This area of what we know as Campbell County was first settled in 1730 ( By Whites) but deeds are in Goochland County, in 1740 they are in Amelia County and Prince George, then again in Brunswick County and then to Halifax and Lunenburg County. Then to what I outlined for you. That is why it is so important to know who your neighbors are in 1820 tell 1865 as this is YOUR FAMILY CLAN. These families were CLAN orintated tell after the War between the States. They moved as a Family Clan from Place to Place. The neighbors in this time era is a cousin from one to three generations off your main lines. The neighbor is most likely a Brother or Sister to your Grandmother or Grandfather. Has any one in your Research of the Hughes family ever done a DNA Test, wow this opens up so much more information on where you lines were at and WHO they were intermarried too. Tony L. Johnson descended from Hudson Johnson-Johnston of Buffalo Creek Henry Co. Va 1776-1780, then on to What was then Washington County NC in 1782, which was part of the State of Franklin < then once Tennessee declared Statehood, it became Greene County Tn, then in a few years becomes Sullivan Co. Tn then in days it become Hawkins County Tn. where y Hudson Johnston's lands can be located today. In 1800 he moved to what was then Williamson County Tn. In 1803 he buys lands on Barton's Creek of what was then Stewart County Tn by the time he arrives the County is know Dickson County Tn, where this land is found Today. Hudson Johnson's DNA Family is on Tuckahoe Creek drainage in Henrico Co Va. in 1690 as are 7 of the other Lines that I descend from. Now several other things that researchers Miss is the DATE when a person filed a Deed. Go back and check the Date of the Deeds filled by your Hughes Family in Tn. WHO ELSE Filed Deeds on that Day, as this is who your Family traveled with to get to where they where. Now another Thing is FAMILY FOLLOWED FAMILY to the new Lands, who was the first Folks on the lands- Creeks that your Hughes family were on in Tn. They heard about this NEW LANDS from the Family that went there first. The First CHURCH on the Creek is also a precious Clue as these families also are widely associated with the First Minister that brought the folks to these regions, where did this minister come from.

But ALAS here is the stickler Buffalo Creek Deeds are Fist in Halifax County Va 1775 then in 1776 they are in Lunenburg County Va. then by 1778 some are in Bedford County, Then in 1780 they are in Henry County, by 1790 the deeds fall into Henry and Campbell County Va. By 1820 the deeds for Buffalo Creek are in Campbell County. So the County lines changed numerous times on the lands that were and are on Buffalo Creek. So if you are Looking for information on he Hughes Families of Campbell County you are going to have to research in each one of these Counties. My Interest is in one William Johnson who in 1780 Henry County one Hudson Johnson lived with him. Per 1782 and 1785 Tithes ( tax Lists) William Johnson's neighbor was Blackmore Huhes of Buffaloe Creek and one Rowland Chiles. My DNA is a match to those researching the lines of Michael Johnson who died in 1718 Henrico Co. Va. There is a Hughes Family in the descendants of Michael Johnson. I descend from Hudson Johnson who lived with William Johnson when he lived with him in 1780. Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: P.

I have not had time to sit and read the stuff you sent but I will this week. I was just wondering if you had any info on John D Hughes born in Campbell County? I have looked for him the past 10 years and I can't find a thing about him. Other then his children and two wives. I know he was in VA, TN, IN, and then MO. He died in Wheeling, Missouri. I just wish I could find his parents or brothers/sisters. My cousin has been doing genealogy for over 45 years and he can't find anything on him. He seems to think that the D stood fro Dillard.
