Talladega Hughes

Members of Edward Hughes and Elizabeth Grigsby were in Talladega, AL. I have recently corresponded with a descendant of theirs. Their son, Nathaniel Hughes' descendants lived in north AL. Nathaniel Hughes, son of Edward, married a Rebecca ??. They had a daughter named Rhoda Hughes. We already knew that much. She married Starrett Dobbins in Gilford, Caswell County, NC. Rhoda and Starrett named a son Nathaniel Hughes Dobbins and had another son named James B. Dobbins. He married Elizabeth Hughs.

The most recent information on Rhoda and Starrett:

Death: 31 Jan 1877 - Blue Eye Spring, Talladega, Alabama, USA
Marriage: 28 Sep 1824 - Saint Clair, Alabama, USA

On the brother, James and his wife, Elizabeth, I found:
Death: 9 Jan 1846 - Cherokee, Alabama, USA Marriage: 12 Dec 1829 - Spring Garden, Cherokee, Alabama,

I am currently applying to the DAR under my ancestor Nathaniel Hughes, through his daughter Rhoda Hughes Dobbins. Do you have a reference for their marriage location being Gilford, Caswell Co. NC?
Also, I believe you mistyped. It should read, "The most recent information on Nathaniel Hughes Dobbins" as the death and marriage dates listed are for him and his wife Harriet Smith Burns.
