I have been leaving messages all over the Web in an attempt to track down details about these people! When my Dad died 5 years ago, I promised I'd keep on looking and thanks to you his dream of finding out something about his father's family has come true, at least for me! All he ever had were the facts I posted in my original message. Every bit of information you posted is new to us, and if you have more (e.g. James M. Hussey's parents, Mary's mother's name, whether they were related to the New England Quaker Husseys, etc.) I would be thrilled to have it! Allen Hussey apparently considered himself a "prodigal son" and kept details of his family of origin a secret, aside from a few names. A year ago I found a marriage record (1870, Shelby County) on the Web for a James M. Hussey and Mary M. Stephenson, but I had no way of verifying if they were really my great-grandparents. The juxtaposition of the two names and the location int! rigued me, however, and lo and behold it appears I was on to something! If you'd rather correspond via email, you can write to me directly at [email protected], or if you think this information would be valuable to others, please post here. I am eternally grateful for what you have provided so far! And my Dad would be, too.
