Jesse was my great uncle. He was a sweet and thoughtful man. Very humble. He always sent me and my sisters a card for every occasion, usually with a cute poem he made up.

Born in Old Trap in 1891, Jesse Forbes Pugh wrote Three Hundred Years Along the Pasquotank; A Biographical History of Camden County, North Carolina, published in 1957 which still stands as the most comprehensive history of Camden County ever to exist. Pugh retired as Superintendent of Camden County Schools and was a member and Sunday School teacher of Wesley United Methodist Church at Old Trap and of the Hall Lodge 53 A. F. & A. M. Pugh did his graduate studies at the University of North Carolina and at Columbia University in New York City. Pugh was remembered as a caring teacher and served the Public School System for 33 years, 22 of which he was Superintendent in the Public Schools. Pugh passed away on March 22, 1976 at the age of 84. In 1959 Jesse Pugh undertook to re-activate the Camden County Historical Society. Pugh also wrote The Hotel in the Great Dismal Swamp, Historical Sketch of Camden County, and a tour guide entitled Journey Through Camden County. It is doubtful that anyone has ever made or will make such a significant contribution to the preservation of the history of Camden County as the gentleman, Mr. Jesse Pugh.
