Person:David Dugger (13)

David Dugger was born ca 1790/1791 per his age (59) on the 1850 census. That census also listed his birth place as North Carolina. He was probably born in Brunswick (now Columbus) Co., NC.

His parents are not proven but it seems likely he is a son or a grandson of John Dugger (c1741). No direct proof has been seen that connects them, but David did live near and was associated with other Duggers who are probably also children of John Dugger.

On 4 Mar 1813 David Dugger married Tempy Milton in Bulloch Co., GA.

They were listed on the 1820 census in Effingham Co., GA near John Dugger (1760/70) who was probably his uncle or much older brother. (Note, this John is certainly old enough to be David's father, but he didn't name David in his Will in 1836, though David did witness it. No one witnesses a will to which they are an heir.)

David Dugger was one of the witnesses to the 16 Dec 1836 Will of John Dugger in Effingham Co., GA. David wasn't named in the Will as an heir. John is either his uncle or older brother.

On 2 Jan 1837 David Dugger was listed as the appraiser of the estate of Daniel Clanton, deceased in Bulloch Co., GA.

Tempy Milton Dugger died at some point and David married Clarissa (---) prior to 1850. It is possible they are one and the same person, but that isn't likely. There is a marriage dated 9 Jul 1840 in Jefferson Co., FL for David Duggar and Elizabeth Hurst. I don't think it is them, but it is possible. Jefferson Co., FL bordered Thomas Co., GA where several of David's relatives had moved, but I don't know that this David ever lived there.

David was listed on the 1840 census in Bulloch Co., GA.
