****************************************************************************

Pursuant to a letter from John Robinson, secretary of the Treasury, December 8, 1773, customs officials in England and Scotland supplied lists of persons who took passage on ships leaving Great Britain during the years 1773-1776, giving names, ages, quality, occupation, employment, former residence, reasons for emigrating, and the name of the vessel and master. These records, somewhat incomplete as now preserved in the Public Record Office of Great Britain under the classification Treasury Class 47, Bundles 9-12, contain many thousands of names and important information on a remarkable 'population movement which was of great significance to America and of arresting attention to the landed and manufacturing interests and the government of Great Britain They have been printed in part in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (1908- 1911).

The largest group consisted of indented servants bound for New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia and the next largest, of emigrants sailing from ports in northern England to Nova Scotia, Virginia, and New York. The emigration practically ceased after September, 1775. the movement from Scotland was due chiefly to the oppressive rent policy of the Highland proprietors and middlemen of the region extending from Ayr County to the Shetland Islands. A traveler on an emigrant ship in 1774 wrote: "It is needless to make any comment on the conduct of our Highland and Island proprietors. It is self evident what. consequences must be produced in time from such numbers of subjects being driven from the country." Should levies be again necessary,. the recruiting drum may long be at a loss to procure such soldiers as are now aboard this vessel."

Just about 1847/48, Albert Huskey and his family migrated to Gilmer County, Georgia near Copperhill Tennessee. James Ownby and his family, and Jacob Evans and his wife joined them. They appeared in the 1850 Federal Census of Gilmer County, Georgia.

It is believed that Albert Huskey and his family migrated again to Missouri after the 1850 Federal Census was taken. It is believed that Albert and his wife, Jane Reagan, are buried in the state of Missouri or Arkansas.

Isaac Huskey went with his parents to Wilkes County, Georgia and later to Ninety Six District, Edgefield County, South Carolina.

Isaac Huskey and his wife Jane Miller are listed in the 1790 Federal Census of Edgefield County, South Carolina.

On 5 Dec 1796 Isaac Huskey bought 257 acres of land from the state of South Carolina. It was located in the "District of Ninety Six in Edgefield County on the waters of Steven's Creek, waters of Savannah River." It joined the lands of Obediah Henerson, William Anderson, William Rowens and ________ Mundays.

On 27 July 1798 Isaac Huskey bought 100 acres of land from Moses Brafford of Edgefield District, South Carolina. This land was situated on "Rockey Creek, waters of Savannah River" and joined the lands of Jonathan Huskey, Joseph Able, and Wyatt Morris.

On 6 Dec 1798 Isaac Huskey sold 140 acres of the original 257 acres of land, which he received from the state of South Carolina in 1796, to James Smith of Edgefield District, South Carolina.

On 15 Nov 1800 Isaac Huskey sold 50 acres of land to Wyatt Morris. This land joined the lands of Peter Huskey, Wyatt Morris, and Jonathan Huskey.

No record of the remaining 167 acres has been found, but it is believed that Isaac Huskey sold this land before leaving in 1804. In 1804 he came with the Huskey and the Ogle clans from Edgefield District, South Carolina To settle in the Walden's Creek and Wear's Valley area of Sevier County, Tennessee.

There are numerous land grants for Isaac Huskey in Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville, Tennessee.

One early grant was surveyed 24 July 1806 and granted 12 June 1810:
"...a certain tract or parcel of land containing Twenty five acres and two
Roods lying in the County of Sevier in the District South of French Broad
and Holsont on the water of the west fork of Little Pigeon River there being
due and chargeable on said land the sum of Twenty five Dollars and fifty
Cents with the Interest due thereon."

It joined vacant land and Richard McBryant's land in the Wear's Valley of Sevier County, Tennessee.

Isaac Huskey made seven land entries dated from 1 May 1824 through 3 Apr 1835 in the Surveyor's Book N. 1 of Sevier County, Tennessee (Register of Deeds Office). These land entries by Isaac Huskey were located in the area where the Twins Creek picnic area is now, and a part of the Cherokee Orchard and the Sugarlands (all now a part of Great Smoky Mountains National Park). This was the homeplace where Isaac and his wife Jane Miller lived until their death.

In 1813 Isaac Huskey and his eldest son, James Huskey, signed a petition to the General Assemby of Tennessee from the French Broad and Holston Country. (The original petition is in Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville, TN.)

Isaac Huskey and his wife, Jane Miller, appeared in the 1830 and 1840 Federal Census of Sevier County, Tennessee.

From the GUARDIANS, EXECUTORS & ADMINISTRATORS Settlement Book for Sevier County, Tennessee, there is a record of settlement of the estate of Isaac Huskey. Evidently William Huskey was appointed as administrator by County Court in late 1840's. He continued to handle the affairs of his father's estate until 28 Feb 1860, last recorded entry before William Huskey's death in 1861. From the aforesaid book, there is a list of the heirs of Isaac Huskey who had not received their shares from the estate. They are listed in this order: "Peter Huskey's Share, James Huskey's Share, Isaac Huskey's Share, Joshua Reagan's Share, and Silas Huskey's Share." They were living out west (Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas) at that time.

