Several descendants of the George Hughes and Rhoda Garrett Hughes family are willing to pay for DNA kits for several family lines.
We would appreciate very much if a male descendant who is documented or certain that they are descended from William and Sarah Eades would allow us to pay for a kit for DNA testing and submit to taking the test.
Also, we would appreciate a descendant of Edward Hughes and Elizabeth Grigsby and William Hughes and Nancy Bowers of Rutherford, NC allowing us to purchase a kit for that person to be tested.
Please contact me if you are able to help or if you know someone who is. I am at jhsgran@aol.com.
Below I am posting information that I want to keep. Has nothing to do with the above request.
Hughes, Richard W.
He was born 1842, died 1913.
He enlisted as a private in Company D, 5th Alabama Regiment. He filed for his pension in Morgan County. He is buried Oleander Cemetery Marshall County. this is the same company in which our Geroge C. Hughes served.
Many Hughes found in Buncombe Co. NC.
