Notes
Updated December 15, 2022. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):(1) William and Margaret McGaughey/y, Supplement 1991, Polly Sutton, p. 87-88.
Source includes extensive biography. "they were living in the fort there when the Revolution broke out. When his father was called out against the Indians on Clinch River in the Spring of 1778, Samuel - then 15 years of age - substituted for his father, serving under Capt. John SHELBY; that he served in the same capacity and place in Aug. 1778 under Capt. James MONTGOMERY. On 1 Mar. 1779, he volunteered for service in his own name, and the pension record shows that he served 12 months as a private in the North Carolina and Virginia Militia; four months as Lieutenant and was promoted to Captain in 1781. The total time of his service appearing in this record is 35 months. He states that he was in the battle of Tiger River, Pacolat River, Eutaw Springs and King's Mountain." At 55 years of age, with his entire family, with the possible exception of two daughters who had already married in Greeneville and his son, John, he joined his two brothers in Maury County for the long trek to Alabama, going by way of the Natchez Trace opened in 1806 and over the Tennessee River at present day Muscle Shoals, into the fertile, rolling lands of Lawrence Co., Ala."

"My father's sister, Jane, I think, married Maj. Samuel McGAUGHEY, of North Alabama. A lame son of his named William visited me several times while I lived in Rutherford, Tenn. His son, Maj. McGAUGHEY, lives in Greene Co. Tenn. and has often represented that county in the Assembly. In 1832-3, I drew up for him, which he introduced and had passed, perhaps it was 1831, strong resolutions against the United States Bank, and approving General JACKSON's policy."
