Misbehavin’ Margaret (Marg2)

In reviewing the family history of Hugh Duggan b. around 1740 (Hugh1) and his wife Margaret
Wilson (Marg1), we try to place likely descendants in the family tree. There was a Margaret
Duggan who was a member of the Bethel Baptist Church of Sevier County, TN in the early 1800s,
and who seemed to give the church folk cause for distress from time to time. She is called “Sister”
Margaret, so we assume that she was at least a young adult. Even if church membership could
be obtained at a young age, she had not only been admitted to the Church, the behavior for
which she was called to account suggests some age of accountability.

Under Baptist doctrine, a Letter of Dismission is still used. Membership in a Baptist church may be obtained
by Experience and Baptism (the local church body accepts that the individual wishing to unite with the church has
Poor Margaret! It took more than a year to get back in good graces!! Looking at the significance
of these entries… It started when Margaret and the Nichols family moved.3 She seems relatively
young. Under what circumstances would her family let her move away, for almost two years?
The Nichols might have been related. Maybe Mary Nichols was an older sister, or a cousin to
Margaret. Although the church minutes have Margaret returning, there are no references to the
Nichols family coming back. Maybe Margaret was sent back because of her ‘misbehavior’ at Clear
Fork… was it more than the Nichols could handle? There was a Clear Fork Baptist Church in
Cumberland County, KY at that time. The location is now in Clinton County, KY. 4

So who was this Margaret Duggan? Hugh1 had a daughter Marg2, but she was presumably
married and having children by 1806. Were there other Margaret Duggans of an adult age at that
time who might be candidates to claim the title Misbehavin’ Margaret Duggan (MMD)? What
follows is a look at all known Margaret Duggans of that era and locales that might be of interest.5

Families often moved in groups, so their Church memberships moved in clusters. Daniel Duggan and John
Selvidge, and their wives, moved to Monroe County, TN at the same time, to start a new church. Ann Baughman
Duggan and some of her daughters left together when they later moved to Monroe Co. Here the Nichols family and
Margaret (presumably a single person or a widow) left Sevier County together. In theory Margaret could have been
a Widow, but DNA evidence (shown hereafter) suggests strongly that she was a Duggan. In that case, why would a
young single woman be moving with another family? Unless she was a domestic, the Nichols were likely related
(perhaps Mary was an older Duggan sister), or David or Mary may have been a cousin, or other kin. To date, no
further record of the Nichols has been confirmed.

http://explorekyhistory.ky.gov/items/show/544. Church minutes are available online, but I found no record of
Margaret or the Nichols during the 1806-1810 period. http://usgwarchives.net/ky/cumberland/churches.html.

Keep in mind that women lied about their ages If a daughter was unmarried too long, her mom would often
shave years off her age (at least to the census taker, and probably in her real life); Middle aged women tended to
get younger, with each census, then sometimes their age would be restored in later years (perhaps when others
were reporting for them, or maybe when it just didn’t matter so much or they became proud of their longevity). And
of course sometimes they just were not sure how old they were, and thus it was always an estimate. In any event,
when we try to reconstruct these families we do the best we can, using census data, marriage dates, DOB for first
born child…It is sometimes more art than science, and we can have different thoughts on ages of our ancestors.
Hugh1’s wife was Margaret. His son Robt2 married Margaret Dunn. Hugh1 and Marg1 had had a
daughter Margaret, and six sons of which four were known to have had a daughter Margaret.
The sons will be referred to by abbreviations with the ‘2’ suffix to show them as second
generation (e.g., Hugh2 is Hugh Duggan, son of Hugh1).

1-Margaret Wilson Duggan, born @ 1742. It is doubtful that it was Marg1 dancing her way across
the counties as late as 1808. She would have been close to 70 when MMD was getting herself in
trouble. I’m going to pass over grandma.

2-Margaret Dunn Duggan, born @ 1771. She married Robt2 in 1792, and by 1808 she had 5
children… There is no record that she or Robt2 ever attended this Baptist church, but MMD
sounds like a single gal.

