State of Tennessee )
County of Carter )

On this 19th day of September 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Honorable Samuel Powell, Judge and now holding the circuit court in and for said county, Julius Dugger, a resident of the County of Carter and State of Tennessee, age 71 years, who being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832.

That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated. That when a citizen of Wilkes County, (now Ashe County), North Carolina, he volunteered under Captain John Keyes, who commanded a light horse company and served under him for over a month; that said company marched to the head of Watauga River where they destroyed provisions and in order to prevent the Tories and Indians from getting them. That he was discharged by Captain Keyes and does not know now where that discharge is. That this service was in the year 1780. Afterwards he moved to Washington County, North Carolina, now Carter County, Tennessee and in the month of May 1781 (as he thinks) he volunteered and marched under Captain William Smith whose company marched to the Big Island Ford in French Broad River where in the month of August it joined Col. Sevier, that from thense he marched under Captain Smith and Col. Sevier, against the Chiccamauga, Cherokee, and Creek Indians, crossing Tennessee and Hiwassee Rivers, Chiccamauga Creek, passing Van's Town, Roger's Town, the mountain called Facing Mountain (dividing the waters of Tennessee and Coosa, and stopping at the Coosa River, where they burnt the town called Coosa water and marching from there burnt the Big Shoemake and Little Shoemake towns, and burnt all the towns at that time but Roger's Town. They took at that time 18 prisoners and affiant was in actual service as he thinks on this occasion 4 months. The troops were disbanded as he thinks on the Tennessee River as they returned and affiant came from their home. During this month the troops suffered considerably from want of food, etc., and under Captain Ford to Knoxville, Tennessee, where the troops were disbanded under General Martin. From Knoxville they went to the Lookout Mountain where a battle was fought with the Chiccamauga and Creek Indians, in which 8 white men were wounded and 23 killed. That he served actually on this occasion about 2 months. Affiant believes that his actual services were performed in 7 months. He has no documentary evidence by which to establish the truth of his claim, and believes that it can be partially established by the subjoined certificate.

He hereby relinquished all claims to a pension except the present and declares that his name is not inscribed on the pension roll of any state to his knowledge.

By; Wm B. Carter

Isaac Taylor aged 75 years, makes oath that he has heard the foregoing affidavit read and believes the statements therein contained to be true. That he was a Lieutenant in the Regiment commanded by Col. Sevier in the fall of 1781. That he was acquainted with Captain William Smith and believed that he served as a Captain under Col. Sevier on the campaign mentioned by Mr. Dugger. The route taken by Col. Sevier's regiment on that occasion is correctly described by Mr. Dugger. Affiant was not however personally acquainted with Julius Dugger at that time- but from the above affidavit and from conservations with Mr. Dugger, (with whom he has been acquainted for several years) and from circumstances detailed to him by Mr. Dugger as having occurred during the campaign', he has no doubt but that he served as he states.

(Their being no clergyman resident)

In late 1832, Julius Dugger said he was "71" years old, so that puts his birth year at circa 1760/1761, and if his birthdate of 9 Sep 1760 is correct, he would have been 72 at this time (this document was dated 19 Sep 1832). Now, if he was giving his age "as of" the date of the Pension act (7 Jun 1832), then "71" would have been correct. This calls into question whether or not his birth date is accurate. Since no source is known for it, other than Mrs. Vaught's record (1933), I don't know how we can be sure.

Notes for WILLIAM DUGGER:
CRANBERRY MAGNETIC IRON MINES. From Hon. A. C. Avery of Morganton it has been learned that about 1780 Reuben White took out a grant for the 100 acres supposed to cover the iron deposit at these mines, and that Hon. Waightstill Avery took out four small grants surrounding the Reuben White grant. 14 In addition, he took out hundreds of 640-acre grants, covering almost all of the North Toe valley from its source to Toecane, except that here and there along the valley some older grants intervened. He also took grants to lands along Squirrel, Roaring, Henson and Three - Mile creeks, and the lower valley of South Toe and Linville rivers. In 1795 William Cathcart took out two large grants, one known as the "99,000-Acre Tract" and the other as the "59,000-Acre Tract," which two grants covered practically all of what is now Mitchell and Avery counties, except some tracts along the Blue Ridge, and embrace all the tracts along the streams theretofore granted to Waightstill Avery. He devised all these lands to his son, Isaac T. Avery. A controversy arose between the father of John Evans Brown, agent for the claimants under the Cathcart grants, which resulted in the execution of compromise deeds in 1852, by which I. T. Avery got a quit claim to about 50,000 acres of land, so as to include most of the land described, including the Cranberry Mines. The Reuben White tract had in the meantime passed by a succession of conveyances to William Dugger, who sold his interest to Hoke, Hutchinson and Sumner; Dugger, Avery and Brown having entered into a written agreement under which Avery and Brown were to hold one-half of one-fourth each of the several interest in all the Dugger land outside of the Reuben White tract.. But, before Dugger conveyed to Hoke, Hutchinson and Sumner, he had contracted to sell to John Harding, Miller and another, and had put Rarding in possession, so that the Hoke purchase was from Harding and associates, taking the legal title from Dugger. Judge A. C. Avery, as executor of his father's (I. T. Avery) estate, gave notice to Hoke and company of the equitable claim of Brown and Avery in three thousand acres, embracing the Cranberry ore bank, before they bought from Dugger, and in the ensuing litigation compelled Hoke and Company to pay between fifteen and twenty thousand dollars for the Brown and Avery interests in the Cranberry ore bank.

