Author: Scott George Giltner
Henry Baugh was born in Lancaster County, PA on 4 April, 1762. 
 
Henry volunteered in the Virginia militia on two separate occasions, 1775 and 1776, both for three month terms.  His first term was with  Capt. Robert Davis's company, Col. William Christian's regiment, under Gen. William Preston.  During this term of service, he marched from Montgomery County, VA through North Carolina into what is now middle Tennessee.  Upon his discharge he returned to Montgomery County.  In his second term he volunteered with Capt. Henry Francis' company, Major William Cloyd.  He again marched into North Carolina to the Moravian towns of Salem, Bethabara, and Bethania.  We was in the battle/skirmish at Shallow Ford on the Yadkin River in North Carolina, fighting the British and Loyalists.  He was later discharged in the Moravian towns and returned to Montgomery County, VA.
 
Henry married Maria Margaretta "Peggy" Phillippi in Montgomery County, Virginia on 28 March 1786.  Henry and Peggy were the parents of nine children:  Henry, Adam, John, Barbara, Christopher, Christine, Eve, William, and Catherine. Henry lived in Montgomery County, VA until 1808 when he relocated to Pulaski County, KY.  He resided in Pulaski County until the time of his death on 9 October 1836.  Peggy outlived her husband and is also buried in the Mount Zion Methodist Church cemetery.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
