Mary, I saw your post to Bill re: David Hughes. Makes me think perhaps I, too, should contact Bill! (Bill if you are reading this, "Hello!") I don't know if my Hughes connect to your friend's Hughes kin, but I know mine were in North Carolina. Not sure when they arrived; have info back to 1810 at least. They married in with the Scots and I am not certain of their country of origin. Might I also be able to contact your friend? Hope this is not too forward of me nor too much trouble! Thanks in advance. Cheers! Amy Hughes
