Biographical Sketch of J. T. Hughes, Johnson County, Missouri Chilhowee Township >From "The History of Johnson County, Missouri," Kansas City Historical Co. 1881 J. T. HUGHES, P. O. Holden. Among the young men of this township, we find none more worthy of mention than the subject of this sketch. He is the son of Absolom Hughes, who was a native of Kentucky. Young Hughes was born in Adair county, Ky., Sept. 7, 1848. His father dying when he was quite young, he made his home with his grandfather, until he was six years old; when he came with his mother to Missouri, settling in the southwestern part of Johnson county. Mr. Hughes received his education in the common schools of Johnson county. He passed his earlier years on a farm near where he now lives. March 18, 1875, Mr. H. was married to Miss Frances L. Wall, a native of johnson county, and a daughter of Dr. R. Z. R. Wall. From this union there are two children, viz: Efla L. and Manford R. Since Mr. H. has reached his majority he has been engaged in farming and the raising of live stock. He owns an excellent farm of 440 acres, well adapted for the purposes for which it is used. Mr. Hughes, for a young man, has been eminently successful in his business; he posesses rare business faculties, and should he live, he will make one of Johnson county’s most influential citizens. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
