The Hughes family that settled in Marshall county, came from Laurens, SC along with the Garretts and possibly the Culvers. The Timmons family is the one I have never posted, because I am not sure if they came from SC to AL. There seems to be a connection there according to a letter that a list member shared with me. I know that George Washington Hughes married Jemima Timmons and lived in Newberry, SC. in the late 1700's. My question: How was this George Hughes related, if at all, to George Hughes who had a son named William H. Hughes? William settled in Marshall county. Thanks, Jan
