Subject: [PACRAWFO-L] Hughes in Crawford County

To Mark Jefferson () and other HUGHES
researchers. I found the following references to that surname
in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885."

On page 490, in the history of Titusville:
"Titusville Branch, No. 1, C.U.B.A., was chartered June 1,
1879, with these officers: William Moran, Pres.; William Dillon,
1st V.P.; James Kennedy, 2d V.P.; Martin T. Carroll, Rec. Sec.;
James Leslie, Asst. Rec. Sec.; D.D. HUGHES, Fin. Sec.; John
Theobald, Treas.; William H. Slatery, Marshall; Ephraim
Robinson, Guard. Monday evening is the date of regular meetings;
the membership is 107."

On page 523, in the history of Conneaut Township:
"The following statement shows the condition of the Population
tracts in 1812, when the company (my note here - the American Land
Company) closed its business - the number of the tract, name of
settler, date of contract, number of acres, contracted for and its
final
disposition. Each tract contains an area slightly exceeding 400
acres.
Tract 683, Ezekiel Murdock, October 27, 1797, 200 acres, deed
granted Amos Line, assignee of Murdock;
684, Eliphalet Beebe, November 9, 1797, 200 acres, deed granted
Amos Line, assignee of Beebe;
685, Samuel Hungerford, November 9, 1797, 200 acres, slightly
improved, then abandoned; same tract, George Cook, March 27, 1805,
100 acres, abandoned.
687, Caleb Luce, September 23, 1797, 100 acres, settled under
contract and deed granted Alexander Johnson, assignee of Luce.
All of the above, except the last named, were intruded upon in
1801,
1802 and 1803, but abandoned after a two or three years' settlement.
689, David Luce, September 23, 1797, 200 acres, settlement
completed;
690, John Reed, November 7, 1797, 100 acres;
691, Sam Hunt, 200 acres
692, Samuel Hunt, Jr., 100 acres, November 9, 1797, settled
three or four years and abandoned, intruded on in 1801, 1802 and
1803,
and since abandoned.
693, Amos Line, November 9, 1797, 200 acres, settled and deed
abandoned.
************* 694, John SHOTWELL, November 20, 1797, improved but
abandoned
and settled by an intruder;
695, Daniel Casey, November 9, 1797, 200 acres, deed granted
Casey
April 11, 1804;
696, Isaac Hunt, November 9, 1797, 200 acres, settled and deed
delivered to Amos Line, assignee of Hunt;
697, James Reed, November 7, 1797, 200 acres, settled under
contract,
and deed granted Ralph Martin;
698, Isaac Parr, November 9, 1797, 100 acres, settled under
contract;
701, John Parr, November 9, 1807, 200 acres, settlement
completed
under contract;
702, small improvement under contract and abandoned;
703, William Burnsides, August 20, 1798, 100 acres, slightly
improved
and abandoned, intruded on and again abandoned;
704, Dennis HUGHES, October 7, 1797, 200 acres, settled by an
intruder;
705, Robert Martin, December 2, 1809, 100 acres, settled under
contract;
706 and 707, William Latta, April 27, 1805, 100 acres each,
settled
under contract;
************* 708, William SHOTWELL, November 20, 1797, 200
acres, deed granted
SHOTWELL, but land settled by an intruder...."

On page 621, in the history of Sadsbury Township:
"The two Holland Land tracts located in the northeast corner of
the
township were sold in 1800 to S.b. and A.W. Foster, of Meadville. Of
the four tracts of the Pennsylvania Population Company, 200 acres of
Tract 755 were contracted for by Joseph Allen, October 23, 1797, and
a deed granted him March 25, 1802; 200 acres of 756, under same
date,
by Daniel Williams, who settled under contract; 200 acres, Tract
761, by
Samuel Williamson, under contract of October 23, 1797, settled and
deed delivered. The east half of Tract 767 is also in Sadsbury; it
is
marked a swamp in the records of 1812. All the above settled on
their
tracts and remained for years. Samuel Williamson operated a
distillery;
he came from the southern part of the State. Dennis HUGHES,
originally
from Ireland, directly from New Jersey, came in 1802, and settled in
the northwest part of the township."

That's all for HUGHES in this reference!
