Hi Dan, Well lets see if this sounds right :) Remember, this is Annie Laurie Spencer's translation, and I'm just typing what she put in her book :) William J. Hughs, 43, to Miss Levina Dukes, 24, both of Union County, on March 15, 1868 by John P. Everett, MP (Series C, page 55) Now I don't know whether Annie misunderstood Deets for Dukes, but that is a heck of a co-ink-a-dink :) Here are the other Hughs: Green D. Hughes, of lawful age, to Ruthy I. Frisby, 15, by consent of her guardian, on August 24, 1848 by Joseph D. Greenhaw, JP (Series A, Page 59) Hmmmm another Mixed Nuts .. err .. Roots surname, gotta look up those Frisby's :) Berryman Hughs to Drucilla Bantry on March 8, 1849 by Dennis Mires, JP (Series B, Page 2) (Filed January 28, 1850) Brides (Hughs): Elizabeth, Epsey C., Louticia, Martha, Martha S., Sarah There are no Grooms or Brides with the surname Deets. Hope this helps! Lori Our Mixed Nuts .. err ..
