John Hughes

John Hughes came to Brassy Green from the church at Wrexham in 1775. While at Brassy Green he also ministered to the small congregation of Baptists in Chester, where William Hartley was supplying in 1779. He suffered a stroke in 1777 and never regained his health, dying in 1783 at the age of 38.  During his illness the church suffered considerably.  See Margaret F. Thomas, Brassey Green & Tarporley:  A Baptist History (n.p., 1984), 8.
