The Husseys moved to Hampton, Norfolk, Massachusetts (now Rockingham County, New Hampshire). There, the Husseys were fined in 1663 and 1664 for not attending church meetings and in 1668 for working on a fast day (these were Puritan observances, not Quaker). In 1670, John was again fined for not attending meetings and for using reproachful speeches against Mr. Cotton and his doctrine. John was appointed a Representative in 1692 but refused to take the oath of office (taking oaths being against Quaker tenets) and was refused the office.

In 1671, John's father gave his Nantucket lands to John and his brother Stephen but John later sold his interest in the island to Stephen. In 1688, the family moved to Newcastle, Newcastle, Delaware, where, according to Savage, John was a preacher to the Quakers. In 1696, he served as a Representative, being being required to make an oath in his new home. John also owned a plantation named Nonesuch, was a yeoman, and was appointed a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1696 (Quakers there were not required to take an oath of office.)

_______________________________________________________________________________

In 1705 New Castle Meeting constructed a meetinghouse in the town of
New Castle on land donated by John Hussey, Sr. The Meeting was apparently
a stable institution until the mid 1730s. At that time some of its more distant members found it convenient to join with the new worship group that was being formed at Hockessin, while others were attracted to the new Meeting in nearby Wilmington. Also, a large contingent of the Hussey and Garretson families was migrating to York County in Pennsylvania, where they helped organize Newberry Meeting as a subordinate Meeting of Warrington Monthly Me e t i ng http://nc-chap.org/church/quaker/standingDH3crop.pdf

This is the beginning of Christopher
Hussey, son of John Hussey and
grandson of John Hussey Previously this individual was considered to be Christopher Hussey, son of Bachelor Hussey and grandson of Stephen Hussey

"Christopher Hussey, late of Hockessin and Ann Garretson, late of the same place" were married 5th, 9th month, 1736, according to records of Warrington Monthly Meeting in York County, Pennsylvania where they subsequently located. Christopher Hussey was married 4th, 9th month, 1736 to Ann Garretson, daughter of Casparus Garretson and Ann Cox Garretson "of New Castle County, Delaware," according to another source.

Her family was Dutch and had lived in New Amsterdam and Delaware since 1658. Ann Garretson Hussey was born in Hockessin in 1715. Her father, Casparus Garretson, was born in 1676 in New Castle County and was married in 1713 to Ann Cox daughter of John Cox and Rachel Cox. "Casparus Garretson, yeoman, Christiana Creek Hundred," wrote his will 3rd, 12th month, 1726, and it was probated 6th, 2nd month, 1726-27, acccording to New Castle County Miscellaneous File 1. The will mentioned "wife, Ann; eldest son, John; son, Joseph and daughters [unnamed]. Ann Cox Garretson was named executrix, according to "Calendar of Delaware Wills."

Christopher Hussey and Ann Garretson Hussey may have been attracted to Warrington, Pennsylvania by letters from cousins who had preceded them to the Quaker community. Warrington Monthly Meeting had been established in 1730 and many of the early meetings were held in the home of William Garretson, according to "Inventory of Church Archives" published by the Society of Friends.

When the Quaker church was split in 1827 the membership of Warrington Monthly Meeting largely went with the Hicksite faction who retained control of the meetinghouse and the cemetery. Minutes of the men's meetings, minutes of the women's meetings, register of births, deaths, marriages and certificates of removal of Warrington Monthly Meeting have been transferred to the Quaker Archives in the vault of Baltimore Yearly Meetinghouse, Park Avenue Laurens Street, Baltimore, Maryland. These records when researched might give valuable data about the Hussey Quakers.

