She was born in Harrison County VA (WV) about 1787 and died in Roane County WV May 30, 1883. The family were the earliest settlers at present day Gandeeville, Roane County WV, arriving about 1824. Mercy "Massie" Hughes's father Jesse Hughes (1750-1829) was a famous frontiersman, hunter, and scout who was an early settler in the western region of Virginia that became West Virginia and Kentucky. Jesse was born about 1750. He came to Hacker's Creek around 1769 from the South Branch Valley with a group of home seekers led by Samuel Pringle. In 1771 he married Grace Tanner, the daughter of one of the first settlers, and built his home on the ready cleared land of a former Indian village. But Jesse was not cut out for farming. By nature he was a woodsman and spent most of his time roaming the forests in search of game. Between him and his brother, Thomas, a supply of fresh meat was always kept on hand and in addition, Jesse acquired a knowledge of the surrounding territory which was later to be of inestimable value to the settlers from Bush's on the Buckhannon to Morgan's on the Monongahela. Jesse's father, Thomas, who settled on Elk Creek, in what is now Harrison County, West Virginia, was killed by Indians two years later. The obdurate hatred of all Indians engendered in the the restless, half wild Jesse by this occurance, coupled with his uncanny ability as a woodsman, made him the scourge and dread and the pet hate of every Indian ventering into his vicinity. Jesse was of medium height, lean and wiry and possessed of an unmatched endurance, agility, and fleetness of limb. His countenance was fierce-as was his temper-with thin lip, a narrow chin, acqualine nose, and piercing restless eyes of an indefinable color between blue and grey. Jesse Hughes was noted for his hatred of Native Americans, and is said to have killed many in battle, and murdered several others. "He was as savage as a wolf, and he liked to kill an Indian better than to eat his dinner", said the wife of one of his descendants in 1902. Jesse Hughes and his family lived in a cabin on Hacker's Creek, near a stream that is now known as "Jesse's Run", located in present day Lewis County, West Virginia. Jesse Hughes is believed to have been one of the first American colonists to explore the Hughes River in West Virginia. It may have been named for him, or for others of the same surname residing in the area during roughly the same time period.

"Enoch Westfall, a son of George Westfall and a brother of Martin Westfall and a number of others, came to Truby's Run about 1880. He had two children, Preston and Lummie. His ancestors were among the earliest settlers in Upshur County.

Lummie married John Jones and has always lived in the old home section." The above information about Enoch Westfall and his family is from a book "The History of Sago Community" Prepared By E. R. Grose - Here is some more information from the book about the Sago, Upshur Co., West Virginia community - "Sago has a very picturesque location. It is situated along the banks of a beautiful, clear, and swift running little river, called the Buckhannon, whose course is hemmed in by the hills on either side, and whose banks are lined, in many places, with the hemlock and the rhododendron, our state flower. In winter those plants often bend with masses of snow, and they, with the dashing waters and broken pieces of ice rushing against the rocks, which lift their heads above the waters, present a scene of beauty as fine as may be found anywhere. The county seat, called Buckhannon, is located six miles north on the same river."} ----------------- (7a) George and Lydia (Cutright) Westfall's son Oliver Westfall born September 14, 1828 married Laura Cutright. ----------------- (8a) George and Lydia (Cutright) Westfall's son George Westfall born November 09, 1830 married Drusilla Williams. ----------------- (9a) George and Lydia (Cutright) Westfall's daughter Lydia Westfall born February 01, 1833 married Benjamin Conley.�Benjamin Conley was born in 1813.

