To update my Aug 2001 post:

I have received information that Hugh was the son of Morning WALLACE and Tabitha CURRENT. The story about his being found under a berry bush turns out to be the family myth. ALtho his son's death cert says he was born in Scotland, he was probably born in North Carolina.

Still seeking information on his wife, Sarah, who was also probably born in North Carolina. By 1870 he was living in Barborville, Knox County, KY, with his wife and son and two daughters. In 1880 he is found in Laurel County, Kentucky with his two married daughters. At this time his son is on the way to Oregon, and Sarah has apparently passed.

Thanks
