[edit] Samuel Hughes

Looks like a hoax. I apologize if this is a real encyclopedic guy, but I couldn't find any references. Rhobite 20:13, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)

  • This Samuel Hughes is hard to pin down. However, there was apparently a Samuel Hughes who was one of the Historical members of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada (1911-1948). There was a General Sir Sam Hughes who ... er ... died, and a Colonel Sam Hughes who fought in the Boer War [1]. Then there's Sir Samuel Hughes, known as Sam Hughes, who was the Minister for Militia in Canada at the start of World War 1. There's a Sam Hughes who went to Tucson and had a neighbourhood named after him [2]. Then there's Samuel Hughes, who was a delegate to the Maryland constitutional convention of 1776 [3]. There's Judge Samuel Hughes, who was born 1741 (a good start) and who was a justice of the Washington County Court and Orphan's Court [4]. And there's Richard Samuel Hughes, who was a composer born in 1855 [5]. Some of these may not be significant historical figures, though. On the gripping hand, this is at the very least a Redirect.

    • Sounds like a good candidate for a disambiguation page. Nice research, Uncle. RickK 21:26, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
