Notes:

• Samuel Seawall noted his death in his diary. [2]
• Spelling of surname for this family alternated between Haugh and Hough. If a direct male descendant took a Y-DNA test, it would be interesting to see if he matches the descendants of the Hough individuals from Cheshire, England who arrived in America in the 1600's.
