Mr. Dugger [son, Thomas] comes of old Revoluationary stock, his great-great-grandfather having come to the United States from France with General Lafayette and served as a soldier in the Revolution, while his great-grandfather served with General Jackson at New Orleans. His grandfather was one of Illinois' earliest pioneers, having come to that territory about 1800, settling in Madison county, near the present city of Highland, Illinois, and each generation has furnished a large quota of soldiers to the country's various wars. The father followed farming in Illinois, where he owned two hundred and forty acres of land. He died upon his homestead and the property is still in the possession of the family. Mr. and Mrs. Dugger had ten children, four of whom are still living: George W., a resident of Los Angeles, California; Thomas L., of this review; Mrs. Mary Hulme, whose home is in southern California; and Samuel B., who resides on the old homestead in Illinois.

The Linn County, Oregon, Historical Society includes this information on L.W. Dugger:
He [son Thomas} was born in Macoupin county, Illinois, December 17, 1846, a son of Leonard W. and Sarah (Penn) Dugger, the former a native of Tennessee and the latter of Illinois. Brought by his parents to Illinois when but three years of age, the father was reared and educated in Madison county, that state. After completing his studies he took up farming and purchased land in Macoupin county, which he improved and developed, continuing its operation for a number of years. He then disposed of his farm and started for the west, coming to Oregon in 1876, but after remaining in the state for a year he returned to Illinois and purchased his old farm in Macoupin county, which he continued to operate during the remainder of his life, his death occurring in 1882. His wife survived him for three years, passing away in 1885.
