Francis Hughes¹

Parents

Father

Thomas Hughes (b. before 1730)

Pedigree Link

BASIC FACTS

Francis Hughes was born in 1758 in Shenandoah Co., Virginia.¹ He and Mary Mildeus were married on 1 January 1781.¹ He died in 1842, at age ~84.¹

Francis Hughes had reference number 21386. Listed as being at the Revolutionary War Battle of King's Mountain, South Carolina are "David, Robert, Thomas and Francis Hughes brothers."

The following information was taken from "Lieutenant Joshua Hewes, A New England Pioneer and Some of His Descendants", edited and chiefly compiled by Eben Putnam, privately printed 1913.
"Francis Hughes was of Green County, Tenn, 21 July 1833, then aged 74 years, when he applied for pension, alleging that he resided in Burke County, NC, in June, 1776, when he enlisted as a ranger in North Carolina, under Capt. Penland, in the command of Gen. McDowell, and served two months and a half against the Cherokee and Creek Indians. On his return from this tour of service, he met the troops under Gen. Rutherford. The expedition proceeded to the "Nation." In the overhill towns the Indians embodied, and an engagement ensued in which the Indians were defeated with a loss of 18 killed. This tour of service lasted from August, 1776, to December, 1776, four months. In Jan., 1777, he volunteered under Col. John Sevier to retake the western settlements on the Watoga. Seviers' force was employed in building a fort for defence at "Gallaker's" on "Nola Sheeky" river, in the present State of Tennessee. Hughes was stationed there for twelve months. Under the Act of North Carolina calling for new levies, he volunteered in Sept., 1780, for an expedition, under Col. Sevier, against Ferguson. He was in Capt. Samuel Williams' company and marched with Campbell's Virginia troops across the "Yelow Mountains" into North Carolina, and there met the militia under General McDowell, and in October was present at the battle of King's Mountain. After the battle he helped guard the prisoners on the march to the "Barrix" for exchange, serving three months. In the winter of 1780 he again volunteered and was led by Col. Sevier against the Cherokee Indians and marched to the borders of their country, but the Indians had retired. He was one month in this service. His total service was 21 months and 14 days.
He was born in Shenandoah County, Va., in 1759, and had lived in Washington County, afterward in Green County. He was living in 1839. (Invalid pension, 3,075.)"

Based on the above information, Louminda Torbett assumed that
Francis Hughes was the brother of David Hughes.

Tennessee Pension Roll of 1835:
"Francis Hughes, Green County, Private, North Carolina Line, $51.66 annual allowance, $154.98 amount received, December 13, 1833 pension started age 75."

BASIC FACTS

Peter Hughes was born in 1762.¹ He and Lucy Blevins were married on 8 May 1787.¹ He died on 22 May 1849, at age ~87, in Washington Co., Virginia.¹

Peter Hughes had reference number 21390. "Peter Hughs of Sullivan County, Tenn., applied for pension 22 August, 1832, then aged 70 years. At a very early age he came to the Holston country from the frontier of North Carolina (now Tennessee), on Beaver Creek, and after remaining there some time, he was ordered out, before the outbreak of the Revolution, on a tour of two months against the Cherokee Indians, and under Capt. Robert Craig marched into what is now Russell County, Va., where he served his term as a ranger. In the fall of 1777 he volunteered again, and 20 August, 1778, he marched under Capt. Taylor against the Shawnees and Delawares in Ohio. At Fort McIntosh they joined Col. McIntosh and under his command proceeded to perform fatigue duty at the fort. At the end of this eight months' term of enlistment, he returned with Capt. Taylor to Holston country and was discharged. In September, 1780, he again volunteered under Capt. Craig, and marched with
Col. Campbell's command against Ferguson, who was understood to be contemplating crossing the mountains and taking possession of the lead mines of Virginia in Wythe county. The company joined McDowell's command at Gap Creek in what is now Chester County, Tenn. The commands of Col. Campbell, Shelby, McDowell, Sevier, and Cleveland joined before arriving
at King's Mountain, where they met Ferguson, and on the top of the mountain the British were surrounded. In the engagement which ensued Ferguson was killed and his army of 800 taken prisoners. Hughes was one of the guard which accompanied the prisoners to near Salisbury, where the North Carolina militia received them and Craig's company was dismissed after a three months' tour of duty. ...
Lucy Hughes, widow of Peter, applied for pension, 1850. She was a resident of Washington County, Va., aged 88 years. She was married 8 May, 1787. Peter Hughes died 22 May, 1849."

"David Huges...is the eldest son of Peter and Lucy Huges, and that Lucy was formerly Lucy Blevins, and ... had children, David, George, Nancy Starling and William, all born prior to 1800. The family lived in Sullivan County, Tenn., until a late date when they removed to Washington County, Va., where Peter deceased."

The above information was taken from "Lieutenant Joshua Hewes, A New England Pioneer and Some of His Descendants", edited and chiefly compiled by Eben Putnam, privately printed 1913.

Based on the above information, Louminda Torbett assumed that Peter Hughes was the brother of David Hughes.

"History of Southwest Virginia 1746-1786 and Washington County 1777-1870," by Lewis Preston Summers, pages 855-865, Roster of Washington County Revolutionary Soldiers, 1776-1783 lists Peter Hughes.
