Donna, There was a Hugh SIDWELL listed in the 1800 Census of Kentucky in Bourbon Co, Ky. I didn't find him in the 1790 Kentucky census. There is also a H. SIDWELL in Cecil Co, MD in 1800, and Hugh SIDWELL in Chester Co, PA in 1790. Its possible these listings may be for the Hugh SIDELL you're looking for, or someone related to him. Many of our ancestors in Mason and surrounding Kentucky counties came from these areas in Maryland and Pennsylvania. For the SIDELL spelling, I found two John SIDELLs in New York in the 1790 census, and a John SIDELL and a Magdalen SIDELL in New York in the 1800 census. I'm not a SIDELL researcher, so I don't have any information on these lines.
