General Notes: Husband - James Hughes, Jr.
Another source gives his date of birth as March 23.
His wife taught school, and it was from her that he received his education. Finally they were married, living one year in Scrubgrass Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, where he also joined the Methodist Episcopal church. In the spring of 1825, they removed to Waterford, Erie County, her former home, remaining one year. In the spring of 1826, he removed to Rockland Township, Venango County, to run a grist mill for his father, and built a saw mill. He was appointed steward and class leader of the Methodist society, and held that relation to the church for seven years. From thence they moved to East Sandy, in Cranberry Township, Venango County, in the spring of 1833, and built a saw mill and grist mill. In the spring of 1837, he moved to a farm for which he had exchanged his mill property. This farm was three and a half miles east of Franklin. He lived at this place until the fall of 1862, when he left the farm and moved to the East side of the Allegheny river, at Franklin, having buried his wife and all his family of fourteen, but two sons and one daughter. There he kept store for three years, and closed out, moving into Franklin, where he resided until his death. [HVC 1879, 486]
He grew up in primitive surroundings, and acquired a sturdy independence of character which won him the unqualified esteem of all who knew him. In the spring of 1826 he re-moved to Waterford, Erie County, Pennsylvania, and after a year there located in Rockland Township, Venango County, where he built a sawmill and gristmill, giving most of his time to operating same. Thence he removed to East Sandy, in Cranberry Township, where he also built mills and carried them on until the spring of 1837, when he exchanged these pro-perties for a farm three and a half miles east of Franklin. He made his home there until 1862, and for the next three years lived on the east side of the Allegheny River at Frank-lin, thereafter living in the town until his death. An honored citizen, and strong in the confidence of his associates, he was elected justice of the peace a number of times, serving twenty-seven years in that office. [HVC 1919, 466]
General Notes: Wife - Mary Mallory
Her father was a was a man of extreme prejudices. His bitter opposition was aroused when his daughter espoused the teachings of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He demanded that she leave the denomination under pain of disinheritance. She was of as strong will as he, and would not yield. Her clothing was handed to her, and, after offering prayer for the family, she went to the home of James Ford, in Crawford County, PA, where she lived for a year, earning her livelihood by teaching school. The following year, with Mr. Ford's family and Rev. Seely Parker, she attended the Wolf Creek camp meeting. There James Hughes, Sr., having heard her story, offered her a home in his family, which she accepted. She resumed the teaching of school, and also became the teacher of young James Hughes at his home. Not long afterward they were married, the young man joining his wife's church, and soon was appointed steward and class leader, a relationship he held for seven years.
