Hi, i might confuse this issue a little more. You list a Barnum in your last message. William Hiram Hughes was my ggf but Edie Ann was not my ggm. She was the second wife of WH. My ggm was Mary Branum/Brannum/Brandon. (FYI The family reports Edie to have been "hell on wheels" and the reason my gf and his bro. Hutto left AL and came to Texas) This last name appears to be spelled a number of diferrent way. She was born in either 1835 or 1855. The tomb stone says 1835 and the censis report in 1880 shows her as 25. I suspect the 1855 date is more likely to be correct. the 1835 birth would make her 16 years older that WH and over 40 when they got married and had several children. I know very little about her. Her tomb stone list her name as MJM wife of W H Hughes. Nov 17 1835 - July 1888. There is also a note on my information from the Moon cemetery that Mary J N C Brandon married William H Hughes on Dec 23, 1874 On the marriage license it list her as Mary J N CorG Brandon. Their marriage bond was signed by John P Moon, On William Alonzo Hughes, WH and Mary's first child, Mary's last name was reported as Brannon. I don't know, Who is on first? The family bible of WH reports John Glover's death as June 20, 1923 and Jane Glover's death as Jan 22, 1929. I just shotgunned some of this info to see what res;ponse it might generate. Bill Hughes
