General Notes: Husband - Hugh McCutchen

---

When a young man he emigrated from Ireland to America, landing in New York about the year 1786, all he brought with him being the clothes on his back, a stout heart, and strong and willing hands. After leading for a time a somewhat wandering life-working here and there-he finally settled in Fallowfield township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and after some five years, during which time he was employed in various occupations, he invested his entire earnings in a small stock of goods, and embarked in mercantile business. He became very successful, enjoying a wide and profitable trade among the pioneer families.

Both he and his wife lived to a ripe old age, she preceding him to the grave some few years. Politically he was a Whig, and was remembered as having been an oft-sought local adviser in his party.

The following interesting family anecdote is related: When Grandfather McCutchen was about to board the ship that was to carry him across the Atlantic from his native land, he and a brother, who had come to see him off, exchanged watches, each one agreeing to treasure the other's timepiece as a family heirloom to be handed down to posterity. This compact each kept faithfully; yet, although carefully and jealously guarded, the watch that came to America was eventually stolen, after having been "handed down" to a grandson.

He and his wife had six children.
