Looking for the origins of my HUGHES ancestors.
My 3rd Great Grandfather has his parents identified as:
James HUGHES and Bridget QUIGLEY/CRIGLEY
He was born in Ireland in 1837
According to the U.S. census he immigrated in 1850 showing up for his Catholic marriage in Lexington Missouri in 1860.
I'm trying to determine which county he came from.
There is also another HUGHES, probably a cousin that identified their parents as John HUGHES and Ann/Ellen BLEE/BLUET/BLACK. This other HUGHES was born in the 1830's also.
This family might be related to GAVINS and HURSONS of the time too.
Any help would be appreciated.
Please e-mail me directly as well as post..