Christopher Hussey and Ann Garretson Hussey first became affiliated with Sadsbury Monthly Meeting, probably in York County, Pennsylvania in 1738. Minutes of Sadsbury Monthly Meeting reproduced in "The Immigration of Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania," reveal:

"Third month, 7, 1739. Divers families of Friends have settled of late on the west side of Susqwehanna. Some of them have produced certificates to this Meeting--Sadsbury--from Kenit Meeting [Kennett Monthly Meeting, Chester County, Pennsylvania] where they formerly dwelt, there being four mentioned in one certificate bearing date of 2nd month, 10th, 1738, viz: Nathan Hussey and Ann, his wife; John Garretson and Content, his [second] wife; Christopher Hussey and Ann, his wife; John Day and Ann, his wife. All which this meeting receives in Membership with us."

Christopher Hussey was appointed overseer of Warrington Monthly Meeting in the place of William Garretson. Approval of his appointment was dated 16th, 5th month, 1748 in Warrington Monthly Meeting minutes. He was a witness at the wedding of Nathan Hussey and Susannah Heald at Newberry, Pennsylvania 26th, 2nd month, 1749. Christopher Hussey was succeeded as overseer by Robert Comer 20th, 11th month, 1749. Later Christopher Hussey was reappointed overseer. Christopher Hussey and Ann Garretson Hussey were witnesses at the wedding of Record Hussey and Miriam Harrey at Warrington June 9, 1756.

A notation in the Warrington minutes on July 21, 1759 reads: "Christopher Hussey and Joseph Comer about to remove with their families to North Carolina, request our certificates." Ann Garretson Hussey and Elizabeth Hussey Comer made requests for certificates at the same time. Their certificates were granted August 11, 1759, and Christopher Hussey was succeeded by William Nevit as overseer on that date.

They were caught up in the Quaker migration to the Piedmont section of North Carolina. Quakers had begun settling in North Carolina by 1720, according to "I Have Called You Friends" by Francis C. Anscombe. Most of them found themselves in Orange County when it was created in 1752. A record book preserved in the Quaker Archives states that the emigrants came from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia by way of Cape Fear River and founded a meeting for worship in 1727. The beautiful land on which they located embraces the present counties of Orange, Chatham and Guilford, North Carolina. The preserved records of the Quaker community begin October 7, 1751. Laura D. Worth, a Nantucket Quaker emigrant descendant, restored the first minute book of "Cane Creek Monthly Meeting, Volume I, 1751-96" to preserve it for the church archives. More than half of the records contained pertain to reception of members, marriages and disownments. Much data on the Hussey family could possibly be located by an inspection of this volume. The William C. Folger genealogical records housed by Nantucket Historical Society has many unpublished records of Hussey families in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Indiana. An inspection of these manuscripts might reveal more about the Hussey family in this period.

Additional Friends in the next few years arrived in North Carolina from Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New England, Ireland and England. Names of 200 persons of 48 families are known. The ministers who were active in this period included Thomas I. Dixon and Jeremiah S. Cox. Jeremiah S. Cox later became one of the founders of Richmond, Indiana. Following the establishment of Cane Creek Monthly Meeting October 7, 1751 a wave of migration from Pennsylvania began in 1754 and continued until about 1770.

Nantucket Island contributed a large number of emigrants to Cane Creek Monthly Meeting. At that time over two-thirds of the island's population were Quakers, and seeking to escape the coming war with England and the depredations that would come to the island in its exposed location, many of them removed to the Cane Creek area. No less than 43 Nantucket certificates were received by New Garden Monthly Meeting alone. The list included families named Barnard, Barney, Beard, Bunker, Clasby, Coffin, Coggeshall, Davis, Dixon, Gardner, Gifford, Macy, Ray, Reece, Russell, Stanton, Starbuck, Swain, Sweet, Way, Wickersham and Worth. After the Revolutionary War began it was extremely difficult for the Nantucket Quakers to migrate to North Carolina, so only 13 such certificates were received from Nantucket in North Carolina between 1783 and 1800.

Among the English emigrants to Cane Creek was Simon Dixon, a son of Thomas Dixon of England. He was a millwright who brought a large family. Cane Creek was the bivouac of the troops of Charles Lord Cornwallis after the Battle of Guilford Courthouse March 15, 1781. The English helped themselves to hundreds of head of livestock and other provisions while encamped there. Cane Creek received a second name, "Snow Camp," as the result of a heavy snowstorm that occured while the British were encamped there.

