General Notes: Husband - Hugh Lee
He was born in County Donegal, Ireland, and came with his father to Washington County, Pennsylvania. He was reared to agricultural pursuits, which he followed through life. He was a member of the Cross Creek Presbyterian Church, and in 1818 was elected an elder for life.
He was three years of age at the time of the arrival of the family in this country. [TCHWWC, 549] This would put his birth in the year 1783.
He was the only one of his siblings to remain at home and after the deaths of the parents he became the owner of the home farm. In the same year he purchased one hundred and sixty acres adjoining what he had inherited. At that time business was very much depressed from the effects of the War of 1812, and wheat was the principal product of his farm, and sold as low as twenty-five cents per bushel. Sheep-raising, later one of the principal industries of Washington County, was then confined to a few coarse ones for family use. In 1817, Hugh Lee, Gen. Thomas Patterson, and William Vance purchased a few fine sheep from the importation of Wells and Dickerson. The flocks steadily increased, others embarked in the same business, and it grew until it became the staple industry of the county. He remained on the home place until his death.
He and his wife had a family of ten children.
General Notes: Wife - Hannah Orr
She was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and with her parents moved west of the mountains in 1790, and after a time settled at Holliday's Cove, Virginia. She was one of the first subjects of what was called the "falling work," a religious revival which visited all the churches in the northern end of Washington County, Pennsylvania. She was present at Cross Roads, Cross Creek, during the falling exercises, and, in company with her mother, attended what was termed the "Big Sacrament" at Upper Buffalo, at which place it was supposed ten thousand persons were present and over fifteen hundred communicants.
When she died, in the ninety-fifth year of her age, she was the last of the original members belonging to the church of Cross Creek at the settlement of Rev. John Stockton, D. D.
