Died:
Hugh is likely buried in Purdy's cemetery where his two wives are found, however I have not found his name on any list of burials, nor does the death record show where he was buried.

Married to Elizabeth "Betsey" Reid in Ireland. The first two of their nine children (James and Samuel) were born there; sometime between 1835 and 1839, they emigrated to Canada, and the remainder of their children (John, William, Martha, Hugh, Thomas, Benjamin, and Jacob) were born in Ontario. Betsey died in 1870 and was buried in Purdy's cemetery, along with their sons John (1839-1868) and Thomas (1850-1881), according to lists of interments.
