Could your William Hughes be related to William Hughes from Rutherford, NC?http://oursouthernancestors.com/hughes-001.htmlhttp://oursouthernancestors.com/hughes-001.htmlMy own Hughes family is connected to this family in some way. I am still trying to sort it out. It seems that one of William's grandsons, Richard Blanton Hughes, moved to Marshall Co., AL next to my William H. Hughes. He must have bought property from William. My William H. Hughes came from Laurens, SC and was the son of George Hughes and Rhoda Garrett. Later all of his sons, along with Richard and some of his children moved to Morgan Co., AL. Before moving to AL, William H. lived in Gwinnett, GA near the families of the William Hughes in Rutherford, NC. My dad said his family came originally from VA and that is where William of Rutherford was born. Look in Laurens, SC for information on your family. There are MANY Hughes in Laurens in 1790 - 1820. There are at least two Williams. I am writing this without pulling out my files. If you will write to me at [email protected], I will send you all that I have.Jan Hughes
