About the year 1715 Thomas Sugg married Sarah Eldridge/Aldridge of Northumberland Co. VA. She being born about 1698..daughter John Aldridge and Dorthy Smith

Thomas Sugg, son of George and Sarah Sugg was born about 1690.

From the Tithable List of Norfolk County, Virginia on 10 June 1730, Thomas was living next door to his father. This was the location being from the Suggs Mill to Deep Creek.

By November 31, 1731, the Norfolk County Tithables gives his location between Mr. Sugg's Mill and Mr. Bachelder's Mill on the west side of the Southern Branch. When Captain Willis Wilson took the Tithable List for Norfolk County from Deep Creek to the Bridge and above Bridge to Northwest landing on June 10, 1736. Thomas Sugg was listed with negro in which was most likely Harey (Harry) who was listed in the Jun 10, 1735 Tithable List for Thomas Sugg.

Although information on his early life is scare, he is believed to be the Thomas Sugg who received a Grant of 400 acres (Deed Book 16, Pg. 229) in Anson County, North Carolina in 1758. Proof that Thomas was in Anson County by October 23, 1759 is found in a record (Deed Book 19, Pg. 23) in which he appoints Solomon Hanbury as his Attorney to dock the initial of 75 acres of land he received from his father, so the land could be sold to John Mercer. Excerpts from George Sugg's Will of September 2, 1734 are quoted in the document. Witnesses were Calib Wallis and Joel Sugg.

On the same day (October 23, 1759) Thomas sells back to his brother-in-law and sister, Jacob and Priscilla Allen (Deed Book 19, Pg. 23) the Mill and 10 acres left to Priscilla by her father. She was listed in her father's Will as Priscilla Maund. However, the next year on March 30, 1735, she leased the Mill and land to Thomas and gave her name as Priscilla Caton.

This Anson County, North Carolina document dated October 23, 1759 (Deed Book 19, Pg. 23) explains William Maund, the grandson of William Maund, Senior reference to "I given to Mother Prissila Allin" in his Will dated February 7, 1761 (Will Book 7, Pg. 27) in Edgecombe County, North Carolina.

Thomas Sugg may have originally settled in Bladen County, North Carolina after he left Virginia. On January 10, 1754 Thomas Sugg, called a carpenter, sold 300 acres in Bladen County, North Carolina to William Owen of Duplin County, North Carolina. A Thomas Sugg had received 400 acres on a branch of the Pee Dee River on July 1, 1763 (Deed Book 2, Pg. 206).

Anson County, North Carolina Tax List of 1763 shows a George Sugg, Thomas Sugg, Thomas Sugg, Jr. and Rasha Sugg. Rasha and George are polled by themselves with 1 Poll Tax where Thomas Sugg and Thomas, Jr. were together with 2 Poll Tax persons.

Thomas received 640 acres in 1763 "on the middle of Little River" (Deed Book 18, Pr. 402) and Deed Book 15, Pg. 497). Spenser also bought 100 acres granted to Thomas Sugg on July 1 1758 from George Sugg and his wife, Saray, in 1767 (Deed Book H-I, Pg. 159). Thomas Sugg and wife, Mary, had deeded the land to George on February 2, 1769. No explanation for the discrepancies in the dates can be given; they are so recorded on the original documents.

Apparently Thomas Sugg, Sr. grandson of George and Sarah Sugg married a woman named Mary, maiden name unknown. The dates are such that one could conclude the possibility of all these records being of the same man and his son's. From records so far unearthed in Anson County, North Carolina, it would appear the children of Thomas Sugg, Sr. and Mary include: George, Harbert, Horatio, Raosha, Richard, Robert and Thomas Jr. The Ann, wife of Thomas Franklin could be a daughter.

Thomas Sugg, son of George and Sarah Sugg may have been the one who received and Land Grant in New Hanover County, North Carolina in 1749. The same Thomas who was named a Vestryman in Saint Gabriel' Parish on March 17, 1749, when Duplin County was cut off from New Hanover County. Then it is possibly that this could have been the same man who was later in Anson County, North Carolina.