The family of Christopher Hussey was "received on certificate" May 7, 1760, according to the records of Cane Creek Monthly Meeting. He was received back at Warrington Monthly Meeting October 1, 1763 on a certificate from Cane Creek Monthly Meeting apparently to dispose of property there. Peter Cleaver and William Underwood were appointed to "endorse the certificate with a few lines for his return to that meeting," according to the minutes of Warrington Monthly Meeting.

The road court of Orange County, North Carolina in its session of August 1764 ordered that "Christopher Husay, Stephen Husay, Samuel Cox, Thomas Cox, John Cox, Jr. and Solomon Cox meet and layout a road from the south side of Deep River to Rowan County line to cross creek." Christopher Hussey was named overseer on the section "to the county line of Rowan and to Richland Creek."

Christopher Hussey recorded his cattle brand and his "ear mark" in August 1765, according to "Court of Pleas Quarter Sessions, Orange County, North Carolina" by Ruth Herndon Shields.

Christopher Hussey wrote his will April 1, 1773, after his area of Orange County had been set off to create Guilford County. The will read:

Witnessed by: Christopher Hussey" William Wireman Samuel Penrose (his mark) Mary Penrose ..(her mark)

"Guilford County, North Carolina Will Abstracts" by Irene B. Webster show "Samuel Hendrix and Mary Hendrix, witnesses."

Probate was recorded by the court in May 1774 with the following:

"North Carolina Guilford County, May Court, 1774

"Then the written will of Christopher Hussey was proved in Open Court by the oath of William Wireman on motion, ordered to be recorded. [two illegible words] Stephen Hussey, Solomon Cox Joseph Comer who was by Said Testator appointed his Executors agreeable to law." Test L. W. Henderson, CC"

Robert Hodgins mentioned in the will is believed to be son of Robert Hodgins and Theodate Hussey Seal Hodgins. Theirs was the first wedding recorded at Newberry Monthly Meeting 29th, 5th month, 1740. Theodate Hussey Seal was the widow of Joseph Seal, and the wedding was performed at the home of John Day, her brother-in-law.

William Wierman and Samuel Penrose are believed to have been brothers-in-law to Christopher Hussey. The Wierman family and the Penrose family were closely associated with the Hussey and Cox families in Pennsylvania.

Some of the intermarriages of these families were presented in "Thomas Wolfe's Quaker Connections" by William Perry Johnson which was published in "North Carolina Quarterly," December 1955. Portions of the article read:

"Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938) was born October 3, 1900 at Asheville, North Carolina, the son of William Oliver Wolfe and Julia Elizabeth Westall Wolfe. In 1920 he received an A.B. degree from the University of North Carolina and an A.M. degree from Harvard University in 1922.

Although Wolfe's own religious affiliation was Presbyterian, he had some Quaker ancestry and numerous Quaker connections. His paternal grandmother was Elenor Jane Heikes (d1912, age 97), a daughter of Emanuel Heikes and Sarah Wierman Heikes. Two hundred years ago the Wiermans were a Quaker family in what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania.

The immigrant ancestor, William Wierman, a blue dyer by occupation, was a native of Germany, according to tradition and removed to Holland where he was married to Gertrude Seitman and soon thereafter sailed for America. The fact that this couple possessed a family bible printed in Dutch is strong evidence that at least one of them was a native of Holland. As early as 1717 William and Gertrude Wierman were living at Germantown, Pennsylvania, and were probably members of the Mennonite church. In 1723 the family removed to the Mennonite settlement on Skippack Creek in present Montgomery County, Pennsylvania where William Wierman purchased 57 acres of land and engaged in farming as well as his original occupation of blue dyer. He purchased 187 acres more in 1729, adjoining the oldest of the Mennonite meetinghouses. In 1737 William Wierman and family settled on Bermudian Creek, Huntington Township, Lancaster, (later York, now Adams County) Pennsylvania, and it was apparently about this time that they joined the Quakers. William Wierman died, testate, in 1765. The inventory of his estate suggests that he owned and operated a store; his real estate amounted to over 1,000 acres.

