General Notes: Husband - John Hughes

---

He spent his early life on the farm in Amwell township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, attending during the winter months the elementary schools of his district, after which he entered Washington College, from which he graduated in 1843, taking a classical course. He then returned to the farm and renewed his life vocation. He taught school for some time. In 1855 he removed from Amwell township, having bought the Nichol farm in Franklin township, which in 1886 he disposed of, and then moved into the borough of Washington.
His family were members of the Christian Church, in which for forty years he was an elder. Politically he was first a Republican, but later voted the straight Prohibition ticket.
