ROBERT AND ELIZABETH (JEFFRIES) TUGGLE OF JASPER COUNTY AND 
THEIR DESCENDENTS 

Elizabeth Jeffries was born in King and Queen County, Virginia in 1777. Robert Tuggle had been born around 1770 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
Robert was the son of Lodowick Tuggle who had been born in Middlesex County on September 14, 1741. Lodowick's father and grandfather had also been born in the county.

On October 1, 1765 Lodowick Tuggle married Dorothy Lee, the sister of Elizabeth]s mother Esther Lee, in Middlesex County. 
Lodowick's will was witnessed by Elizabeth's brothers, Thomas and George Jeffries and others, on September 23, 1798. In it Lodowick named his children as: (1) George 
Tuggle who married Polly Swanson on December 5, 1797, (2) Elizabeth Tuggle who married John Johns on December 26, 1797, (3) Nancy Tuggle who married William Jeffries, Jr. Elizabeth's brother on October 24, 1806, (4) Robert Tuggle who married Elizabeth Jeffries in Oglethorpe County on February 5, 1799, 
(5) Catherine Tuggle who married George Jeffries, Elizabeth's brother, on December 18, 1798, (6) Savannah Tuggle, (7) Eunice Tuggle, and (8) (?).

On December 4, 1799 Robert had been conveyed 500 acres in Oglethorpe County, known as The Battleground by Charles Crawford, Sr. It is not shown on records, but this may have been part of his father's estate which Robert was the administrator of following his father's death. It is believed he conveyed some or all of this over to his brother, George. 

Robert Tuggle paid his taxes on 261 acres of land, in Greene County, in 1801.In June 1802 Robert served as a juror in Greene county
On March 12, 1808 Robert Tuggle sold to Thomas Lyne 34 acres of land on the south side of Stewart's Creek in Greene County. This was part of a tract of land, that Robert was serving as the administrator, which belonged to the estate of Lodowick Tuggle, for $103.50.On February 8, 1809, as the administrator of 
Lodowick's estate, Robert sold 100 acres of land on Shirley Creek to Thomas Jeffries, my ancestor, for $100. On November 29, 1817 Robert and Elizabeth sold 314 acres in Greene County to William Jennings and then moved to Jasper County.

On December 12, 1817 Robert Tuggle bought 202 ½ acres of land on Murder Creek in Jasper County. This was about the same time Elizabeth's four brothers all moved to this same general area. On February 26, 1818 he sold 314 acres of land in Greene County for almost the same amount of money, $1,000, he 
gave for the Jasper County land he bought. The 1820 Jasper County Census listed the following 
family: Robert Tuggle 45, Elizabeth Tuggle 26-45, two sons 16-26, one son 16-18, two sons and three daughters 0-10 years. One of their sons, Lee Tuggle, had already married and he and his wife were listed as 16-26, and they had a son 0-10 years old. They lived near Robert and Elizabeth's plantation, 
probably on land which had been given to Lee at the time of his marriage from Robert's plantation. This census also showed Robert owned 14 slaves at this time.

Robert Tuggle testified in the attempted murder trial of his brother-in-law, Lee Jeffries, in Newton County, on November 2, 1828. This was shown in Newton County trial 
records..In the 1830 Jasper County Census Robert Tuggle was listed as 60-70, and Elizabeth as 50-60 years old. Living in their household at this time was one son 20-30, two daughters 15-20, one son 10-15, and two daughter's 0-10 years old. (Page 19- Paragraph 4) Although it is not believed he, nor any of his family, ever moved there, and that he sold the land, Robert Tuggle, won land in land district #4 of Floyd County in section #3 and land lot #1065 in the 1832 Georgia Gold Lottery.

