    3. Hi Lloyd, I don't have any other information about relatives predating James M. Huskey. My father was Norvel L. Reece, born Aug. 30, 1912 in Pevely MO to Mabel (or Mable Huskey)--actually she was called "Mae" all of her life--(daughter of James M. Huskey and Elizabeth Wilson Huskey) and William Thomas"Tom" Reece(son of Logan Reece and Ellie Janes). I was told that G.Grandma Wilson's maiden name was "Clark", and she and G. Grandpa Wilson were from the British Isles. The only other info I have concerns the rest of Grandma's siblings-- Uncle Clarence (Jack) and Aunt Alberta (originally Roberta, but changed her name--also had the nickname "Carrie") were born sometime between 1900 and 1910. I'm finding that the Huskeys followed the common trend of the time in naming their children after relatives, and that the large families of early Jefferson County tended to intermarry further complicating research. Also, many individuals chose to go by middle names or nicknames, rather than their given first names. Being new to genealogy research, I sometimes find these to be frustrating, but common obstacles in the process of discovery. Please let me know if you happen upon any additional Huskey/Wilson info. Also, if you come across any data on William Thomas Reece, Logan Reece or Ellie Janes I would appreciate it very much . Thanks, Nova
