Selah, It's bad enough that my grandmother, Lucy Bugg, d/o John Bugg and Lucy Pennington, was lost for over two-hundred years in Kentucky history (and in Virginia and beyond) because compilers of early family history failed to check John Bugg's will and published a lineage that excludes my grandmother and her sister, Elizabeth. Now, I am dismayed to see that her name is "Boog" in these important records. I'll post Lucy Bugg's line, and also the wills for John Bugg, and for Sir. Thomas, William and Edward Pennington.
