General Notes: Husband - Hugh Martin


Captain, afterward major, Hugh Martin, came from Ireland to America about the year 1770, and afterward served with distinction in the revolution as an Indian scout and commander of reconnoitering parties, in which capacity he met with many unusual and dangerous experiences. After the war Maj. Martin purchased 1,500 acres of land in western Pennsylvania. At his death this was divided between his three sons.

Although born in the North of Ireland, he was of Scotch-French extraction. [BOBBC, 128]

About the year 1798, he took up a tract of fifteen hundred acres of land, a portion of which was near Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and the rest extended into Darlington township, Beaver County.
