Regarding his birth and parentage, the FindAGrave profile says:
"I have not discovered Hugh's birth record but am assuming he was born in Ireland because his father, James Laughlin, was born in Dublin, his mother, Elizabeth, was also born in Ireland. James and Elizabeth immigrated from Ireland to the United States in 1742 with their five children, Hugh, Elizabeth, Mary, Margaret, and William. Hugh would have been 27 years of age at that time."
Elizabeth his wife was named as the executrix of the will of James Laughlin; she was to receive all his personal estate; his son William was to receive five shillings within a year of his father's decease in addition to what he had already received; his son Hugh Laughlin was to receive five pounds under the same condition; his daughter Margaret Laughlin was to receive three pounds under the same condition; his daughters Elizabeth Alford and Mary Passemore were to receive all their father's full rights of a certain tract of land that he bought of Jeremiah Chamberlin near Conowago on the west side of the Susquehanna; they were to pay their mother 15 pounds each within a year of their father's decease. The will was drawn 8 March 1759 and proven 12 June 1759.[1]
