HUGHES The Gaelic word hugh sig- nifies affability. . a guest. a stranger: and in the year 900 Alfred the Great used the word to ex- press comfort. The surname Hughes orig- inated in Wales, and its bearers are de- scended from several ancient Welsh princes. Its original form was Hugh, and the vari- ous terminations and prefixes which have been added, such as Hughes. Huget, Hewit. Higgins, Hicks. Hiccock, Huggett. Hug- gins and Hutchins, all mean the son of Hugh. Hewse. Hewes and Huse appear to be merely inaccurate spelling of Hughes. In Wales the Hughes comprise a consider- able portion of the population, and they have become numerous in England, Ireland and America. Joseph Hlewe- was one of


the signers of the Declaration of Independ- ence. George Robert Twelve Hughes headed the famous Boston Tea Party in 1773, and many others of the name have won distinction in various fields of useful- ness. The family about to be mentioned came from Wales some fifty years ago, and not long after its arrival amply demon- strated its loyalty to the country of its adop- tion. as will be seen later on.


(I) Hugh Hughes and his wife Gwen were frugal and industrious farming peo- ple of Wales, exemplifying to a high de- gree the sterling characteristics of their race and worshipping with the Calvanistic Meth- odists.

He was accompanied from the old country by his wife and seven of his children. For a pe- riod of five years he carried on a farm for John Constable, and for the .succeeding twelve years he was in charge of the prop- erty known as the Rees farm. llis energy and industry, together with an unwavering devotion to the principles of righteousness and integrity, elicited the esteem and good will of his fellow-townsmen, and he never disregarded the precepts of the Calvinistic Methodist faith, in which he was reared. He married Jane Jones, a native of Wales, daughter of Robert and Jane Jones. Chil- dren, those born in Wales. are: I. Cather- ine. married (first ) Lewis O. Lewis: (sec- ond) Hugh D. Jones. 2.
