JOHN HUGHES

     John Hughes was born in Fayette County, Pa., March 13, 1785, where
he lived with his father and followed the occupation of a farmer. He
married Jane Fleniken, of Greene County, Pa., from which marriage resulted 
the following children:
Minerva, James F., William, John, Cephas, Robert, Cyrus, Alford, Jane and Helen. 
His wife died July 23, 1835, and he was married again in June, 1836 to 
Jane Boyd, of Greene County, Pa. The following were the children of his second 
marriage: Samuel B., Mary Ann, Sarah A., Nancy, Lucretta, Josephus and Ellen.
     Mr. Hughes was among the first settlers. He came to Wayne County in the
fall of 1816, and entered two quarters of land, the same now owned by
his son Alford Hughes, in Franklin Township. He also bought a quarter 
second-handed, the one now owned by his heirs, and now occupied by his 
son Samuel. In the year did some clearing and built his cabin, 18x25 feet, 
then returned to Jefferson County, Pa., and in April of 1817   he brought 
his family to Franklin Township, where he continued to reside until his 
death, April 18, 1861. Mr. Hughes was in many respects a more than ordinarily
valuable citizen, and was possessed of considerable enterprise. He was 
one of the early settlers of Franklin Township, serving as Justice of 
the Peace for many years.
