The error is that the father's name was not Hugh but George. The error is repeated in several documents available on the Web and so it's difficult to trace its source. It has been suggested that George gave his own name as Hugh on entering Carolina, perhaps to hide his tracks in some way because of some unspecified misdeanor he had committted in Britain.</p>
