Joseph L. Hughes
Goodspeed's History of Southeast Missouri
Biographies of Scott County, 1888
Joseph L. Hughes, a prosperous young former and stock raiser, of Sylvania Township, Scott Co., Mo., was born and reared on the farm on which he now resides. He was born in 1860, and is a son of Nathaniel and Jane (Timmons) Hughes. Nathaniel Hughes was born in Missouri. His wife was born in Middle Tennessee. After she had reached maturity, she came to Southwest Missouri with some of her relatives and was afterward married. Her husband entered government land and improved a farm, on which he lived until his death in 1881, aged fifty-six years. They were the parents of seven children, of whom four are living: Alice, Mary (the wife of B. Myers), Andrew, and Joseph L. Those dead are Margaret, who died after reaching maturity, and two that died in infancy. Joseph L. has always resided on the place of his birth. He is now managing the farm in a successful manner and has 110 acres under cultivation, mostly in wheat and corn. Mrs. Hughes, the mother of Joseph L., was born in 1825. She and her daughter Alice now reside on the home place and keep house for him.
