Donna, I have a Hugh who is my brickwall. I know nothing of his parents and/or siblings. He was born in PA in 1770, probably somewhere in the same area of PA that you describe. He may have had siblings born in Ireland, or Northern Ireland---perhaps some Scottish connections, too. An ancestor of mine made reference to "an older brother, born in Ireland" in some of her writings in the 1930's, but her reference isn't clear if she is referring to Hugh's brother, or maybe a brother of Hugh's father. The context was this "older brother" came back home [in the U.S.] after 8 years in the Revolution looking so much older, that the family didn't recognize him right off.
