Notes
General:
HUGHES, WILLIAMWilliam Hughes was born in Barnwell County, South Carolina September 5, 1812, a son of Jacob Hughes (see Vol. 1). He was the only child of his father by his first wife, Margaret Rentz. He came to Georgia with his father and family when he was about grown, and was married June 18, 1842, to Miss Nancy Hutto. She was a native of the same county, Barnwell, and was born there in 1816, being one of the two children of Isaac Hutto and his wife Sarah Delk. ^She died when she was ten years old^, and her mother later married William Touchston and they moved to Lowndes County, about the same time that the Hughes family moved. Mrs. Nancy Hutto Hughes died April 16, 1873. To her and William Hughes were born:

The aforesaid Phoebe, Jane, Lucretia and Artemus Rice were children of John Guest Rice and his wife Ellen Sellars Rice. About 1877 the latter, who was a widow at the time, became the second wife of William Hughes, and they lived together until their deaths.
Mr. Hughes' first home after marriage was in Ware, now Clinch County, on Lot No. 519, 7th district. He lived here until about 1860 when he sold out and moved a few miles west to Lot 477, same district, which he bought and improved. He made his home there until September 1867, when he swapped lands with John L. Courson and moved to the Courson farm on Lot 297, 12th district, which was the Hughes home until his death.
On the afternoon of November 6, 1889, Mr. Hughes and his wife, both old and living alone, were attacked by three Negroes, murdered, and robbed. Their bodies were found a few hours later by members of the family when they called for an evening visit. The Negroes were apprehended. One of them was shot to death resisting arrest, the other two confessed and were tried and convicted in an orderly manner, and were hung.
Mr. and Mrs. Hughes were buried at the North Cemetery two miles north of Dupont. His first wife was buried at Prospect Church.
Mr. Hughes was received by letter December 8, 1838 into Union Primitive Baptist Church from Bethsaida Church in Barnwell District, South Carolina, as shown by the minutes of Union Church. He later became a charter member of Bethany Church in Ware, now Clinch County, in 1847, then a charter member of Prospect Church, January 22,1859, it being much nearer his home. On April 11, 1885, he was dismissed by letter from Prospect Church, and became a charter member of Olive Leaf Church which was much nearer his home at that time. His first wife was baptized August 8, 1863 into the membership of Prospect Church and died a member ten years later.
