Among the grandchildren are Mary Barrington Sugg, daughter of Josiah Sugg and his wife: Elizabeth Aldridge, who married Richard Dixon. 1854-1770 = 84years at death--Martha Aldridge Sugg. Josiah Sugg and Eliza Aldridge are deceased P.A.D's Grandparents Note" My Grandmother Peninah Adeline Dixon (P.A.D.) 1848-1937 thought she remembered this Grandmother. M.A.S. Grannie would have been 6 years old at this date. She didn't remember her Grandmother: Elizabeth Aldridge Sugg 1794-1838 at all as she had died before she was born. Perhaps she really did remember the death of her Great- grandmother. Martha Aldridge Sugg' children of 6 yrs usually remember the unusual. My grandmother was the daughter of Mary Barrington Sugg and Richard Dixon. ( have pictures of Grannie's parents. M.A. S. 1770-1854 Great Grandmother)" Ima Mewborn
