little has been found regarding Ammi Almanzia Brown and wife Almira

or where they were married or when they moved to
Circumstances

If
Almira died in about 1888, as is likely based on son Addison's twice testifying
as much, there is evidence that Ammi twice remarried. The first re-marriage was confirmed by the
discovery of an item in the Tacoma Daily News of Sep 10 1894, which reported
that Ammi A. Brown had filed for divorce from Deborah S. Brown on the grounds
of desertion after only three days of marriage.
A news item in the Nov 12 1894 issue of that newspaper stated in its
entirety "Armi [sic] A. Brown has been divorced from Deborah S.
Brown." Just over three years
later, Ammi's marital status was listed as married on his Feb 1898 application
to the Washington Soldiers Home. But on
his March 1899 application to the Soldiers Home, his entry for marital status
was "She has left me, I do not know where she is." Correspondence from fourth wife Rachel A.
Brown, and others, found in his Soldiers Home file shows that Ammi and Rachel
were married on Jun 27 1895 in
Addison
Avery Brown always gave his parents' names as Ammi Almanzia Brown and Almira
Saunders (or Sanders), and official records support that. But
Addison's
birth certificate, which was not registered until 1943 when he was a longtime
resident of Doddridge County, WV, identified his father as Ammi Almanzia Brown,
age 54 at the time of Addison's 1881 birth, born in Massachusetts, occupation
carpenter; and his mother as Almira Saunders Brown, age 39 at time of Addison's
birth, born in New York. Information
supporting the delayed filing was provided in affidavit by Edith Maria Weeden,

Although relationships are not stated, it would appear that the elder Ammi is the father of the younger, who in turn is the father of Edwin. Based on the earlier census, Edwin's mother was Deborah, not Almira. No entry for this Edwin Brown was found in any subsequent census.

The
1880 Census of Minnesota lists in Aldrich Twp, Wadena Co, Albert A. Brown, age
40, carpenter, born in New York; and Almira Brown, age 35, his wife, born in
New York, her father born in Connecticut, and her mother born in New York. Despite the discrepancies, the possibility
cannot be discounted that this is the couple in question. The same Census shows Charles W. Brown, age
35, born in
The 1885 Census of Minnesota lists in Aldrich Twp, Wadena County, A. A. Brown, age 53, born in Massachusetts; Almira Brown, age 41, born in New York; and Addison (misspelled Adison), age 3, born in Minnesota.
Minnesota Land Records, Document 16156, St. Cloud Land Office, on file at U.S. Bureau of Land Management, show that Ammi A. Brown purchased 80 acres of land on Dec 16 1890, with the following legal description: Aliquot Parts S1/2SE, Base Line 5TH PM, Fractional Section No, Township 134 N, Range 34 W, Section # 4.
In "The Famous & Not So Famous," published by the Verndale Historical Society in 1987, it is noted that the relationship between the many Brown families who settled there has not been entirely determined. Of the many pages devoted to settlers of the Brown surname, only the following three entries appear regarding this one: (1) "Architect and Builder. I am prepared to take contracts for erecting buildings of all kinds. Plans and specifications furnished on short notice. Stair building a specialty." [Wadena County Tribune, Dec 5 1878, attributed to A. A. Brown] (2) "A. A. Brown has erected a barn near Verndale." [Verndale Journal, Dec 26 1879] (3) "The A. A. Brown Furniture, 1882, is mentioned in 'Bartlett Township History,' Volume I." It is noted that there were apparently two A. A. Browns, Ammi Almanzia and Albert A., who were carpenters and residing in Verndale at that time.
Based
strictly on the two Censuses and on son Addison's birth certificate, Ammi would
have been born either ca 1840, ca 1832 (most likely), or ca 1827; but entries
on his applications to the Washington Soldiers' Home consistently and
specifically state his birth date as Sep 13 1829. Ammi Almanzia Brown was thought by family
lore to have died at age 74 of apoplexy, although son Addison, born in 1881,
recalled that he was about 18 at the time of his father's death, which would
have been shortly after Ammi's last admission to the Washington Soldiers' Home
in Orting, Pierce Co, WA in 1899.

Wilson, 20, b. in NY, mother of one child (still living); Howard Wilson, 1, b. in Washington.
9. Almira
Sanders, b. ca 1843 in
Addison Avery Brown always gave his mother's name as Almira Saunders and stated that she was one-half American Indian. Almira's birth was in New York sometime between 1840 and 1844, based on the following: Age 9 at 1850 Census would put it in about 1841, age 20 at 1860 Census would put it in about 1840, age 41 at 1885 Census would put it in about 1844, and Addison's birth certificate gives her age at his birth as 39, putting her birth in about 1842. But with her sister Mary's birth date confirmed in both the 1900 Census and her death record as Feb 1842, and with Almira appearing in the 1850 Census one year younger than Mary, Almira's birth date is more likely to be about 1843.
Almira was with her parents and siblings in the 1850 and 1860 censuses of Norwich, Chenango Co, NY, and she was with husband Ammi (and his father and son from a previous marriage) in the 1870 Census of Guilford, Chenango Co, NY.
Almira was not found in the Census of 1880. That year's census of Wadena County, Minnesota, lists an Almira as the wife of Albert A. Brown, giving her age as 35 (b. ca 1845) and reports her father's birthplace as Connecticut, and her mother's as New York. Despite the similarities in names and locations, this does not appear to be the same couple.
The 1885 Minnesota Census places her in the household of A. A. Brown with son Addison, identifies her as Almira and gives her age as 41 (b. ca 1844), birthplace New York.
No entry for her was found in the 1900 or subsequent censuses.
In an
affidavit filed by son Addison in 1935 to establish his date of birth, he
stated that his mother had died when he was about age six. This would put her death in about 1887 or
1888. In 1915, in an application for
membership in the Modern Woodmen of America, a fraternal beneficiary society,