BEFORE THE LITIGATION BEGAN. Exactly when the Cranberry Iron mine was first operated cannot be determined now. Joshua Perkins and a man named Asher built what was afterwards known as the Dugger mine, on the right bank of the Watauga In what is now Johnson county, Tenn., and four miles above Butler. Remains of the old forge are still visible there, just above the present iron bridge, the forge itself having been washed away in the freshet of 1886 or 1887. Tradition says that Perkins and Asher sold this forge to William, Abe and John Dugger, and then went to Cranberry and built the forge there. These Dugger brothers were the sons of Julius Dugger who owned a farm on the right bank of the Watauga, opposite Fish Springs; and soon took charge of the forge Perkins had built at Cranberry. But when either forge was built "no man knoweth." Only one fact could be secured, and that was that in November, 1886, Joshua Perkins bought a bill of goods at Curtis and Farthing's store at Butler. All agree that he was then over eighty years of age, and that he died soon afterwards. Assuming, then, that he was eighty-six
years of age in 1886, and that he was at least twenty-one when he built the Dugger forge four miles above Butler, the Cranberry forge most probably was built not earlier than 1821 to 1825. Benjamin Dugger was also concerned in this Cranberry forge, but afterwards went to Ducktown, Tenn. Upon his death John Hardin went into possession of the mine, either by his own right or as guardian of Able's heirs. It was sold by John Hardin or his son Councill Hardin, to Gen. R. F. Hoke for $10,000 and he sold to the company now owning it. Shep. M. Dugger, in his "Balsam Groves of the Grandfather Mountain" (p.15), says: "In the year 1850 the now famous Cranberry Iron mines were in their infantile state of development. The Dugger family had been the first to build forges and hammer iron in Tennessee, and the writer's grandfather and great uncle had now crossed the line, and purchased the mines and tilt-hammer forge at Cranberry."

THE CARTER AND HOKE LITIGATION. Thomas D. Carter had an equitable contract for the sale of a part of the interest held under bond for title by John Hardin, Miller and another, and this led to the litigation which culminated in the case of Thomas D. Carter V. Robert F. Hoke and others (64 N. C. Rep., p.348). It appears that, in May, 1867, the plaintiff agreed to convey his interest in the Cranberry Iron mines to Gen. Hoke and others for $44,000, and when he tendered a deed there-for he was given a sight draft on a New York bank for the amount of the purchase money, which draft was protested and never paid; but that the reason it had not been paid was because it had been well understood by the parties to the transaction that, although it was a sight draft, the funds to meet it were to have been provided by the proceeds of a sale of the same property by Hoke and associates to another purchaser, which contemplated sale Carter had defeated. Upon this state of facts a receiver was appointed and the sale of the property was enjoined. At the Spring term, 1869, of the Superior court of Madison county, Hoke moved to dissolve the injunction and end the receivership. Upon the hearing of that motion it appeared that Hoke and associates had effected another sale of the property to the Russells and associates, for $50,000, and they claimed to have been innocent purchasers without notice. Judge Henry granted the motion; but on appeal the Supreme court continued the injunction against a sale of the property till Carter had been paid and the question as to whether the Russells were innocent purchasers had been tried. Hoke and company soon afterwards compromised with Carter and the title to the property was thus settled so far as
Carter was concerned.

