Son of Thomas McCormick 1702-1762 and Elizabeth Carruth 1705-1766. Hugh McCormick, was fourth son of Thomas McCormick, and his descendants. His younger brother Robert, b. 1738, in Dauphin (Now Lancaster) county, and was the first McCormick to be born in America.

Extractions from: Egle, William Henry. Pennsylvania Genealogies; Scotch-Irish and German. (Harrisburg, Dauphin, Pennsylvania, United States: Lane S. Hart, Printer and Binder, 1886), Page 446, 447.
William, Hugh, and Robert McCormick were among the first settlers and land-owners within the present limits of Juniata county, Pa. They, and their brother Thomas, took out warrants in 1755, for a tract of land located two miles north of Mifflintown, along the Juniata River, in Fermanagh township, and the three first-named settled thereon, about that time.
On several occasions they were driven out by the (American) Indians, the last being in 1786, when they fled for refuge to Huntingdon county. They returned home in 1787, and immediately thereafter Hugh McCormick erected a large stone house on his property, which it is said was built partly with the view of using it as a fort in case of another (American) Indian raid, the windows being made high and narrow. This house is yet standing (1886), apparently, without a flaw or seam in its walls. The brothers are described as being very large and robust men, fond of frontier life, and in every way suited to its dangers and excitements. (see photo)
Hugh served in the War for Independence, and Mrs. Catharine Laird, a granddaughter, says of him: "Grandfather Hugh McCormick lived at the beginning of the Revolutionary war on the Juniata river. Grandmother said that when he came home from the war he was covered with rags. In his knapsack he had only a conch shell, which she kept until her death, and gave to our mother to be handed down as a memento of his service." That shell is now in possession of his grandson, Col. George M. Chambers, of Jacksonville, Ill.
Hugh, served as a Revolutionary Patriot in 1776, with also being described of " enduring many privations". Page 208, Egle; Family record and biography. Hugh McCormick, (fourth son of Thomas McCormick), and his descendants. Other notes: as a private in CP. Gibson Co., of Militia, 4th battalion of Cumberland, Pa.(S. McCormick).
Hugh married in 1767, to Catherine Sanderson , daughter of George Sanderson of Middleton township, Cumberland county, PA. Her sister Martha Sanderson, married to Robert McCormick, which was Hugh's younger brother. Two sisters married two brothers. Martha and Robert resided in Augusta County, KY, (now West Virginia).
