Biography* Mr. Wm Baugh patented 577 acres in Henrico (now Chesterfield) on the north side of Appomattox River 16 Jan 1668; head rights: Wm Baugh, Sr., Wm Baugh, Jr. & ? This Wm Baugh, Sr., is the first ancestor to whom later generations can be traced. In 1656 he was a justice of Henrico. He was born certainly not later than 1612, for here is on record a deposition dated Dec 1682 of Mr. Wm Baugh in which he stated his age as "70 odd). His will was proved in Henrico Apr 1687; legatees: his son-in-law John Howlett, son John Baugh (to whom he gives his seal ring), grandson John Baugh, Katherine Jones and son James Baugh. His son Wm Baugh, Jr. died before him. In August 1678 is recorded a list of cattle belong to Mary and Pricilla, orphans of Mr. Wm Baugh, deceased. In Apr 1681, Wm Baugh, Sr., gentleman of Henrico, made a deed conferring to his granddaughter, Priscilla Baugh, now the wife of William Farrar, a tract of land which he had, in 1668, given to his grandson, Wm Baugh, and in 1674 to said Priscilla.

It appears from various depositions that the son John Baugh was born in 1641 or 1642. In 1693 he conveyed to his brother James, a tract of land, which had been patented by their father, Wm Baugh, Sr. From a deposition, it appears James was born in 1658.

Thomas Baugh was the son of John Baugh and grandson of Rowland Baugh, Esquire, of Twining, in the County of Worcester. (footnote) - Va Magazine. V. 19, 193 mentions Wm Baugh, late of London, now gone in VA (5 Jun 1639). Stanard adds this is probably Wm Baugh who was born about 1610 and was a justice in Henrico County in 1656.

The immigrant William Baugh was born in England and came to Virginia 1638-39 with a son William, Jr. He married at least twice after arriving. He died by 1687. I am descended from a son James Baugh born 1655, mother unknown. He lived in Henrico County, Virginia. Much has been written about him and most Baugh lines do go back to this William.
