Notes for John Hussey
In Ancestors and Descendants of of Jehu Cox, by Wayne D. Stout, Stout explains in 1745 in Warrington, York County, Pennsylvania, a live Quaker community, was the home of the Cox, Hussey, and Garretson families. These clans had stuck together for generations. Many inter-marriages had cemented the tribe into a solid unit. In about 1755 the three families moved to Cane Creek, Orange County, North Carolina, a distance of 300 miles. Cane Creek was a real Mecca for the Society of Friends. These Quakers hoped to establish a new Zion amongst the slave holders of the South. A Quaker Meeting was organized and a progressive community sprang into existence. Like the Mormons in Jackson County, the Quakers soon found themselves surrounded by intolerant neighbors. The slaveholders looked with suspicion on these strange people whose religion opposed slavery. Suspicion led to antagonism and conflicts. Finally, persecution became so violent the Quakers abandoned Cane Creek and settled in eastern Tennessee, Kentucky, and western Virginia.
However, from the Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, we know our line moved from the Cane Creek MM to the New Garden MM in 1772 where John died in 1781. His son Jediah moved the line to Back Creek MM, Randolph County, in 1796 It was his grandson Thomas (son of Jediah) who took our line from Randolph County, North Carolina, to the White Lick MM in Morgan County, Indiana, in 1832

LDS Microfilm 1561672 confirms the lineage from John HUSSEY of Dorking, England to the children of this union. This film is also the source of the spouses of most of these children.
The text contained on the microfilm is an oasis of information. The title is: Descendants of HUNT WOOLMAN BORTON BEALS MILLS HUSSEY JESSUP SMALL CHIPMAN SHIELDS by Edna Harvey Jospeh et al.
In July 1993 I found something very interesting about this John Hussey. He served as a private in the Revolutionary War. This seems totally inconsistent with his obvious status as a Quaker. This information is contained in The Roster of Texas Daughters Revolutionary Ancestors, 1976. I will quote the complete entry since I will use this information as the source for his birth and other information pertaining to the family.

Ruth Harmeier Earl, No. 439810.
The MEMBERS: entry indicates these three individuals have used this John Hussey as their patiot, justifying their acceptance into the Daughters of the American Revolution.
I personally am not comfortable with the location of John Hussey's birth indicated here. His parents were married at the Warrington MM in York County, Pennsylvania. Also, the Warrington Quakers arrived in Guilford County beginning in 1750. The Nantucket Quakers did not arrive until about 1771.
Notes for Mary (Spouse 1)
Source: The NC IGI list Mary Jessop and John Hussey as the parents of many of the same children that the New Garden (NC) Monthly Meeting list with parents of John and Mary Hussey. Therefore the name of Mary Jessop is confirmed.
Source: Vena Wilson (MF#0854151).
Mrs. Wilson uses Mary Jessop Hussey as the basis for DAR membership for Cynthia Ann Hunt Wilson. "The said Mary Jessup Hussey is the ancestor who assisted in establishing American independence, by furnishing supplies to the malitia of South Carolina, Virginia, and North Carolina. Reference: Military record Vol. A, p.282. Accounts of the U.S. with North Carolina War of the Revolution. This Vol. is in N. Car. Historical Commission, Raleigh, N.C."
Mrs. Wilson indicates this is a "supplimental line". She said you have the same Number that you received with your first D.A.R papers. Any other lines you may have are called supplimental. Apparently Cynthia Ann Hunt Willson's DAR Lineage papers trace through her father's family the Hunts. Her National Number D.A.R. number 270702.
