Sarah 'Sally' Hughes

“ I don't recall how the name "Jesse" got (erroneously, I believe) in these early Hughes, but it was Robert Hughes that was the husband of Sarah Tarleton.”

Given that Sarah Tarleton was not included in Stephen Tarleton's will, a source is needed to prove she was indeed his daughter.

Sarah's will is posted in Deed Book 1, p. 188:

Will of Sarah Hughes of St. James Parish, Henrico County, dated 8 January 1723, proved 19 May 1730:

• 1) son Stephen
• 2) son Robert
• 3) Ashford Hughes
• 4) daughter Sarah Atkinson
• 5) daughter Elizabeth Liles
• 6) daughter Mary Hughes
• 7) son Isaac Hughes
• 8) granddaughter Elizabeth Cannon

1700, 2, 28. Sarah Hughes Sr. signed a cert of a marriage held in Black Creek MH.
1703, 10, 10. Sarah Hughes Senior & Junior signed a certificate of a marriage held in Henrico County. (Same day Stephen Hughes signed a certificate of a marriage at Wm. Porter's house, Henrico County.)
1710, 6, 23. Robert Sr, Robert Jr and Sarah Hughes signed certificate of a marriage held in New Kent. (Same day Stephen Hughes signed certificate of a marriage at New Kent MH.)
