General Notes: Husband - Hugh Lee


He and his family came from Ireland to America in 1789, and they first settled in the vicinity of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. He later purchased 219 acres of land of William McFarren in Cross Creek Township, Washington County, this land being known as Holmes' Victory. James Holmes made settlement in 1774, and received a Virginia certificate in 1780. A part of the tract was sold in 1808 to William McFarren, and he sold it to Hugh Lee as stated. The pioneer lived there until his death about the year 1815, and his remains lie in the old burying ground at Cross Creek.
He and his wife had a family of five sons and three daughters.
