Notes: Our Edwin Hughes should NOT be confused with the one below having similar age:
(1) 1880 Census Grant township, Norton County, KS (Edwin (53 of Can.) and wife Mary (51 of England) with son Charles A. Hughes age 16 of Iowa).  Their son Edgar Pearson Hughes living 3 houses away.
(2) 1885 Census Grant township, Norton County, KS (Edwin (58 of Can.) and wife Mary (55 of England) with son Charles A. Hughes).  Edwin Hughes homesteaded NW4 Sec15 T3 R.21 and later sold it to Jessie Tinker of Richarson, NE in 23-Feb-1893.  States Edwin and family migrated from Iowa to Kansas in mid 1870's.
(3) 1870 Census Prairie township, Mahaska Count, IA (sp. Hughs ....  Edward (43 of Can.) and wife Mary (41 of England) with children: John W., Charlotte, Edgar and Charles Hughes.
NOTES(2): 1860 Census New York Ward 9 District 1, New York County, NY (img 12) shows an Edwin Hughes (age 23 born 1828 England) as a Gun Smith which is same occupation our Edwin had in 1870 Census.  Is this our Edwin?
NOTES(3):  Fellow researcher Karin went to Morris Hill Cemetery and talked with the folks there.  This is all that they had: Edwin died July 18,1899 of typhoid pneumonia; he was a Civil War veteran; his occupation was listed as laborer. Mary died Dec. 8, 1896. There were no funeral homes listed for either of them, nor any other information.
