About William Hughes

A Patriot of the American Revolution for SOUTH CAROLINA (Soldier). DAR Ancestor # A059313

Married in 1818 to Hannah DeVeaux, but online records place many of his children being born before this. Also, international marriage index places her birth date at 1805 in that marriage record, which would make her 13 at her marriage.
