Lloyd Hughes, Jr.

Lloyd Allen Hughes, Jr., 1996

Dates: 1956–

Family: Hughes (Hemings)

Residence (at time of interview): Marshall, VA

In 1996, four generations of the Hughes family of Fauquier County came to Monticello soon after learning of their descent from Rev. Robert Hughes of Union Run Baptist Church and head gardener Wormley Hughes of Monticello.  The connection might have been broken because their ancestor, also Wormley Hughes (1851-1901), left Albemarle County with the Union army in the confusion at the end of the Civil War. Lloyd Hughes, known as Peter, attended the University of Maryland and works for the Coca-Cola company.
