Welcome, this is a genealogy web site for "The Nugent Family". William Nugent settled in Laurens County South Carolina and his family spread out. My side of the Nugent's came from Laurens County South Carolina and went to Roark's Cove (also known as Civil District 9, Hawkerville, or Alto), Franklin County, Tennessee in the mid 1810's. John Nugent settled there and four more generations of Nugent's were born there. I am dedicating this site to my father George Derrel Nugent, the last generation born there, he will be missed but never forgotten. This site will be updated regularly. Any information about Nugent's or their descendants will be greatly appreciated.

This forum is an area that anyone can post a message to find and or help find a relative. The more people that post messages the more chances there are to find or be found by family. I also have a lot of related information that is not in my direct line so it is not on this site due to time restrictions. I will be checking posts as time permits and try to help if I can, so please feel free to post messages. Enjoy and have fun !!!!

To find the relative that you are looking for enter the first and or the last name only. If you get to refined in your search it may not work as I may not know their middle name or other details. Make note, to back up a generation from any page go to the bottom and click the Previous link. If you have any troubles let me know and I will try to help.

The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks: We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. - Samuel Adams

If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. - Samuel Adams

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. - Thomas Jefferson

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. - Thomas Jefferson

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves." - William Boetcker

The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. - Thomas Jefferson

The providence of God, which keeps up the generations of men, and so preserves that degenerate race, though guilty and obnoxious, in being upon earth. How easily could He cut it off without either a deluge or a conflagration! The divine patience lets the trees that cumber the ground not only grow, but propagate. As one generation, even of sinful men, passes away, another comes and will do so while the earth remains. Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it. - Matthew Henry
