1830 Gwinnett County Census: William HUGHES: males 1 (0-5) 1 (15-20) 1 (30-40) females 2 (5-10) 2 (10-15) 1 (15-20) 1 (30-40) No Slaves John HUGHES: males: 1 (0-5) 1 (5-10) 2 (10-15) 1 (15-20) 1 (30-40) females: 2 (0-5) 1 (5-10) No Slaves Not found in 1840 Gwinnett County, Georgia census. May 16,1838: Hamilton's Company in the removal of the Cherokees: Private Hardiman HUGHES is listed on page 145 in History of Gwinnett County Georgia, vol. 1. Cherokee Land Lottery: Same book listed above, page 153 lists John HUGHS, Sr. (no "e") in residing in Third District, drew Lot #653 in the Cherokee Land Draw in the 1830s.(Note: I just recently read where the land draw was not done in 1838 but in 1832; the land wasn't ready until 1838 as the Cherokees were removed by then. I believe this to be correct as the Indian Wars 1834-1838 and the Cherokee Removal of 1838 certainly would suggest this.) History of Gwinnett County Georgia 1818-1860 Volume 2, pages 445-497, lists descendants of Phillip HUGHES starting with William E. HUGHES, b. 1809 d.1856.