Other than her birthplace and approximate birth date from the 1850 Census, we have found no information regarding Annis, wife of Ammi T. Brown. The 1850 Census is the last record that we have of her. Her death was presumably between 1850 and 1870, since husband Ammi was found without her in the 1870 Census. No 1860 census record was found for either of them.
The name Annis is a medieval (both English and Scottish) form of Agnes much used by some colonial families. It is often misread as Annie, a diminutive not used as a formal name much before the nineteenth century.

Peter
B. Haught, presumably a descendant of Paul Haught of
According
to the 1948 W. B. Haught genealogy, Peter Haught I was born in
Peter Haught I had three brothers who also came to America: (1) Tobias Haught, who never married; (2) Henry Haught, who had sons John, Nicholas and Peter, the latter killed at Fort Meigs on Feb 23, 1813; and (3) Paul Haught, who is thought to be the ancestor of the Peter B. Haught (1809-1883) of this genealogy.
Paul
Haught came to Statler's Run in 1776 and marked a settlement right on a tract
of land near the location of his nephew, Peter Haught II, and Richard
Tennant. There is no evidence of Paul's
return to this settlement right, but two of his sons, John and Jacob, came and
claimed the land as heirs of Paul Haught, and had it surveyed on April 6,
1785. Their patent on this tract of 324
acres is dated Oct 25, 1792. On April 4,
1800, they sold 169 acres of the tract to Peter Tennant (son-in-law of Peter
Haught I), and on Oct 8, 1804, they sold the remaining 155 acres to Samuel
Varner. John Haught and his wife
Catherine acknowledged the deed in
Adding
to the confusion of the many Peter Haughts in that region at that time is this
entry from "Chronicles of Core," p. 5: "Certificates granted by the commissioners
for adjusting the claims to unpatented lands on the westernwaters for the
county of Monongalia in February, March and April 1781 include the following
.... Peter Haught, Senior, 400 acres on
Statlers Run, adjoining lands of Henry Smith, to include his improvement made
in 1776." Core also makes reference
(p. 6) to Richard Tennant, "the ancestor of a very large and important
family still living in Monongalia country, came from

In
1846 the Gaston brothers succeeded in having a Methodist Protestant minister
come into the new settlement and preach at Eli's home. Arrangements were made for regular services,
and the people built a log house for school and church services. The new house was named Harmony because of
the fine spirit of harmony and cooperation among the people composing the new
settlement. In 1866 the old log house
was replaced by a neat frame building which served the congregation until 1901,
when a large modern house of worship was built.
The Reverend Mortimer Ireland (b. 8/8/1835) was pastor at that
time. Charter members included Eli

There has been much confusion over the birth date of Samuel A. McNemar. His headstone reads Dec 30 1830. A delayed birth record for son Joseph, submitted by daughter Margaret Martin on Feb 24 1953, gives Samuel's age at Joseph's Nov 1878 birth as 48, making Samuel's birth Dec 1829. Samuel's age at death of 87y1m19d reported by the doctor puts his birth at Dec 31 1828, while age at death of 89 reported by the undertaker puts it in about 1826/27. Age 21 given at marriage puts birth about 1837, while age 26 in 1860 Census makes it about 1834.

Rufus
Brown left no will. The only record
found of his death is his headstone, the weathered inscription on which is
reported by Findagrave.com as "In memory of RUFUS BROWN, who died July 6th
1832, aged 66 years." But there appears
to be an error in the transcription of the badly worn marker. Given his documented Aug 1771 birth date, it
is almost certain that either his age was other than 66, or that his death date
was other than 1832, probably the latter.
If his age was in fact 66, his death date was probably 1838, or possibly
1839. Support for this conclusion, as
well as a record of his children's names, is found in Grantor Record Book 65,

No record of the parentage or other information of Susana Jett has been found.
In Book 2, p. 388, of Harrison County Marriage Bonds is a record of a bond of $150 being paid by Hugh Gaston and James Coberly (spelling may be Cubberly) in connection with the marriage of Hugh Gaston and "Susana Jett of full age." It is unknown what relationship existed between James Coberly and Susana Jett; we have found only that a James Coberly (b. 1779) and wife Letitia "Tisha" Jett (b. 1783) were residents of Harrison/Gilmer Co in that time period.
A W. Guy Tetrick family information survey completed by great-grandson Ira Dow Gaston in 1931stated that his grandparents were Hugh Gaston, born 1788, died July 5 1888, and Susana Jett, born "unknown," daughter of "unknown," they were married in 1811, and she died May 1 1849. The reported death date is considered suspect,, since husband Hugh Gaston is known to have remarried on June 1 1848.

