    ROBERT F. HUGHES, born in Calhoun County, Ala.; is a son of John T. and Mary
T. (Brown) Hughes, natives of South Carolina.

    The senior Mr. Hughes came to Alabama in 1832, and settled near Weaver's
Station, where he engaged in farming. He represented Calhoun County, in its
early history, as a member of the Legislature. He reared three sons and seven
daughters, of whom William J. T. died in the war; John W., of Atlanta, served
through the war and was in prison at Fort Delaware two years. Mr. Hughes was a
member of the Presbyterian Church, and died in 1875, at the age of seventy-four
years. His widow, who is still living, moved to Cross Plains. The Hughes family
are originally from Ireland.

    The subject of this sketch was reared on a farm and received a common-school
education. He was engaged in farming up to 1879, when he entered mercantile
business, which he has conducted successfully ever since.