Robert Tuggle died in Jasper County in 1835. His sons, Lee and Thomas, qualified as the administrators of Robert's estate. Bond Book C, of Jasper County, on page 108, shows that the administrators had an inventory made and paid a bond of $12,000 for security Book 11, of Jasper County, on January 26, 1836 shows that at 
the sale of the estate's property Thomas H. Tuggle, G.P. Wilson, B.J. Wilson, B.H. Digby, W. Tuggle, L.H. Tuggle, W. Richards, and Elizabeth Tuggle all bought some of the property from the estate for a total of $706.74. The same book on page 47 shows that the sale of the slaves was held on the first Tuesday, April 5, 1836. Those buying some of the slaves were: 
T.H. Tuggle, W.J.L. Tuggle, Catherine Tuggle, Mary B. Tuggle, 
Lee Tuggle, J.H. Tuggle, Elizabeth Tuggle, and Colby Jackson 
for a total of $5,958.

Bond Book C, of Jasper County, on page 125, shows that Thomas H. Tuggle and Jephtha Dismukes were bound by the Jasper County Inferior Court for $4,000 on March 7, 1836 as Thomas was appointed guardian of William, Francis, and Rebecca Tuggle, orphans of Robert Tuggle.In the same book, on page 165, shows that Thomas 
H. Tuggle, William J. L. Tuggle, and Elizabeth Tuggle were bound for $1, 650 on March 6, 1837 as Elizabeth Tuggle was appointed guardian of Rebecca Tuggle, orphan. Thomas had asked to be relieved of this responsibility. In the May term of the 1837 Court of Ordinary, on page 123, the court said Thomas H. and Lee Tuggle said they 
had fulfilled their responsibility as administrators of Robert Tuggle's estate and asked to be relieved of this responsibility. The court ordered that any objections be made 
in the next term of court in January.

In the 1840 Jasper County Census Elizabeth Tuggle was listed as 50-60 years old, and in her household she had a daughter and a son 20-30, one daughter 15-20, and a daughter 10-15 years old. Will Book 12, on page 422, for July 12, 1842 shows that Catherine Tuggle gave her mother, Elizabeth, her slave, Rachel, and Rachel's three children. 

The 1850 Jasper County Census listed Elizabeth as 62 years old and living in her household was Amanda Tuggle, who was 21 years old. Still living in Jasper County, with families of their own were two sons Benjamin F. Tuggle and William Jeffries Lodowick Tuggle. The slave census of Jasper County for 1850 shows 
that Elizabeth owned eight slaves and her son William Jeffries Lodowick Tuggle owned nine slaves. The 1850 Agricultural Schedule of Jasper County 
shows Elizabeth Tuggle owned 40 acres of land valued at $300 and had livestock valued at $200. Elizabeth (Jeffries) Tuggle died in Jasper County 
in 1854. Her will left her son, William Jeffries Lodowick Tuggle nine slaves and listed him as the executor of her will. Her will was written on February 1, 1854 and says: 
? In the name of God Amen. I, Elizabeth Tuggle of Jasper County, Georgia being of sound mind and memory and knowing the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, do make this my last will and testament. 1st item- It is my will and desire that my body, after my death, be interred in a Decent and Christian-like manner. 2nd item- It is my will and desire that my debts, if any, be paid by my executor hereinafter named with as little delay as practicable. 3rd item- I give and bequeath to my son, William J. L. Tuggle, as trustee and to trust for the sole and separate use of my daughter, Rebecca E. Jeffries, wife of Bolin E. Jeffries, during her lifetime the 
sum of fifteen attached that for the said Rebecca E. Jeffries all of my household and kitchen furniture, all my cattle and hogs, and after her death to her children. 4th item- I give and bequeath to Colbert Jeffries (my great, great, great uncle and son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Morris) Jeffries) my Negro man, Harry, about 59 years of age. 5th item- I give and bequeath to my son, William J.L. Tuggle, my Negro woman, Jinny, about 80 years old; Negro woman, Chaney, about 53 years 
old; Negro woman, Rachel, about 38 years old; Negro man, Granville, about 20 years old; Negro woman, Mary, about 18 years old; Negro boy, Ralph, about 15 years old; Negro boy, Billy, about 10 years old; Negro girl, Katy, a girl about 8 years old; and Sam a Negro boy about three years old. Together with the increase of the females, if any. After the making of this will, or after my death, if there are any increase, also I give and bequeath unto my said son, William J.L. Tuggle. One 
two horse wagon and harness, also my horses and mules, as the case may be, after my death, also the crop that may be on hand at my death, whether matured, or to be matured, including cotton, corn, oats, fodder, etc. I also give all the bacon and other provisions on hand at the time of my death, and further 
my plantation tools of every description. 6th item- In order to carry into effect this my last will and testament, I hereby constitute and appoint my son, William J.L. Tuggle, my executor. Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the said Elizabeth Tuggle as her last will and testament, this the first day of February in the year 1854. Elizabeth signed her will with her mark.

