History of Franklin and Pickaway Counties,  Ohio
Pub by Williams Bros.,  1880

DAVID PUGH,

father of judge John M. Pugh,  of Columbus,  and other well known
residents,  was born in Radnorshire,  South Wales,  February 8,  1769. 
He emigrated to this country in the spring of 1801,  landing in
Baltimore on the fourth of May of that year.  Here he engaged himself
profitably,  until the spring of 1802,  when he came to Ohio,  then, 
almost without exception,  a wilderness, and made a settlement in what
is now Radnor Township,  Delaware County,  so called by him in memory of
his ancestral home in Wales.  He remained there until 1815,  when he
removed to Truro Township,  Franklin County,  where he died,  on the
twenty-fourth of October,  1857,  at the good old age of eighty-eight
years,  eight months and fifteen days.  His wife,  Mrs. Jane Pugh, 
preceeded him but a few months to the grave,  dying on the eighth of
March,  next previous.  They left children as follows:  Judge John M.
Pugh, of Columbus;  David Pugh,  Andrew Pugh,  Mrs. may Shield,  and
Mrs. Jane Hutson.
