My grandfather was Hugh Burritt McCOLLUM b 1857 in Augusta, Bracken Co., KY, d 1923 in Poland Twp., Mahoning Co., OH, son of Hugh McCOLLUM b 1807 d 1900 in OH and Minerva Jane MAXWELL b 1821 in Adams Co., OH, d 1909 in Chicago, IL. Hugh Burritt McCOLLUM m Elmira Reeve PIKE in 1884 in Berea, Madison Co., KY. > >It is my great-grandfather Hugh McCollum, refered to as "Dr. >Hugh," that is most elusive. He married Minerva Jane Maxwell in >Augusta, Bracken Co., KY in 1843. Their children were born >in Felicity, Clermont Co., OH and some in Augusta, Bracken Co., KY >which appear to be on opposite sides of the Ohio river. His children >were: Joseph William b 1843 in Felicity, Clermont, Co., OH; Emma >Louise, b 1845; Anna Belle, b 1847 in Jefferson, Ashtabula Co., OH; >Charley C., b 1850; Clara Jane, b 1853; James Leslie b. 1855 in >Augusta, KY; Hugh Burritt b 1857 in Augusta, KY; George Thomas b 1860; Frank Sigel b 1862; Frederick Winans b 1865; and Sallie Josephine b ? >I couldn't find a KY death certificate for any of these children. I >did find in the 1870 census, Hugh McCollum and family living in >Augusta, Bracken Co., KY, the same small town where my grandfather was born. I believe that "Dr. Hugh" was a teacher at the methodist college at Augusta, KY, and his parents and siblings must be "back east" in Trumbull or Mahoning Co., with the MCCOLLUMS that came from NJ in the early 1800s. >Do the above names ring any bells? > >Doug Garber > > > >