(Note: From - Pioneers of Jackson County - Part 3 - http://www.webroots.org/library/usahist/pojc0003.html ------ WESTFALL FAMILY -- Zachariah Westfall was another of the pupils in the first Buckhannon school, along with Thomas Carney and David Casto. He came from Hackers Creek to Mill Creek in 1827, and settled on Buffalo Lick Run of Tug Fork. (Perhaps he was a son of James Westfall, of Beverly.) He had several sons, among them Andrew, Owen, Clark, John, and George. Andrew Westfall came with his father, and made the first improvement at the Skidmore farm, at the mouth of Buffalo Lick. He later moved to Tug Fork. He married Mary Hyre, a sister of Jacob Hyre, Sr. Their children were: John H. Westfall, married Marinda Green, and lived on the head of Elk Fork. Noah Westfall, married a daughter of Old Davy Litton, and lived on Wolf Camp, later he married Martha Chancey, and built the first cabin where the late A. S. Chancey lived, near Reedy. Abraham Westfall, married Mollie Harper. He lived on the lower flat fork of Poca. James and Andy Westfall are said to be his sons. Susanna Westfall was born on the Buckhannon River, in 1815. She died in 1846, married Stephen, son of John Carpenter, of Lewis County. Their daughter, Lucretia J., married Samuel B. Hinzman. Rachel Westfall, moved west. Katy Westfall, married John G. Casto, oldest son of George Casto, by his last marriage. Mary Westfall, married George, son of Uriah Gandee. Betty Westfall, married Calvary Chancey, on Reedy. They had two sons, Andrew and William, both in the Union Army, the latter was killed at a tobacco house raising at the place now owned by D. Wetter on "Dutch Ridge". Debby Westfall, married Henderson Harper. Lizbeth Westfall, married Isaac Rollins, whose second wife was a daughter of Captain Billy Parsons. Barbara Westfall was born August 26th, 1826, married Andrew Stewart, and lived at the Three forks of Reedy. Virginia Westfall, married Fielding Parsons, a son of George Parsons, of Trace Fork. In 1772, James Westfall settled at the present site of Beverly. His son, George, married Roxhanna Cutright, and raised a family in Randolph County, probably a brother of Zachariah above. Andrew Westfall was a man of a good deal of local influence in his community, and like Nimod, was famous for killing the wild beasts of the forest. His wife died when Mrs. Stewart was but five or six years old, and later he moved his family onto a hill on the flatwoods of Elk. After remaining there a few years, he bought a farm on Elk Fork, one half mile above Tolleys mill. Clark Westfall, brother of Andrew, lived on Frozen Camp, about a mile from the mouth. He owned the Elias and Sam Parsons farm. He is described as a "school teacher and a good one, too". He taught in different little cabin schoolhouses, or vacant dwellings, during the 30's and 40's. Clark Westfall sold his farm to Charles Parsons in 1846, and moved "to the west". Granville Westfall, who married Captain W. W. Parsons widow, was his son. Steven and Jacob Westfall, who settled on lower tug Fork, were sons of a brother of Zachariah. Jacob died unmarried. Steven moved to Elk before 1833. George Castos wife was his sister. Watt Rollins claims Stephen Westfall was a son of John Westfall. One of his sons, Isaac N. Westfall, born in 1841 and died in 1879, from the effects of a wound received at Cloyds Mountain. He married Catharine Tibble, daughter of James and Margaret Calbraith Tibble, of Athens County, Ohio. John B. Westfall, of Elk Fork, another son, was a carpenter and a noted athlete. Henry Knopp, of Mill Creek, relates that when he was a boy, Westfall built a new hewed log house for his father, George Knopp. This was considered at that time quite a fine residence, since, it has been weather boarded, ceiled, and painted, and is the same house in which Mr. Knopp now lives. When Westfall finished nailing on the roof, he threw his hatchet to the ground, and sticking his feet up into the air, walked along the comb of the building on his hands to the other end, where he could climb down. There was a Job Westfall, one of the first settlers of Sherman District, Calhoun County. Peggy Westfall married Abe Litton. Jemima Westfall married first Richard Hite, and second Ches Tenney, who was killed in the Confederate Army. Ellen Westfall married William Green. John Westfall, of Lewis County, married Elizabeth Allman, and their daughter, Barbara Westfall, born 1829, married Isaac Montgomery, of Roane County, Manuel Westfall was killed by the Union soldiers with Andy Cottrill, on Spring Creek, above Spencer.)
