    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.

  1. 4.  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.
