Hinshaws Encyl of Quaker Genealogy has several references to Azariah and Hannah of "96 District, South Carolina", having lived at Hopewell and Center MM in North Carolina. It appears that Azariah was deceased by 1800. Records prior to 1835 have been lost.

Azariah4 Pugh (Thomas3 , Ellis2 , [Unknown]1 ap Hugh) was born 27 Oct 1721 in Hopewell, Prince George, VA, and died 20 Oct 1794 in Newberry Co., SC. He married Hannah Beals 26 Aug 1746 in York Co., PA, daughter of William Beals and Elizabeth Hollingsworth. She was born 31 Mar 1729 in Frederick Co., VA, and died 1808 in SC.
Notes for Azariah Pugh:
The Hannah Pugh that married Reason Reagan may have been the daughter of Azariah Pugh. Both were in Newberry Co., NC at the right time, and both families of Pugh and Reagan migrated to Ohio. Records of descendants in a diary indicate that she was of the 'Pugh family of Ohio.' This Azariah has a daughter Hannah, and records indicate she married James Coppock. Did she have an earlier spouse? Or was she 31 when she married.
