This was territory that had just been obtained from the Creek Indians via the Treaty of Warm Springs. (Creek Indians angered by this treaty murdered the half Scotch-Irish Creek Chief William McIntosh at his home in Carroll County, Georgia.) Thomas' land was in the Northeastern part of Butts (Strickland Road: the Old McIntosh Trail). He took with him a black boy 12 years old whose name was Fill, two horses, his tools, and household goods. (Joseph Gordon McGough once commented that his great grandfather John McGough, Thomas' father, had only one horse when he moved to Georgia.) Thomas built a log cabin and cleared a crop of corn for the year 1824. For meat he killed deer, turkeys, and many other animals that roamed the woods. An "X" on a legal document suggests that he did not know how to write. ... All of Thomas and Nancy McGough's sons served in the Confederate Army in various Georgia infantry regiments. Joseph Howard was killed at Fredericksburg, Virginia." ]

A Hugh (Hugo) McGee had married Catharina McGeough in Aghnamullen parish, Ireland, on on March 7, 1841. Witnesses to that marriage were Francis McGeough and Jacobus (James) McGee. Possibly this was an earlier marriage of the same Hugh McGee. See my page: Baptisms and Marriages in the Catholic Parish of Aughnamullen West.

"A Michael Magee, who looks to have been Hugh's son, was naturalized in Taunton and gave his birth as 15 Sep 1831, Co. Monaghan. ...

William McGough was a son of William McGough (who was born in county Down, Ireland, in about 1767) and Nancy Carson, and a grandson of Robert McGough (who was born in county Down, Ireland, in about 1725) and Sarah Matilda (Mary) Carson McGough.

Carolyn McGough Rowe in her A Glimpse of the Past: Descendants of Robert McGough 9b. 1725 Northern Ireland, at pages 198 and 234, says that this William McGough was born around 1804 in South Carolina.

