Thomas Tugwell (1630-1684) was born in England, probably in Somersetshire. He arrived in York County, Virginia in 1654, settling in Lancaster County. He married Mary Tarrant and they had five children. Their great-grandson, Joseph Tugwell (1739-1779) moved to Hertford County, North Carolina ca. 1771. Thomas Finch (ca. 1639-ca. 1700) immigrated from England to New Kent County, Virginia in 1663. He had at least one son, Edward (ca. 1660-ca. 1704). He and his wife, Martha had five children. Their descendant Benanna Alice Finch married Robert Rufus Tugwell (1847-1907) and they had eight children. Descendants live throughout the United States.
