General Notes: Husband - William Hughes


By trade, he was a stone mason. In 1832, with his family, he set sail from Bristol, England, and after a long and tedious voyage of seven weeks landed at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, where he remained one week and then proceeded to Philadelphia, but soon afterward went to Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. In 1833, however, he took up his residence in Decatur township, Clearfield County, where he purchased one hundred acres of timber land, which he at once began to clear and cultivate. In connection with his farming operations he also worked at his trade, and became a prosperous and well-to-do citizen of the township. In politics he was a Democrat, and faithfully served in various township offices.
Of his five children, four grew to years of maturity.
