Bio by Bernie L. Hughes
From handwritten notes at the Scribner Library we read: "John C. Hughes purchased O.T. Craig's house December 1, 1891."
John married in Ashland October 27, 1892, Alice May Boynton.
When John was born, Ashland was still a part of Holderness. He was born at the home of his parents on the North Ashland Road. His father built the brick house, now known as the Alvord house after he arrived in Holderness from Windham, N.H. on April 10, 1839 B.L.H.
In July 1868, the town of Holderness was divided by political trouble. For the part now known as Ashland, two names were suggested, Oakland and Ashland; Oakland because of the many oak trees, that predominated. The men who assembled to decide the matter of names were Barnet Hughes, Henry Dearborn, Orlando Keyes and Clark Wright. The result of the vote was to call the town Ashland. Annals of Meredith, N.H., pp95-96.
