Note

Note: George Pogue was born January 16, 1789, and when old enough assisted in clearing up the forest of the pioneer farm, attending, in the mean time, the rude subscription schools of the time. When a young man he was married to Nancy, daughter of David Davis, a native of Washington county, on Cross creek. After his marriage Mr. Pogue located for a short time on a farm adjoining the old place, and in 1836 went to Belmont county, Ohio, settling on a place near St. Clairsville. He died in 1882, his wife in 1884. Mr. and Mrs. Pogue were active members of the M. E. Church; in politics he was a Democrat prior to Jackson's administration, when he joined the Whig party, finally becoming a Republican. The children of this family were as follows: David, Robert, George W., Rebecca E., Ruth and John F., of whom only three are living: George W., Ruth (Mrs. Hugh Rogers, of Belmont county, Ohio), and Rebecca E. (wife of Griffith Lemon, living in Belmont county, Ohio).
