!NOTES:
The genealogy notes of Jason Duncon, a student at the Univ. of Nor th
Carolina which were downloaded on the internet in April, 1997, indicate that
the wife of Richard Bauguess was Nancy Jane McCarthy. "Richard Bauguess,
Sr. is said to be an Englishman who settled in Loudon Co., VA, befor ethe
Revolutionary War. He moved to Wilkes County, North Carolina, in th elate
1780s. He was married twice. First to Nancy Jane McCarthy of Ireland and
second to Keziah Rose, having a total of twenty-two children. Nanc yMcCarthy
was one of the first to be buried in Old Roaring River Baptist Churc hCemetery.
Richard "may be buried in a family graveyard on the old Osborne Bauguess
farm near Traphill. His will was dated May 27, 1809 "and was probated April
1822. The will is where Keziah Rose is mentioned so Nancy probably died before
1809. His grandson claimed that Richard lived to be over 100 years old.
Richard probably left England, passed through Ireland and marrie d his
first wife Nancy.
The Sparks Quarterly states specifically on page 3263 that the mot herof
Henry Bauguess was Keziah Rose.
The genealogy of Jason Duncan is set forth with some particularit y inthe
notes relating to his 3rd great grandfather, James Madison Bauguess,Sr. (4001).

!NOTES:
SQ pg 3283: Richard Bauguess, son of Emanuel and Milly (Sparks) Bauguess
was born about 1826. On November 2, 1879, he sold land to David Hanks. Both
of them lived in Ashe County, NC, but the land was in Wilkes County on Roaring
River and was "the land on which the said Richard Bauguess' mother lived and
died which is to be divided between the seven heirs of Manuel Bauguess and
Millie Bauguess, his wife."

SQ p 2890:

Richard J. Bauguess was born probably about 1819. He was married toFrances Ann Hurst on January 26, 1841, in Wayne County, Indiana. Shewas born about 1823 in Virginia. Richard and Frances moved to MercerCounty, Illinois. They had nine children: William Henry, Robert J.,Thomas W., Mary A., Dickson, Sarah E., Albert M., Clarinda, andDelilah.

SQ p2890:

Robert Bauguess, Jr. was born about 1826 in Wilkes County. He wasmarried to Nancy Sparks probably
about 1846. She had been born about 1826 in Ashe County, NorthCarolina, and was a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Rose) Sparks. (Seepages 1085-86 of the September 1967 issue of the QUARTERLY, Whole No.59.) When the 1850 census was taken of Wilkes County, Robert and Nancyhad a two-year-old daughter, Mary, and, in all probability, thiscouple had other children born to them later.

!NOTES:
Including William Bauguess as a son of Richard and Keziah (Rose) Bauguess
is mere speculation but is based on fairly solid assumptions. Thes ewere
made by Jason Duncan, a descendant of William through his son James Madison
Bauguess, Sr., James Madison Bauguess, Jr., John Sherman Bauguess, and his
grandparents Doris Faye Bauguess and Roy Clifford Duncan.
