Found his name (spelled McQuown) on a list of petitioners from Rowan Co ., NC along with Georg e Howard. Petition to His Excellency Josiah Mar tin Esquire Governor and Commander in Chief i n and over the Province o f North Carolina asking him to have an amendment of the act of Assem bl y so far as to tolerate the Presbyterian Publication. (Concerning marr ying of the member s of the Presbyterian Church). From Four Generations of McKaughans in America: There are two s tories written or tol d about Hugh's life. One story states that he le ft Phoebe and the children when their twins , Jesse Alfred and Forreste r were small, presumbly to find a better place for them to live . The t wins were born on May 1, 1815. It was told that he went to Tesas to re locate near re latives, prehaps his niece, Jane Mercer Brooks Simpson, d aughter of his sister, Rebecca McKau ghan Brooks. A letter from Archib ald's son, John Wesley McKaughan, to one of his children re lates that t he family heard from his grandfather (Hugh) two or three times in the n ext few ye ars and then no more, so assumed dead around 1820. The other story relates that Hugh was known to have bought land in 1816 i n Pulaski Co., Kentu cky. While there, it is stated that he married Na ncy Riddle in 1820; then moved to Texas t o settle near his niece. Div orces were practically unheard of in this era. If there were gr ounds f or divorce, only the rich and/or influential could afford them. Whethe r or not he eve r legally divorced Phebe or just deserted his family is n ot known. Prehaps if the latter i s true, it wwas just easier for Pheb e to tell her children that their father was dead than t o try to expla in the divorce/desertion. Book 23, page 40: On 11 Sep 1812, Hugh McKaughan -- no wife signs -- l ets John Cecil (both o f Rowan Co., NC) have 75 acres on Rich Fork of A bbott's Creek next Rachel Cecil, Hoseph Alber tson & ---- Collet, for 1 00 pounds, witnessed by John Wayman & Thomas Cecil & proved by the l at ter in Feb 1814. (Said Hugh McKaughan bought this of Sherwood Kennedy) . Hugh reared his family in Guilford Co., NC but went to Texas which port ion was then Mexico . He wrote his son Archibald from Natchitoces, LA o n the border of Texas. A little later wor d was received that he was de ad. In a note from Raymond Peace, editor of "The Descendants of Silas Peace ": In the settling o f the estate of George Whitefield Pope, daughter, P hebe McKaughan, was not taken apart from h er husband as was her sister . This indicates that Hugh McKaughan is deceased. Date is 5 Oc t 1819 . He was on the tax rolls in Texas in 1845 - from Cuz of Sorts by M inniebell McKaughan P erkins From CUZ of Sorts: HUGH McKAUGHAN, named after his Uncle Hugh Mc Kaughan born in Pennsy lvania, went with his parents to what is now Sul livan County, Tennessee after the Revolutiona ry War. He went to Pulas ki County, Kentucky around 1800 with his parents where he was grante d 2 00 acres of land on the East Side of the south fork of the Cumberland R iver. He apparentl y kept his land; but he went to North Carolina wher e he married PHOEBE POPE, 29 March 1804 . Phoebe was born 7 August 178 3 in Pennsylvania, daughter of Rev. George Whitefield Pope an d Mary Ha itt. His marriage bond was co signed by his father-in-law, Rev. George W . Pope, Witn esses James Pope, the bride's brother, and Joab Brooks, br other of his sister Rebecca's husba nd, John D. Brooks. It is possible H ugh and Phoebe knew each other in Pennsylvania before the y moved south . Something happened to the marriage of Hugh McKaughan and Phoebe Pope. W hile I was in North C arolina, I read a letter telling that Hugh went t o the Dominion of Mexico (Texas) to try to g et land near kin (his niec e, Jane Mercer Brooks Simpson), when the twins were a few months ol d ( 1815). He was heard from once only so assumed dead. When we were in P ulaski County, Kent ucky doing research, we found him having his land s urveyed and getting a license to run a saw mill. In 1818, he married P OLLY RIDDLE and then they went to Texas where he was on the tax r olls u ntil 1845. If they heard from him in Texas, it was years after he had l eft North Carol ina. I feel the marriage bond had something to do with i t for it states that if he leaves hi s wife, and there are children inv olved, he would pay the state five hundred pounds, the curr ency of the d ay. Since he was nowhere to be found and since his father-in-law had c o-signed , it looks like he would be the one to pay. It was just easie r for Phoebe to say he had gon e and not heard from rather than he had l eft her. To get married legally in those days, yo u had to get a marri age bond, which meant you had to pay the state a certain amount of mone y t o take care of your children if you left them, in his case, 500 pounds. T his is why commo n law marriages were so popular. After Hugh McKaughan left North Carolina, Phoebe took her children to h er father's farm wher e they built a cabin for her down by the spring. T he foundation is still visible. They alwa ys referred to it as "Widow P hoebe's home" All their children stayed in North Carolina but Re v. Wil liam, my great grandfather.

Hugh married POPE, Phebe on 29 Mar 1804 in Rowan County, NC. Phebe (daughter of POPE, Rev. George Whitefield and HIATT, Mary) was born on 7 Aug 1783 in Guilford County, NC; died on 16 Sep 1867 in Guilford County, NC; was buried in Oak Ridge, NC. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

After Hugh's death or desertion, Phebe worked hard and raised her child ren the best she could , perhaps with help from her father. Since Hugh w as not around to pay the 500 Pounds, it is assumed that her father, as c o-signer of the marriage bond, paid that sum to the state of NC to help t ake care of the children. (If Hugh was dead, no marriage bond would ne ed to be paid. Does this mean that the second story of desertion inste ad of death is the one to be believed?) She died at the home of her son Rev. Forrester McKaughn. Forrester and h is wives (Sallie Parrish and Rebecca Perkins) are buried at A-I Cemeter y in the same plot and marked.