A FURTHER STORY OF THE LITIGATION. The interests of the original purchasers of the White and Avery Ore Bank tracts, as well as the interests of the claimants of adjacent lands under a forge bounty grant (junior to the 59,000 acre grant of 1796), were sold for partition under a decree of the Supreme court at its session at Morganton before the Civil War, and was bought by William Dugger. He subsequently paid the purchase money and got a decree that James R. Dodge, clerk of the Supreme court at Morganton, should make title to him. Before getting his title, however, but after he had paid the purchase money, William Dugger entered into an agreement with Isaac T. Avery and J. Evans Brown that the three should hold an equal one-third interest in all the mineral outside of the original White Ore-Bank tract. But this agreement seems not to have been registered; and, the Civil War coming on, the sessions of the Supreme court at Morganton were abolished. Then Col. Dodge, the clerk, died without having made title to William Dugger. Meantime, Judge A. C. Avery secured through Hon. B. F. Moore an ordinance of the Convention of 1866 authorizing Mr. Freeman, who was then clerk of the Supreme court at Raleigh, to
make the title to William Dugger which Col. Dodge should have made. Clerk Freeman made this title to Dugger, but failed to include in it any reference to the equitable agreement which had been made between William Dugger, Isaac T. Avery and J. Evans Brown to the effect that each should have a one-third interest in the property outside of the original White Ore Bank tract. William Dugger, too, had sold his interest in the property without excepting the two-thirds interest equitably owned by Avery and Brown, and executed a deed therefor. These purchasers were proposing to sell under their deed from Dugger without notice to Avery and Brown; whereupon Judge A. C. Avery, as executor of Isaac T. Avery, who had died, and J. Evans Brown gave notice of their equity to the proposed purchasers, and thereby compelled the purchasers from Dugger to buy their interest in the property. This covered all interests in the property.[15]

"William Dugger wrote his Will 5 Oct 1872 in Johnson Co, TN. This Will was published in "Tennessee Records .." (cited above), and retyped by me for this web page. If the published version was verbatim (as it seems to be), then this is also. The only changes I made were to add some paragraph breaks, and to bold all names given. This Will proves most of the Julius Dugger and Mary Hall family.

In the name of God. Amen.

I, William Dugger, of the County of Johnson and State of Tennessee, being of sound mind and memory and considering of this frail and transitory life, do, therefore, make and ordain, publish and declare this to be my last will and testament.

Second tract of land, one thousand acres of land, more or less, adjoining the lands of Daniel Baker and others. All the above named lands, iron works and saw- mills I bequeath to the heirs of John Dugger, deceased, to John Dugger Sr, Benjamin Dugger, Jacob F. Dugger, Hiram Dugger, Joseph Dugger Sr, Peter E.

The last six above-named heirs are to have their lands out of which is known as the Roan's Creek farm, lying north side of Roan's Creek, opposite Ezekiel Smith's, where Washington Bowman and others now live. The above-described lots of land are taken out of four hundred acre tract of land, be it the same, more or less.

And I furthermore give and bequeath all my claim and interest in and to the estate of my father, Julius Dugger, deceased. To my two sisters, Margaret Dugger and Mary Pierce, and I also empower my executor J. D. Pierce, to make titles to all the lands I have sold to my sister, Margaret Dugger, on the south side of the Watauga River, opposite where Margaret Dugger now lives. I know to be properly understood I reserve one hundred and twenty five acres of land out my farm lying on the north side of Roan's Creek, opposite Ezekiel Smith's, including the first mill and water navigation, power and building thereon, where Washington Bowman now lives.

The last six above named heirs are to have their lots outside of the 125 acres of land, which I reserve to do as I please with hereafter, and to be more properly understood, they are to have fifty acres of land apiece, with this exception, Mary C. Bogle is to only have twenty-five acres of land if there be that amount after my own one hundred twenty-five acres of land is taken out.

I furthermore desire and request my niece, Nancy J.

Otherwise, see that she is maintained her lifetime out of the proceeds of the farm and after Anna's death all the above privilege to go back to Nancy J. Cowan and her heirs forever.

Furthermore, I want it to be properly understood that iron ore is on the land that I bequeath to Nancy J. Cowan and her heirs is to go to the use of the forge, known as Dugger's Forge, and what other minerals, be it what it may, must be equally divided among all my above-named brothers and sisters.

And I furthermore give to the heirs of John Dugger, deceased, the Baker Iron Ore Bank, to be equally divided among themselves.

I furthermore want my executors to pay over out of my estate to Nancy Rainbolt ten dollars which I feel myself indebted to her for waiting on my when I had the smallpox.

I furthermore bind my executors to pay out of my estate my burial and funeral expenses if there be any.

I give, bequeath and desire all the rest, residue and remainder of my real and personal estate to my above-named brothers and sisters, to be equally divided, share and share alike.

Likewise, I make, constitute my nephew Julius D. Pierce, and my brother-in-law, Thomas Anderson, to executors of my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made.

In witness to hereof I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my seal the 5th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1872. William Dugger
