By reading various books I've managed to track down some information which may help others but at the same time may connect me to some descendants.
Catharine Madison daughter of Humphry Madison and Mary Dickenson married first to Capt. Robert McClanahan (several spellings on that name) They had two sons and the Captain was killed at Pt. Pleasant in 1774. She immediately married William Poague born 1754. William's ancestry is listed as he was the son of George Poage and Rachel McClung Stevenson. George Poage was the son of Robert Poage and Elizabeth Preston of Ireland. Robert was the son of Thomas Poage b. 1674 Antrim Ireland and wife Mary Cochran.
The book History of Kentucky and Kentuckian Vol3 by E. Polk Johnson mentions the union of Catherine and William Poague.
The McCues of the Old Dominion book states that she was pregnant with son William when William was killed also at Pt. Pleasant.
Son William Poague was born in 1778 and the information listed for him is that he married and was the grandfather of George Poague who married Sarah McCue Wilson. But no further information.
George Washington Poague is listed as the spouse of Sarah McCue Wilson on the rootsweb gedcoms without parental information.
They are listed as he parents of George Daniel Poague b. 1859 in Missouri who married Susan Elanor Presgrove and had two children:
Judia V. b. 1910
Georgia M. b. 1915
Does anyone relate? Trying to fill in the gaps. Who were George Washington Poague's parents?
I am distantly related through Catherine Madison's third marriage to William Arbuckle who managed to survive the Pt. Pleasant battles.