Albert Huskey came with his parents from South Carolina to Sevier County, Tennessee as a small boy in 1805.

Albert Huskey and his brother, John Huskey, had one land entry made jointly on 11 Dec 1826 in the Surveyor's Book No. 1 of Sevier County, Tennessee. This land (25 acres) was located in the Sugarlands, part of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Albert Huskey has another land entry dated 25 Dec 1832 in the Surveyor's Book No. 1 of Sevier County, Tennessee. This land (50 acres) was also located in the Sugarlands, part of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. These two land entries were granted by the state of Tennessee.

They lived in the Sugarlands area and the Mill Creek area. They appeared in the 1830 Federal Census of Sevier County, Tennessee.

In 1834, Albert Huskey and his family migrated to Madison County, Missouri to join the families of Joshua Reagan and Timothy Reagan Jr.

In the Madison County, Missouri Deed Book 6, page 292/93, there is recorded a deed for land sold by Albert Huskey and his wife, Jane Huskey..."This indenture made and executed this 12th day of March 1836 between Albert Huskey and Jane Huskey, his wife, Madison County, Missouri and Benjamin Heltebrand...S.E. 1/4 of N.W. 1/4 Section 21, Township 33 N, Range 8 East...40 acres. Albert Huskey entered at the land office at Jackson, Missouri on the 10th of November 1834 as appears by the duplicate no. 1951." It was signed by Albert Huskey and his wife, Jane Huskey.

For some reason, Albert Huskey and his family came back to Sevier County, Tennessee prior to 1839. In 1839, Albert joined the White Oak Flats Baptist Church "by experience". They also appeared in the 1840 Federal Census of Sevier County, Tennessee. In 1845, they were again in Sevier County, Tennessee probably because of illness and death in his and his wife's families. Julia Ann Shutz Reagan, mother of Jane, died in April of 1845. Isaac Huskey Sr. died sometime in 1846.

On Oct 1846, Albert Huskey and his wife received their letter of dismissal from the White Oak Flats Baptist Church.

Just about 1847/48, Albert Huskey and his family migrated to Gilmer County, Georgia near Copperhill Tennessee. James Ownby and his family, and Jacob Evans and his wife joined them. They appeared in the 1850 Federal Census of Gilmer County, Georgia.

It is believed that Albert Huskey and his family migrated again to Missouri after the 1850 Federal Census was taken. It is believed that Albert and his wife, Jane Reagan, are buried in the state of Missouri or Arkansas.

 But...after all of this we can't get to my Grandpa Benjamin .. I have a plan though!

Cherokee Bloods in HUSKEYS of SEVIER COUNTY, TN

  Found the following posted at   http://cherokeestar.yolasite.com/sevier-huskeys.php

 Still currently working to find more documentations to prove the family tradition(s) in Huskeys of Sevier County, Tennessee that they are "Kin" to Cherokee Indians. Also I have recently discovered the Cherokee Indian records at U. S. Archives in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas that Huskeys in Sevier County, Tennessee in 1896 have filed to apply for an citizenship in Cherokee Indians Nation. All citizenship application papers by various Huskey families, various Whaley families, and Ogle families of Sevier County, Tennessee have been rejected by Dawes Commission in late 1890's for unknown reason. But sworn statements in the citizenship application papers have strongly supported and verified the family traditions in the Huskey family history that I am currently updating. The Huskeys, Whaleys and Ogles who filed for the citizenship in Cherokee Indians Nation are children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of pioneer settlers who came to White Oak Flats (now Gatlinburg, Tennessee), Sevier County, Tennessee in early 1800's from Edgefield County, 96th District, South Carolina.

I am inclined to believe that PETER HUSKEY Sr. was truly an Scotch-Irish man and an Indian trader with Cherokee Indians Nation in 18th Century (1700's). Was his wife an "one-half Cherokee Indians by Blood"? If so, then I would like to have a record about it. This PETER HUSKEY Sr. and his family were living in Frederick County, Virginia and Rowan County, North Carolina during that time.

The children of PETER HUSKEY Sr. were, indeed, "one-fourth Cherokee Indian by Blood" per sworn statements in citizenship application papers.

For the family history on the children of PETER HUSKEY Sr., it can be located in two genealogical publications, SMOKY MOUNTAIN CLANS, Volume 1, Revised Edition, and THE BOOK OF RAGAN/REAGAN.

Will appreciate in hearing about this "interesting" Cherokee Indians ancestry in the Huskey, Whaley, and Ogle families of Sevier County, Tennessee.

 The Reagan name appears on a tree that I have. From Jay Webb I think.  This is the last line from that tree:

Jane Reagan daughter of ( Richard Reagn and Julia Ann Schultz) married Albert Huskey ......

William"Billy" Ogle and Martha Jane Huskey

   

William Was born in New Castle Delaware and was moving his family from Edgefield South Carolina to Sevier County Tennessee when he died in 1803 and his wife Martha and his children finished this journey becoming one of the founding families of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Their cabin still stands today as a historic memorial to this Family.
