General Notes: Husband - Hugh Montgomery


He was born in Ireland and when yet a young man left his native land to seek his fortune in the New World. He landed in Philadelphia, whence he pushed on to Washington County, Pennsylvania, and October 21, 1803, he took up 200 acres of land embracing what was later the home tract of the Alexander Montgomery estate, located about seven miles southeast of Claysville; the farm was situated on the head-waters of Big Wheeling creek. Here he built a log cabin in the midst of the wilderness, and began to clear the land. He was a farmer all his life and in addition to the land which he first took up after settling in Pennsylvania, he afterward purchased over 600 acres, and at his death he bequeathed 150 acres to each of his six sons; he was also an extensive stock dealer. In politics he was a lifelong Democrat.