A Thomas Eldridge Sugg is mentioned in Duplin County on April 14, 1752, selling to Samuel Eldridge (Deed Book 1, Pg. 130) "land granted to Thomas Sugg by patent on 13 April 1749". Whether or not the middle name "Eldridge" should correctly be applied to this man it is very questionable. It appears that perhaps the Elderidge has been crossed through and it is possible that the person making the record mixed up the surnames of the two men involved. Some have also said that William Aldridge in North Cumberland County, North Carolina listed a daughter Sarah, wife of Thomas Sugg. However, this report is in error. The document cited for January 24, 1724 (WB 1718-1726, Pg. 359) list daughter, Sarah Sugg.

On the day after Thomas Sugg and Samuel Eldridge made their deal, Thomas Sugg sold to Tomas Alltaman (Deed Book 1, Pg. 132) land granted to "said" Sugg by patent April 13, 1749.

Thomas Sugg and wife Frances sold land to James Moore on April 29, 1769, land that Thomas purchased from William Magee on March 31, 1757 (Deed Book G, Pg. 186-188). When Thomas purchased the land from Magee he was listed as Thomas Sugg, Jr.

On November 15, 1753, a Thomas Sugg (more than likely son of George Sugg and Sarah Ives) of Duplin County, North Carolina received a 320 acre land grant. Could it be that the same man (Thomas, son of George Sugg and Sarah Ives) who is mentioned in the settlement of the Estate of John Holbrook in Bertie County, North Carolina in 1744 be one in the same?

Another Thomas Sugg appears in Craven County, North Carolina in 1762, when he sells (Deed Book 2, Pg. 382) 162 acres patented to William Sugg in 1739 to Joseph Rhem. William Sugg patented 140 acres on the north side of the Trent River on Wilson's Creek (Colonial Records, Book 4, Pg. 440). Was this Thomas Sugg his son?

William Snuggs (Sugg) was on of three witnesses for the Benjamin Smith sell of 75 acres William Yearly on October 12, 1774 (Deed Book 6, Pg.39).

No factual determination has been made connecting Thomas Sugg of Duplin and the Thomas Sugg of Anson County. All records perhaps refer to the same individual or may not. Breakdown of the dates show that after 1752 in Duplin County only Thomas Sugg, Jr. and Thomas Sugg with wife, Frances are mentioned.

From this study of information it would seem possible Thomas Sugg, son of George Sugg and Sarah _ may have married a Sarah possible Aldridge/Eldridge with family consisting of possible as follows: Thomas Sugg, Sr.and Sarah children

William Sugg Kesiah Sugg who married possible a William McGee Sarah Sugg who married possible a Thomas Attmore Elizabeth Sugg who married possible a Joseph Rehem Priscilla Sugg who married Possible a Ben Atkinson Aquilla Sugg, Jr. who married Lucy Reading John Sugg, Sr. who married Elizabeth Murphry Absalom Sugg, Sr. who married possible a Vinil Bunn (Absalom and Vinil were my 5th Great Grandparents)

Aquilla, Jr., John, Sr. and Absalom, Sr. may have left the New Hanover/Duplin County, North Carolina area after their possible father, Thomas Sugg's death, where upon they settled on land granted to them in Johnston and Dobbs County, North Carolina.

Thomas Sugg was said to have married Francis Grandbury and Elizabeth Maund, as well as Sarah Eldridge. He is found on the tithable list of 1730 in Norfolk CountyÙC, Virginia. Thomas was bequethed 70 acres by his father. Other children may have been John. who married Elizabeth Murphry and Absalom who married Vinil Bunn.

On June 10, 1730, Thomas Sugg, Sr. was living next to his father, George Sugg, Sr., location from Sugg Mill to Deep Creek. Tithable List of Norfolk ÙCbÙDCountyÙC/bÙD, Virginia. Also Tithables for 1731, 1735 and 1736 show Thomas had moved, but still in Norfolk ÙCbÙDCountyÙC/bÙD. In 1759, he was in Anson ÙCbÙDCountyÙC/bÙD, North Carolina, Deed book 10, P 23. Sold property to brother-in-law and sister, Jacob Allen and Priscilla Sugg Allen.

