Rebecca Hughes GGG Grandma through Payne line

 







Rebecca Hughes is an awesome woman of Faith.  I didn't find her testimony of the gospel per-say, but I did find this 1st person tale of her pov of polygamy.



The life of a young girl in those days was quite a problem,

for she not only had the young men courting her, but the middle aged, and the old.

I became so bewildered that I made it a matter of prayer and fasting, and was shown

in a dream the man that was to become my husband . You girls would think you lived

in a funny household to have a husband 19 years older than you, and his first wife

9 years older than your husband, but we were a happy household.

Elizabeth and Lottie were almost like sisters to me, and we had good times together,

they were telegraph operators, and bought nice materials for us all. There were

never two women who got along better than we. When I became pregnant with my fifth

child, Aunt Charlotte, who had four children at that time said, “0h Rebecca, you

are getting ahead of me” .  I put my arms around her and saidCharlotte , they are

as much yours as mine , we all belong to the same man.She gave me a squeeze and

said, That is right we all belong to the same man."