William and Gertrude Wierman had six children: Henry, born 10th, 8th month (October) 1721, married first to Priscilla Pope and second to Elizabeth Ross; Nicholas, married 1745 to Sarah Cox; Hannah, married 1747 to Samuel Cox; William, married 1753 to Naomi "Amy" Cox; Gertrude married first in 1754 to Samuel Wright and second to a man named Ferguson; and John married Mary Morrow. Henry Wierman was a farmer, and Nicholas was a miller. Some of these children and several of the grandchildren settled in North Carolina.

John Wierman, son of Henry Wierman and Priscilla Pope Wierman, remained in Pennsylvania and became a judge. He married Ruth Cox, daughter of William Cox and Naomi Garretson Cox. Sarah Wierman (1785-1858), daughter of Henry Wierman and his second wife, Elizabeth Ross Wierman, was the great-grandmother of Thomas Wolfe.

Mary Wierman, daughter of Henry Wierman and Priscilla Pope Wierman, married Jesse Cook, and their son, Henry Cook, was the maternal great-grandfather of Albert Cook Myers (born 1874), noted historian and genealogist of Moylan, Pennsylvania. Myers is best known for his "The Immigration of the Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania, 1682-1750.

Another Wierman descendant who made a name for himself in the literary world was Leroy Scott. He was born May 14, 1875 in Grant County, Indiana, son of Eli J. Scott and Eleanor Reeder Scott; died July 2, 1929 in New York state. His wife, whom he married June 24, 1904, was Miriam Finn, daughter of Moses Finn and Gittel Seletchnick Finn, born August 9, 1882 in Russia.

Leroy Scott's maternal grandmother was Gulielma Cox (married Spencer Reeder), daughter of John William Cox and Lydia Littler Cox, Quakers of Randolph County, North Carolina. John William Cox was the son of Samuel Cox and Hannah Wierman Cox and a grandson of William Wierman and Gertrude Wierman of Pennsylvania.

Thus Judge John Wierman was a grandson of William Wierman and Gertrude Wierman; Henry Cook (great-grandfather of Albert Cook Myers), Harmon Wierman (son of Henry and grandson of Henry and Priscilla), Eleanor Jane Heikes Wolfe (grandmother of Thomas Wolfe) and Gulielma Cox Reeder (grandmother of Leroy Scott and great-great-grandmother of William Perry Johnson) were all great-grandchildren of William and Gertrude Wierman, Pennsylvania Quakers."

Albert Cook Myers in "Immigration of the Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania, 1682-1750" give additional insight into the Quaker community which met at Huntington Meetinghouse. He wrote that Huntington Meetinghouse was situated on a wooded ridge overlooking Bermudian Creek about nine miles southwest of Warrington, Huntington Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania.

Members of the congregation in 1745, according to Myers, included Joseph Cox, John Wierman, William Wierman, Martha Garretson, Naomi Cox Garretson, Hannah Cox Ann Hussey [probably Anna Hussey, Mary Garretson, Naomi Cox, Hannah Wierman, William and Gertrude Wierman, John Cox, William Cox, Samuel Cox and Ann Cox, Joseph Garretson, Henry Wierman and Benjamin Cox.

The first marriage at Huntington was that of Nicholas Wierman, son of William Wierman of Huntington to Sarah Cox, daughter of John Cox of the same place 24th, 8th month, 1745. The first meetings (unauthorized) were held in the home of John Cox where nearly all of the marriages were known to have occurred.

Rebecca Cox, daughter of Thomas Cox, was married to James Frazier 22nd, 8th month, 1740 at the home of William Garretson at Warrington. Witnesses include Joseph Garretson, Christopher Hussey, John Garretson, William Garretson, Ann Cox, Content Inskeep Garretson, Ann Cox Garretson, Thomas Cocks [Cox] Mary Cocks, Isaac Cox, John Cox and Nathan Hussey. Myers also reported that a meeting was held at the house of William Cox at Hackess (now Hockessin) New Castle County, Delaware in 1730.

