Hello Listmates: I'm looking for a family of HUGHES in the JP around 1840. I believe they lived in the area of McCracken County that became Ballard County in 1842, and that they came to Ky from Illinois before 1836. Both HUGHES parents apparently were dead by the 1850 census. Surviving children were Joseph born IL ca 1826, Catherine born IL ca 1829 m. Charlie WALDON ca 1849, Sarah born Ky ca 1836, and Pricilla born Ky ca 1838. Also, if anyone has access to the 1840 McCracken Co census and can check to see if there is a enumeration for HUGHES with at least 1 son and 3 daughters, I would appreciate it. Paul Reddick N.
