• Notes

  GEORGE McKAUGHAN: born in Pennsylvania. Went to the territory which i s now Sullivan County , Tennessee and then to Pulaski County, Kentucky w ith his parents.He married PEGGY CALDWEL L 9 November 1801, one of the f irst couples to marry in Wayne County after Pulaski County wa s divided a nd Wayne County was formed. Their original license can be found in Way ne County . It is recorded under the name of McGahan, however, if you t urn it over to where George sign ed it, he used the McKaughan spelling. T his indicates to me that the name must have been pro nounced McGahan in K entucky from the start. All their decendanls but one that we have foun d n ow spell the name McGahan, pronouncing it Mc Gann, which isn't too far o ff from the Gaeli c pronounciation of the name. Peggy was the daughter o f John Caldwell of Wayne County. George McKaughan was a farmer. The survey office in Somerset, Kentucky , shows him owning 12 5 acres of land on the west side of Sand Creek. I n the Pulaski County, Kentucky tax list inde x 1799 -1829 records Georg e Mc Kaughan under various spellings, paying taxes through 1821.
