Zachary Hughes must be in another County in Illinois in 1840, i posted over there. and maybe someone will see it.and if they email me, i will let you know. i have found more information on Edward Hughes now,and think he is correct father to my Soloman Hughes, there are three Soloman hughes there in Missouri now,also a McDowell Hughs in Adair Co Missouri with Soloman born 1846 hes born Ky.Some of the children of edward moved over there in that county.next door to him.Lucinda hughes , daughter of edward married William Tade and moved next door to McDowell hughs in 1870 . He must be her uncle and son of Edwards Frances
