According to family tradition, Hugh Hassan was born in 1736 in the Belfast Area of present day Northern Ireland. Sometime before 1779 he refused to bow to his Irish Lord ancestor and pulled him off his horse and beat him. He then fled with the help of friends and became a stowaway to America. His name will not be found on any ship lists. Some reports have Hugh being born in Pennsylvania. This is not believed to be correct.

Hugh settled in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania and was a member of the Presbyterian Church.  A document dated May 18, 1799 states that his family lived in Derry Township “upwards of twenty years.”

Sometime during the period 1781-1783 Hugh Hassan was a Private in Captain William Wilson’s Eighth Battalion Militia. His service is recognized by the Sons of the American Revolution and I was inducted into the  S.A.R. as a result of being his descendant.
