Hughes Name Study

New to using Wiki Tree for past year. Reading through the concept here of focus groups dedicated to researching a specific surname seems to be a great idea, but without much activity. Thought I would jump in with a completely different set of Hughes surnames and see what pops up.

I have two Hughes (a few Hughs spellings as well) surnames (30028) I am researching on my paternal side. My grandfather is Liga David Hughes and my grandmother Jessie Mae Hughes, Yes, my grandmother's maiden name is Hughes. Autosomal DNA testing limitations on GEDMatch reflect no relationship between my grandparents using my father's DNA and the "Are Your Parents Related?" in the GEDMatch tools.

My two Hughes lines have multiple generations beginning about 1840's in SE Alabama and W Florida in and around Holmes, Geneva, Coffee, Dale counties. I find ancestors of Liga David Hughes originating in South Carolina about 1785 and gradually migrating through Georgia to settle in SE Alabama and Holmes County Florida.

The ancestorial trail of my grandmother is much more clouded. I find great grandparents in Coffee County, AL and 2nd great grandparents possibly from South Carolina based on 1850 census in Alabama. With a very small amount of native American traits in my father's DNA, some family have always thought there was Cherokee or other native American traits in her line somewhere.

Would like to find someone with common connections to share.

I believe that I am a descendant of Colonel Daniel Hughes, whom with his brother Samuel Hughes, were Ironmasters in Washington County Maryland casting cannons for the Continental Army. Col. Daniel Hughes was also responsible for the keeping of British POW's at Fort Frederick (MD). My great grandmother was Iola Elizabeth Hughes, daughter of William Daniel Hughes who brought the commercial peach industry to Washington County MD. I am looking to find who William Daniel's father was in order to make the connection to Col. Daniel Hughes. Most genealogy research has Barnabas Hughes as the Father of Daniel and Samuel.

Hello All,

I am currently researching my father-in-law's Hughes heritage. Specifically, I am trying to find substantive evidence that Jesse Hughes (Hughes-13841) is indeed the son of George Hughes (Hughes-1156) and Rhoda Garrett (Garrett-879).

To that end, I am also trying to hunt down a copy of "In Memory" by Alice Emily Hughes Barnwell Deavenport (born October 15, 1867; no Wikitree ID). My primary reference for this book's existence is a now-defunct webpage: https://web.archive.org/web/20180715011600/http://hughestree.org/blog/

Any information you can provide on where I could find a copy of this book or more about the author would be greatly appreciated. Any other evidence linking Jesse to George would be extremely appreciated.

Best regards, Patrick W. Phillips, Ph.D.

I have Hughes' (sometimes spelled Hughs) in my tree, though not added here yet because I'm working on veryifying all my information. I would love to help on this project though, and I'm online looking for more information almost every day. How can I help?

Hey all, I've started adding my Hughes relatives (among others) to the tree. Admittedly already hitting a bit of a dead end after Abraham Hughes (Hughes-29987). I hope what I've added is helpful though, and hopefully there will be more in the future.

I am interested in Hughes from Trelawnyd / Newmarket, Flintshire

Tracing Hughs (Hughes) ancestry from Wales to North America circa mid-1700's. Would like to join this group.

Thanks

My grandmother Lillian Hughes married my grandfather James Richardson In Charters Towers, Queensland. She was born in Millom, Cumberland in 1871. She was the daughter of William Hughes and Martineau Burrell He was born in 1842 in Ulverston, Lancashire the son of William Hughes and Hannah Singleton William born in 1815 in Dalton-in-Furness to John Hughes and Ether Singleton. John born 1892 in Lindale-in-Cartmel to John and Rebecca Atkinson and he was born in Colton, in 1753 to John Hughes and Jane Rawlinson.

Love to hear from any who can confirm my records and particularly those that may be cousins even to extended lengths. I have extended links to various uncles and cousins as a result of research but none that are living. Robert Richardson, Western Australia [email address removed]

My mother's second husband legally adopted me (and two brothers), so my legal maiden name was Hughes. I do have several generations of ancestors for Ray Hughes (Hughes-24503). Is there more than just adding the template to the profiles? I'm hesitant to obligate myself to the project, but Ray and all his ancestors are open profiles. --Julia

Nicholas M. Hughes

Looking for information on Ethel Hughes (1911-1974) from Kentucky. Her only child, a son, was Ernest R. Hughes. I have been told that her father's name was Spencer Hughes

I'm not really sure what-all a one-name study is about, but I have Hughes from England in my lineage.

My however-many greats grandfather was Butler to Sir John Hill, 3rd Baronet of Hawkstone (Shropshire, England). (He was witness to Sir John's 1816 Will.)

The origin of Simon's daughter's name is a matter of curiosity to some of her descendants (I'm one of those who is curious), as we don't know if it comes from the Hughes line, or her mother's line of Marshall. (Tempest Margaret Hughes died as Paul.)

i would like to join the HUGHES PROJECT please. thanks

Hughes connections on both my paternal and maternal side principally in western North Carolina

Hi! I added text to the companion category for your name study (Category:Hughes Name Study). Feel free to edit it. The default for the template is to add the main category, but you can add a line to have a different category. See the ONS template page for details. Give me a holler if you have any questions about categorization.

I also created a redirect, so Project:Hughes (the link for the button from the Hughes surname page) brings you to this page.

Cheers, Liz
