We must be related Bill. There is a possibility that my 3rd great grandmother was a Hughes. Her name was Elizabeth and she said on the 1850 Perry Co., KY census that she was 68, which would make her born in 1782, and that she was born in PA. She m. Thomas Young. The only marriage record I can come up with is Thomas Young to Elizabeth Hughes on May 18, 1795 in Lincoln Co., KY. Now back then, Lincoln Co. was huge and came back from central KY across the bottom of the state and touched VA. So it could be them. Except if their ages are right on the 1850 census, they would be 13 and 14 years old. Even back then, I don't think so. But I have a lot of confidence that the census could have the wrong ages on it! I keep hoping I'll run into a Hughes researcher who will have better info than I do and know if this is my couple or not. And so, I have gone into this long explanation so I could ask......Bill, do you know my Elizabeth? Was she truly a Hughes? <G> Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: RW Hughes <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 24, 2000 11:59 AM Subject: Re: [SCLANCAS] HUNTER Family > > And while worrying about your thinking I was a crack-pot, I sent the note > to > > the list instead of directly to you!
