He always had a deadly hatred of the Indianrace. Although a great many Indian murders were laid to his door, there are but few of which any proof is known. At one time General Putram was going to have him arrested, but through the agency of Colonel Ben Wilson and Colonel Elias Louths, General Putnam withdrew the order, as the Virginians thought everything of Captain Hughes, and they were afraid that if anything was done to him they would raise up and destroy the town of Marietta. At one time the Indians stole some horses belonging to him, Ratliff, Bland and Mr. Weedman. He, Ratliff, and Bland, started in pursuit. They overtook them, shot them, and re- turned with the horses. About a year after, some Indians, friends of those that were shot, came to Ratliffs and demanded indemnity for those that were killed. Ratliff sent to Hughes a number of times, but he did not go, but finally he told his daughter Mary to go home and tell her father he would be overin the morning, and tell him, "damn him, I will pay him." On his return, he told his wife that the Indians had gone, and he did not see him. Jonathan's mother was the mother of sxteen children; of whom fourteen lived to be men and women; she died in 1827.

A Letter From A Rebel Citizen

Mrs. Thersay F. Fones: |t is under peculiar circumstances that I drop you a line.

In humanity, my wife and self agreed to take him and nutse him the best we could. though we were badly situated to do so, for the army had taken everything we possessed, except our dwelling house.

all the out-buildings; but notwithstanding all this, we done the very best we could for your husband, and wedon't think he was in want of medicine, food, or attention, that he did not vet. He had camp diarrhoea and fever, and died on the twenty-ninth day of November, 1364. He was prepared to die, and only regretted leaving his wife and children. The day before he died some of the medicine his physician left for him gave out. I went immediately to see the Confederate post surgeon, Dr Bratton, who is a nice man and good physician; he came forthwith to see him, and left medicine with directions, and gave every necessary attention, but told us he was too near gone to be saved. Our town was so badly used up and everything destroyed it was with difficulty I procured his burial. The post surgeon sent me help and buried him not far from my house, near where Sherman's army buried some of their dead. You may never know with any certainty, but I say to you as a truth, we done all for your husband we could. 1 would write more if it was allowed to pass. Respectfully, W. A. WILLIAMS.
