Hughes and Thomas Hughes, a passenger manifest of the Hughes family immigration to the United States in 1840, and an Indian depredation claim filed by Thomas Hughes, 1906. Original materials include a page from a store ledger, dated 1872, showing purchases, and a 1907 letter from Thomas Hughes to his sister concerning money sent as well as warning her against going to San Francisco because of the bubonic plague. A military discharge certificate and certificate of merit are present for David L. Hughes, veteran of the Spanish-American War, dated 1914 and 1899 respectively. There are also a few original photographs: Annie Hughes as an older woman, David Hughes both as a young soldier and at John C. Greenway's funeral in 1926 with fellow Rough Riders Alex Keir, John Foster, William Davidson, and George Truman. There are also two photographs of Tucson; one of the Post Office at Congress and Main, 1882, with men and boys posed out front and one of the view from the homes of Edward N. Fish and Hiram Stevens looking south onto agricultural fields.
