Re: Hughs/Hughes in 1850

In Reply to: Hughs/Hughes in 1850 by Paula of 1161

Hi Paula,
The Hughes line ties in with my line of Arnold and Vincent.
Do any of these sound familiar??

Descendants of Joseph Hughs Hughes


Generation No. 1

1. JOSEPH HUGHS1 HUGHES was born Abt. 1790 in SC. He married (1) UNKNOWN Abt. 1815. He married (2) ELIZABETH KNOX 31 Aug 1845 in McMinn Co., TN.

Notes for JOSEPH HUGHS HUGHES:
In McMinn Co. Marriage Records;
Mary Hughs to Robert Langford July 26, 1843
Lucy Hughs to William Langford Dec. 17, 1850

Don't know if these ladies belong to our Hughs family or not. Just copying the records for later reference if needed. 8/10/04 M.S.M.

In 1840 McMinn Co., TN Census;
Jos Hughs 0122001 - 0100201
1 male age 5-10
2 males 10-15
2 males 15-20
1 male 40-50
1 female age 5-10
2 females 20-30
1 female 40-50

There is an older Samuel Hughs in 1840;

1 male age 5-10
1 male 50-60
1 female 5-10
3 females 10-15
1 female 40-50

2.       i.       CORNELIA ELIZABETH2 HUGHES, b. Abt. 1816.
       ii.       MILLY HUGHES, b. Abt. 1820; m. JOSEPH M. MITCHELL, 14 May 1854, Rhea Co., TN; b. Abt. 1802.

Generation No. 2

2. CORNELIA ELIZABETH2 HUGHES (JOSEPH HUGHS1) was born Abt. 1816. She married UNKNOWN.

Notes for CORNELIA ELIZABETH HUGHES:
It is not certain if Cornelia Hughes is an unwed daughter or a daughter-in-law.

In 1870 McMinn Co., TN Census;
She is listed with three of her children and no mention of a husband or that she is a widow. So I am assuming she never married.

       i.       NEWTON ELDRIDGE3 HUGHES, b. 1840.

Notes for EASTER ELIZABETH HUGHES:
It is believed by this researcher that Elizabeth Hughes married a Rogers. I remember an aunt Liz Rogers. It was told by the older generations that she helped to care for my grandmother Mary Jane Arnold .( Both of Mary Jane's parents died when she was very young.)

4. JAMES2 HUGHES (JOSEPH HUGHS1) was born 26 Mar 1823. He married (1) REBECCA TENNEY 07 Jun 1849 in McMinn Co., TN. She was born 1816. He married (2) SARAH JANE MITCHELL 24 Apr 1854 in Rhea Co., TN. She was born Abt. 1833.

Notes for JAMES HUGHES:
James Hughes may have married before Sarah Jane. The first two children seem to be older than the marriage. So they may belong to another wife.
I found a marriage for James Hughes to Rebecca Tenney on 7 June, 1849 in the McMinn Co. TN records.
This James Hughes age 27 and Rebecca age 34 are listed in the 1850 TN Census in McMinn Co. with children, Absolem age 12, Joseph age 9 and Catherine 1. James was born in SC. I believe that Rebecca was married before and the only child belonging to James and Rebecca is Catherine age 1, because they just married in 1849. I think this is Permelia C.

Notes for REBECCA TENNEY:
Found Rebecca age 34 listed in the 1850 Census with recent husband James Hughs. She has two children believed to be from a previous marriage; Absolem 12, and Joseph 9.
I believe this James Hughs belongs to Joseph Hughs family because place of birth is same.
