A payroll of Captain William Lowthers Company of VA militia credits Jesse with 132 days service in Lord Dunmore's Ohio Campaign in 1774. In 1778, a party of Indians murdered Jesse's father, Thomas Hughes and in 1787, another party of Indians led by the white renegade, Leonard Schoolcraft, captured Jesse's daughter. Although Jesse was able to purchase his daughter's freedom the following year, the two incidents turned Jesse and his brother Elias into implacable enemies of the Indians. ~~~~ Harrison co marriages: 1794 - William Cottrall and Rachel Hughes 1795 - Benjamin Cox and Mary Hughes 1795 - William Bibby and Deborah Hughes 1800 - Jesse Huse and Susana Mock 1800 - James Stanley and Elizabeth Huse 1808 - Samuel Childers and Rebecca Hughes 1816 - William Childers and Nancy Hughes ~~~~ Pg. 25 Edward C.Smith's History of Lewis Co, WV Jesse HUGHES chose a tract of land near mouth of Jesse's run (known as Jesse Hughes' run in early records) on his first visit to Hacker's creek in 1769, built cabin and settled there after his marriage to Miss Grace Tanner in 1770 or 1771.

  Notes	I have a marriage date of 21 Oct 1818 in Mason Co. It isn't in the book, and I don't know where the date came from. Nancy may not be the daughter of Jesse and Grace, but she has children with these names which leads me to believe she may be. If so, she was born late in Grace's life. 1820 Mason Co., VA Hanshaw, George 1 m under 10, 1 m 16-26, 1 f 16-26 1830 Lebanon, Meigs Co., OH Henshaw, George 2 m under 5 [Uriah, Levi] 1 m 10-15 [?] 1 m 30-40 1 f under 5 [Grace] 1 f 5-10 [Mary] 1 f 20-30 1840 Jackson Co., VA Hanshaw, George 2 m under 5 [Jonny 3, Jesse 8?] 2 m 10-15 [Uriah 13, Levi born 1830?] 1 m 40-50 1 f under 5 [Rachel Amanda] 2 f 10-15 [Mary, Grace] 1 f 30-40 1850 Jackson, VA # 243-247 Hanshaw Nancy 40 F Va Hanshaw Levi 21 M Job Worker Va Hanshaw Jesee 18 M Farmer Va Hanshaw Jonny 13 M Va Hanshaw Amanda 12 F Va Bennet Thos 36 M Farmer Pa Bennet Grace 25 F Va 1860 Randolph, Ohio, Indiana Thos Bennett 54 PA carpenter Gracey 44 VA Robert 16 Va F L 11 m VA T G 7 m VA Nancy 6 VA J S 7/12 m Ind Nancy Hanshaw 60 OH 1870 Gilmore, Jackson Co., WV Nancy Hanshaw 60 1809 Virginia Seamstress Bennett, Francis 19 VA Thomas 17 VA Nancy A. 15 VA Joseph S. 10 VA Bishop's History of Roane County: long a resident near mouth of Straight Fork, three miles out from Ravenswood.