This is a genealogy of the descendants of this Frederick Husk (or Hust, or Hurst), with particular emphasis on those branches of the family tree closest to the principal compilers, Samuel David Gaston and Geneva Gaston Brown. The information presented here was obtained from countless sources over many years of research. Wherever possible, the original source is documented, but the reader can rest assured that even when a source is not specified, the compilers were highly confident of the accuracy of the information before including it in this collection.
Though not proven, the following Husk family is probably connected to the Husk lineage which is the focus of this genealogy. They are more fully described at http://www.doddridgecountyroots.com/bk6html/f20121.html :
1. Isaac Husk, b. ca 1838 in Pennsylvania, 1850 & 1860 Census in Monongalia Co, 1870 & 1880 Census in Washington Co Pa.
m. Elizabeth Johnson, b. ca 1837 in
m. Louisa Wharton
Children by first wife:

William Johnson Husk, b. 1859 in Monongalia Co, (W)
m. Ida Roberta McIntyre in 1885 in Tyler Co WVa, b. 1867 in Tyler Co, d. 1936 in Tyler Co.
They had 12 children: Ethel Leora, Nancy Louisa, William Luther,

If any reader of this genealogy knows how this Husk family is connected to our primary Husk lineage, please let us know.
Despite extensive research in more recent years, nothing about the ancestors of the elder Frederick Husk (or Hust, or Hurst) has been discovered. Information on the earliest of his descendants has also been very hard to come by. However, this genealogy is, and always will be, a work in progress, and additional information regarding the early generations, as well as the current one, will be added as it becomes known. In that vein, readers of this collection are invited to inform us of any errors or additional information for future updates.

The
Fundamental Agreement of the first settlers of Newark, New Jersey, was signed
by a Daniel Tichenor, While improbable
that the signer was this Daniel Tichenor since was only eleven years old at the
time, it is still a possibility. The
Fundamental Agreement (which provided that only members of the established
church would be "admitted freemen or free Burgesses) did not have the
force of law, and there is no good reason that a minor could not have signed
such a symbolic document. No Daniel

(John) Gaston, b. ca 1600 in
Jean
(John) Gaston of France was the first known ancestor of our Gaston family. There has been much speculation regarding his
ancestry, ranging from descendancy from the Grand Duke of Tuscany to the
possibility that he belonged to the Bourbon family and was a cousin to King
Louis XIV of
"That
the Gaston family was a French family there is no doubt. As early as 1445, 'two gentlemen' of the name
of Gaston, living at or near LaMothe St. Didier, became interested in what were
believed to be wonderful cures wrought at the shrine of St. Andrew in that
town, especially because one of these Gaston sons was there cured of the
disease known as 'St. Anthony's Fire.'
In consequence, they devoted their property to the work, and, seven
other persons assisting, built a large hospital. The hospitallers soon founded the
'Congregation of Regular Canons of the Order of Anthony,' and one of the
Gastons was made Grand Master of the Order.

Literature" (1894), Vol. I, p. 252).

An excellent resource pertaining to Gaston origins and related information is the website Planet Gaston, found at http://gaston.siteperso.net/ . Some Gaston researchers have attempted to show tenuous royal connections and paint a romanticized picture of the family history, and it is therefore likely that some embellishment of the facts has occurred over the years. A highly informative treatment of the facts and myths of the Gaston legend can be found at http://home.mindspring.com/~bgaston2/_images/Gaston_Legend.pdf .

This is a genealogy of the descendants of this Jean (John) Gaston, with particular emphasis on those branches of the family tree closest to the principal compilers, Samuel David Gaston and Geneva Gaston Brown. The information presented here was obtained from countless sources over many years of research. Wherever possible, the original source is documented, but the reader can rest assured that even when a source is not specified, the compilers were highly confident of the accuracy of the information before including it in this genealogy. By its very nature, this collection is a work in progress, and additional information regarding the early generations, as well as the current one, will be added as it becomes known. In that vein, the reader is invited to inform us of any errors or additional information for future updates.

Some researchers identify Agnes as possibly the daughter of Phillip of Navarre, and it is also said that she was accused of witchcraft in 1650 [per "Surnames of Scotland" by George F. Black]. But other researchers have convincingly refuted those assertions, and have further cast doubt that the wife of Jean Gaston was named Agnes at all. Although we side more with the skeptics, we nonetheless report Jean Gaston's wife as Agnes simply out of tradition.[328],295

else be burned at the stake or escape to another country. The Jews who joined
the Catholic Church were called "conversos." Many of these conversos remained secret Jews
and were called "marranos," literally "pigs" in
Spanish. Jacob De Louzada was probably
such a secret Jew, since he and Rachel remarried in a Synagogue when they had
