Joseph, I have dates on Margarette Elizabeth Dutton Hughes as 12-21-1840 to 7-1-1908. She is buried at Cottondale Cemetery (near Bridgeport) in Wise County Tx, along with husband George Hughes and a son John who died at age 20 of "the fever." I sent (requested) my dad drop by that cemetery about a month ago. I had been there but was unable to locate the graves. He walked right to them (of course) and stated there was "other family" buried there also. (Side note: A member of the Dalton gang is buried next to them). The 3 Hughes mentioned above are the only Hughes listed in the cemetery records. When I go to photograph the stones (I will, it is about 100 miles >from me) I will check. Maybe there are some Duttons there? Or perhaps Hughes daughters, by married names I am unfamiliar with. Also, I have a photo of Margarette and husband - are we interested in sharing these? I am pretty stupid, but both of my daughters have scanners (Hey, I can type), so I am sure I could get someone to send it for me. Janice Did I ever mention there is a Dutton Rd near Bowie Tx? Just north of Wise County. George and Margrette lived near Bowie for a short time in 1890s. The Dutton Rd is between (very small) communities of Ringgold and Stoneburg Tx - within 20 miles of Red River (Oklahoma border).