3-Margaret Duggan Martin, b. @ 1785. She was the only known daughter of Hugh1. She is the
right age, and since both of her parents were likely deceased by the time of MMD’s travails, she
may be our best candidate, but her oldest child, Nancy Martin Shrader, was reportedly born in
1806, so it looks initially like she would have been Margaret Martin by about 1805. Let’s put her
on the shelf for the moment.

4-Margaret Duggan Phariss, b. 1798. She was the daughter of Robt2. She married Wm W Phariss
in 1818 in Sevierville, moved to Missouri before 1830. They returned to TN for a short while
around 1850, then moved to Texas where she died around 1868. This Margaret had been lost to
the family until the Project found evidence of her and tracked her history with William Phariss,
thus she had been presumed to have died young by earlier researchers. But having revived her,
and found her history, we can feel confident that she wasn’t MMD. Aside from the fact that her
parents never attended the subject church, and were still living and likely able to corral her, she
was simply too young in 1804 to have been traveling about with other church members.

5-Margaret Duggan Cook, b. @1800. Taking the census records as a whole, she was likely born
around 1800. In 1830 she would have been just 30; 1840 she could have been 39, thus still in her
30s. She was the daughter of Hugh2. She probably married William Cook around 1820. Even if
she was born as early as 1795, she seems too young to be MMD. Her parents, Hugh2 and Sarah
were living during this time, and there is no record that they ever attended this Baptist Church.

6-Margaret Duggan Caldwell, b. @1804. She was the daughter of Wm2. Her husband was born
around 1804. Assuming she was born any time near when he was, there just isn’t enough room
here to push her age back far enough to make her MMD.

7-Margaret Duggan Rhodes, b. @ 1805. She was John2’s daughter, and likely the youngest of the
Margarets on this list. There is no scenario that adds enough years to her age for this to be right.

The daughters of Robt2, John2, Wm2 and Hugh2 were all too young to have been MMD. We
don’t know whether Daniel had a daughter Margaret, but he was one of the youngest sons (oral
history says he was born over the Atlantic, on the way from Ireland). If he was born around 1775,
and had his first child around 1793, a lost daughter could have been born no earlier than 1794,
thus she would have been only 12 in 1806, 14 when she ‘cleared’ her name. And it was Dan2 that
was sent to talk to her. It seems awkward that the church would be sending her Daddy to talk to
her…. Wouldn’t she be in his home, and wouldn’t he have already been involved? It seems more
likely that MMD was a young Margaret whose father was not living, leaving the men of the church
– which likely included her brother -- to assume more of a community responsibility.

In the end we circle back to Marg2, daughter of Hugh2, as the only “Margaret” known to us who
seems to fit. The only impediment is the assumption that she married before 1806, because her
first child was born then. By the time of the 1830 census Marg2 was married to William Martin
and they had a houseful of children. The oldest, Nancy Martin Shrader was reportedly born in
1806, the year MMD was in Kentucky. There is a gap between Nancy and the next, born in 1811.
Was Nancy from a first marriage for William? No. The DNA comparisons confirm that Nancy was
Marg2’s child, because Nancy’s descendants have strong ties to the Duggan family. Most have
assumed that Marg2 married Wm Martin in 1805 or 1806 because of Nancy’s year of birth, not
because of a marriage record. But if MMD was Marg2, then they married no earlier than 1810 --
because she was still being referred to by her maiden name in the church records. If we consider
the possibility that Marg2 may have had Nancy before marrying Wm Martin, then she is most
likely MMD, marrying William Martin in 1810 and having her second child, Elizabeth, in 1811.

Nancy Martin Shrader b. 1806, wife of Joseph Shrader. What do we know about her? She is
consistently included as the oldest daughter of Marg2 -- Margaret Duggan Martin (1788-TN) and
William Martin (1780-TN). Wm Martin received a land grant in 1825 for 30 acres, adjacent to his
original tract, bordered in part by land owned by George Fox. William Martin was a farmer,
settled in Sevier County, and didn’t move around once he arrived, although the date that he
settled there is not certain. He was a few years older than Margaret, likely born around 1780.

