    Death date on headstone is Sep 18 1889, with age 35y 7m 8d, which calculates to a birth date of Feb-10-1854. But death record shows death date as Oct 19 1889, with age 35y 9m 19d, which calculates to a birth date of Dec-30-1853. Husband's obituary (West Union Record, Aug 20 1931) states that she died on Nov 30 1889, .

    Notes:

    Doddridge County Birth Records 2-332 show a Maudie Gay Thomas born to H. W. and Lucretia Thomas on Apr 3 1888. Father's occupation is listed as farmer. The records also show a Rosa Alice Thomas born to K. W. (sic) Thomas and Lucretia Britton Thomas on Apr 16 1888. Father was 40 years old, born in Monongalia County, and his occupation was carpenter. Mother's age was 30, and she was listed as born in Doddridge County. As no subsequent mention of the second child has been found, it is assumed to have been a clerical error.

    Notes:

    Samuel Husk predeceased his father, Frederick, who had died prior to June 1848. Since Elizabeth appeared in the 1830 Census as the head of family, we must assume that Samuel had already died by then.

    1820 Census, Greene County, Pennsylvania (Whiteley Township), enumerated on Aug 7 1820:
    Household of: Samuel Hush [Husk]
    1 male, age 45 and over

    1 female, age under 10
    Total under age 16: 4
    Total over age 25: 3
    Total Free White Persons: 7

    1830 Census, Western District of Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia):
    Household of: Elizabeth Husk:
    1 female, age 60-69 (is this Elizabeth's mother or mother-in-law ?)
    1 female, 40-49 (this would be Elizabeth herself)
    2 females, 5-9 (daughters Mary & Elizabeth)

    1 male, 20-30 (son Frederick)
    2 males, 15-20 (son Samuel, and another son ?)
    (Note: If ages are correct, son Isaac is not accounted for in this census.)

    The next-listed household is for Harvey Husk, with the following members:
    1 male, age 20-30
    3 males, under 5
    1 female, 20-30
    1 female, under 5

    We have not been able to determine how this Harvey Husk fits in with the other Husks of this genealogy. Could he be the "other son" in the 1830 Census?

    Notes:

    "Frederick Husk (or Hust) apparently settled near the mouth of Dolls Run [in what is now the north central part of West Virginia]. In some old deeds, that stream is called Hust's Run, but the family long ago passed out of the community, and even the name applied to the stream did not stick. The last property passed out of the hands of the family on June 6, 1846, when Elizabeth Husk, widow of Samuel Husk, and the other heirs, Frederick Husk and Nancy his wife, Isaac Husk and Jane his wife, George Britton and Mary his wife, Samuel Husk and Dorcas his wife, Horatio Britton and Elizabeth his wife, transferred 100 acres to Solomon Bowers." ["Chronicles of Core," 3rd Edition, by Earl L. Core, McClain Printing Company, Parsons, WV, 1975, p. 35]

    A handwritten copy of a land grant, which is to Frederick Husk, October 9, 1781:
    "The Commissioners for Adjusting the Claims to Unpatented Lands and the Corporation of Monongalia, Yohagania of Ohio:
    We hereby certify that Frederick Husk is entitled to two hundred acres of land in Monongalia County on Dunkards' Creek adjoining lands claimed by Michal Core to include is improvements made in the year 1770.
    Given under our hands this 6th day of March in the 6th Year of the Commonwealth.
    John Evans James Neal Charles Martin William Haymond Simon Troy
    This certificate cannot be entered with the surveyor after the 26th day of October 1791.
    Attested: John Hayle. Entered 9 October 1781."
    [The Monongalia Story, Vol I, by Earl L. Core, McClain Printing Co, pp. 57, 159]

    On Mar 14 1796, Frederick Husk was a member of the jury of inquest (the first meeting of the court after the records were burned that year). [The Monongalia Story, Vol. II, p. 256]

    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 Pa.
    m. Louisa Wharton
    Children by first wife:
    2. William Johnson Husk, b. 1859 in Monongalia Co, (W)Va.
    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, Edgar Leo, Dwight Lovell, Amma Lotus, Dewey Liston, Hazel L, Herbert Leslie, Omer Russel, Virginia Pearl, Chloe Frances.
    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.
