New Garden Township
p. 654 & 655

Moses Hough was born in New Garden Township, Wayne Co., Ind., May 26, 1820, a 
son of Jonathan and Gulielma (Hutchins) Hough, natives of Surry County, N.C., 
who came to Wayne County in the fall of 1811 and settled in New Garden 
Township, on the section where Fountain City is now located. It was heavily 
timbered and there was not a white settler in the county north or northwest of 
them. The first winter they suffered from the extreme cold, but in a few years 
they were rewarded for their privations by good crops and a comfortable home. 
To them were born ten children, two of whom are living. They were members of 
the Society of Friends and were always among the foremost in the upbuilding of 
every good cause. Their home was a refuge for the slave and they were 
especially active workers in the cause of temperance. Mrs. Hough died in 1859, 
aged seventy-five years, and Mr. Hough in September, 1867, aged eighty-three 
and a half years. Our subject was married in 1842 to Peninnah, daughter of 
Luke and Avis (Cox) Woodard. Of their eight children, but five are living. 
They are members of the Society of Friends. Mr. Hough has always been a 
farmer, and in connection with farming has engaged in saw and grist milling.
