General Notes: Husband - William Hough


He was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, a few months after the declaration of war against Great Britain. He received his early education in the district schools, and spent most of his life upon the farm of his parentage, where for more than half a century his labor and attention were given to agriculture. His first vote was cast for Gen. Andrew Jackson. Becoming dissatisfied with the policy of the Democratic party, he united with the Whig party, and continued in that faith until the organization of the Republican party, when he joined it, and continued an earnest sup-porter of its principles until his death.
He held a number of township offices, always discharging the duties satisfactorily. He was for many years a devoted member of the Presbyterian Church, and for several years a ruling elder in Little Redstone Church of that communion. During his latter years he was much afflicted with paralysis, which eventually terminated his life.
