Biographical History
Dr. Whitmell Hill Pugh (1781-1834) emigrated from Bertie County, N.C., with his brother, Augustin Pugh, and half-brother, Thomas Pugh, to Louisiana in 1818. They settled on Bayou Lafourche, near Napoleonville, La., in 1820.
William W. Pugh was a planter, Civil War officer and president of the Board of Levee Commissioners. He owned Woodlawn Plantation, a sugarcane plantation near Bayou Lafourche in Assumption Parish, La. Ellen Haven Pugh, daughter of John Applegate Haven of New York, NY, was the widow of David Pugh, a cousin of William Pugh. She resided in New York.
William W. Pugh was a sugar cane planter of Woodlawn Plantation in Assumption Parish, Louisiana. Pugh was colonel of the Assumption militia regiment, hence he was commonly called "Colonel" Pugh. Pugh married William Ann Thompson in 1831 and Josephine W. Nicholls in 1844. He had at least ten children with wife Ann and four with wife Josephine.
Pugh was quite active politically in Louisiana as a member of the state House of Representatives (ca. 1845 and 1852-1858), chairman of the 3rd District Levee Board, and president of the Canal and Claiborne Railroad. He was also chairman of the Woodlawn Planting & Manufacturing Co., from its inception in 1903 until his death in 1906.
