  • 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 male, age 26 thru 44
      3 males, age under 10
      1 female, age 26 thru 44
      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 female, under 5 (daughter Sarah)
      1 male, 15-19 (son Frederick)
      2 males, 10-14 (son Isaac, and another son ?)
      1 male, 5-9 (son Samuel)

      1840 Census, Western District of Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia):
      Household of Elizabeth Husk:
      1 female age 50-60 (this would be Elizabeth herself)
      1 female, 20-30 (dau Mary)
      1 female, 15-20 (dau Elizabeth)
      1 female, 10-15 (dau Sarah)
      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?
