Obituary from the FAUQUIER DEMOCRAT, Warrenton, Virginia, Thursday, January 10, 1952:
C H McClung, Local Merchant, Dies at Auburn
Charles Hugh McClung, 72, for many years a merchant in Warrenton, died suddenly Saturday at his store at Auburn.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Warrenton Presbyterian Church, with interment in the Presbyterian Church cemetery at Greenwich.
Mr McClung was born in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1879. He began work with the Memphis and Charleston Railroad in
Memphis, about 1895, and when this road was absorbed by the Southern Railway he came to Washington and was with
the Southern there until 1917. For several years he was station agent for the Southern at Warrenton and later was agent for the American Express Company.
Mr McClung operated several old-fashioned country stores in Warrenton and for the past few years had had a similar
business at Auburn.
His first mercantile enterprise here was an open-air market, located where Lerner Brothers Store now is. Later he had a general store at the corner of Lee and South Fifth Streets. When the building was sold to Walter Chrysler he moved the business to the location on South Fourth Street where it later became Hoffman's Market, when Mr McClung moved to Auburn.
He is survived by a son, Hugh McClung of Tennessee, a daughter, Mrs Edward J Jones of Warrenton, a sister, Mrs
Laura Klare of Memphis, and a number of nieces and nephews. | McClung, Charles Hugh (I21219)

(NOTE: These facts are copied this 17th day of August 1904
by Alfred M. Haggard and Finch Haggard from memoranda in
the possession of Melvin Haggard Desoto, IA. He secured
this from David Gentry Haggard within the last 5 years.)
A book by David Dawson Haggard Published in 1899 states
that James Haggard is the first known Haggard in America.
He migrated to America about 1699 when he landed in
Norfolk, Norfolk County, VA. He is said to have been
educated for the ministry but upon arriving in Virginia was
put to teaching school. Among his pupils was Elizabeth
Gentry, born about 1685, a daughter of Nicholas Gentry, Sr.
They eloped to NC where they had a large family. Later they
returned to Eastern Virginia. Some records show that James
Haggard married Mabel Gentry, sister to Elizabeth, in 1721.
That would imply that the last four children were from this
union.
1678 -- James Haggard, (identified in the book by David
Dawson Haggard) "The traditions of our fathers are that one
James Haggard, born ca. 1678, Bradenham Hall, England, son
of a wealthy aristocratic Lord of England, was educated for
the ministry. He joined the English Army as a private
against his father's wishes. Lord Haggard felt that the
family's social status would warrant a commission) so Lord
Haggard paid handsomely to have young James Haggard
smuggled out of England aboard a merchant vessel bound for
Norfolk, Norfolk County, VA. The unscrupulous captain
knowing Lord Haggard would never admit to such a scheme
threw young James Haggard in with other indentured servants
and sold a contract for his services to a wealthy planter,
thus collecting for James' passage twice. Young James
Haggard landed in Norfolk, Norfolk County, VA, ca. 1698
(prior to his 21st birthday).
"The wealthy planter finding young James Haggard well
educated put him to teaching school. There was connected
with this school a young woman whose charms so impressed
him that they eloped to NC and were married since it was
illegal for a bonded servant to marry in Virginia. They had
a large family including: Nathaniel, Edmund, Zechariah, and
Gray or Granville."
1678 James Haggard, (identified in the book by David Dawson
Haggard) "The traditions of our fathers are that one James
Haggard, born ca. 1678, Bradenham Hall, England, son of a
wealthy aristocratic Lord of England, was educated for the
ministry. He joined the English Army as a private against
his father's wishes. Lord Haggard felt that the family's
social status would warrant a commission) so Lord Haggard
paid handsomly to have young James Haggard smuggled out of
England aboard a merchant vessel bound for Norfolk, Norfolk
County, VA. The unscruplous captain knowing Lord Haggard
would never admit to such a scheme threw young James
Haggard in with other indentured servants and sold a
contract for his services to a wealthy planter, thus
collecting for James' passage twice. Young James Haggard
landed in Norfolk, Norfolk County, VA, ca. 1698 (prior to
his 21st birthday).
The wealthy planter finding young James Haggard well

him that they eloped to NC and were married since it was
illegal for a bonded servant to marry in Virginia. They had
a large family including: Nathaniel, Edmund, Zechariah, and
Gray or Granville.
James Hoggard/Haggard, son of Anthony Hoggard, identified
in 1723 Over-wharton Parish, Stafford County, VA, as a
tobacco planter with three sons. Nearest neighbors, also
tobacco planters, were James French and William Rice. The
book by David Dawson Haggard identifies him as a
schoolteacher with four sons. Records in the same area
include two others believed to be brothers of those named.
Mr. Leland Gentry identifies James Haggard's wife as
Elizabeth Gentry, baptised 29 August 1687, St. Peter's
Parish, New Kent County, VA, daughter of Nicholas Gentry.
(Undoubtedly there were daughters not shown.)
