| Notes |
- Tradition has it that sometime after George D. Diuguid, Jr. married
Elizabeth "Betty" Christian, they moved to Calloway Co., Ky with their
sons, Christian and Willima Henry Diuguid. Not long after their arrival,
George D. Diuguid passed away, at chich time his widow, Betty Christian,
wrote her brother-in-law, Sampson Diuguid, in Virginia and asked him to
come to Kentucky to get her and her two sons and bring all of them back to
Virginia. This he did immediately and upon their return to Virginia they
stopped at Ganly Bridge in what is today West Virginia. While there
Christian Diuguid contracted measles and lived but three days. After his
burial they continued on to Lynchburg, VA, where Mary Elizabeth
(Christian) Diuguid, her son William Henry Diuguid, and Sampson Diuguid
lived until William Henry Diuguid returned to Calloway Co., KY in 1845 at
the age of 25 years. Soon after his arrival he married Catherine Malinda
Churchill and made Murray, KY his permanant home. By profession he was a
skilled carpenter and cabinet maker, producing a number of finely made
pieces of furniture for family and friends in Murray, KY.
