'The subject of this sketch and his brother, older, were placed each one in a salt sack, were hung over the pommel of the saddle and were carried to Bowling Green in that manner. They made the trip as fast as their geese would travel, as they drove them and had to cut a path through the woods. 'The Hughes and Ratliff families were the first white settlers that settled within the boundary of Licking county, and he is the only surviving member of either family. His father was ninetyseven years old when he died; he was a soldier in the battle at Point Pleasant in 1774, and was not married until he was past twenty-five. 'They lived in Bowling Green ten years, when they moved upon North Fork, on a farm owned by Samuel Davis.

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.
