General Notes: Husband - Hugh Henderson Morehead

---

He received a district school education and at the age of seventeen took up the trade of brick laying and plastering, and followed it a number of years, relinquishing it at last to engage with his brother Samuel in the leather business. They kept a store in New Castle, Pennsylvania, until about the year 1864, drawing a large patronage during that time and being very successful financially; in that year the business was closed out, and he then lived a rather retired life. He was a Whig and later a supporter of Republican candidates and Republican principles; he was a Presbyterian.

This family had been mainly an agricultural one until Hugh H. Morehead attained manhood, when he turned to other lines, becoming a bricklayer and plasterer. Later, in partnership with his brother, Samuel Morehead, he engaged in merchandising, and the leather store of the Morehead brothers became well known. In 1864, on account of some changes coming about in the general leather trade, the old, conservative merchants closed out.
