Col. W.W. Pugh and family papers, 1833-1941.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/310754290

The Col. W.W. Pugh and Family Papers contain papers on W.W. Pugh's interest in Reconstruction politics, association with the Board of Levee Commissioners for the 3rd District, participation in the affairs of Christ Episcopal Church in Napoleonville, La., the education of his children, and family and plantation matters between 1848 and 1891. Correspondence, bills, receipts, and manuscript volumes document the career of Thomas B. Pugh, son of W.W. Pugh and physician of Assumption Parish, La. (1833, 1855-1941). His papers pertain to his education in Virginia and Louisiana, his medical practice in Baltimore and Assumption Parish, and his interests in politics and history. A scrapbook of newspaper clippings of W.W. Pugh's daughter-in-law, Eliza Lofton Phillips Pugh of Lyn's Hope Plantation in Assumption Parish, pertain principally to her published writings. Scrapbooks of Edward N. Pugh, son of W.W. Pugh and attorney of Donaldsonville, La., concern Confederate history.
