Genealogy: Our Branch of the Hughen Family Tree

Last night after watching a show about the Highland games in Scotland, Denise started looking up some information about the Hughen family tree. Dad helped confirm some of the names which he knew.

So here is our tiny branch of the Hughen tree, for simplicity, I only included the males with the Hughen surname. Links when possible to online sources.

  • Samuel Hughen or Hughens arrived in Charleston, SC in July 1772. He is thought to have sailed to the US from Larne, County Antrim, Ireland in a large Protestant movement to the United States.
  • Robert Hughen - born 1784
  • James Hughen - born 1800
  • George Washington Hughen - born 1837 - the link shows George as a Private in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He seemed to serve in the 33rd Arkansas Infantry. It also documents his son Wallace (Frank). He was also the first to move his family to Texas in the late 1890s.
  • Wallace G. (Frank) Hughen - born 1870
  • Victor Alvin Hughen - born 1900
  • James Frank Hughen - born 1946
  • Mark Timothy Hughen - born 1969 - Most of Mark's online presence is in the referee reports of the Texas Rugby Referees
  • Isaac Alan Hughen - born 2001
