Person:Mark Dugger (3)

Mark Dugger was born ca 1797/1798 in Tennessee, probably Carter County. He is a proven son of Julius A. Dugger, and even the circumstantial evidence is slight, but Robert T. Nave was of the opinion that Mark was Julius’ son, and it does fit.

Mark Dugger married Nelly Turner on 4 Jan 1823 in Pulaski Co., KY.

He was listed on the 1830 census in Pulaski Co., KY, the only Dugger there at that time. Analysis:

• Pulaski Co., KY page 5 Mark Duger 2000010000000-0100100000000
• 1 male 30-39 (1790/1800)=Mark Dugger (c1798)
• 2 males 0-4 (1825/1830)=1-William Dugger (c1827) son; 2-Unknown
• 1 female 20-29 (1800/1810)=Nelly Turner Dugger (1800/10) wife
• 1 female 5-9 (1820/1825)=Surilda Jane Dugger (c1828) daughter

Mark was listed on the 1840 census in Pulaski Co., KY, still the only Dugger there at that time. Analysis:

• Pulaski Co., KY page 294 Maston Dugger 1120001000000-0101010000000

I wasn’t able to find Mark Dugger on the 1850 census anywhere. He was in Cumberland Co., KY in 1860 and back in Pulaski by 1870.
