Author Information

William James Hughan (1841-1911). Masonic author and scholar, Bro. Hughan is perhaps best known for his revised edi-tion of Mackey's Encyclopedia and his many papers published in Ars Quatuor Coronatorum. William Hughan was baptised in Kirkmabreck Parish on 14 August, 1806, the second son born to Samuel Hughan and Mary McKie. Like his brother Peter, William grew up on the Hughan farm at Balhasie, near Creetown, and then moved down into England as a young man. The brothers moved to Stonehouse, in Devon-shire, where they were both drapers. Samuel moved back to Scotland several years after the death of his father in 1835, and resumed farming. William, however, remained in Stonehouse, where he married and raised a family. William Hughan married Margaret Chisholm in 1838, and their first child, Samuel Chisholm Hughan, was born the fol-lowing year in 1839. Another son, William James Hughan, followed in February of 1841, then Peter in 1844 and Mary Jessie in 1848.
