He was the son of John Huger, a royal notary of the town of Loudon in France and was born at Tarinne April 1, 1651.

He died December 24, 1711 in his 61st year and was buried as this, his plantation, then called Wambaw. He had married in May 1677, Margaret Perdriau of Rochelle who died in 1717 and by whom he had 12 children, two only survived him; Margaret, who was born at Rochelle Feb 21, 1678, and Daniel Huger who was born in St. James Santee March 16, 1688.