On October 2, 1854 a case was brought into the Court of the Ordinary against William J.L. Tuggle, as the executor and administrator of Elizabeth Tuggle's estate. This 
case was brought by Benjamin F. Tuggle, Obediah E. Cavender in the right of his wife Frances (Tuggle) Cavender, Coly R. Jackson in the right of his wife Nancy (Tuggle) Jackson, John W. Smith in the right of his wife Elizabeth (Tuggle) Smith. Oglerly L. Prophett, also joined with them on the case, because he furnished the security for the case. They said in the court case that the will and testament was not any good because at the time of the will Elizabeth was not in her right 
mind, that she was at an old age and had body infirmity causing a great deal of mental anguish, and that she was under the control and influence of the executor. The court found in favor of William and that Elizabeth was in a sound mind, when she made the will, and that she was not under the executor's influence in making it. They said this would be entered into record as it was recorded. The 1860 slave census showed William J.L. Tuggle owned 26 slaves. (Since slaves were most costly item on any 
farm in the south, at that time, The War Between The States, in about three years, resulted in William losing very much of the value of his estate.

Descendents of Robert and Elizabeth (Jeffries) Tuggle
.
Some additional information on the children of Robert and 
Elizabeth (Jeffries) Tuggle is as follows:

1. NANCY TUGGLE- She married Colby R. Jackson in Jasper County, who had been born on November 7, 1808. Colby R. Jackson's father was Daniel Jackson, who was born on November 29, 1782 and married Georgia Sarah Bowen on January 15, 1805 in Greensboro of Green County, Georgia. She had been born on 
March 22, 1780 in Greensboro. The 1820 Jasper County census listed three Jackson households very near each other and none of them were children 
of Daniel Jackson. I believe Daniel and his brothers and sisters (who are unknown) moved to Jasper County when their father did.) Colby had moved to Meriwether County by the time of the 1830 census and his household included one male 20-30 and one female 15-20 years old. In 1832 Colby R. Jackson was living in Tuggle's District of 
Meriwether County, Land Lot #699, Land District #5, and Section #1, when he drew for land in the Gold Lottery. The 1840 census showed his family as living in Randolph County, Alabama and consisted of one male 20-30, one female 20-30, and three daughters 0-5 years old. It is uncertain when Nancy died, but on 
September 5, 1861 Colby R. Jackson married Mary Jones. It is certain that Mary was not the mother of the four daughters of Colby R. Jackson. The following is the household of Colby R. Jackson for the Russell County 1860 census: C. R. Jackson 48, Sebrina Jackson 16, C. E. Jackson 13, and Eugenia Jackson 10 
years old. (Louise Jackson had already married I. S.C. Satterwhite.) 

