Robert Nugent was the first of my family line to come to America in the 1700's from Ireland and soon became a land owner in St. Mary's County Maryland.
George and Mahalia Nugent, siblings of John Nugent, whom my line of Nugents descend from, are children of William and Hannah Merritt Nugent.
Historical Research of Catholic Churches & Ancestors "Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and West Virginia Maryland, home to the Conoy Indians, was the location of the English settlement of Lord Baltimore's Maryland. It began with the arrival of the passengers who had set sail on the Ark and the Dove from the Isle of Wight on November 22, 1633. They landed at St. Clement's Island in the Potomac River on the southwestern side of present-day St. Mary's County on March 25, 1634. The date is commemorated annually as Maryland Day. St. Mary's, the first Maryland county, was established in 1637, probably by an order of the Governor. The County was named in honor of Mary, the mother of Jesus."
John Nugent came to Shelby County, Indiana before 1850 with his 2 brothers George Washington and Jefferson and their sister Melissa. He is listed on the 1850 census for that county.
THE PIONEER FAMILIES OF CLARK COUNTY INDIANA http://www.rootsweb.com/~inclark/silver.htm "The Nugent’s whose name is found both on the Silver Creek church roll, and some of the tombstones here, are originally from Maryland. From Maryland they came to Kentucky in an early day. Three brothers came from Kentucky to Indiana, and settled at Springville. The elder of these three brothers was a wheel-wright by trade, but he soon died. His brother, John R. then took possession of his shop and continued the business for a number of years. John R. giving up the occupation of wheel-wright, turned his attention to farming, and finally bought the farm where Mr. George Nugent, his son, now lives. Here he reared quite a large family, of whom are Conner, Thomas, Clayborn, Jefferson, George and Richard."
