    "Surveyed 13' February 1826

    "Stephen Huskey)
    " & ) S.C.C "Guilford Cannon
    "Silas Huskey ) "D. S."

    The land was granted on 15 August, 1826 by the State of Tennessee.

    Joshua Ragan and his wife Jane Huskey Ragan were listed in the 1830 Sevier County, Tennessee Federal Census. There were three children in the family: two males and one female age five years and under. They were living in the Gatlinburg area at that time.

    In 1831, Joshua Reagan and his family migrated to Madison County, Missouri and made their home there until the "Fall of 1835". At that time the family moved to Macoupin County, Illinois. He worked for two months as a wood chopper and rail splitter in St. Clair County, Illinois in early 1836.

    In June of 1836 he and Jane moved with their children to Macoupin County, Illinois. He bought 40 acres of farm on Hodges Creek in Bird Township of Macoupin County, Illinois. He hastily constructed a log cabin for his family for the coming winter. He farmed here for five years.

    Joshua and Jane were listed in the 1840 Federal Census of Macoupin County, Illinois. They had eight children at that time in the household: two males age 10 and 15 years; and one female age 15 and 20 years.

    In 1841 Joshua sold this farm and went to North Palmyra Township in Macoupin County, Illinois. He rented a farm here for three years. Then in 1844 he bought eighty acres of land in the Barr Township of Macoupin County, Illinois. Here he, Jane, and their family resided for several years.

    Joshua and Jane appeared in the 1850 Federal Census of Macoupin County, Illinois. There were eight children at home. They were: John, age 23; Richard, age 21; Robert, age 19; Isaac H., age 17; James, age 13; Elizabeth J., age 11; Francis M., age 8; and Martha, age 5. Their eldest daughter, Catherine, was already married and lived nearby according to the census record.

    In September of 1856, Joshua and his wife Jane went with the part of their family to Phelps County, Missouri where Jane died.

    At the outbreak of the Civil War, he and a few of his children returned to Macoupin County, Illinois.

    In the 1870 Federal Census of Macoupin County, Illinois, Joshua was listed with his son, James Miller Ragan. They were living in Township 11, Range 8 there at that time.

    Joshua died at his farm in "Sowest Section 29, Township 11, Range 8".

    Joshua died intestate according to the existing Macoupin County, Illinois records. His son, Francis Marion Ragan, was appointed as administrator of his father's estate by the Court of Macoupin County, Illinois on 19 November 1874.

    A final settlement of the estate was ordered and made by the County Court on 1 January 1877. The names of Joshua and Jane Huskey Ragan's children are given in the intestate popers still in existence.

    In 1836, they moved and stayed a few months in St. Clair County, Illinois. Then in June of 1836 they bought a farm in Bird Township, Macoupin County, Illinois.

    Joshua married Jane Huskey Abt 1824, Sevier County, Tennessee. Jane (daughter of Isaac Huskey and Jane Miller) was born 1806, Sevier County, Tennessee; died Aug 1857, Phelps County, Missouri; was buried Huskey Cemetery, Cold Springs Township, Phelps County, Missouri. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Jane Huskey was born 1806, Sevier County, Tennessee (daughter of Isaac Huskey and Jane Miller); died Aug 1857, Phelps County, Missouri; was buried Huskey Cemetery, Cold Springs Township, Phelps County, Missouri.

    Notes:

    Jane Huskey was the first child to be born in Sevier County, Tennessee after the arrival of her parents from Edgfield County, South Carolina.

    In 1831, Josua Reagan and Jane, with their family, migrated to Madison County, Missouri and made their home there until the winter of 1835 and 1836. In 1836, they moved and stayed a few months in St. Clair County, Illinois. Then in June of 1836 they bought a land in Bird Township, Macoupin County, Illinois.

