From: "Patricia Abernathy" Date: Sunday, March 21, 2004 8:55 PM I am looking for information on my ancestors. William Hughes was a Private, Sergeant and Captain in the Virginia Militia of the Revolutionary War. His wife's name was Mary Sampson Hughes. He died in Lincoln County on November 14, 1834. I am trying to document my ancestry for DAR. Also, I would appreciate any information on Burkett (Birkitt) Hughes which was William's first born. He married Celia Mounce in Garrard County December 27, 1797. Celia was a daughter of Mathias Mounce (Mounts). Any information would be greatly appreciated.
