  * 2. "1871 Morgan County, GA Tax Digest," Morgan County, GA, 1871, Printed Tax Digest, Morgan County, GA Archives. The 1871 Morgan County Tax Digest lists James McHUGH as having 3 children between the ages of 6 and 18 years. It shows he had 5 hands employed between the ages of 12 and 65 years. In 1871, James had 534 acres of land in Morgan County valued at $2,670 (that comes to $5.00 per acre). The value of all his other property was $475.
  * 3. "1878 Morgan County, GA Tax Digest," Morgan County, GA, 1878, Printed Tax Digest, Morgan County, GA Archives, Madison, GA. The 1878 Morgan County Tax Digest shows James as owning 828 acres.
  * 4. "1883 Morgan County, GA Tax Digest," Morgan County, GA, 1883, Printed Tax Digest, Morgan County, GA Archives, Madison, GA. The 1883 Tax Digest shows James owning 964 acres and employing 9 hands.
  * 5. "1885 Morgan County, GA Tax Digest," Morgan County, GA, 1885, Printed Tax Digest, Morgan County, GA Archives, Madison, GA. The 1885 Tax Digest lists James S. McHUGH. This is the first time we saw his middle initial in any records. This Digest shows that James owned 1,142 acres valued at $4,568 (that's only $4.00 an acre). The 1885 Digest also lists a company by the name of McHUGH & Dickson. The company owned something worth $125 in town, although we don't know which town. It may be Rutledge or Madison. In addition, the 1885 Digest lists William McHUGH as owning 100 acres and Bart owning 60 acres. Bart is listed in other records as Barton McHUGH.
  * 6. "1890 Morgan County, GA Tax Digest," Morgan County, GA, 1890, Printed Tax Digest, Morgan County, GA Archives, Madison, GA. The 1890 Morgan County Tax Digest lists James McHUGH as owning 1142 acres valued at $5,568 (that's $4.88 per acre) and $417 in horses and mules. The 1890 Digest also indicated that James owned the Iron Works Foundaries and the company owned $380 worth of property. William McHUGH was listed owning 100 acres and Barton owning 68 acres. Benjamin McHUGH and Edward M. McHUGH were listed, but owned no property.
  * 7. "1895 Morgan County, GA Tax Digest," Morgan County, GA, 1895, Printed Tax Digest, Morgan County, GA Archives, Madison, GA. We finally established from a list of Morgan County deaths that James McHUGH died on February 7, 1896. This death date is inscribed on his grave marker. However, the 1895 Morgan County Tax Digest shows the "James McHUGH Estate" as owning 1,142 acres. It's possible he may have actually died in 1895.
  * 8. "1897 Morgan County, Ga Tax Digest," Morgan County, GA, 1897, Printed Tax Digest, Morgan County, GA Archives, Madison, GA. The 1897 Tax Digest lists the James McHUGH Estate as owning 732 acres, Mrs. Elizabeth McHUGH owning 210 acres, William McHUGH owning 60 acres and Columbus McHUGH owning 110 acres. B. F. McHUGH and Eddie McHUGH were listed in the Digest, but owned no acreage.

  * 10. "Memoirs Of Georgia," 1895, Volume II, Page 585. "James McHUGH, farmer, Rutledge, was born in Morgan County in 1825, and is the son of Charles and Mary (Pritchell) McHUGH. His grandfather, George McHUGH, was a native of Ireland, and came to America before the revolutionary war and served with the patriots in that conflict. He first settled in Virginia on coming here, then moved to South Carolina, where he remained until his death. Charles, a son of George, was born in South Carolina, came to Georgia in 1815, and settled among the Indians. He was a teacher most of his life, and was employed in the early academies and colleges. He was justice of the peace for over twenty-five years. His wife was the daughter of Joshua Pritchell, one of the early residents of the state. Mr. James McHUGH was reared on the home farm and received his schooling in the old-time log cabin and [studied, read?] by the aid of the pine knot fireside. When he was seventeen years of age he left home and went to Stone Mountain and began work for the Georgia Railroad, continuing there until about ten years ago, or over thirty-eight years. When he left home all of his possessions were a homespun sack of clothes, which had been spun and woven by his mother, but his industry and energy brought him success, and at the time of the breaking out of the war he was in good financial circumstances. The war wrested from [him] the larger part of his property, and he had to start over again. He now owns about 1,500 acres of good land, a large part of which is in a good state of cultivation. In 1849 he married Lynda Garner, daughter of Samuel Garner. They have six children, four of whom are living; Baily, Benjamin, Edward, and Mary. The mother was born and reared in Morgan County. She is a member of the Methodist church, and Mr. McHUGH has been a Mason for twenty-five years."

Notes:
  * The family cemetery is located on Double Bridge Road in Morgan County. >From the McHUGH Hill Church, go 1.2 miles northwest (away from Hard Labor Creek). The cemetery is on the left, up a 5 or 6 foot embankment, about 30 feet from the road. There are three markers in the small cemetery. However, my grandmother remembers coming to Morgan County in the 1920's for Bart McHUGH's funeral. She says he was buried in this cemetery. There is no headstone for Bart. However, there is a sunken place next to Julia Brown's marker. This could possibly be Bart McHUGH's grave.
  * The inscriptions follow:
  * Julia Brown wife of B. T. McHUGH Born Nov. 30, 1848 Died Mar. 28, 1909 Sleep on dear wife and mother. And take thy rest. For thy Lord and Savior knew the best. Elizabeth McHUGH Born Feb. 18, 1828 Died June 12, 1912 Weep not for her Who meekly led a life of piety and love. Whose unassuming virtue shed a Hallowed influence from above.
  * James McHUGH Born Aug. 23, 1825, Died Feb. 7, 1896, An amiable father here lies at rest as ever God with His image blest The friend of man. The friend of truth. The friend of age, the guide of youth.
