Some researchers believe Nancy's last name may have been Campbell. Robert and Nancy lived in Washington, VA on the south side of the Middle Fork of the Holston River. In 1797, they are found in Carter, TN until 1811 when they moved to Roane , TN where they both died. On the 1772 Fincastle tax records found in Botetourt, VA, Robert, who just turned age 21, is declared by his father, Robert Crow, to be his son.
Robert served in the Revolutionary War. He enlisted in 1777 for three years as a private in Captain Joseph Crockett's Company, 7th Virginia Regiment, Virginia Line. He marched from Fincastle, VA to Valley Forge, PA to Monmouth Courthouse, NJ where he fought in the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse. He then went to White Plains, NY. In July 1779, he was given an early discharge for apprehending three deserters. Robert applied for a war pension on Oct, 1819. In 1822, Robert stated his wife, age 67, was nearly blind and that he was old and very infirmed and indigent and incapable of supporting himself by his own labor.
(Robert Crow's ancestry has been traced to John Crow, Esquire, Adventurer, of Waterford, Ireland, who booked passage for 100 persons from London, England to Virginia in the early 1600s. "Descendants From First Families of Virginia and Maryland," by Maude Crowe, Copyright - 1978.)

In 1850, Lewis and Susan gathered their belongings and family into a covered wagon and headed west. Susan was several months pregnant with Jacob at the time, and he was born while still on the trail. Evidently, premature, Jacob was so small and sickly at birth that it was said his head would fit inside a teacup. They remained in Arkansas only a short time and returned to Shady Valley to live. Jacob was of hearty stock. Although small at birth, he lived 83 years in Johnson County.
Celia and George Washington Garland died young.

Individual Note: [family tree.FTW]
Nancy Ann Brown Pearce was a widow with 8 children and William had 8 motherless children when they married. Together they had 7 children. William was a prosperous farmer and operated a grist mill and a saw mill. He was able to feed, clothe and educate 23 children. He built an unusually long dining table and benches which seated the 25 family members.
The first settler in Siam Valley, Carter County, TN was Teter Nave. A few months later, William Dugger and his brother- in-law, Drury Goodwin, settled adjacent to Nave. William and Drury were soldiers in the Revolutionary War, in which Drury was killed.
Several of the Dugger's left for Indiana during the 1860's Civil War time frame. Mary Ann Sabra Dugger apparently accompanied some of her brothers to Vermillion Co, Indiana.
Story as told by Alexander F. Dugger (born 1884) about how William Dugger's three sons by his first wife ran away from home when they were still fairly young (15 and under). It was probably around 1805-1808 time frame:
"... Three boys Julius, James and Mark Dugger had a stepmother and lived in Tenn. A mischievous boy or boys in the community committed some sort of misdemeanor and laid it on to the eldest one or the Duggers boys a fifteen year old lad. His father a strict disciplinarian took his son to task. The boy denied the blame, Later the conversation at a woman`s meeting (probably a quilting) centered on the mis-deed and all blamed the Dugger boy. Again, the father called his fifteen year old son and quizzed him. The son denied guilt. The father told him that circumstances pointed to him and that he was going to whip him. The son said to his father, "If you whip me it will be the last time that you will ever whip me." The father whipped him. At the evening meal no boys showed up, when they failed to appear by late bed time, the father and his neighbors searched the forest throughout the night for the boys. In the early morning hours the father stood on a large log and called loudly to his boys without reply. The log was hollow and the boys were spending the night in it, yet they did not answer the fathers calls. The boys found their way through the forest to what is know Knox county, Kentucky and their father never located them until all were grown and married.
Records in Bloomfield the co seat of Greene co. show that a Julius and Mark Dugger filed on land in 1816. Thus two of the run-away boys and the widow the third one were located in Green co. in the early 1800`s...."