    Five years later, Joshua Reagan sold the farm which he first took and went to North Palmyra, still in Macoupin County, Illinois. He rented the land for three years and in 1844, he bought eighty acres of land in Barr Township, Macoupin County, Illinois. There he resided with his family until 1856 when they moved to Phelps County, Missouri.

    In Phelps County, Missouri, Joshua Reagan and his wife, Jane Huskey, lived until their deaths.

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Timothy ReaganTimothy Reagan was born 1750, Anne Arundel County, Maryland (son of Timothy Ragan and Rachael Nelson); died Abt 1825/1830; was buried White Oak Flats Cemetery, Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee.

    Notes:

    Timothy Ragan, grandson of Timothy Ragan - Colonial Ancestor was probably born in the Elk Ridge community. His parents have not been identified, but research on this continues.

    In his youth, he was probably taught to read and write by his mother, and was taught the art of farming and blacksmithing by his father. So this was one of his lifetime occupations. He was also a carpenter and as most men did in those days, he could do almost any chore needed in daily life.

    An early church census verifies their birth years. The census was taken in St. John and Prince George Parishes, Prince George County, Maryland on 31 31 August 1776 and listed; Timothy Ragan, age 26, and Elizabeth Ragan, age 16. No children were listed.

    Traditions say that Timothy had four brothers who all served in the Revolutionary War and afterward moved to Tennessee. Other Reagans found in that early period include: Jeremiah in Washington County, Daniel in Greene County, Charles in Blount County, and James in Sevier County and a James in Knox County. These men were all of an age to have been Timothy's brothers but no definite connection to any of them has been made.

    Timothy Reagan served in the Revolution with the Continental Troops of Maryland. He was seriously wounded at the Battle of Brandywine and again later in the war. Muster roll records found in the National Archives, Washington, D.C. Show that he served as private with Captain John Eccleston, in the 2nd Regiment of Maryland Troops, commanded by Colonel Thomas Price. The records also show that he was left at a hospital in Chester, Pennsylvania, on 12 September 1777, the day after the Battle of Brandywine. He was reported as still being in the hospital six months later. No records of a pension or bounty land grants were found.

    Timothy's name is found on the 1783 tax lists of Pittsylvania County, Virginia with five people in his family at that time. He does not appear on the tax lists for 1785.

    His name is found in Caswell County, North Carolina, in the January and April counts of 1786. There were then seven persons in his family: a male age 21-60, 3 males under 21 or over 60, and 3 females.

    Two grants of land, located in Caswell County, North Carolina, were recorded for Timothy Reagan. The first was issued in 1791 to Timothy Regan for 200 acres "on the waters of Fish Pond." Disposal of this land was recorded in
    Caswell County, North Carolina Deed Book 'H', pages 110/11. The deed says "THIS INDENTURE made the thirteenth day of October and in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety two Between Timothy Regan of the County of Caswell, North Carolina of the one part and Solomon Clark of the said County and State of the other part..." The second grant, dated 3 December 1795, was issued to Timothy Ragan and John Grant for 157 acres of land "on waters of Wolf Island." Records of disposal of this land have not been located yet but it is believed that Timothy moved to East Tennessee very soon after this date of 1795.

    No mention of his name has been found in early records of the counties of Washington, Sullivan, Hawkins, Greene, or Jefferson. He is said to have joined a group of pioneers who pushed farther into the Indians' lands and built the settlement around the Shield's Fort, later Lawson's Fort, in Sevier County Tennessee. The late Joe A. Sharp, County Historian, believed this fort was located on Middle Creek. The date was probably a little later than the
    settlement of Sevierville.

    The State of Tennessee began issuing land grants in 1806 and the earliest found for Timothy Reagan was surveyed in 1807. According to the State Archivist, both land grants still in existence for Timothy were for purchased land, not bounty land. The first grant was surveyed 26 February 1807 and was granted 22 May 1810:

    "... a certain tract or parcel of land containing fifty acres and one hundred and sixteen poles lying in the County of Sevier in the District South of French Broad and Holston on the waters of Middle Creek there being due and chargeable on said land the sum of fifty dollars and seventy-three cents with interest thereon..."

