I have no idea what is correct on Jonathan Hughes but I have seen Alfred Hughes' work. The same person who sent that to me, Everett Cherrington Hughes, also sent me an article, "Hughes Family Pioneers Blazed Forest Trails, Fought Indians, French, British" by Wilbur C. Morrison. No date, no source. In it he states that Jonathan Hughes, son of Thomas Hughes, Sr., was born in 1753 in Hardy County, WV, then part of Hampshire Co., VA and his wife was Sarah Abigail Jackson. He was an Indian spy with John Ewing and also served in the Revol. War. He came to Gallia Co. later. Jonathan had a brother Jesse Hughes. Jackson had a son Anderson Hughes who lived and married in Gallia Co. There is no mention of a Hugh Hughes but as this is absolutely not my research I can not even guess as to who is correct.

Judy, First Judy, thanks for including Sarah Abigail's surname Jackson. I accidently left her surname out. The book I have gives the following on William born VA 1680-1697 died 1767 Hampshire Co., VA Will dated Dec 30, 1762 -- probated 9 Jun 1767 Part of his will, a history of Wm including possible parents but not documented are in the book. Wife's name is not proven only a possible, Sudna, with a note this "name is repeated frequently in his descendants." Sudna is one of the names my Wm Cottrell and Rachel Hughes used as well. They [Wm Hughes and unknown wife] had 9 children. Two of which you listed -- Hugh, Thomas [my line], William, Evan, Mary, Sudna, Sarah, and Ellis. It includes dates and spouses for some. Then it goes into history of each of William's children with about a page and half on Hugh and a little on Jonathan and his family. Less depth on the children of Jonathan other than names, birth dates, and wives names. The book lists one wife for Jackson. I am not saying he only married once, only that the book lists one wife. According to the book Jackson and Lavinia had Margaret, Thomas, Peter, Calvin, Milton, Polly, Silas, Levi and William. Wm. date of birth was abt 1841, the youngest and Margaret the oldest was born 1824 in Harrison Co. VA/WV. I think I mentioned that I had not gone thru the whole book. I looked at it more closely this morning and see that it goes into way more detail on the children of Thomas, then it seems to follow all the children of Jesse and his descendants in detail. Only guessing but I bet the author is a descendant of Jesse and his wife Grace Tanner. There is no date of death for either Jackson or Lavinia listed. The documentation for Jackson's children and those of his siblings is: Hacker's Creek Journal 3:36, 66-68, Ancestral File, Fam. Hist. Lib. Salt Lake City, Utah submitted by Suzanne Morgan Siders of Apple Valley CA. There is an address if you would like that let me know. Dates for Jackson in this book are b. 1790/1800 d 1874 No date of death listed for Levi There was another Jonathan listed. He was a son of Elias, son of Thomas. This Jonathan, son of Elias, was bn 14 Jan 1796 in Harrison Co. OH md Lovina Davis. I have not researched the Wm/Hugh/Jonathan line -- only my direct line Wm/Thomas/Jesse/Rachel. I can't say the information in this book is correct, I can only list what the book has. The book was published in 1999. You might be able to get a copy of it or the one on the Hughes of Gallia Co. thru inter-library loan. I purchased the one I have from AbeBooks.com. I just checked and they don't have another copy of the book I have or the one that was mentioned earlier on the Hughes of Gallia Co., OH. Hope this will help as leds to locations where to look for additional information. Connie
