T.( 4 months old). Sarah E. went by the name Sallie, and John and Sallie were married Dec. 18, 1866, in Audrain Co., Missouri.
After Sallie (Sarah E.) died, John L. Bugg married Sarah Jane White on December 28, 1873, in Callaway Co., MO. The Bugg clan decided to relocate to Kansas, and John L.'s father, William Carter, now a widower, with his two younger, teen-age children settled in Big Bend Township, Republic County, Kansas before the 1880 Federal Census. William Carter Bugg's daughter, Agnes and husband James Cogswell and four children also traveled with them. Wm. C. Bugg's son William James and family would arrive in Kansas within the next 2 years.
Along with the William C. Bugg family, came son John L. and Sarah J., John's children with Sarah E. -- Laura and H. T. -- and the family has grown to include son DeWitt Clinton and daughter Minerva. While in Kansas, the family grew to include sons George and Albert, and after moving to Nebraska in 1882, son Jesse.
When the land was opened up for homesteading in Oklahoma at noon on April 22, 1889, the Great Oklahoma Land Rush included the families of William Carter Bugg and John L. Bugg. They were among the first homesteaders in Oklahoma Territory.
John L. Bugg was not to see the final proving of his claim in Oklahoma, because he died on May 14, 1891. But, John L. did become a father for the 8th time when son Charles was born in 1890. Sarah Jane, however, being the kind of woman that helped settle the West, proved the claim after settling on the property and making improvements for five years.
