John was the son of Cadwalader Hugh and Gwen Verch Williams. He was born in Yspytty Evan Parish, Denbigh, Wales, United Kingdom.

John Hugh, a farmer, and Martha Caimot were married in Merionethshire, Wales about 1680. This Quaker family produced 3 children named Jane, Rowland and Ellis Hughes. All born in Wales. John's first wife is believed to have died enroute during her immigration voyage to Pennsylvania.

As with most other Welsh and English Quaker families, religion probably drove John's 1698 decision to migrate to Pennsylvania. He and his many neighbors who migrated around the same time undoubtedly sought to take advantage of the fortuitous availability of good land in Quaker Pennsylvania, which William Penn (a Quaker) had established in 1681, to escape rugged persecution of Quakers by the Church of England.

John and his children arrived in America on 17 Jul 1698 aboard the ship "Robert and Elizabeth". John is listed as one of the original purchasers in 11,450 acre tract known as Gwynedd. He acquired 648 acres for his own use.

About 1701 John married a second time to a Eleanor "Ellen" Ellis. They had 2 children; Margaret "Mary" b.1702 and Gainor Hughes b.1704. Ellen died about 1716.

John Hughes married for a third time to an Ellen Williams on 12 Feb 1717 in Upper Radnor Twp., Montgomery Co., PA. All that is known about his third Quaker wife is that she was born about 1670.

John Hughes was the first to be buried in Exeter MM burying ground. The meeting house and cemetery are about a half-mile north of Squire Boone's (Daniel Boone's father) homestead. Mordecai Lincoln, (Abraham Lincoln's 3rd great grandfather) was also a member of Exeter Monthly Meeting.
