• Notes

  Hugh McKeever was the third of eleven children born to Hugh McKeever and Mary Quinn. He was born in 1829 while his parents were residents of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Later, he would travel back to Ireland with his parents and two siblings. In 1939, he was ten years old when he, his parents and other siblings crossed the Atlantic Ocean once again. Hugh would have been an integral part of the clearing of the land and the development of the settlements on the three farms his father was in possession of when he died in 1857. His father died in 1857 when Hugh was twenty-eight years old. His father’s will stated, “to my well beloved son Hugh McKeever the sum of one hundred pounds currency to be raised and levied out of my property and paid to him by my Executors hereafter named on the first day of January, Eighteen hundred fifty eight.” Little research has been conducted on Hugh. To date the only record that has been found is “Country store license in Crapaud, issued to Hugh McKever January 13, 1865, license book number 6, page 246.” His sister, Anne, married to Frank McKenna, was living in the area at that time. Hugh died in 1871 from pneumonia.
