Nathan Hussey

Hockessin Meeting were held in 1730. After the death of Casparius Garretson, Ann (Cox) Garretson married Nathan Hussey, son of John Hussey, Jr. Thus the Garretson and Hussey families became much intertwined. http://nc-chap.org/church/quaker/standingDH3crop.pdf _____________________ After Nathan’s father died, two of his minor siblings were living with him as were his wife’s minor children. This extended family then moved out to the frontier to what later became York County, PA. On a visit home to New Castle, , Nathan’s brother Christopher and sister Content married Ann’s children John and Ann Garretson in a double ceremony. All children were minors at the time of the marriage and all had been living together as brothers and sisters for several years prior to the marriages although there was no blood relationship. Christopher and Ann (Garretson) Hussey’s daughter Naomi then married back into her mother’s Cox family. Most members of the family migrated to North Carolina around 1750, many moved on to Ohio.

York Meeting Deed Book CC, page 153, Recorder's Office, York. The following Friends subscribed to a paper, dated 1 Mo. 1, 1766, contributing to the building fund: Nathan Hussey, William Willis, Joseph Updegraff, Joseph Garretson, William Matthews, Harman Updegraff, Jesse Falkner, James Love, John Collins, and Joseph Collins. At Western Quarterly Meeting, 8 Mo. 11, 1767, report was made that “Friends in and about York have now built a Meeting-House.”

The Friends were among the earliest settlers at York, the county-seat of York County, but a meeting seems not to have been held there until 1754. Under date of 12 Mo. 21st of that year, Warrington Monthly Meeting minutes state: “Our Friends in and about York, living remote from any of our meetings, Requests the liberty of holding a meeting among themselves for this winter season, which this meeting has good unity with.” A regular meeting was established in 1764, and on October 29th of the following year a lot of ground on the north side of Philadelphia [p.177] Street was purchased from Nathan Hussey and Edith his wife.1 Upon this lot a brick meetinghouse was erected in 1766.2 By will, dated 1 Mo. 25, 1773, Nathan Hussey bequeathed to the Meeting a lot adjoining on the west. About 1786 the meeting-house was enlarged to its present proportions, an addition being made to the west end. The Society in the city is now almost extinct and regular meetings have been discontinued.

___________ York Meeting The Friends were among the earliest settlers at York, the county-seat of York County, but a meeting seems not to have been held there until 1754. Under date of 12 Mo. 21st of that year, Warrington Monthly Meeting minutes state: "Our Friends in and about York, living remote from any of our meetings. Requests the liberty of holding a meeting among themselves for this winter season, which this meeting has good unity with." A regular meeting was established in 1764, and on October 29th of the following year a lot of ground on the north side of Philadelphia Street was purchased from Nathan Hussey and Edith his wife.110 Upon this lot a brick meeting-house was erected in 1766.111 By will, dated 1 Mo. 25. 1773, Nathan Hussey bequeathed to the Meeting a lot adjoining on the west. About 1786 the meeting-house was enlarged to its present proportions, an addition being made to the west end. The Society in the city is now almost extinct and regular meetings have been discontinued.

The minutes of Newark or Kennett Monthly Meeting indicate that these certificates were dated on the first days of the months mentioned. The first Quaker wedding in what is now York County was that of Rodert Hodgin, carpenter, of Manchester, later Newberry Township, who was married 5 Mo. 29, 1740, at the house of John Day, in said township, to Theodate Seal, widow of Joseph Seal, The following list of witnesses to the marriage certificate is of interest as showing who were the settlers at that date : Rebecca Bennett James Clemson Robert Hodgin Hannah Fincher Francis ffincher her Mary Cocks Rebecca Cocks Theodate X Hodgin Joseph Bennett James Alison Junr mark Ester Davis Wm Garretson Anne Hussey Anne Garratson Joseph Garretson Nathan Hussey Martha Garratson Wm Griffith John Hussey Sarah McAnabley James Moore Christopher Hussey Elizabeth price Thomas Riley Content Garretson Margrett Carson Caisia Belley Ann Day

At Warrington Monthly Meeting, 5 Mo., 21, 1840, "Newberry Friends inform they have enclosed a graveyard at Newberry meeting-house; they propose closing the former one [in Newberrytown] it being full." This is a substantial structure of stone, similar in appearance to the old meeting-house at Warrington, and is now occupied as a dwelling, but there has been no material change in its exterior. At Warrington Quarterly Meeting, 8 Mo., 26, 1793, in answer to the second annual query, report was made that "one new Meeting house [has been] built in the room of an old one at Newberry." At Warrington Monthly Meeting, 12 Mo., 19, 1810, "Newberry preparative meeting informs they have agreed to sell the land where the present meeting House is built and to purchase other in a more convenient and central place."

Egle's historical Notes and Queries, l10-113, annual volume for 1900, Harrisburg, Pa., 1901. It is probable that meetings were held in the vicinity of Warrington as early as 1740, for on the 22d of 8 Mo. of that year a marriage was held "at ye house of William Garretson," who resided in Warrington. This was the marriage of James Frazier to Rebecca Cox, daughter of Thomas Cox.
