NOTES FROM BOOK "COWPERTHWAITE" BY WOODRIDGE: Hugh(3) married Keziah Atkinson 8/15/1717, he married Hannah, daughter of John and Hannah (Shinn) Atkinson on april 19, 1737, she had been born June 7 1719.
Hugh (3) probably spent most of his early life on Long Island. After his father moved to New Jersey, he apparently remained there, living with his uncle. It appears that several of his sisters also remained on Long Island until they married. After his uncle's death, in 1730, the Flushing Meeting gave him 5 mo. (July 5, 1730 a Certificate of Clearance which he took with him to his parents in Burlington, N. j. His first marriage to Keziah Atkinson in 1734 did not follow Quaker custom and he must have been disowned by them at that time. His second marriage to Hannah Atkinson was by license. It is possible that Keziah was an older sister of Hannah, since Hannah's brother Samuel later named one of his children Keziah. However, there were several other Atkinson families living in Burlington at that time to which Keziah may have belonged.
In 1749 Hugh (3) bought land on the west side of Crosswicks Creek, a few miles west of New Egypt in Upper Freehold, Monmouth Co., where he moved with his family. He died there between 1755 and 1758, intestate.
NOTE: John served in Civil War.
