First born child of Joe and Lulu Wilson. Raised in Texas, and Oklahoma. After his father had a long illness and then business failure in Oklahoma, Hugh and his father went by covered wagon to Rocky Ford, Colorado looking for work in farming and a place for the growing family to live. The rest of the family followed by train, his mother nearly ready to birth the last of what would be 10 children living to adulthood.

He married Nora Strickland. His June 1917 WWI draft registration shows them married and living in Wileetka, Oklahoma. They stayed in Oklahoma for at least the first decade of their marriage. They had two children.

His wife Nora died in Colorado. Hugh went back to Texas where he was born and had many cousins and other extended family.

Hugh was a farmer. He was likely named after his mother's father, Hugh C. Caldwell, a politically active man in Dallas County, Texas.
