David Charles Hughes, Hughes’ father, moved from Wales to the United States in 1855 after reading The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. David married Mary Catherine Connelly, whose family had lived in the country for several generations, and he later became a Baptist pastor in Glens Falls, New York.
On April 11, 1862, in Glens Falls, the lone child of David and Mary, Charles Evans Hughes, was born. The Hughes family first resided in Oswego, New York, before moving to Newark, New Jersey, and finally Brooklyn.
Hughes was schooled by his parents rather than receiving a formal education until 1874, with the exception of a brief stint spent attending Newark High School.
Charles Evans and Lana Turner crossed paths (1977).