1. Census Records
• 1830-TN-Sevier-117
o Wm Martin was listed in his 40s with a wife (Marg. Duggan Martin) in her
40s. Wm was probably almost 50 by then, and that Margaret was likely 42-
45. Nancy and Elizabeth, the oldest two daughters, were out of the house by
then. Remaining in the household were:
▪ two males 5-9 (Harold-1825, Carroll-1822),
▪ two males 10-14 (Robert and Wm, perhaps twins, both born around 1816),
▪ one female under 5 (Margaret Adeline)
▪ two females 15-19 (possibly Tempy-1815, and Ann-1814)
o Joseph Shrader appears on the same page (as do his parents and brother).
Joseph is then in his 20s, with a wife in her 20s (Nancy Martin Shrader), two
sons under 5 (Geo Carroll & Casper) and one daughter under 5 (Edna J). His
wife was therefore presumably born before 1810, and with three children,
likley she was at least 24 (born by 1806).
o As a point of reference, also on that page are families with surnames: Webb,
Bird, Layman, McMahan, Selvidge, Derrick. This appears to be near the
original Duggan land grants, where the Selvidge, Bird, and Layman families
were their neighbors as well.
o This is the last census record of Margaret Duggan Martin for her husband, so
both presumedly died by 1840.
 • 1840-TN-Sevier-161A
o Joseph Shrader is listed, in his 30s with a wife in her 30s. In his home are
▪ 2 Males 10-14 (George Carroll-1828, Casper-1830)
▪ 1 Male under 5 (Samuel 1837)
▪ 1 Female 10-14 (Edna-1827)
▪ 2 Females 5-9 (Barbara-1832 and Marg. 1834)
▪ 1 Female under 5 (Elizabeth-1839)
Nancy’s place of birth is not listed here.
o They are surrounded by many of the same families/surnames as in 1830.
• 1850-TN-Sevier-Family 151 – Nancy is shown as born in TN, age 43
• 1860-TN-Sevier-Family 262 – Nancy is shown as born in KY, age 53
• 1870-TN-Sevier-Family 203 – Nancy is show again, born in KY, age 63
• 1880-Tn-Sevier-Family 88 – Again, Nancy says she was born in KY, age 73

Nancy Martin Shrader is consistent about her age, and consistent about her place of birth.
(Perhaps that first year her husband answered for her, simply not knowing, or perhaps Nancy
was enlightened about her birth story after 1830. Regardless, from 1860 on she was consistent
about time and place of her birth. Her family erected a tombstone for her, showing her date of
birth as 2 May 1806. Nancy was the third generation to live in Sevier County, TN, where all of her
siblings were born. Listing her own place of birth as Kentucky for three decades can’t be an error.

This information throws new light on the review of Misbehavin’ Margaret, of the Bethel Baptist
Church, Sevier, TN. There is simply no reason for Nancy to have been born in KY, unless she was
the daughter of MMD, born while she was ‘away’ -- and if viewed in that light, the most logical
scenario is that Margaret found herself in the family way, and had this daughter while she was in
KY. Her mom was older, probably long deceased by then, which would leave the brothers to
watch over her. She would have been in old enough to have Nancy by 1806.

Nancy says she was born in KY in May 1806. This could have been 1807, based on census records.
MMD’s request for Letter of Dismission was made in August 1806. The group could have left for
Kentucky first, then later decided to stay, writing the church to ask for the dismission.

If Marg2 was not yet with Mr. Martin in 1806, then this theory makes sense. There was a five-
year gap between Nancy and Elizabeth, the second child. They could have lost a baby or two… or
they may simply have been married later—around 1810, after Marg2 straightened things out with
her family and the church. Since the Sevier Co. records burned, the first child’s birth date is
typically the best way to estimate a marriage date. But if their first child together was Elizabeth,
that changes everything…. William Martin may have married Margaret after her return, and little
Nancy may have simply taken his last name.

Nancy was not Mr. Martin’s child by a prior marriage. We don’t yet know whether Nancy’s
descendants have Martin segments of DNA, but we do know that Nancy’s descendants have very
strong DNA ties to the other desc. of Marg2 and to other Duggan-Wilson descendants. The DNA
evidence makes it clear that if Nancy was a half-sibling to the other Martin children, she was
Margaret’s child. Perhaps someone from Nancy’s descendants would like to take on the task of
isolating DNA Matches from Marg2 descendants with a focus on mapping Martin matches, to see
if Nancy’s descendants share those matches. We know they share the Duggan matches.

