Listers: nice to see msgs again. I am searching for connections to Abner Hughes b 1773 NC (spouse Rebecca Woodward), resided in SullCo and died there 1839. I have located John Hughes b 1780 (spouse Sebethe Hardester) as a possible brother to Abner Hughes. They were close in age, married about the same time in the same place. John Hughes received a grant and moved to Pulaski Co KY in 1825. This is the difficult part. My Hiram Hughes b 1794 (spouse Rachel Massey) somehow is tied in with both. Hiram Hughes was surety for Susannah Hughes, daughter of John Hughes. He named his first son Jeremiah after his father. The second son was named Abner Hughes. Abner Hughes daughter, (Sarah Annis), moved into Pulaski Co KY where my Hiram Hughes and John Hughes raised their families. Is anyone in SullCo researching Hugheses?? This has been a three year search. Hoping. Doris Belt/OK [email protected] HUGHES/MASSEY/RICHARDSON/TANNER/BROWN
