GEORGE G. HUGHES, a native of Burlington, Boone Co., Ky., was born
September 16, 1844, and is the third son of Ethan Allen and Nancy (Crisler)
Hughes, also natives of Boone County.  Grandfather Hughes was born in
Washington County, Penn., and Grandfather Lewis Crisler, of German descent,
came from Virginia, settled on Gunpowder Creek, and built a water mill and
distillery.  Ethan Allen Hughes is still living in Boone County, about one
mile from Burlington.  George G. Hughes received an academical education
and read law under J. W. Calvert, beginning in 1863; he then attended the
Ohio State and Union Law College, at Cleveland, Ohio, from which he
graduated in 1867, and at once commenced practice in Burlington.  November
12, 1876, he married Miss Hattie, a daughter of Thomas Dempsey, an old
resident of Kenton County.  To this marriage have been born on boy, William
C., June 19, 1880, and one girl, Arta Wallace, July 4, 1882.  The Doctor is
a R.A.M. and in politics is a Republican.  His great-grandfather, Col. Hugh
Hughes, of the Revolutionary war, was a close confident [sic] of Gen.
Washington, and after the independence of the colonies was gained and
acknowledged, married and settled in Washington County, Penn.
