Note: Archible was the son of Daniel and Mary (McMahan) Duggan and a brother of the Anne Duggan who wed Pleasant Shults. There has been considerable confusion about his name; some list him as Archable, some as ARCHIBALD. Apparently his name was ARCHABLE and when he joined the Army they managed to change his name to ARCHIBALD. That's the name that appears on his military headstone and apparently the source of most of the confusion. His name on all his pension applications was ARCHABLE. He was a Union Army veteran of the Civil War, Co E, 2nd Tenn Cavalry. His records indicate that he enlisted 16 Sep 1862 at both Covington, KY and Sevierville, TN(?). He had had a prior period of Army service in 1846-1847. He was discharged 5 July 18 65 in Nashville. In late December of 1863 his horse fell on him while in action near Murfreesboro and caused the injuries for which he later drew a pension. Anna inherited a large amount of land from her father, Martin, probably in Jones Cove, the 15th civil district of Sevier County. Archable and Anna remained in Jones Cove until about 1880. (It's interesting to note that in January 1874 when he filed his first pension application (filed in Sevier County) he was living in Marshall, Madison County, NC! The witnesses on that first application were J. W. Shults and James
McMahan.) In 1881 they sold most of Anna's Sevier County holdings and bought a farm in Strawberry Plains (Sevier Co). Although his address is later listed as variously Sevier County or Jefferson County, Strawberry Plains or Kodak, they apparently remained there in the same place the rest of their lives and are buried there.
