Note: I put this together, not so much to create a complete Hughes genealogy, but as a tool for myself to help understand a number of the allied families and how they are connected. Thus the links to differernt files helped me to jump back and forth. Any highlighting denotes nothing more than reminders to myself of family connections or area of futher research.
