Benjamin Hughson (b. Abt. 1710, d. date unknown)
Notes for Benjamin Hughson:
John's father, Thomas and his 4 brothers (Richard, Nathaniel, Walter
and William) were incarcerated in the West Chester County Jail, where they
remained over the summer of 1741. Eventually they were released with the
stipulation that they would leave the county immediately (as there was no
evidence against them). The men pleaded with the judicial system to free
them on the basis that their families were starving and they needed their
support.
