    "Henry Freeman Hughes of East Haven, Conn., said to have been born in Wales in 1723 and to have deserted from the British navy, probably at Boston, appears in East Haven about 1748. In 1752 he bought land there, and for many years ran the ferry from Stable Point to New Haven over Wallingford river. In 1758 he signed his name Huse. He was an Episcopalian, and at one time in prosperous circumstances, yet died insolvent. He married 19 July, 1749, Lydia Tuttle, daughter of Noah Tuttle. She was born 27 Jan., 1722. He died 13 Oct, 1791, and his widow died in Fair Haven, 2 August, 1794."

    "Henry Freeman Hughes came from Wales and married Lydia, a daughter of Noah Tuttle, whose interest in her father's property fell to her. It seems Mr. Hughes owned and kept the lower, or Hughes Ferry, the boat of which was propelled by means of horse power. Their mother not having been able to walk, her husband remained with her, which accounts for their being home when the enemy arrived. Their two sons gone, taking with them the horses so that the enemy were not able to use the scow ferryboat when the evening arrived, they were very much enraged and abused Mr. Hughes, but he being a Welchman and this company belonging to the Welch Fusileers all was made right, and of the four houses at Waterside his was the only one left standing."
