      Records indicate that Thomas Hughes family came from Prince Willi am Co ., VA after the Revolutionary War to an area in Nicholas County, then settling at Hacker's Creek Local history books claim this family traces its roots to the Hughes family that emigrated from Wales by way of Scotland in the mid-1600's. However, DAR records show he was born in Ireland Thomas served as a private in the Virginia troops.