    This tract joined the lands of Jennett (Shields) Tipton, widow of Joshua Tipton and the land of John Marshall. The second grant was entered 13 May 1824 and granted on 6 August 1824. This land joined a corner of Nancy Robinson's land:

    "... or parcel of land containing twenty-five acres, lying in the County aforesaid. Beginning at a white oak on a line of said Reagan's old survey..."

    Since this tract joined the old survey it is believed that this is where Timothy lived until his death, or until he went to live with his son, Richard, who had settled in White Oak Flats now Gatlinburg.

    His great grandson, John H. Reagan, described Timothy as a tall, fine looking man, strong and having great vitality even in his older years. He was loved and respected by people and was fun-loving and witty. Being an Irishman, he enjoyed a practical joke now and then. A story handed down through the years tells that although he had built the stocks for the jail in Sevierville, he pretended that he did not know how they operated and persuaded the sheriff to sit in them to demonstrate for him. When the sheriff did he promptly locked them and enjoyed the fun at the sheriff's expense. (Wonder what happened when the sheriff did get out!)

    We don't know the exact date of Timothy or Elizabeth's death. That he was living in 1824 is indicated by the entry of the land record above. Neither of them appear on the 1830 census of Sevier County so it is assumed their deaths
    occurred before that date.

    Family traditions say that Timothy Reagan was buried in an unmarked grave at White Oak Flats Cemetery, Gatlinburg, Tennessee near where the first person buried, in the lower left hand corner of the old part of the cemetery, looking up the Graveyard hill from the gate.

    Timothy and Elizabeth Reagan had a large family, some say ten sons and one daughter. The North Carolina census indicates there were three females in the family in 1786 so there may have been more daughters in the family. Most of these children moved from Sevier County farther to the West and South. The oldest son, Richard, remained and was one of the first settlers of White Oak Flats, now Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

  3. 6.  Isaac HuskeyIsaac Huskey was born 29 Jan 1772, Rowan County, North Carolina (son of Peter Huskey and Mary "Mollie" Miller); died Jul 1846, Sevier County, Tennessee; was buried White Oak Flats Cemetery, Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee.

    Notes:

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

    Isaac Huskey and his wife Jane Miller are listed in the 1790 Federal Census of Edgefield County, South Carolina.

    On 5 Dec 1796 Isaac Huskey bought 257 acres of land from the state of South Carolina. It was located in the "District of Ninety Six in Edgefield County on the waters of Steven's Creek, waters of Savannah River." It joined the lands of Obediah Henerson, William Anderson, William Rowens and ________ Mundays.

    On 27 July 1798 Isaac Huskey bought 100 acres of land from Moses Brafford of Edgefield District, South Carolina. This land was situated on "Rockey Creek, waters of Savannah River" and joined the lands of Jonathan Huskey, Joseph Able, and Wyatt Morris.

    On 6 Dec 1798 Isaac Huskey sold 140 acres of the original 257 acres of land, which he received from the state of South Carolina in 1796, to James Smith of Edgefield District, South Carolina.

    On 15 Nov 1800 Isaac Huskey sold 50 acres of land to Wyatt Morris. This land joined the lands of Peter Huskey, Wyatt Morris, and Jonathan Huskey.

    No record of the remaining 167 acres has been found, but it is believed that Isaac Huskey sold this land before leaving in 1804. In 1804 he came with the Huskey and the Ogle clans from Edgefield District, South Carolina To settle in the Walden's Creek and Wear's Valley area of Sevier County, Tennessee.

    There are numerous land grants for Isaac Huskey in Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville, Tennessee.

