Hutson (Hudson) B. Hughes was born in Franklin County, GA, May 18, 1829 as stated on his 1902 pension application. The 1904 pension application states he was born May, 1831 in Franklin County, GA. His wife was Amanda E. Unknown. They had the following children:

James Russell (Dub) Hughes
Harriett E. Hughes
Franklin H. Hughes
Edward Lee Hughes
George Hughes
Jessie Hughes

We suspect that the William Hughes living in Franklin County in 1830 (born in NC) was the father of Hutson Hughes. We think that possibly Franklin A. Hughes and Allen W. Hughes were also sons of William Hughes.
