Middletown township.  He was born in Bensalem township, 
Bucks county, December 28, 1838, being a son of Jesse G. and

father was born in Montgomery county, and his mother in 
Philadelphia county, Pa.  Hugh B. was one of a family of six 
children, and from his youth up has been engaged in 
agricultural pursuits, which he still follows with success.  
From 1858 until 1885 he carried on the butchering business 
in connection with farming.  He makes a specialty of a fine 
stock of cows, and is also extensively engaged in raising 
poultry. He resided on the farm from 1858 to 1885, when he 
removed to Hulmeville, but still carries on farming.  In 
1876 he married Sarah Maitland, who was at one time a 
successful school teacher.  Mr. and Mrs. Webster have two 
children, Jesse G. and Rachel E.   Mrs. Webster is a member 
of the Presbyterian church.  Mr. Webster is an enterprising 
and energetic business man, and in politics is a republican.
