The McHugh brothers moved their families to Lafayette Co., WI just about the time Wisconsin was admitted to the union in 1848, possibly a year later. John and Daniel were masons with mining experience. Lafayette Co. was lead mining country. John and his sons, including James, also farmed.
John and Catherine Wagner arrived in Lafayette Co. by 1851. Catherine was widowed by 1855.
James McHugh married Louisa Wagner. James died in 1898. Louisa and most of the kids moved to Chicago.
