Notes for Christopher Hussey
Plumstead to Clear Creek - A History of the Family of Samuel Carey, compiled by Ruth (Carey) Haines, Rt#1, Waynesville, OH 45068, 1969, contains a nine page history of the Hussey family from John of Dorking to this Christopher. There is a three page history of Christopher.
He lived in York County until about 1805 when he moved to Mount Pleasant, OH. He didn't fare well there and was drafted into the army a few days after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent. He was also in the War of 1812.
The Magazine of Western History speaks of Christopher and Lydia Grubb Hussey:
They were both endowed with many high qualities. The father had a splendid physical development, was tall and erect in stature, and of commanding appearance. The mental and moral character of his inward life was of the finest mold, and fulfilled every outward promise. To the logical mind and bright intellect of the mother were added force and energy, which was regulated by gentleness, amiability and the highest moral principles. The children could desire no better inheritance than the sweet and nobel qualities of mind and person of their loved and honored parents.
Source for all children's names, births, and marriages is also from the Carey text.
