RUSSELL COUNTY BAUGHS
Marcellus Baugh
Marcellus Baugh (b. 4 February 1812, Garrard
County, Ky.), a son of Abraham Baugh Jr. and
Martha Johnson, married Permelia Stapp/Stepp on
14 November 1832 in Russell County, Ky. 57 Baugh
lived in Russell County, where he served as a magistrate
and justice of the peace. In those capacities, he
performed several marriage ceremonies in 1852 and
1853. 58 Baugh served in the Union Army during the
Civil War before settling in Cumberland County,
where he became a minister.
Baugh is listed in the 1860 Census of Cumberland
County as 48 (b. Ky.), living in Burkesville. Also in
the household were his wife Parmelia (b. Ky.), 52;
William D., 24; Sarah Jane, 23, school mistress;
Simon, 20, farmer; Elisha, 17; Mary, 14; Elizabeth,
14; and Marcellus Jr., 11. All the children were born
in Kentucky, and William D., Mary, Elizabeth, and
Marcellus Jr. attended school within the year. Living
next door to Baugh was Sarah S. Maxey (b. Va.), 89,
who may have been a relative.
Marcellus and Permelia’s children, all of whom
were born in Russell County, were Abraham (b.
about 1834), Sarah J. (b. about 1836), William D.
(b. about 1838), Simeon (b. about 1840), Elisha (b.
about 1842), Elizabeth and Mary (twins, b. about

From Logan County, Kentucky (History) (1976)
Bartley Taylor Fleming and Jemima Mary Moore were
married on 19 February 1874. Bartley (b. 22 July 1853)
was a son of Mary Frances “Polly” Baugh and David
Love Fleming. Jemima was a daughter of William Abner
Moore Jr. and Patsy Jane Johnson. Bartley and Jemima
were the parents of Lillie Frances, William Rufus, Verna
Marshall, Sidney Ross, Thenia Ophelia, Quincy Elvin
“Jake,” and Eula May.
somehow connected to those in Garrard and Madison
counties. In his research, Deis documents the fact that
these people were named Bach before settling in the
United States. The named was anglicized as Baugh.
Hence there is no known connection between this
group from Germany and the other Baugh families
who trace their roots back to William Baugh, Sr. who
arrived in the United States in 1639 from England.

site under the Virginia Roots section. 60

The Wrights apparently traveled with the Baugh family to
Laurens County, S.C., and later to Barren County, Ky. At one
time the family lived in Frederick County, Va.