(1850) James McGough, age 40, mechanic, real estate $120, born in Kentucky, farmer (M-432, roll 370, page 90, line 3). [Indexed by Ancestry.com as McGaugh. James Madison McGough was born in Christian county, Kentucky, in 1810, to John McGough and Elizabeth "Polly" Brooks; he died before the end of 1860, sometime after fathering his youngest child, Matilda, who was born in 1857. The widow, Nancy Childers McGough, and her children are listed in the 1860 census of Belle Fountain, Choctaw county, Mississippi. John McGough, the father of James McGough, was the oldest son of Robert McGough and Agnes "Nancy" McWhorter, who moved their family from Alabama to Hopkinsville, Christian county, Kentucky, in about 1809, and back to Dallas county, Alabama, in about 1819. James Madison McGough married Polly Rasberry in Bibb county, Alabama, on October 15 (or October 20), 1832 (Bibb County, book B, page 78; Early Marriages of Bibb County, Alabama).
James' oldest son, John McGough, was born in about 1832. See: Carolyn McGough Rowe, A Glimpse of the Past: Descendants of Robert McGough (b. 1725 northern Ireland (1988), page 140. Polly Rasberry may have died shortly after the birth of her first child, John McGough. (The Polly Rasberry who maried James McGough was Mary Ann (Polly) Rasberry who was born in 1814 to Thomas Masdfison Rasberry and his first wife, Caroline Alford, whom he married in Georgia in 1803 (Family Search). Thomas Rasberry married his second wife, Ruth Spears, in Bibb County, Alabama, on November 22 (or 24), 1841. The 1850 census of the parish of Union, Louisiana, lists Thomas Rasberry, age 65, born in Georgia, a farmer with real estate valued at $200; his wife, Ruth Rasberry, age 55, born in South Carolina; and a daughter, Sarah Rasberry, age 19, born in Alabama (M-432, roll 241, page 392, line 25).
[The 1860 census of Choctaw county (township 20), Mississippi, lists a Polly Rasberry, age 40, born in Alabama, as the head of a household, house mistress, with real estate valued at $400, and personal property worth $348. Living with her were Madison Rasberry, age 19, a farm laborer born in Alabama; Rebecca Rasberry, age 15, born in Alabama; and Richard Rasberry, age 13, born in Mississippi. On the same property was Pinkney Rasberry, age 21, a farmer, born in Mississippi, with his wife, Elizabeth, age 19, born in Mississippi. (M-653, roll 579, page 0, line 14). Pinkney, Madison, Rebecca, and Richard were the children of this Polly Rasberry—so she was a different person than the Polly Rasberry who had married James Madison McGough in 1832. In the 1850 census of subdivision 23, Choctaw county, Mississippi, Pinkney (age 12), Madison (age 8), Rebecca (age 5) and Richard (age 3), are listed with their parents: Aley Rasbury, age 33, a farmer, born in Georgia (M-432, roll 370, page 92, line 42) (indexed by Ancestry.com as Alez Rasbury), and Joisey Rasbury (indexed by Ancestry.com as Jarsey), age 32, born in Alabama, who could not read and write. (Aly Rasberry married Joicy Barrett in Bibb county, Georgia, on January 4 (or 8), 1838. Early Marriages of Bibb County, Alabama. "Alfrenza [Ali Aly Alez Alex] Rasberry was born about 1817. Alfrenza was blessed on 8 Jan 1838 in Bibb county (Bibb County Records, book D, page 84). Alfrenza married Joyce Ann Barrett on 8 Jan 1838 in Bibb County, Alabama." (An older brother of Madison and Polly Rasberry (McGough), Green Rasberry, who had been born in 1806, had married Rebecca Maryanne Barrett, a sister of Joyce Ann (Joicy) Barrett, on October 7, 1827.) Alfrenza was a brother of Mary Ann "Polly" Rasberry McGough who married James Madison McGough.) Most probably, this other Polly Rasberry was the Joicy Barrett who had married Aly Rasberry, and who was the mother of Pinkney, Madison, Richard and Rebecca, (and Martha)—and not the Polly Rasberry who had married James Madison McGough. In the 1870 census of Choctaw county, Mississippi (township 20, range 10, Post Office: Bellefontaine), she is listed as Joyce Rasberry, age 52, at home, born in Alabama, who could read but not write (M-593, roll 725, page 432, line 33), in the home of Marquis Howell, age 30, born in Mississippi, and Martha Howell, age 30, born in Alabama. (Martha was probably another child of Aly Rasberry and Joicy Barrett.)]
[Carolyn McGough Rowe in A Glimpse of the Past, at page 78, reports that John McGough, the father of James Madison McGough, filed a slander suit against Madison Rasberry in the courts of Bibb county, Alabama, on April 21, 1835. "He won and was given land from Rasberry as settlement of the suit." (On April 2, 1835, Madison Rasberry had made a cash purchase of 40.37 acres at 1 SWSE, township 22N, range 13E, section 7, St. Stephen's Meridian, Chilton county, Alabama, through the Cahaba Land Office. Alabama Land Records on Ancestry.com.) The defendant in John McGough's slander suit was probably Polly Rasberry's older brother, Madison Rasberry. This Madison Rasberry had married Elizabeth Hubbard on February 12, 1830, in Bibb county, Alabama (Alabama Marriage Collection, 1800–1969 on Ancestry.com) and is listed in the 1840 census of Bibb county, Alabama, as between 20 and 30 years old, with a wife between 20 and 30 years old, a son under 5, and 3 daughters, 1 between 5 and 10, and 2 under five (roll 1, page 102, line 1). The 1850 census of E. C. River (East Side Cahaba River), Bibb county, Alabama, lists Madison Rasberry, age 41, born in Georgia, a farmer with real estate worth $800, living with his wife, Elizabeth, age 39, born in Georgia, who could not read and write, and 9 children, ranging in age from 18 to 3 months (M-432, roll 2, page 66, line 6). The slander suit was filed by John McGough about 2 1/2 years after his son, James, had married Polly Rasberry, and probably after Polly's death. In 1831 or 1832, Polly Rasberry McGough had given birth to John's grandson, also John McGough, who is the oldest child listed below in the 1850 census of this family. A family history of the Rasberrys says: "Madison Rasberry was a resident of the Jemison area for 42 years. He was also known as a heavy drinker, 'hellraiser', and he spent some time in jail for fighting." Madison "Major" Rasberry—Born Putnum County, Georgia—Lived in Chilton County, Alabama—My 2nd Great-Grandfather by Mitchelene Shaddix. (Chilton county is immediately east of Bibb and was formed originally as Baker county, partly out of Bibb county on December 30, 1868.)]

