Hutson (Hudson) B. Hughes was born in Franklin County, GA, May 18, 1829 as stated on his 1902 pension application. The 1904 pension application states he was born May, 1831 in Franklin County, GA. His wife was Amanda E. Unknown. They had the following children:

1. James Russell (Dub) Hughes
2. Harriett E. Hughes
3. Franklin H. Hughes
4. Edward Lee Hughes
5. George Hughes
6. Jessie Hughes

We suspect that the William Hughes living in Franklin County in 1830 (born in NC) was the father of Hutson Hughes. We think that possibly Franklin A. Hughes and Allen W. Hughes were also sons of William Hughes.

H. Hews first appears in the 1860 Catoosa County Georgia Census dated 19, June 1860 on Page 927, Line 5. He was living in Catoosa Springs and he listed his occupation as farming. He stated he was 33 years old with a wife and 3 children. Moved to Apison, James County, TN about 1884.

The War Department appears to have Hutson Hughes listed as B. H. Hughes, private, Company K, 43rd Tennessee Infantry, C.S.A. He enlisted December 8, 1862, at Ooltewah, TN, bounty due $50.00, captured and paroled at Vicksburg July 4-9, 1863, present at March 12, 1864 muster.
