I am most interested in the history of “Pue’s Occurences” at a much greater depth than the introductory paragraph on your web site. I was one of the many tourists to Ireland that benefitted from Lisa-Marie’s “historical walking tours of Dublin”. It was at the close of my 2 week holiday touring all around Ireland and it was a fantantist summary of the history I had learned in the previous weeks. I would say though, that it was slightly misnamed because it was more of a history of Ireland, than just Dublin. i.e. bigger and better tha even she thinks. I am 5 generations away from my Irish roots, one of which is the surname PUE – hence my interest at the outset of this note.
Thanks for your help!

I am looking into my Irish roots. My 7th generation GrandFather Dr. Michael Pue came to America in 1770 from Dublin Ireland. He traveled back and forth mand times. There was some mention in the Pue’s Occurences about (owner/plublisher”Richard Pue’s”) family moving to Maryland. Dr. Micheal Pue settled in Maryland. He married Mary Dorsey (D’Arcy), the daughter of Caleb Dorsey or Belmont, Maryland. Some Pue’s still live there. My branch of the family moved to Texas in the 1850′s to explory new land and opportunities. Six brothers settled near Bandera Texas. Two brothers including my G-G-Grandfather moved to San Antonio Texas and became a Texas Ranger Company D. I would like to share these family histories with my Irish family that maybe still remaining in Ireland. Thanks!

My line comes from Dr. Arthur Pue whose son is Michael but there has been several generations of doctors in this Maryland family. I, too, would like to hear stories of the family. The six brothers went to Texas and the remaining 5 girls stayed in Maryland. One of the girls would be my granddmother, Sophie.

Hi Dan, I would be interested in getting the book on the Pues. Can you tell me how? My Grandmother, Sophie married a Pindell thats my maiden name. Anyway what you know about the Bowen, Ridgley families. How are they connected with the Pues? There were 13 children and the boys left to go to Texas. The remaining girls stayed behind. None of the girls except one married. Dr. Michael Pue once had a beautiful place in Howard County back in the 1800s. I go there from time to time. Judy

Shalene Smith, My grandmother Lottie Pue had articles on Jasper Langley Pue. The Father and son. One of which died at Pearl Harbor. I have not check this site in a long time. Sorry, but I have to go for now. I have been reading about Eugene Pue father of John Pue and Maurice Pue around 1642. John and Maurice were sheriff’s in Dublin Ireland. “Dublin Assembly Rolls 1642″ I hope to get back to this site soon. I have our link to Jasper L. Pue, so I will add to this a soon as I can get back to it. Busy at work currently. Thanks for responding.

Shalene Smith, I see your grandmother was Lillian May Pue b. 1917, Her Father was Jasper Langley Pue b. Feb.1879 He married Mamie Beale and took a 2nd wife Lillie Rodarmer in Bexar Co. Texas. He is burried in the Pleasanton Cemetry in Atascosa Co. Texas. Your Grandmothers’ brother Jasper Langley Pue Jr. was kill at Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941 on the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor. You and I share the same garndparents at the point of Jasper Langley Pue’s Father Edward Buchanan Pue and Laura Anna Langely. I would very much like history on Lillian May Pue your grandmother as well as your great grandfather Jasper Langley Pue Sr. Did your grandmother marry a Smith or is that your married name?

Dan: My name is Patrice (Tracy) McCain, I am a cousin of Shalene Smith. I came across this webpage while looking for more informaiton on Doctor Michael Pue. My Grandmother is Lillie Mae Pue. I have posted some photos on my ancesstory page if your interested. My Great Grandfather (Jasper Langley Pue) was not a Texas Ranger as many seem to think, he was a policeman. His son, my Great Uncle (Jasper Langley Pue Jr.) that went down with the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor, his body was never found as so many bodies that were left on the ship, for 2 yrs. until they raised the Oklahoma and all remains (Bones) were all buried together in severel graves with head stones that only read (UNKNOWN). Mr. Paul Goodyear was one of the survivors on the USS Oklahoma and he is the one that has caried through to make sure the USS Oklahoma was reconized in the Punch Bowel in Hawaii with a wall with all the names of the lost on it. He still visits the grave sites of the Unknown soldiers. You can go to his website: http://www.USS oklahoma and watch some of the videos. I have also posted of photo of my Great Uncle Jasper on my Ancestory page and am trying to update and add what I can, as I get it. If you ever come across any photos of Michael Pue, please send one to me to post on my Ancestory pay. that is what I am looking for.
Thank you and it’s been interesting reading your post.

Linda, Sorry but I’m not the same Dan Pue. The Pue’s you are referring to are relatives, but unknown to me. One of the uncle’s from years past. I am still piecing all of these families together. Good luck on your quest.

Hello, I am also a relation of Michael pue. My family was derived from Dr. Arthur Pue Sr. I am the youngest male holding the Pue name in my family. Most of my family was from Baltimore and Bandera Texas. I received my information from The quest for the Pues of south Texas. I would love to find out more of my ancestry in Ireland during and before the time of Dr. Michael Pue. I hope we come from royal blood! Well anyways if you have anymore info for me it would be greatly appreciated. You can email me at Rpue@aol.com

Ronald please give me your line from Dr. Arthur Pue Sr.. Which son of Dr. Arthur Pue down to you. I will try to put something together. I have gotten busy lately so hang in there.

I am looking for the parents of Dr Michael Pue I have not been able to find anything as to who his parents are or where he came from. I am doing this research for my husband he didn’t know many of his family members beyond his immediate family. Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Misty I have not found anything either. Some interesting homes of the Pue’s: HO-87 “Bethesda”, HO-422 “Avoca”,HO-145 “Mount Joy”-”Sante Fe”, “The Wayside Inn”and “Grey Rock” are all still around and part of Maryland’s Historical Homes. I have tracted a William and Sue Pue to 1632 in Virginia, but have not made the connection. Many from this colony went to the Baltimore area, but it is sketchy.
14 August 2011 at 15:04 |
Dr. Pue’ home is in Howard County, MD on route 29 toward Baltimore. His home is not in Bethseda but I don’t know if he owned other homes.
Anyway, when can I get a copy of the book?
20 January 2012 at 20:53 |
Judy, I moved and I am looking for the Pue book. “Pue’s of Maryland” I bought an old copy from a lady in Maryland. The book however has some mistakes on the history. It is blue and glue bound. It does not have a regular book binding. You are right Dr. Pue’s home is not in Bethesda, its’ nickname was “Bethesda” as a place of healing since there were four generations of Dr.’s raised there. Maryland records “HO-87 “Bethesda” on the enternet will get you there to see pictures and Pue history. Other homes are listed above on the Maryland historical homes site. Each one has pictures of the homes and some family history is reveiled on each. Maps and locations. Maryland achives also has a picture of Dr. Arthur Pue and a few other Pue’s. And Tracy, your line Jasper Langley Pue Sr. was a San Antonio Police Officer. I would love to have more pictures of him. My brother Arthur Pue is a retired San antonio Officer and his son Daniel Pue is a current officer there. I am also an officer at the Live Oak Police Dept. Look on the Langely website and you will find his pictures on horseback and in uniform. The achives of the San Antonio Light Newspaper has stories about him. He was burned while saving his sister caught in a house fiire in Sept. 1914. She died and he was never able to return back to the police dept. due to the burns on his hands. You can get several stories about him from the old newspapers of that time. His son Jasper L. Pue Jr. died at Pearl Harbor. I am sorry I can not get here to post more often but here it is for now. I am looking for the parents of Dr. Michael Pue (Sr.) he was married to Mary Dorsey. Take care COUSINS!!
