He and his wife (a cousin of his) immigrated to America in 1741. He lived near his brother, Robert, in Augusta Co., VA where they lived out the rest of their lives. They had 3 children. Their son Thomas was killed as a teenager at the Battle of Kerr's Creek. Their daughter, Mary, married John Cartmill. Their son John was an aid to General Washington and was an ancestor to our current day Senator, John McCain. He received a patent for his 200 acres of land in Beverly Manor (later to become Augusta Co., VA) in 1746, three years before his brothers obtained land.... and at least one more piece of land at the same time as brothers Robert and James.

From James Kimble Young's text, "The proving of this grant for 586 acres costing 17 pounhds, 11 shillings, and 7 pence was on 10 Mar 1746 and recording ordered on 14 Apr 1747. The original deed was still in existence in 1933, but since then has been misplaced or lost.

Here are some of the records that pertain to a Hugh in Chalkelys. The ones from 1755 forward might belong to a different Hugh Young.
