d.23 Sep 1886
Facts and Events
The birth county was determined from the pension papers of Jonathan Hughes, in which he said where he was living at the time of the birth of this child. Jonathan said he removed "to Greenbrier County VA in middle of January 1792 until he removed in 1808 to Harrison County, Virginia." A timeline of her parent's various locations, based on Jonathan's pension application is available.
