My Goodness!? And a Merry Christmas to you!? Thank you so much.? That bunch is mine, all right.? A lovely gift, indeed.? Funny you should mention going westward.? I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and my grandmother (born nr. Smethwick in 1879, came to US in 1906) met someone named Baugh and mentioned that her grandmother was Caroline Baugh.? They thought it an odd coincidence and dismissed the idea that there could be any connection!? My grandmother also told me that when she was young she and her cousins would ride their bikes to Dudley Castle to see a horse trough inscribed "Baugh Brass Foundry".? Her grandfather's foundry.? We have a rotating kitchen crane Caroline Baugh's brother made for her.? It says, "To Caroline Bagggott from her brother, Silas Baugh.? Baugh Brass Foundry".? The Baugh family moved several times and ended up in Tipton.? Thank you for your help. Cheers,?

I collected several BAUGH Christenings/Marriages, you can see them at: http://www.pacefamilyhistory.info/records/baugh. In early colonial America, one of my PACE family members showed up in Virginia 1690s and the BAUGH name also showed up as well as several others from the same Shropshire parishes. The Shropshire names seemed to stick together as Virginia developed and the same names went on into Kentucky, Missouri, Texas and other places.
