son of A. B. and C. L. Baugh, was born in Powhatan county, Virginia, August 18, 
1827. At the age of twenty-two he became one of the argonautic ‘49ers who 
crossed the plains to the Pacific coast, and first mined at Stringtown, on the 
south fork of Feather river, in the winter of 1849, being the one to erect the 
first house in the place. He mined at various camps until 1855, when he came to 
Plumas county, where he since resided, with the exception of a year spent in 
Virginia City, Nevada. He has been engaged principally in the liquor business at 
Meadow valley, and at Crescent, his present home. In politics he is democratic.
