Internet mistake- He was NOT born in Aiken!! He was born very, very close to Rocky Swamp Methodist Church in Orangeburg, S.C. where his parents had been living, in the "Forks of the Edisto"
Hugh, wife Antoinette and Laura, his daughter, were originally buried on their plantation land.
2nd Wife: 1880 census gives her name as Marsilla. In the 1900 census, her name was spelled Morcella, she was living with her oldest stepson on what was Hugh and Antoinette's home plantation. They give her birthdate as 1824. I always heard that her last name was Geoff. Others believe her name as Marcilla Jane Wolf.
They were married 2 March 1876 is a mystery as nobody seems to know who her family and origin was and yet, in that area of S.C. everyone was related to everyone else, even if just by marriage.
