Descendants of William Pugh (1773-1850)
The Pugh Surname DNA
Project is providing us with incredible insight into connections previously
unknown and long established connections that we now know are in error. With only 60 participants, are already very close
to completing the foundation for assembly of the Pugh DNA forest that grew out
of Colonial America. We are also
learning important things about Pugh lines that came to America in more recent
times. We have a small group of
participants who represent lines outside of America and hope to increase
International participation in the Project to further connect the Pugh lines
that have spread around the globe.
The information
presented on these pages is, in some areas, speculative and is by no means complete. We have relied heavily on Internet sources in
compiling the data and have received much information from many genealogists
and family historians. We are most
grateful to all of those who have done the research and shared it with the
world so that we may continue to sort out this tangled collection of
individuals. To advance Pugh genealogy
we hope to provide a setting where we can gain input from those who are
knowledgeable, willing and able to offer advice and to help correct the
information presented here. Please view
this information as fluid and subject to change.
The information
contained in these pages is being published in good faith, and has been
checked, whenever possible, for accuracy against sources available to us. Please inform us of any discrepancies, so
that we may correct the information and improve its accuracy. We welcome your participation in the Pugh
Surname DNA Project and/or your insight as to what the DNA results may be
trying to tell us.
