Notes

John Huskey went with his parents to Wilkes County, Georgia, and later to Ninety Six District, Edgfield County, South Carolina.

John Huskey and his wife, Rachel, are listed in the 1800 Federal Census of Edgefield District, South Carolina. There were no children listed in the family.

In 1804 John Huskey and his family came with the Huskey and the Ogle clans from Edgefield District, South Carolina to settle in the Walden's Creek area of Sevier County, Tennessee.

Just before the War of 1812 broke out, John Huskey took his family to Union County, Illinois. They were probably among the first settlers of the town of Jonesboro, Illinois.

From 'Illinois Census Returns' by Margaret Cross Norton, John Huskey appeared in the 1818 and 1820 lists. Both lists revealed there was one white male - 21 years and upward, and five other white persons plus one servant or slave.

About 1826, John Huskey and his family migrated with his brother, Jonathan Huskey, to Jefferson County, Missouri.

Prior to 1830, John Huskey died. His wife, Rachel Huskey appeared as the head of household in the 1830 Federal Census of Jefferson County, Missouri. There were still four boys still at home.

It is believed that both he and his wife Rachel are buried in Jefferson County, Missouri.