    One early grant was surveyed 24 July 1806 and granted 12 June 1810:
    "...a certain tract or parcel of land containing Twenty five acres and two
    Roods lying in the County of Sevier in the District South of French Broad
    and Holsont on the water of the west fork of Little Pigeon River there being
    due and chargeable on said land the sum of Twenty five Dollars and fifty
    Cents with the Interest due thereon."

    It joined vacant land and Richard McBryant's land in the Wear's Valley of Sevier County, Tennessee.

    Isaac Huskey made seven land entries dated from 1 May 1824 through 3 Apr 1835 in the Surveyor's Book N. 1 of Sevier County, Tennessee (Register of Deeds Office). These land entries by Isaac Huskey were located in the area where the Twins Creek picnic area is now, and a part of the Cherokee Orchard and the Sugarlands (all now a part of Great Smoky Mountains National Park). This was the homeplace where Isaac and his wife Jane Miller lived until their death.

    In 1813 Isaac Huskey and his eldest son, James Huskey, signed a petition to the General Assemby of Tennessee from the French Broad and Holston Country. (The original petition is in Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville, TN.)

    Isaac Huskey and his wife, Jane Miller, appeared in the 1830 and 1840 Federal Census of Sevier County, Tennessee.

    From the GUARDIANS, EXECUTORS & ADMINISTRATORS Settlement Book for Sevier County, Tennessee, there is a record of settlement of the estate of Isaac Huskey. Evidently William Huskey was appointed as administrator by County Court in late 1840's. He continued to handle the affairs of his father's estate until 28 Feb 1860, last recorded entry before William Huskey's death in 1861. From the aforesaid book, there is a list of the heirs of Isaac Huskey who had not received their shares from the estate. They are listed in this order: "Peter Huskey's Share, James Huskey's Share, Isaac Huskey's Share, Joshua Reagan's Share, and Silas Huskey's Share." They were living out west (Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas) at that time.

    Clement Trigg Jr. made an entry for 1640 acres of land "on the waters of Fish Pond" in Caswell County, North Carolina on Monday, 1 February 1779. The State of North Carlina issued a warrant for the survey on the same tract of land to Mary Trigg, "behalf of Clement Trigg, dec'd" on Thursday, 21 October 1779.

The chain carriers for this warrant of survey were Richard Gibson and Timothy
    Ragan.

    Notes:

    Family tradition handed down for generations tells the story of Mary Ann Foreacres' near escape with a panther when she was a 12 year old girl. The story reads as follows:

    "When Mary Foreacres was about twelve years old, the lady with whom she lived sent her to the nearest neighbor's, a distance of about three miles. The road led through heavy timber and across a creek. As Mary was returning home, she heard the cry of a panther in the direction from which she was coming and seemingly on the road she had just passed over. Recognizing the sharp, shrill scream to be that of the beast she so much feared, she ran as fast as she could. The oft repeated cry, louder, showed that the panther was gaining on her. Seeing that it would be impossible for her to reach home before being overtaken by the animal, when she came to the creek she waded into the water and down the stream some distance to a tree which was near or in the edge of the water. She climbed the tree and sat in the thickest part of the boughs.

    Soon she saw the panther come down the road to the creek and cross over. Failing to find her trail on the other side of the creek, he searched in all directions, at the time uttering those fearful, piercing cries. Mary was so situated that she could see his every move. The wind was blowing down the stream and he failed to get the scent. Finally he gave up the search and wandered slowly up the valley, and when his cries were heard of safe distance, Mary climbed down the tree and went home."

    Mary Ann Foreacres Trigg-Hatsfield was listed as head of the household in the 1786 State Census of Caswell County, North Carolina. There were three sons and one daughter still at home. What had happened to Thomas Hatsfield is not known.

    January 1796 in Caswell District of Caswell County, North Carolina, William Trigg acted as the administrator of his mother's estate.

    The location of Mary Ann Foreacres' birth and marriage is not confirmed.

