SUGG, CONRAD, HOLBERT, WILSON, THURSTON



Hon. L. D. SUGG, an old and respected farmer, was born in Robertson County,

Tenn., March 3, 1826, and is a son of Cullen E. and Sidney (CONRAD) SUGG.

The father was born in Robertson County, Tenn., in 1798.  He was of Scotch

descent and was married about 1822, and was a blacksmith and farmer by

occupation.  He came to Lincoln County about 1826.  The mother was born in

Springfield, Tenn. in May, 1802, and died in February, 1886. His people

first went to Davidson County at a very early date and built block-houses

to protect themselves from the Indians.  The father died in 1849.  Our

subject in youth received the rudiments of his education in the schools

near home, and afterward completed his education in the Viny Grove

Institution, under Parson Bryson and Prof. John A. Steward.  In 1856 he

married Margaret HOLBERT, daughter of Pleasant and Nancy HOLBERT*.  Mrs.

SUGG was born in Lincoln County July 9, 1836, and her marriage resulted in

the birth of seven children:  Douglas, Ethel (wife of E. WILSON), Naoma,

Eula (wife of Edgar THURSTON of Alabama), Sidney, Nancy and William.  Mr.

SUGG now owns 600 acres of good land, all well improved.  He is a man well

known throughout the county, and is much esteemed for his many good

qualities.  In 1878 he was chosen to represent the people in the House of

Representatives, and that position he filled to the satisfaction of his

constituents and in a creditable manner to himself.  He is a Democrat and a

member of the Masonic fraternity.