2. FRANCIS LEE TUGGLE- She was born on May 23, 1818 and married Obediah C. Cavender, who had been born on April 17, 1809 in Anson County, North Carolina as the son of George and Mary Cavender. Francis and Obediah were married on March 3, 1839 in Troup County. Obediah had been a chain carrier, when Coweta 
County was first surveyed in 1826, while he was living in Jasper County. He served in the state militia as a 1st Sergeant in the 38th Regiment of Captain Davis Lane during the Creek Indian War. On January 10, 1838 Obediah bought 202 ½ acres of land in the 4th district of Coweta County from Elbert Hardman 
of Oglethorpe County, who had drawn it in the 1827 land lottery. Obediah was a teacher in Coweta County in 1850.He continued to buy more land and became a man of substantial means with land, slaves, livestock, and personal property valued at $52,200 according to the 1864 tax digest. Obediah and his family lived on his plantation near Handy in Coweta County. Obediah died on November 15, 1896 and Francis Lee (Tuggle) Cavender died on March 4, 1897. They were both 
buried in Elim Baptist Church Cemetery. 

3. THOMAS TUGGLE- Thomas was born in Greene County in 1805 and married first Nancy Lovejoy, of Jasper County, on February 1, 1827.
The 1830 Jasper County census showed Thomas as 20-30 years old and living in his house alone. His second marriage was to Jane B. Wilson, in 
Jasper County, on November 3, 1830. He married a third time, but the date, place, and name of his wife hasn't been discovered yet.
On June 13, 1836 he qualified as the guardian of his brother and sister: William, Frances, and Rebecca, but in March 1837 he asked the court to relieve him of the 
responsibility. The court then appointed the children's mother, Elizabeth, as the guardian. On February 4, 1837 Thomas sold 303 acres of land, in Jasper 
County, to John Robinson, for $2,100.In the October term of Troup County Court a case was brought against Thomas H. Tuggle by the Solicitor General 
before the Grand Jury for murder. He was accused of killing a slave boy, Jerry, by using both his hands, and feet. He knocked the boy down with certain switches, kicking and using a stone in his hand hit the boy in the head, face, stomach, shoulders, back and sides. He feloniously willfully and unlawfully and with malice aforethought did strike, whip, beat, cut, bruise, and would the boy, Jerry. This attack continued from about ten o'clock in the forenoon until the hour of four o?clock in the afternoon on December 9, 1839. The lawyer said Thomas H. Tuggle is said to not have the fear of God in him, but is instead deducted by the devil. Thomas was 
found guilty of killing the boy and was sentenced to pay $500, the boy's worth to the court. The 1840 Troup County census listed Thomas? 
household as: one male 40-50 years old, one male and one female 30-40, one son and one daughter 5-10, and one son and one daughter 0-5 years old. 
On October 23, 1845 a case was brought against Thomas into Troup County court for attacking a schoolteacher in Chambers County, Alabama in the spring of 1842. George W. Johnson, the teacher, had been sharpening a quill pen when Thomas, John W. Smith, Robert B. Short, and Robert?s father approached him. Robert and his father set up an appointment to meet Johnson at the schoolhouse to get him to do some writing for them. He said Robert pulled out a gun and George came 
toward him with his knife. He said if Tuggle hadn't been along Dawson, the owner of the house, would have sent them back as 
they had come. Charges were made against Robert Short, Thomas Tuggle, and John W. Smith. On December 8, 1847 Thomas acknowledged a deed 
in Russell County, Alabama, which conveyed an interest in land belonging to his father's estate. The 1850 census of Russell County, Alabama 
shows Thomas as 45, Nancy as 38, William as 18, Sarah as 16, Francis as 14, Newton as 12, John as 4, and James as 2 years old. About 1854 Thomas Tuggle moved his family to Homer, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, where he lived for the 1860 census. This census showed he owned real estate valued at $20,000 and personal property valued at $40.000. Although Thomas moved his family several times and ended up in Louisiana, some researchers from Louisiana today tell me he had a bad reputation there and continually got himself into some sort of trouble. A Helpful e-mail message I received on Thomas Tuggles'  family is as follows: My name is James T. Tuggle 
live in Bossier City La. Lodowick Tuggle was my great great grandfather. My great grandfather's name was Robert Tuggle, born in 1770 and died in 1835. He was married to Elizabeth Jefferies and they had ten children. and one of them, Thomas H. was my great grandfather. He was married three times and 
his last wife's name was Nancy Hawthorne. He had five sons. One of those sons whose name was Snipe Tuggle was my grandfather. My fathers name was James Clarence Tuggle and he was born in Homer Louisiana. I have five grown children, two boys and thee girls. All married and doing well. I retired from the USAF in 1972 with 27 years as a Cmsgt or E-9. If you would like to E-mail me, send it to Jamestjasu@aol.com 


