Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Hughes, Charles François de Brouague, 1783-1868 : Charles François De Brouage Hughes was born in Montreal, the son of James Hughes (1748-1825), town major of Montreal from 1767 to 1823, and Charlotte Martel De Brouage (b. 1747). Charles was commissioned as an ensign in 1796, a lieutenant in 1797, a captain in 1804, a major in 1814 and a lieutenant-colonel in 1835; he served throughout his career in the 24th Regiment. Much of Hughes' military service was outside North America, but he did serve in Canada from 1796 to 1800, and from 1829 to 1841. Hughes commanded the 24th Regiment during the Rebellion of 1837-1838 at St. Denis, Niagara and Napierville.

While Charles Hughes ultimately settled in England, other family members remained in America; his eldest brother, James (1772-1853) was a North West Company partner. His uncles by marriage included Gaspard Chaussegros De Lery and General William Johnstone.
