George Washington Hughen - Private   
George Washington Hughen was born March 1837 probably in Coweta County, Georgia, the son of James Hughen and Elizabeth Anthony. About 1860, he married Mary Elizabeth (called Martha) Meeks, the daughter of Britton Meeks and Mary Ann Couy. They had the two boys—William Washington, born in January 1861, and George Britton (aka Bud), born 27 October 1862. Apparently, Martha apparently died at the time Bud was born or shortly after. George was not at home at the time, for he had enlisted in the Army on 24 June 1862 in Montgomery County, Arkansas. He came home, where he arranged for his in-laws to care for his 2 small children. When he started back to his unit, George agreed to escort a young woman there also. Harriet Catherine (the daughter of Fielding Strawn and Nancy Ann Thomas) had married James H. Stovall less than a year earlier. James had been wounded and word was that there was no nursing care, so Harriet was going to him. James died from his wounds. When George got home from the War, Harriet and he were married on 12 July 1864 in Clark County, Arkansas. They had George’s two little boys for a while but the children spent most of their time down the road at their Meeks grandparents. Harriet and George had 6 children—Richard Taylor, Laura Florence, Wallace G. {aka Frank), John Wesley, Julia Easter, Charles Dickens Hicks--all born in Black Springs, Montgomery County, Arkansas. The family moved to Texas in the late 1890s or early 1900s. George died about 1907. On his way home one winter night, he fell into a ditch and passed out. They found him dead the next morning. Harriet died about 1913 in Frost, Navarro County, Texas. She was living with her daughter Laura Florence (Mrs. James Luther) Stockard at the time. As she lighted an oil lamp one evening, it exploded, and Harriet was severely burned. In the Frost Cemetery [Frost, Navarro County, Texas) in the Stockard Plot, there are stones for Laura and James, for one of their daughters, and for Harriet. There is also an unmarked mound, so old, you probably wouldn't notice if you weren't looking for it. It is believed to be the grave of George Washington Hughen. (George Washington Hughen is my 2nd great grand uncle.)

The following is an autobiographical sketch by James Sanders Butler:

Old Timer Give History
by J.S. Butler
To The Messenger

Will give you a little sketch of my life. I now live on route 5 out of Quinlan, I was born in 1844 in Itawamba county, Mississippi and move the same year to Arkansas, 25 miles east of Camden which was a very small village at that time, but is now quite a city with the Cotton Belt Railway passing through.
I was reared in Calhoun County Arkansas--Now ? . Entered the Confederacy from same county at the age of 17 years. Weighed 85 pounds. Bankford was my captain, Company K, Gridtesda regiment, and Tappan's brigade,
Church Hill Division. Took winter quarters at several places, was ordered to meet Genl. Bank's who was marching thorough Louisiana to Shreveport. Met him at Mansfield with a hearty reception of shot and shell. Walkers division doing the hardest fighting in the engagement.
My command was then ordered to double quick to Pleasant Hill where another hearty reception resulted in his retreat to Gun Boats ? Red River. We captured one thousand to fifteen hundred federal soldiers and that was about the only pleasant feature of Pleasant Hill on day of battle. General Walker's division entitled to the greatest praise.
We were then ordered to Camden to meet Genl. Steel who held the village and were thrown in battle line a mile west of Camden and threw bomb shells and cannon balls into the town.
Genl. Steel retreated to Little Rock and we overtook him the second day at Saline River, Jenkins ferry and a hard fought battle followed in which my Colonel and my Captain were both killed. I was beside by Colonel when he fell and a braver man never lived. His words were 'Charge them Boys!'
My regiment entered the battle as front guard and our losses were heavy. Our Lieutenant Colonel Thompson ordered 'retreat in good order' and if this retreat was good order, I don't know what they would call bad. My whole company was almost killed or wounded, myself being among the wounded, loosing two fingers and also my knap sack was shot off my back, the strap? being cut by a bullet, and a bullet went through my hat taking a whisp of hair. We then fell back with our command and moved on again driving Steel across the river toward Little Rock.
We were ordered back to Shreveport and were paroled out at Marshall, Texas and returned to our wasted homes.
In 1874 moved to Texas settling five miles south of Greenville on the Old Dock Galbraith place. I was acquainted with all the old timers near Greenville such men as David Shinson, father S. D. Shinson of Greenville, Wylie SoRoalle, Uncle Billie Horn, M..H. Wright, familiarly know as McWright.
Greenville was a small village no railroad, telephone or radio in those days. I knew the cattle brands of many of the old timers such as Glint Oldham, D. B. Tomking's, Sell Arnold's brand ? Dick Oldham, I.D. and Jackson's brand was bow and arrow and old man Blocks brand Blok. Could name many old timers but not necessary

Note: The original has been lost. This is a copy which has been handed down in our family. Some parts are unclear. I did the best I could to make out those parts.
