• Notes

  The members of the family who remained in MD spelled their name HAUGH and pronounced it something like "hawk" or "hoak.". Hence, the name sometimes appears as Hawk. Explaining why Barbara is noted as Barbara Hawk in the 2nd final account for the estate of John Sowers. ---

William Haugh at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/31116055 Note: Since will was proved 16 Oct 1843 I assumed the tombstone inscription actually reads 12 Oct 1843, not 12 Oct 1845. Names in Stone Vol 1 has his age at death as 71y 3m 8d. The age on the tomebstone is mostly unreadable now but I assumed when the book was written it was either readable or data came from cemetery records. Birth date calculate from 12 Oct 1843 death at age 71y 3m 8d is about 4 Jun 1772.
