Notes for Curtis Grubb (Spouse 1)
Sometime about 1820 Curtis and his brother John, along with their father went out into the wilderness about a hundred miles west of Mount Pleasant on the Cronotton River. The went out and began the labor of clearing up the land. Two years, maybe three, were spend by them at the work, living in a log cabin and doing their own cooking. They had gotton things in fair shape to take the family out and occupy their own home.
At this juncture Friends interfered, claiming it was not right to take the family into the backwoods, beyond the reach of the society, and especially a great injustice to the daughters. The opposition prevailed and the move was abandoned. They continued in the same vicinity until about 1831, when they moved into Mount Pleasant, where the parents lived the remainder of their days.
The large descendant chart provided to me by Dorothy Carter in July 1992 traces this Hussey line for another five generations, well into the mid-twentieth century. Unfortunately, there is no narrative with it, only names, births, and deaths.
Source for his children and their spouses is LDS microfilm 1561672.
