Notes for Little Berry HUGHES
Little Berry Hughes married Drucilla Tuck in Smith Co., Tenn., in the early 40's. Soon after his marriage he moved to Butler Co., Ky., and later to Logan Co. in the same State. He was a successful farmer, provided well for his family, and gave liberally to the Methodist church, of which he was a faithful, consistent member.

He died, I think, between 1890 and '95. I regret that I have not been able to obtain as complete a history of his family, as I would wish.

His children were 8 in number, as follows:

a — William Powell. e— Jennie,

b— Edna Rebecca. f— Emma,

c— Selenda. g— Leander.

d— Elza. h— James Henry

a— William Powell went to Texas when a young man. He married a Miss Busby in that State. He is said to have gone later to the Indian Territory, and all trace of him has been lost.

b— Edna Rebecca Hughes married John Cardwell, a farmer. Address, Sugar Grove, Ky. She died in March 1909.

c— Selenda married William Deel. Address not known.

d— Elza Hughes married Thomas Bobbitt, a farmer. Address, Sugar Grove, Ky.

e— Jennie Hughes married Scott Page. Address, Sugar Grove, Ky.

f — Emma Hughes married James Rush

g — Leander Hughes married Emma Conifex or Carnifex. He died about 1 year after his marriage, and when he was about 22 years old.

h— James Henry Hughes died in childhood.

I am not sure that the above arrangement of my uncle Little Berry's children is exactly in the order of their ages.
