    1. [ALHENRY] My William Hughes Line: NC-GA-AL-TX
    2. I would like to hear from anyone else who might be descended from this family. HUGHES - Still searching for parents or siblings of William Hughes. One document in his Henry Co, AL estate settlement gives his middle initial as A. William Hughes, b. abt. 1815 m. Priscilla Ann Davis abt. 1833, prob. Lee Co., GA, (later Randolph). He stated at least once on a census that he was b. in NC. He first appears in Randolph County as early as 1834 in a land sale. Priscilla Ann David Hughes was daughter of Nathan Davis and Mary Campbell Carr. William and Priscilla moved to Henry Co., AL after August of 1859, but before the 1860 census. Their children are: Andrew J. Hughes (possibly Jackson) My mother remembers her father referring to “old uncle Ander” Sarah A. E. Hughes m. her first cousin Lewis J. Rivers (She was lost after 1860) Richard H. Hughes - may have been killed in the Civil War James K. P. Hughes - may have also been killed in the Civil War George M. Dallas Hughes - m. Rebecca Guy, moved to Robertson Co., TX and died there in Nov. of 1890. His family remained in Texas. Mary A. Hughes m. Evan Butler William Nathan Hughes m. Nancy Melissa Sellers (these are my ggrandparents) Harriet Hughes m. Allen Byrd Carter Wyatt C. Hughes m. Hattie Baxter, they also moved to Robertson Co., TX. He died there in Feb. of 1889 His family returned to Florida. Harriet Hughes, daughter of William A. Hughes and Priscilla Davis m. Allen Bird Carter on 09 February 1871 in Henry County. He was son of Samuel Carter. I have their 1880 census report. Is anyone out there descended from this family? My ancestor, William Nathan Hughes was brother to Harriet, and I would very much like to add information about her to my records. Thanks for any help you can give - even little details can flesh out our ancestors. Linda D in TX (grew up in Cottonwood, AL)