  5. 12.  Peter Huskey was born 10 Sep 1758, Wake County, North Carolina (son of John Frederick Huskey and Rebecca Washington); died 30 Mar 1818, Jefferson County, Missouri.

    Notes:

    Peter Huskey lived in the vicinity of Back Creek in Frederick County during the
    early 1750's thru mid-1750's. During that time, he was the chain carrier for
    four different land surveys there.

    Sometime during the mid-1750's, Peter Huskey and his family moved to Rowan
    County, North Carolina. They settled in the area where southern Guilford County
    and northern Randolph County are now located.

    He was found along with his son John Huskey on the "William Millikan's List of
    Taxables" for Rowan County, North Carolina in 1768.

    Family tradition says his first wife was killed by Indians. No information has
    been found to verify this.

    Peter Huskey Sr., was found on the 1778 tax list for Captain Cox's District in
    Rowan County, North Carolina. His land was valued at 142 pounds. His son
    Peter Huskey Jr. was listed on the same tax list, and his land was valued at
    202 pounds.

    On Saturday, 8 August 1778, Peter Huskey was listed as a "nonjuror" in Captain
    Cox's District of Rowan County, North Carolina. He refused to take the "Oath
    of Affirmation and Allegiance" to the State of North Carolina.

    In 1785 Peter Huskey and his family were living in Wilkes County, Georgia near
    his brother-in-law, William Ogle and his family according to "1785 Tax List of
    Wilkes County, Georgia." Six District, Edgefield County, South Carolina prior
    to 1790. Peter Huskey is listed as the head of household in 1790 and 1800
    Federal Census of Edgefield County, South Carolina.

    On 28 Oct 1797 Peter Huskey and his son Jonathan Huskey of Edgefield District,
    South Carolina bought 200 acres of land from William McCarter of Abbeville
    District, South Carolina. This land was originally patented to William
    McCarter on 6 Nov 1786 from the state of South Carolina. It was situated in
    the "District of Ninety Six and County of Edgefield on a creek called Rockey
    Creek waters of Stephens Creek." (Deed Book 22, p 265/66)

    On 6 July 1801 Peter Huskey bought 24.5 acres of land from the state of South
    Carolina. It was situated in "District of Edgefield on a small branch of
    Rockey Creek, waters of Stephen Creek and Savannah River." (South Carolina
    State Archives, Columbia, S. C. - State Plats Vol. 38 (2nd), p 359)

    On 30 Sep 1801 Peter Huskey bought 289 acres of land from William Brafford of
    Barnwell District, South Carolina. This land was on "Rockey Creek waters of
    Stephens Creek" in Edgefield District, South Carolina." (Deed Book 22,
    p 275/77)

    It is believed that Peter Huskey sold his lands before leaving for Sevier
    County, Tennessee in 1804. In 1805 Peter Huskey brought his married children
    (Isaac, Jonathan, John, Sarah, and two other daughters) with the Ogle clan from
    Edgefield District, South Carolina to settle in the Walden's Creek area of
    Sevier County, Tennessee.

    In 1805 Peter Huskey entered 57 acres of land in the Emert's Cove area of
    Sevier County, Tennessee and held it for a short time. From Tennessee State
    Library & Archives, Nashville, Tennessee, there is a land grant (No. 1815) for
    Frederick Emert, assignee of Peter Huskey. By this grant, Peter Huskey sold
    the 57 acres of land in the Emert's Cove area to Frederick Emert prior to the
    issuance of the land grant from the state of Tennessee in 1806.

    Prior to the War of 1812, Peter Huskey went with some of his married children
    to Union County, Illinois and then to Jefferson County, Missouri.

    Family tradition says Peter Huskey came back from the West (Union County,
    Illinois or Jefferson County, Missouri) and died in the White Oak Flats
    community. He probably died before 1830. He is not listed in the 1830 Federal
    Census of Tennessee, Illinois, or Missouri. No data on his burial place has
    been found.
