David Hough was born April
15, 1821
in
South Huntingdon Twp., Westmoreland Co., PA. He was baptized Aug
5, 1821
.
His parents are Joseph Hough and Magdalena
(Polly) Waltz (Source) Hope Lutheran Church Hoffman's
South Huntingdon Twp., Westmoreland Co., Parish Records 1782-19115 by Paul
Miller Ruff. By the way, David had another family. His first
wife died in 1850. He had three children with her. I don't know if
you are interested in them or not.

think.

Dear
Al, There have been two books written on the Hough Family which I
have: Hough Genealogy by Elmer Hough (1936) ( I purchased this from The
Higginson Book Company, Salem, MA 01970, ph: 978-745-7170 for less than
$20.00) The other one is: The Boyd Family by Scott Lee Boyd which
you can purchase from the same company for around $50.00. They are both
excellent, well worth the money. I also have one on the Waltz family, but
do not know where you can get that one.
I want to tell you that the Houghs are of German decent. The first 8
pages of the Hough Genealogy by Elmer Hough is incorrect and that Jacob Hough
is not a descendant of Richard Hough of England
. It is believed that our Hough's
came from Frederick County, MD to PA. START WITH THE FAMILY OF Jacob
Hough and Charlotte Smith on page 8. I have talked to several
professional genealogist and they all agree that the author, Elmer Hough got
off the tract at this point.(backward)
I have found some errors but that is to be expected by any of us who have been
doing genealogy for any time period. No matter how hard we try, there is
always something. So, keep my note if you plan to buy the above books.
Now to answer you question on David's parents and first wife.
His parents: Joseph Hough b. March 29, 1780 in Westmoreland Co., PA d.
December 7, 1846 in South Huntingdon Twp., Westmoreland Co., PA. He
married Magdalena
(Polly) Waltz abt 1802, b. Apr
18, 1781
in
Waltz Mills, Fayette Co., PA d. Jan 1, 1842
in South Huntingdon Twp.,
Westmoreland Co., PA.
There children:
1. Daniel Hough
2. Sarah H. (Sallie) Hough
3. Capt. John Hough
4. Maria (Mariah) Hough
5. Solomon Hough
6. Joseph Hough
7. Jacob Hough
8. Charlotte Hough
9. David Hough (your grandfather)
10. Paul Hough
then Joseph Hough married Nancy Finley bet. 1842-1848 b. Oct 31, 1799 in
South Huntingdon Twp., Westmoreland Co., PA d. December 9, 1871 Westmoreland
Co., PA. When Nancy Finley married Joseph Hough she was a
widow. Her first husband was William Bell. Nancy Finley and William
Bell are the parents of David Hough's (your grandfather) first wife, Nancy
Bell. (Are you confused yet?)
David Hough married Nancy Bell b. Sept 4, 1824
in South Huntingdon Twp.,
Westmoreland Co., PA d. August 8, 1850
. She is buried in Sewickly
Church Cemetery, Westmoreland Co., Pa.
David and Nancy
's children are:
1.Theodore Benton Hough b. Sept 5, 1843
in West Newton, Westmoreland Co.,
PA.
(He moved to bef. 1870, Corwin Twp., Logan Co., Illinois
. I found him in 1870 census living
with the James Powers family but have nothing else on him.
2. Joseph B. Hough b. Sep 9, 1845
West Newton, Westmoreland
Co., PA. d, July 24, 1859.He is buried in Sewickley Church Cemetery,
Westmoreland Co., Pa.
3. Josephine B. Hough b. abt 1847 (See note below)
4. William B. Hough b. May 20, 1848
West Newton, Westmoreland Co., PA
d. Oct 7, 1868
.
If you look at the 1860 census PA, Westmoreland Co., PA, p. 1231
Hough, Nancy 58 (this is your grandfather's (David) mother-in-law and his
first wife Nancy's mother.
Bell
, William 30 (Nancy Finley's
son by first husband)
Hough, Theodore B. 16
Josephine B.
13
William B. 10
Apparently she raised her daughter's and son in laws children after Nancy
died.
On Josephine Hough, I
have seen her listed several places as being the child of Joseph Hough
and Nancy Finley Bell Hough. However, she would have been too old to have
a child b. in 1847. I really believe she is the Josephine (3rd child of
David Hough and Nancy Bell)
Josephine F. (Josie) Hough b.Nov 23, 1847 West Newton, Westmoreland Co., PA
d. Sept 8, 1871 md. J. Logan Brown on August
23, 1869.
Children of J. Logan Brown and Josephine Hough
1. Nancy R. Brown, b. Nov 17, 1869 Westmoreland Co., PA. d. Dec
25, 1870
Westmoreland Co., PA
2. Anne E. Mae Brown b. July 3, 1871 Westmoreland Co., md Franklin L.
(Frank) Gress abt. 1892. He was born February 1859 PA.
My notes: She has no children. In 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 living
in Southwest Greensburg
, Westmoreland Co., PA.
I found your grandparents David Hough and Amanda Guffy and children in 1860
census, living in Elizabeth Twp., Allegheny County
,
PA.
Then in 1870 and there-after
in Perry Twp., Noble Co., IN. You probably already know that.
If you can give me any additional info on your family. I would appreciate
it. Ancestry makes it difficult since they no longer let you put in
living people.
If I can help you in any way, let me know. Hope I did not make any typo
errors.

Dear Al, I found David Hough
and Nancy in 1850 PA Census, Westmoreland Co., West Newton
, p. 276. Josephine is
not listed as one of their children so. Guess I am wrong about that.
I just do not know who she is now. . I guess I will just keep
looking. So, don't list her as one of David and Nancy
(Bell
) Hough's children. Sorry
about that.

Nancy ,
I have been concerned that none of David Hough's children with Nancy Bell are
listed in the 1860 census record. If
Nancy
died, the children should still have been with David.
I think I found Nancy Bell Hough and the children in 1860, living with the
Bell
family.

Note: The original census record clearly shows that the "Joseph" above is the

Did you have any other information to tie the
