I did not know that a Reese Hughes was associated with TX. This story tells about Hughes Springs, TX.
This website is a great place to gain a quick view of the George Hughes family from Laurens, SC.
Ken's site motivated me to take another look at Virkus and try once more to make that connection.
The only thing I have found so far is Hughes found in Laurens Co., SC in 1800 included Aaron (Aron), Caleb, George, James, John, Joel, Thomas, William. Also, Stephen Hughes will names John & Joseph as heirs in 1799. Aaron and George are both listed on census as living in "Garretts Co.".
In Virkus, which was used as a reference for how our George Hughes is descended from the William Hughes who built St. Peter's Parish in 1703, we find a William Hughes in Albermarle Co., VA in 1785 on the census list for taxes. Also, on that list is Stephen Hughes. One has to wonder if the Stephen in Laurens is one and the same.