From the Tithable List of Norfolk Co. VA on 10 June 1730, Thomas Sugg, Sr.(I) was living next door and/or adjacent to his father, George Sugg, Sr. This location being from the Sugg Mill to Deep Creek. By 31 Nov 1731 the Norfolk Co VA Tithables gives his location between Mr Sugg's Mill and Mr Bachelder's Mill, on the west side of The Southern Branch. When Captain Willis Wilson took the Tithable List for Norfolk Co VA from Deep Creek to the bridge & above the bridge to Northwest Landing on 10 June 1736. Thomas Sugg Sr (I) was listed with negro in which was most likely 'Harey' (Harry) who was listed in the 10 June 1735 List for Thomas Sugg, Sr (I). The North Carolina Grantor Index of Johnston Co NC (created from Craven Co. NC 1746) Dobbs Co NC (created from Johnston Co NC 1758) shows records of Thomas Sugg Sr (I). Please note the Grantor/Grantee Index was all that was saved from the Court House fires (two). This index shows who was there, time period, place, and who they were dealing with. County: Johnston - Book No. 1 - Grantor - Thomas Sugg - to Grantee - Samuel Eldridge - page 257 - date book was used Nov 1746 to Apr 1750. County: Johnston - Book No. 1 - Grantor - Thomas Sugg - to Grantee - Thomas Altman - page 343 - date book was used Nov 1746 to Apr 1750. Apparantly Thomas Sugg Sr (I) was in Anson Co NC yet lived in the Duplin Co NC area. Proof that Thomas Sugg Sr (I) was in Anson Co NC by 23 Oct 1759 is found in a record - Deed Book 10, page 23 - wherein he appoints Solomon Hanbury as his attorney to dock the intail of 75 acres of land he received from his father (George Sugg) so the land could be sold to John Mercer (brother-in-law of Thos Sugg). Excerpts from George Sugg's Will of 2 Sept 1734 are quoted in the document. Witnesses: Calib Wallis and Joel Sugg (son of George Sugg, Jr). On the same day 23 Oct 1759 Thomas Sugg Sr (I) sells back to his brother-in-law and sister (Jacob Allen & Priscilla'Sugg'Allen) Deed Book 1 - page 23 - the mill and 10 acres left to Priscilla in her father's will as Priscilla Maund. However the next year on 30 Mar 1735 she leased the Mill and land to Thomas Sugg Sr (I) and gave her name as Priscilla Caton (Cayton). This Anson Co NC document is dated 23 Oct 1759. Deed Book 19 - page 23 - in Edgecomb Co NC.

Note: Priscilla Sugg - dau of George Sugg and Sarah /son: Wm Maund III m. William Maund Jr/m. Mary Howell - son: Hardy Maund (1st marriage) m. Thomas Caton/Cayton (2nd marriage) no descendents m. Jacob Allen (3rd marriage) Mary, Merryman, Charles, & Gabriel m. James Johnston Sr (4th marriage) no descendants m.

Deeds of Duplin Co NC between the years 1750-1794 it should be noted that this part of Duplin Co - where Thomas Sugg Sr (I) lived is now Sampson Co NC. (Duplin created 1750 from New Hanover Co NC - Sampson created 1784 from Duplin Co NC). Thomas Sugg did not move, the county lines and/or boundary lines were changed. From Duplin/Sampson Co NC Deed Books No. 2 - pages 130/2 shows that Thomas Sugg Sr (I) is dealing with the same persons he was dealing with in the Johnston/Dobbs Co NC Records 1746/1750. That being Thomas Sugg to Samuel Eldridge - dated 15 Apr 1751. Another, Duplin/Sampson Co NC Record - Deed Book 2 - page 59 - Thomas Sugg to Thomas Alltman - Abstracts Sampson /Duplin Deeds - Bks 1 thru 3 - by Max R Peterson Jr. '15 Apr 1752'

Note by WRO: I am having trouble sorting out the lines dealing with Priscilla Sugg. I am assuming that Wm Maund III was a child of her 1st marriage and m. Mary Howell who then had son, Hardy Maund.

Thomas - b. about 1700. Since the birth year for son Thomas has been estimated as early as 1690, he may have been the son of Sarah, as shown here, the son of Miss IVES, or the son of an unknown earlier wife of George SUGG. Found on the tithable list of 1730 in Norfolk Co., VA, Thomas was bequeathed 70 acres by father. Resided in Anson Co., NC. Thomas may have married several times, one wife being Sarah ELDRIDGE, daughter of William ELDRIDGE.