Some descendants of Marg2 with DNA tests are charted below. These participants match other
Duggan descendants. Those with a Yellow box below were uploaded to GedMatch.com at the
time of this review. (If the name at the bottom of a column remained in a tan box, the kit was on
Ancestry, but on GedMatch at the time of the DNA review.)

The following are Carroll Martin’s descendants, along with the children of Wm Shrader (above) who

Theresa Hawse Wegner Hallie Manning Dan Stubblefield

The last grouping are descendants of Elizabeth, who married John Williams,
And finally Temperance Duggan Wadsworth (not fully proven as a daughter).

So, how does DNA help confirm whether Nancy was (or wasn’t) a Duggan? Look first at the extent of
matching between her descendants’ kits and those of the Duggans. Keep in mind other factors… first
cousin marriages exaggerate the expected matching. Being a generation closer roughly doubles the
expected matching. TK is three generations closer than Molly Simmons, so it makes sense that he should
have far more matches, and larger ones, than her. Finally, more participants from descendants of Dan2
and GWm3, compared to John2 and Hugh2, will mean there are more matches with those with more kits
in the pool, so focus more on the quality of the matches, and whether they appear to be triangulating,
rather than merely on the number of matches.

Start with some kits from Marg2 descendants other than through Nancy, a pattern is clear.

Thomas K. Burnett is a descendant of Ann Martin Webb. It makes sense that he would match Margaret’s
descendants well (pink), for they would be more closely related than descendants of Marg2’s siblings, but
he also has nice matches, several triangulating, with various descendants of GWm3 (dark green), Hugh3-
MJ3 (orange), Dan2 (light Blue), Hugh2 (dark Blue) and Wm2 (light green). The Chr-12 match, running
from segments 1-6 (1,000,000 to 6,000,000) maps out to Duggan-Wilson in origin — for Hugh1 and wife
are the most recent common ancestors (MRCA) shared by all of these groups. There is a Chr-1 match, a
Chr-11 match also crossing through the lines of multiple sons of Hugh1. The matches may be Duggan or
Wilson in origin, but those that flow through multiple lines offer the most convincing evidence of the
Duggan-Wilson origin.

The chart above lists matches that Mollyanne (also a descendant of Ann Martin) had with other Duggans.
She was a 9th generation descendant (from Hugh1), more remotely tied than ThomasK, so it would be
expected that her matches would be fewer. Still, she had some nice matches to other Duggan lines that
TK didn’t have!

This often happens. On any given segment, one child may receive DNA (from the parent who was a Duggan
descendant) from that parent’s “Duggan”side strand, and another child may receive – for that same
segment – DNA from that parent’s other strand – from the non-Duggan side.

A more careful review of these matches (for Mollyanne) is needed to confirm that she and her matches
are not matching on other shared “collateral” lines, but this offers a feel for what to look for. Here Molly
matches descendants of Dan2, Hugh2 and the Hugh3 (Wm2)-MJ3(Robt2) union. This indicates the MRCA
as Duggan-Wilson.

Next were some kits from Elizabeth Martin Webb descendants.

Note that the kit for KT is disproportionately packed with matches to Dan2 descendants… this
suggests one or more collateral line matches. KT’s family tree confirms two McMahan lines,
which explains the extra matching to descendants of Dan3 (son of Dan2, who first married a
McMahan). KT also has large matches to descendants of Dan2’s second wife, a Selvidge, including
a shared Chr-16 segment, which is known to be a Medlock/Matlock segment that binds the
Selvidge-Duggan group and other Medlock/Matlocks, suggesting upline Medlock ties for Eunice
Selvedge, second wife of Dan2, and her sister Jean Selvedge, who married Frank2 Duggan and
who has several descendants through GW3-1810 matching here. This suggests a collateral line
match that intersects with Medlock. That is the art of the work… parsing out what is a Duggan
match, and what is something else.

