John Hughes and Elizabeth Proffitt
I just saw your post about this family on the Hughes and Nelson forums. My records show that Elizabeth Proffitt who married John Hughes was the daughter of Obadiah Proffitt and Ann Theany Ryan of Nelson County.Obadiah was the child of my ancestor John Proffitt and his first wife, Margaret Welch. John Proffitt was the son of David Proffitt and Elizabeth Smith who moved to Albermarle/Amherst/Nelson in the 1760's. David's father was Sylvester Proffitt of Goochland County, the original immigrant, and his wife Alice ?
The line goes:
Sylvester Proffitt (about 1695 Scotland d. 1766) and Alice ? (d. about 1771)
David Proffitt ( about 1730-1803) and (m Goochland 1757)Elizabeth Smith (d. before 1803)
John Proffitt (1760 Goochland-1830)and (m 1785 Amherst)Margaret Welch (d. before 1788)
Obadiah W. Proffitt (1785-1876) and (m 1816 Nelson ) Ann Theany Ryan
Elizabeth Ann Proffitt (1826-1895) and (m. 1844 Nelson) John Hughes
Hope this is of help.
