This page is a collection of
information gathered
over the past few years about my Nugent ancestors.
It is very far from complete
and will continue
to have additions as they are found.
If you have Nugent ancestors as
I do,
please feel free to contact me.
Pictures would be greatly
appreciated
Robert Nugent was the first of
my family line to come
to America in the
1700's from Ireland and he soon
became a land owner in St.
Mary's County, Maryland.
George and Mahalia Nugent, siblings of
John Nugent,
whom my line of Nugents
descend from,
are children of William and
Hannah Merritt Nugent.

"Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and West Virginia,
Maryland, home to the Conoy Indians, was the location
of the English settlement of Lord Baltimore's
Maryland.
It began with the arrival of the passengers who had set
sail on the
Ark and the Dove from the Isle of Wight on November 22,
1633.
They landed at St. Clement's Island in the Potomac River
on the
southwestern side of present-day St. Mary's County on
March 25, 1634.
The date is commemorated annually as Maryland Day.
St. Mary's, the first Maryland county, was established
in 1637,
probably by an order of the Governor.
The County
was named in honor of Mary, the mother of Jesus."
John Nugent came to Shelby County,
Indiana
before 1850 with
his 2 brothers George Washington
and Jefferson and
their sister Melissa.
He is listed on the 1850
census for that county.

"The Nugent’s whose name is found both on the Silver
Creek church roll,
and some of the tombstones here, are originally from
Maryland.
From Maryland they came to Kentucky in an early day.
Three
brothers came from Kentucky to Indiana, and settled at Springville.
The
elder of these three brothers was a wheel-wright by trade,
but he soon died.
His brother, John R. then took possession of his
shop and continued the
business for a number of years.
John R. giving up the occupation of wheel-wright,
turned his attention to farming, and finally bought the farm
where Mr.
George Nugent, his son, now lives.
Here he reared quite a large family, of
whom are Conner,
Thomas, Clayborn, Jefferson, George and Richard."

*A note about Sara Ellen Brumage Nugent, who was my g
grandfathers' sister.*
When she died, she was not allowed to be buried with
her husband David Wells.
An email sent with this news clipping from a Nugent
relative said that
she was denied this right, because she was an
'"Indian".
Many of my Deal and Nugent ancestors are buried in
this same cemetery in unmarked graves.
I have stood at their graves and felt saddened that
there is nothing
over them to even acknowledge that they ever existed.
Were their relatives ashamed or afraid to mark them?
Have we changed much as a Nation?
Is prejudice still alive and well in our society?
Of course it is, only the objects of it have changed~