Generally a person’s own line will have better matches – both in number and quality—assuming an equal
pool of kits to match with. That makes sense… for the MRCA is a generation closer to both kits.
Descendants of Ann3 (dau of Marg2) and Eliz3 (dau of Marg2) are most closely related at the Martin-
Duggan generation… one generation closer than matches with whom the most recent common ancestor
is at the Duggan-Wilson level – descendants of Marg2 (whether Ann3, Eliz3, Nancy3…etc) and descendants
of Dan2, or Hugh2, or John2, etc. Thus, the quality and quantity of matches with Dan2 descendants in KT’s
match list suggested strongly that there were collateral line matches.
One last kit from Elizabeth’s descendants—Nancy Baker matches Marg2’s descendants best, as expected,
but she still shows strong ties to Dan2and Wm2 clans as well.

So, we know from this that Marg2 was a Duggan because of the strong ties her descendants have to
several Duggan lines. But let’s go back to Nancy. We have not yet looked at kits for her descendants. Was
Nancy Martin Shrader even a child of Marg2 – was she a Duggan descendant?

If Nancy was a Martin but NOT a Duggan (if she was William’s child from a prior marriage), then her
descendants would have Pink matches (she would match descendants of her half-siblings), but she
would match virtually none of the other lines Duggan lines, absent a collateral line match. But that isn’t
the case. She has some very nice matches with her Duggan cousins. In fact, the one oddity about the
matches for Nancy’s descendants is that there is less matching to other Marg2 descendants – it is
somewhat proportionate to the other lines. This may support the possibility that Nancy was a half-sister
of the other children, and not actually a child of Wm Martin—so they have their ‘Martin’ matches
showing up in the pink area, but she may not.
Here are match lists for some descendants of Nancy Martin Shrader that have uploaded to GedMatch:

 Summary

Nancy Martin Shrader was born in KY, the same year MMD left for KY, and since Marg2 is the
ONLY Margaret Duggan who is really the right age, to be MMD, it looks like Marg2 is our
Misbehavin’ Margaret Duggan after all.

The matches between descendants of Marg2 and various Duggan lines makes it clear that Marg2
was a Duggan – Marg2 was not a Duggan widow. The matches between descendants of her
daughter Nancy and the Duggans make it clear that Nancy was a Duggan as well – not a child
from Wm Martin’s first marriage, or a first marriage of Margaret to a Duggan.

It looks like Marg2 became pregnant, before or after leaving for KY with the Nichols family6 and
had Nancy before she married William Martin. She was still known as Margaret Duggan after her
return, as late as January 1810, which suggests that Marg2 did not marry William Martin until
1810, which would explain the gap between Nancy and Elizabeth, who was born in 1811.

The time gap between the first two children and the fact that Nancy’s descendants match other
Marg2 descendants at a lesser rate than we would expect if they were full siblings, suggests that
Nancy was a half sibling to the other children of Marg2. Since all other Marg2 descendants have
the benefit of both shared maternal and shared paternal segments—they should match about
twice as much—and the lesser matches supports the notion that MMD had Nancy before she
married William Martin.

A more thorough study, yet to be done, should test the Martin matches in the other children of Marg2,
locate and map those matches, and see whether any of them show up in descendants of Nancy Martin
Shrader.

Credit to Linda Arnold for noting the references to Margaret in the church minutes, ‘naming’ her, and
contributing to the research on this Duggan descendant.

The Duggan DNA Project combines traditional research and DNA evidence to work out the mysteries
and dead ends on the family tree of Hugh Duggan b. 1740, of Sevier Co. TN. The more descendants who
participate, more data we have and the more segments we can map over time for our Duggan ancestors
and maternal lines. There are different levels of participation. Contact US for more information on how
your DNA kit can be used in these comparisons!

I have long wondered why her brothers would let Marg2 simply leave Tennessee with another family.
Perhaps she was acting as a domestic for them. Another possibility was that Mrs. Nichols was an older
sister, or that she (or her husband) was a cousin. I was not able to find the Nichols family after they left
Sevier Co. Perhaps they will find us at some point.
