David Charles Hughes, Hughes’ father, was motivated by The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin to go to America from Wales in 1855.
In Glens Falls, New York, David married Mary Catherine Connelly, a native American whose family had lived in the country for several generations, and he became a Baptist preacher there.