At one time I thought that this might be the John McGough listed in the 1870 census of Maumelle township (Jonesboro Post Office), Craighead county, Arkansas, as age 39, born in Alabama. He served in the Civil War in Co H 30th Arkansas Infantry Regiment, CSACo H 30th Arkansas Infantry Regiment, CSA. where the records sometimes list him as Gehue (Jehue) McGoff (McGough).

["John McGaugh, a prominent farmer of Yellow Creek township, was born in 1825, in Washington county, Penn. His father, Robert McGaugh, was a native of Ireland, from which country he came to America about 1800, and located near Burgettstown, Penn. He married Mary Provines in 1818, and the fruit of that union was eight children, five of whom are still living: Mary A. (Campbell), John, Samuel, Rebecca M., and Sarah J. Our subject's grandparents on both sides were natives of Ireland. Those on the mother's side came to America about 1811, and had a family of ten children, of whom five are living, viz.: Andrew, James, Sarah, Jane (Robinson) and Rebecca (Stewart). After the ordinary terms at the county schools, our subject commenced working with his father on the farm. In 1848 he came to Columbiana county and located on part of section 16, Yellow Creek township. He has been engaged ever since in farming this place and has met with more than average success in his business. On March 30, 1848, he was joined in wedlock with Martha J. Campbell, daughter of Robert and Jane (Smith) Campbell. Her parents had eight children, the four living one's of whom are Arthur, Ebenezer, William and Martha J. (McGaugh). Our subject and wife are the parents of eight children, as follows: Robert, married to Laura Grumley, who has one child named Arthur; Mary E., wife of Robert Vance, who has three children, Homer, Arthur J. and Mary M.; Jane E., married to Henry Herbert, who has five children; John, Catherine, Martha M., Janette, Rebecca M., wife of Emory Toot, who has two children, Olive and John E; Martha A. wife of Samuel Connor, who has three children, Robert McG., Myrtle and James; Sarah A., wife of J. H. Hayes, who has three children, Jane, Amelia and Mary; Jane and Amelia.

"THOMAS MAGUE—Death of One of the Oldest Residents of Oakdale
Special to the Telegram
"OAKDALE, March 21 (1899)— Thomas Mague died at the home of his daughter, Miss (sic) Clara Dorr, last night at 7:45, of heart failure, after an illness of one week. Mr. Mague had been in failing health for some time and has been attended by Dr. Alfred Tyler of Sterling and Dr. E. D. Williams of Oakdale.
"Mr. Mague was born in Boston* in June 1813. In 1841 he married Miss Laura Campbell of Lunenburg. Seven children are living. Mr. Mague had lived in Danielson, Ct, Providence and Woonsocket, R.I., where he was in the bakery business. Twenty-five years ago he came to Oakdale, where he lived until his death. Ten years ago he retired from business.
"March 17, 1898 Mr. Mague lost his wife, since which time he had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Clara A. Dorr. The funeral will be from his home, Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. W.H. Adams, pastor of the Methodist church, of which Mr. Mague was a member, will officiate.199*"

Misc. Notes
"There are several stories concerning the origins of Thomas Mague, none of which are verifiable.
"One story related to his Grandson, Roscoe Mague, was that he was shipwrecked on the New England coast as an infant, and was subsequently adopted by a Mague family.
"Another story reported by his Great Granddaughter, Barbara Peabody, was that he was abducted from a mansion and never saw his parents again.
"Yet another story related by Barbara Peabody, as passed down from her Grandmother, was that originally, Thomas' name was spelled McHugh. It was spelled incorrectly on civil war records as Mague. In order to collect his pension, he retained the spelling Mague. 203*"
*203. Stanley Mague: Ancestors of Laura Campbell RTF in my files.
"On December 10, 1857, Thomas Mague filed bankruptcy over his bakery business in Killingly, CT. There had been an economic depression that year and many small businesses went under and Thomas' was no exception. One of the witnesses on the actual document was Daniel Campbell. Would that have been the same Daniel Campbell who was Laura Ann's younger brother, born in 1830? 204*"
