugger and his wife 1773-75. Following Daniel’s death in the Winter 1775-6, the vestry continued to provide for Mary until her death 26 May 1783.