Christopher Hussey died in 1774 in Guilford County, North Carolina, which was formed from Orange County in 1771. His will was probated there in that year.

Ann Garretson Hussey was granted a certificate by Cane Creek Monthly Meeting December 6, 1778 to Warrington Monthly Meeting [possibly for a visit]. She presented the certificate to Warrington Monthly Meeting March 13, 1779. She was a member of Huntington Monthly Meeting August 12, 1780 when she requested a certificate from Warrington Monthly Meeting to New Garden Monthly Meeting in North Carolina.

Ann Garretson Hussey appeared in the 1790 census of Chatham County, North Carolina which was formed from Orange County in 1771 in the Hillsborough District as the head of a household composed of "one white male over 16, four white males under 16 and four females," according to "Heads of Households, North Carolina, 1790," page 85. Ann Garretson Hussey died April 9, 1801.

Elizabeth G. Hussey born 6th, 9th month 1737 Stephen Hussey born 10th, 7th month 1739 Naomi "Amy" Hussey born 29th, 2nd month, 1742 Ann Hussey born 27th, 7th month, 1744 Thomas Hussey born about 1746 Christopher Hussey born 2nd, 7th month, 1756

Elizabeth G. Hussey, daughter of Christopher Hussey and Ann Garretson Hussey, was born in Warrington, Pennsylvania 6th, 9th month, 1737, according to minutes of Warrington Monthly Meeting. She was listed as the "eldest child" in "Cope's Abstracts" of the meeting's minutes. She declared a marriage intent October 21 and November 18, 1758 with Joseph Comer. They were married December 7, 1758. Joseph Comer was born 3rd, 2nd month, 1736 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, according to the research of Dorothy Clark Hickman, Hurley, New Mexico, a descendant. He was the son of Robert Comer and Rebecca Gregg Houghton Comer.

On July 21, 1759 Joseph Comer and Elizabeth G. Hussey Comer applied for a certificate to remove to North Carolina. Their certificate was granted August 11, 1759. Elizabeth G. Hussey Comer was mentioned in the will of her father written April 14, 1773.

Rebecca was the daughter of Isaac Perkins and Susannah = The Husseys were Quakers.  The Husseys moved to Hampton, Norfolk, Massachusetts (now Rockingham County, New Hampshire). There, the Husseys were fined in 1663 and 1664 for not attending church meetings and in 1668 for working on a fast day (these were Puritan observances, not Quaker). In 1670, John was again fined for not attending meetings and for =œusing reproachful speeches against Mr. Cotton and his doctrine=.

In 1696, he served as a Representative, being being required to make an oath in his new home.

Biography

John Hussey Sr was born to Christopher Hussey and Theodate Batchelder,and grandson of Stephen Batchelder, (a noted nonconformist preacher in early 17th century England, who was a refugee for a while in Holland because of religious views.) He married Rebecca Perkins. Five married daughters remained in New England but perhaps 10 of their other children arrived in New Castle with them in about 1695 from Hampton, New Hampshire, which probably made a big difference in the amount of churchmembers for the Quaker community. <ref>Quakers in Delaware in the Time of William Penn, by Herbert Standing, p. 137-138: http://nc-chap.org/church/quaker/standingDH3crop.pdf</ref> <ref>U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900</ref><ref>http://www.treetreetree.org.uk/BachilerTheodatedaughterStephen.htm#...</ref>

Named preventative 1692, he declined to take oath, but after removed to New Castle, del ware, where he bought in 1695, he served as representative 1696, the oath there unnecessary. In New Jersey he administered the estate of his mother-in-law, Susanna Perkins, as prime creditor , 1699." <ref> Genealogical Dictionary, Maine and New Hampshire, page 364.</ref>
