John Hughes (businessman)
John James Hughes (1814 – June 1889) was a Welsh engineer, businessman and founder of the city of Donetsk. The city was originally named Yuzovka or Hughesovka (''Юзовка'') after Hughes, ("Yuz" being a Russian and Ukrainian approximation of Hughes) but was renamed Stalino in 1924 (in 1961 the name was changed again, to Donetsk).〔
==Biography==
Hughes was born in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, where his father was head engineer at the Cyfarthfa Ironworks. It was there that Hughes started his career, under his father's supervision.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Hughes )〕
He then moved to Ebbw Vale, before joining the Uskside Foundry in Newport, Monmouthshire, in the 1840s. It was here than Hughes made his reputation and fortune, patenting a number of inventions in armaments and armour plating.〔 The resultant revenues allowed him to acquire a shipyard aged 28, and by the age of 36 he owned a foundry in Newport. It was also during this time that he married Elizabeth Lewis, and had eight children: six boys and two girls, all born in Newport.
