The Hume Family — John Hume (1812-1880)
Not much is known about John Hume, but the research continues. The Scottish surname Hume is a variation of the older name Home. Thanks to the work of others with ties to Clan Home, a great deal is known about the ancestry and relations of our Hume family.
John Hume was born in Lauder, Scotland, to George Home and Elizabeth Moore. John, the sixth of seven children, immigrated to America some time between 1830 and 1850, as did some of his brothers and sisters.
After settling in Rush Creek, Logan County, Ohio, before 1850, John later served as a private in the 66th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War. He died in the Old Soldiers Home in Dayton, Ohio and is buried in the Dayton National Cemetery. (The official history of the regiment is included below.)
John's wife, Violletta Thompson, died in Danville, Vermillion County, Illinois some time between 1880 and 1900. The couple had five children, the youngest, John D. Hume, eventually settled in Minneapolis where he worked in the flour mills along the Mississippi River.
