John Hughes
John and Mary Hughes in Chatham County 1820, 30 census, mover to Sumter County GA by 1850. Listed ages as 63 and 62. I think this John moved to Savannah and worked at a bakery. Supposition is this John burn SC 1787.John married Mary Ann Gilbert, daughter of William Gilbert, wealthy planter of Wilmington Island GA. My Aunt found court documents and private letters corroborating the 1808 marriage and John Denis Benjamin Hughes born 1828 who married Delia Ann Hughes 1843 in Bulloch. My grandfather Bridger John Hughes 1853-1924.By the way, my Aunt Velma told me she uncovered court documents 1835 where John and Mary tried to get estate of her deceased parents, William Gilbert and Mary Ann Reddick Gilbert.
