| Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| Joseph | Joseph Baugh was born in Virginia, married in Kentucky and died in Missouri. He removed to Madison County between 1794 and 1796 after the area was well established and was no longer what one would call frontier. The same is true of his move to Missouri in 1816. He seemed to follow the frontier-opening efforts of Daniel Boone. Their paths closed when his son, Benjamin, married Maria Boone who was a niece of Daniel Boone. |
| Joseph | Joseph claimed in his Rev. War penssion application that records of his early years were kept at the Rocky Oak Church in Powhatan County, Virginia. |
| Joseph | Joseph Baugh is listed in the 1810 census of Madison County, Ky. The
listing shows two males between 10 and 16 years of age, and two over 45.
The identity of the 2nd adult male in this household is unknown at this
time. The young males are William G. and Benjamin. The list also shows four
females under age 10 (Elsey, Nancy, Mary and Martha - Lucinda not yet born),
one between 10 and 16 (Judith) and one between 26 and 45 (wife Nancy who was
apparently quite a bit younger than Joseph. The same census also lists Joseph's brothers William A. and Alexander. Later censuses (1820 and 1830) list William and William A. (son of William). Joseph has moved to Missouri by this time. |
| Joseph | Joseph Baugh claimed to be a veteran of the Revolutionary War. In his application for a war pension; given on December 1, 1843; Joseph related his war experiences. He did his first service in September, 1777 under General Nelson in Williamsburg and the Chesapeake Bay where he witnessed the British fleet sailing up the Bay and towards the Elk River. In the summer of 1778 Joseph was called to serve under Capt. Mumford and Gen. Lawson in Williamsburg for three months. In the fall of 1779 he served under Capt. Poag at Little York on the York River to prevent any landing that the British might attempt in the Chesepeake Bay. Around Christmas, 1779 Arnold stormed the Foundry in Westham and pillaged the public stores of Richmond. Joseph volunteered to serve under Genl. Saunders in Petersburg and fired upon British forces near City Point. Joseph spent the winter of 1780 under the command of Major Duvall and kept the forces of Arnold confined to the immediate area of Portsmouth. Joseph recounts how a British sentinel was shot dead by Tom Turk of Augusta County before his group took seven prisoners. This tour ended in April,1780 but Joseph saw the Marquis Lafayette and Baron Steuben who marched past his encamped militia force. In the summer of 1781 Joseph was recalled to help in the defeat of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Joesph saw Genl. Washington in Williamsburg just before the siege of Yorktown started. Joseph's application for a Revolutionary War service pension was rejected. |
| Joseph | Bryan & Rose in their book "Pioneer Families of Missouri" said "The Baughs were doubtless of German descent". Had they researched further, they would have found differently but the time and place that Joseph chose for his home after leaving Kentucky was at the time undergoing a large influx of German immigrants. Their assertion probably seemed reasonable at the time. |
| Joseph | A review of the estate papers of Joseph Baugh reveal first of all that Joseph died without a will. In fact
a deposition of one of his heirs quoted Joseph saying that the law of the State of Missouri was all the will
he wanted. If he had known the years and the lawyering it would take to finally settle his affairs he might
have felt differently and done the responsible thing. It took until 5 years after his death to complete the
settlement of his affairs which included the sale of slaves, land and collection of monies owned to him by a
good number of his family and associates. During the time in which the estate was being settled, Joseph's wife Nancy Gentry also passed away and there were lengthy legal contests over the definition of the real property of the estate. In the end Joseph Baugh's estate included 650+ acres of farmland and 10 slaves. |
| Nancy Baugh | The origin and fate of Joseph's wife, Nancy Gentry, is very perplexing. She is not mentioned in his application for War benefits nor is it apparent that she is buried with him in the plot near New Melle. Evaluation of his estate papers reveals that she (probably) passed during the settlement period which took many years. The best estimate now is that she passed early in 1851 but there is no proof of an exact date that has been found yet. This date can only be surmised by a comment in Joseph's papers which states that John S. Moore has become the administrator of the estate of Nancy Baugh as well. |

An excellent WWW source of information on the Boone line, the Baugh-Boone connection as well as a record of the descendents of Martha (Patsey) Baugh and Larkin Howell is maintained by Dan and Jean Cotton. Jean has also entered several ancestors on the Missouri Pioneers Homepage. |
| Judith and Lucinda Baugh |
Joseph's daughters Judith and Lucinda preceded him in death. Judith's husband George Clare represented their children
in estate proceedings. Their children were: Thomas, Mary Ann, Patsey, James D., Susan and Nancy. Both Lucinda and her husband, Isaac Sallee, died before Joseph. Larkin Howell became the legal guardian for their children: Lycurgus, Oliver, Patsey, Barthena, William and George. |
| Alcy Baugh |
Alcy Baugh married first Joseph Ripley in St. Charles Co., Mo. That marriage must have ended before the death of Joseph Baugh
in 1846, possibly due to the death of Joseph Ripley because it is Alcy's second husband who is represented in the probate
proceedings. Alcy and her second husband James Watson were represented in Joseph's probate proceedings by Samuel Watson who was most likely a brother of James. The probate proceedings include a deposition from Archabald Watson; apparently the eldest son of James but too young to be of legal standing in the proceedings. |
