Event Notes
Note (1) 1850 Census states birthplace as Pennsylvania.
Note (2) Son George Washington Husk's death record identifies his father's birthplace
as Pennsylvania, and daughter Martha's death record states father's birthplace
as Greene Co, PA. But 1850 Census of Greene Co, Pa. gives his birthplace as
Virginia, while all other family members are shown as being born in
Pennsylvania. The 1900 Census of Doddridge County states his birth date as
March 1819.
Note (3) or Pennsylvania, per 1880 Census
