Book Description
Excerpt from Hughes and Allied Families It was the fortune of one of the compilers of this volume to enjoy largely the society and companionship early in life of cousins in the maternal line. He parted from them in bright, hopeful, buoyant youth, at the very portals of manhood and womanhood, through which none had yet entered to assume the sober cares of life - with some for long years - with others forever. Kindnesses and cousin] y attachment had ripened into the tenderest friendships, and they are remembered with that partial affection which exalting their virtues and their beauties of mind and person, refuses to admit any of their possible faults. The delightful intercourse with them rests in the memory among the brightest scenes in life. A family history which should omit them would fall far short of the object to be aecom plishcd. The following pages are designed to include a complete history of the descendants of Henry F. And Bardwell Hughes, and such account of the Bowen family as lay fairly within reach. Brief notices of other allied families are given for reasons sufficiently manifest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
