Sally Serrin was born on January 6, 1799, in Greene County, New York. She married Ira Hughes (or Huse) (b. February 22, 1796 in Durham, Greene County, New York; d. June 1, 1878) on October 13, 1822. Ira Hughes was a cooper by trade, and in 1834 Sally, Ira and their family removed to the West, making the journey by the Erie canal and overland by team. From Buffalo they traveled by the lake to Cleveland, reaching that city in its infancy. In Huntsburg township they bought land, only ten acres being cleared at that time, and the only improvement being a log house. Their sons helped them place the land under cultivation. Sally spun and wove all the clothing of the family, and reared eleven of the thirteen children born to her (the twins, Edward and Edwin, dying at the age of 19 days.) Sally was a member of the Baptist Church.
Sally died on September 15, 1863, in Huntsburg, Ohio. Her headstone in Huntsburg Cemetery reads "Sept. 16, 1867 aged 68."
Sally was the mother of 13 children.