4. BENJAMIN TUGGLE- Benjamin was born in 1807 and married Mary Ann Holland on January 3, 1826 in Jasper County. It is unknown if he did this full time for a living, or not, or if he just finished up a year after serving in the Creek and Indian War, but on December 12, 1855 the Treasurer of paid Benjamin $50 for tutoring six children Newton County. He served as a private in Captain Stone's Company of the 1st Georgia Militia, during the Creek and Indian War, and was living in Newton County on March 28, 1855. At that time he was awarded bounty land grant #19071 for his service. Just when he moved his family to Livingston County, 
Kentucky, where they both died is not known. The children of Mary Ann (Holland) and Benjamin Tuggle were (A) Lawson Tuggle, who was born in 1828 and 
married Francis A. Harrison in Jasper County on February 21, 1850. (B) Joseph Tuggle, who was born in 1834 and married first Adaline Harrison, second Ellen Stephens, and third Mary Hall. (C) Leroy Tuggle, who was born in 1836 and married a cousin, Elizabeth Jeffries, daughter of Elizabeth (Reeves) and Burkett Jeffries, my great, great, great grandparents, on January 31, 1858. Leroy Tuggle joined the Jasper County ?Glover Guards? in Company G of the 4th Georgia Regiment of the Georgia Volunteer Infantry of Northern Virginia as a private on April 25, 1851. He was killed at Spotsylvania, Virginia on May 10, 1864 and was buried in the cemetery there. 
The 1850 Jasper County Census listed the following family: Benjamin F. Tuggle 43, Mary Ann Tuggle 42, Joseph Tuggle 16, Leroy Tuggle 14, and Elizabeth Tuggle 11 years old. 

Benjamin was one of those contesting his mother's will, in the Jasper County Court of Ordinary, at the time of her death on October 2, 1854. They lost that case. 
The 1860 Jasper County census listed Leroy Tuggle 22, Elizabeth (Jeffries) Tuggle and Crayton Tuggle 2 years old. Leroy and Elizabeth lived in Newton County

Mansfield. She is buried near her mother, her youngest brother, and many from his family. Her tombstone reads: "Eliza" Tuggle 1838-1927."
Benjamin Tuggle also had a daughter he named Elizabeth, who was born in 1839 and married Jim Osborne. A helpful e-mail message I received on this

5. WILLIAM JEFFRIES LODOWICK TUGGLE- He was born in Greene County in 1815 and married Mary Ann Hunter in Jasper County on 
January 4, 1838. He owned nine slaves in the 1850 and 25 slaves in the 1860 Jasper County Censuses. His mother?s will on February 1, 1854 named him as 
her executor and gave him nine slaves and much of her estate. His brother, Benjamin, and his four brothers-in-law contested the will, but the court decided in his favor. 
The 1850 Jasper County census had the following family listed: W. J. L. Tuggle 34, Martha 34, William 11, Sophrona 10 (Before the 1860 Jasper County census she had married William Smith and for the census their household showed William as 21 years old, Sophronia as 19, and her brother, Henry 17 years old was

The 1820 Meriwether County census showed Lee?s household as: one male and one female 20-30 years old, one son 
and one daughter 0-5 years old. In the August 30, 1828 issue of the Georgia Journal Newspaper of Milledgeville there appeared the

The info on Augustus Tuggle came from the web page I found. The info on William Robert Tuggle came from our Tuggle Family Bible. William Robert Tuggle had 12 children, the youngest was born when he was 52 years old and was my Grandmother, Lizzie Lucille Tuggle. Debra Fletcher Tumlin Gainesville, GA

The Columbus, Georgia Enquirer in it's February 5, 1850 issue had the following article: "Lee Tuggle, 
born July 5, 1801, in Greene County, Georgia, the son of Robert and Elizabeth Tuggle, formerly of Jasper County, Georgia, married the eldest daughter of Lodowick and Rachel Rollins on January 19, 1826, died on January 10, 1850 in Meriwether County." 

