Rebecca Hughes was my g-g aunt.
*Note: Rebecca's parents were listed both on her death certificate and in her obituary as Joseph and Sarah Hale Hughes
There was a child Rebecca A. Hughes listed on the 1880 census as the daughter George Samuel Hughes (son of Joseph and Sarah Hale Hughes) and Harriet Stevenson. Also listed as daughters of the couple were Sarah Alice Hughes and Mary Ellen Hughes.
There was also a child named Rebecca Hughes listed on the 1880 census as the daughter of Joseph and Sarah Hughes. Also on the 1880 Census both Mary E. Hughes and Sarah A. Hughes were listed as living with Joseph and Sarah Hughes and listed as granddaughters.
There is a possibility that Rebecca was actually the daughter of George and Harriet and the designation on the 1880 census should have been 'granddaughter' of Joseph and Sarah. The ages of the two Rebecca were given as the same. No other records for a Rebecca Hughes in the county with that birth year have been found to indicate that there were two Rebecca Hughes born in 1875.
In any event, 'Rebecca' was listed on my great aunt Hallie's genealogical notes as her Aunt and as having married Jeff Works and was listed along with Aunt Hallie's other aunts and uncles, including George. Since everything 'written' I have seen indicates that this Rebecca Ann is George Samuel Hughes sister and not his daughter, I have followed that conjecture in documenting our 'family-tree'.
