Biography

William Hughbanks was born in Scott County, Indiana, in 1828. While quite young his parents removed to Cole County, Illinois, and his father subsequently went to Mineral Point, Wisconsin, while the country was yet new, living there until about 1863, when he moved to Cassville, where he died in 1873. About this time, the subject of this sketch, with his family, settled in the town of Marietta, Crawford, Wisconsin. After selling the purchase he then made, he came to the town of Scott, Wisconsin, and purchased forty acres on section 32, where he now resides, and eighty acres on section 31.^[1]

William then in 1874 he married his present wife, Mary Ann (Chamberlain) Wayne. They are the parents of three children--Etta May, Warren, and John.^[1]