7. .REBECCA TUGGLE- She was born in 1824 and married her first cousin, Bolin L. Jeffries, son of William Jeffries, Jr., in Jasper County, on December 20, 1843. Bolin had been born in 1819. The 1850 Jasper County Agricultural Schedule showed that Bolin owned 180 acres of land in Jasper County valued at $400 and had $100 worth of livestock. Although he was over 40 years old, Bolin served in Terrell's Battery, of the Georgia Light Artillery in the War Between the States. He spent most of his time working in a Columbus, Georgia hospital though. In the 1850 Jasper County Slave Census Bolin owned eight slaves. A black Confederate soldier, Buck Jeffries, 
believed to be a slave of Bolin, was listed just under Bolin's name in his Confederate Army Unit and it is believed he went to war as a personal friend of his master.
Following The War Between the States, Bolin moved his family to Russell County, Alabama, where he and his family lived for the 1870 and 1880 censuses. Rebecca was not listed for the 1870 census. Later Bolin had a different wife, and it is believed Rebecca had died.In applying for a Confederate Widow's Pension on 
October 15, 1882 Sarah J. Jeffries, Bolin's second wife, said Bolin had been a private in Brock?s Light Artillery. She also said she owned two cows and a buggy. 
There are many Jeffries listed around the Columbus, Georgia, Phenix City and Russell County, Alabama today, in 2006, who are descendents of Bolin and Rebecca's 
sons. A helpful e-mail message I received on this family is as follows: Hello Robert,(An Anne (Jeffries) Brown, of Florida, and a descendent of Bolin and Rebecca (Tuggle) Jeffries has been very helpful in sharing information on Bolin and Rebecca's family descendents. She also has a web site for information.) 
"Anne, Thanks for your note. Josiah Clayborne Banks who was born on 15 Feb. 1796 was my g,g,g,grandfather through his second wife Mary Ann Henderson. I've been to Josiah's grave near his Murder Ck. land. I'm also interested in the Tuggle family. My g,g,grandmother was Amanda Tuggle who married Wilson Lindsey 
on 27 Feb. 1854 in Jasper Co. I don't know for sure who her parents were. Can you help me with that???? Doug divey2@carolina.rr.com Robert, I sent Doug your email address and told him to contact you. He said you two have shared information in the past. It is interesting to see the name "Bowling" involved with the Tuggle line. Could that be where Bolin's name came from? I have heard from a few other Tuggle researchers that they feel some of the lines in Virginia Tuggle's book are 
wrong. The line for Lodowick Tuggle is okay, but I believe it was one of the John Tuggle's lines that had mistakes. Thanks again, Anne

8. ELIZABETH TUGGLE- She married John W. Smith on November 15, 1827 in Jasper County. On October 24, 1845 George W. Johnson, a 
schoolteacher of Chambers County, Alabama brought a case into the Troup County, Georgia court against Thomas Tuggle and John 
W. Smith for assaulting him in the spring of 1842. The 1960 census shows a John W. Smith lived in Troup County and another John W. Smith lived in the adjoining 
county of Meriwether. (I believe one of these was the father of the other, but I have not read the censuses yet, and I do not know which county this John W. Smith lived in.) 

9. HENRY TUGGLE- He married Lizzie Kelly in Jasper County on 
November 3, 1930.

10. CATHERINE TUGGLE- She died in July 1842 unmarried.
