H. H. SUGG, citizen and farmer, was born on the farm where he now lives in the Thirteenth District February, 20, 1831, and is a son of Cullen and Sidney (Conrad) Sugg. Our subject received the rudiments of his education in the schools near his home, and finished at Fayetteville and Forest Hill, Giles County. In November, 1855, he wedded Sallie Bruce,, a native of Lincoln County. She died the same year they were married, and May, 1858, our subject took for his second wife Mrs. Elvira, daughter of Cornelius and Mrs. Allen. The result of this union was an interesting family of two children: Edward and Kate E. (wife of J. K. Whitaker). After his marriage he located on the old home-place, and remained there until 1859, when he bought 320 acres nearby, and moved to that. At the end of ten years, he exchanged with his brother T. J. for the old home place, and now owns 340 acres of valuable land. In 1865, he wedded Miss L. Yowell, a native of Petersburg, Tenn., born in 1837, and to this union were born four children: Henry, Sabra, Susie and William. Mr. Sugg has been quite successful in business, and has given his children good educational advantages. He is a Democrat in politics, and he and wife are members of the Christian Church. In 1862 he enlisted in Capt. Freeman’s Company of Artillery, and was in the battle of Chickamauga and a great many artillery engagements. He was captured in 1863, but was soon afterward exchanged.
