Hello: I have a small family begining in Habersham County, Georgia: my grandmother first married a VAN HUGHES she was RACHEL BURTON HUGHES VINSON, They divorced because VAN HUGHES was an alcholic, they had one son ZEB LOY HUGHES who was born in 1892; he was my mother's half brother. He married OLA SULLENS, ch: YONAH, FLORENCE, NAOMI RACHEL (NELMER), BESSIE MAE, ZEB LOY ...(my mother placed a gravemarker of ZEB LOY HUGHES on his grave before she died listing his children that had died and buried beside him (she did not know their birth dates they were YONAH, and FLORENCE)...don't know much about this family as my grandmother remarried and was a VINSON, and that is the line my mother came from....tHE cemetery that most of the Demorest were buried in (Habersham County) residents was the Old Demorest Cemetery . It is north of Demorest, my grandmother and grandfather is buried there where LOY HUGHES is buried; my grandmother owned the lots. There may be more HUGHES buried there or in the county...I cannot give you more but suspect yours, are kin to my grandmother's first husband.
