    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.

  1. 8.  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.
