Most of the Duggins lines in the United States appear to descend from Ellick Duggins Sr born in Ireland in 1725. Not much else is known about him at this time except that he had 4 sons: Ellick Duggins Jr born about 1747; Alexander Duggins Sr born about 1750 in Amherst County, Virginia; William D Duggins Sr born about 1751; and Benjamin Duggins born about 1765.
The two main lines that have been identified are these two sons of Ellick Duggins Sr. Alexander Duggins Sr. born about 1750 was the father of David Duggins Sr.; Elijah Duggins Sr.; Alexander Duggins Jr.; Daniel Duggins, Richard Duggins, William Duggins, Stephen Duggins Sr. and Priscilla Duggins. William D. Duggins Sr. may not be the son of Ellick born about 1751 was the father of 13 children: William D. Duggins Jr.; John D. Duggins; George Duggins; Robert Duggins; James Duggins; Lewis H. Duggins; James Duggins; Pouncy Duggins; Jefferson Duggins; Fleming Perkins Duggins; Franklin Adderson Duggins; Thomas Crutchfield Duggins; Edmund Pendleton Duggins and Jane Duggins.

Joyce Harris: " My line stops at Malinda Duggins who gives her birth date 1812 in Ark. Married John Yokum 1828 Lived in Lawrence Co. Mo. 1850 census with all their children. They sold their land in Lawrence Co. 1851 and came west to Oregon where there is much history here about them. The only other name I know of in Malinda's family is Henry Morton who she stated was a nephew who helped them drive a wagon on their trip west. Don't know any more of him. In my search I have located another Malinda Duggins.1880 from the line of Ellick Duggins b.1725, Alexander Duggins Sr. b. 1750, Daniel b. 1773, John b.1794, Malinda J.bnb.1850. So I think maybe I'm in the same family and somehow must find her spot. Do you know who is working on this line? I would like to touch base. I see that Stephen Duggins b. 1775 is a brother to Daniel Duggins b.1773, and that Stephen Duggins lived in Ozark when he died 1832, which gives me even more hope of the same family......Same time and region. Thank you for any help on this."
