Hi all, HUSKEY WALKER HATCHER TROTTER MYERS - Sevier, Blount and maybe Jefferson Co. Tennessee. I have a possible gg grandfather whom might have been a WALKER but it's a great mystery here. I'm going to toss around some info I have and maybe, maybe someone out here can help me or just point me in the right direction as I do my own research and would never ask anyone to do it for me. I'm ready to start a writing campaign again, maybe this time if I try again, someone will help. Hettie Caroline HUSKEY my great grandmother, born 1889 Wears Valley, Sevier Co. TN. She died MARCH 27, 1989 and is buried in Wears Valley, Shiloh Cemetery. She was m. to my g-grandfather Andy MYERS. They once owned property later known as the Lil Ponderosa after Hettie sold the land. She had a sister named Ticy HUSKEY whom might be the one m. to John TROTTER. Ticy was born in 1884 Sevier. Both Hettie and Ticy's father is UNKNOWN to me but her mother did consort with a WALKER per family knowledge. No one will tell me anything about her father. Especially my fathers side though they don't know themselves they (meaning my father and his sisters) were not raised in Sevier as their father, my late grandfather left Sevier at a young age. His name was Ollie Jake "Big Chief" MYERS and though I only met him 1 time, well... I sure liked my materal grandfather better. There... LOL I said it. Ollie reportedly got a 1st cousin in trouble. Her name was Lela or Anna MARINE. That's all I know on that end. He went on to marry my paternal grandmother Sara GARRETT down in Hiawasee, Towns Co GA. Hettie had a 1/2 brother whom she was very close with. His name was Harve L. WALKER Sr. b 1884 d June 1969, Sevier, TN. I do know that there is a Harve Jr. and he works at a hardware store in either Sevierville or Pigeon Forge, Sevier Co TN and have spoke w/him by phone but have since lost his number. He remembered my great grandmother Hettie and said she and his father were very close. Harve L. might have had a brother named M. Wesley WALKER of Sevier m. to a Rachel EMERT. It is unknown to me who Harve L. SR. married but I have children: Harve L. Jr., Bob, Ted and a Jim WALKER. Maybe they're all alive still and would like to contact them as maybe they can tell me who Hettie and Ticy's father was. Sevierville Records only have Martha HUSKEY recorded as marrying John Frank WALKER buried at Headricks Cemetery in Sevier. Parents were William Marion WALKER and Nancy Louise CAYLOR <--- maybe. Paper trail thins out from Sevier's 2 fires in 1850's. I am also told that Hettie worked cleaning a bank somewhere in Sevierville or Pigeon Forge. Would like to know which town it was. I also understand that she and Andy went their separate ways twice and she lived in the Mill Creek area of TN. Hettie's mother was Elizabeth HUSKEY. Known as "Betty" by my family and I'll assume in Sevier County, TN. Betty, what it appears was never married but family seems to think she did marry Harve L.'s father whom appears to be John Frank WALKER. The only marriage license I can find has a Martha HUSKEY named on it. Elizabeth "Betty" HUSKEY was the dau of Lewis HUSKEY and Hulda T. HATCHER. Census shows they raised Hettie and her sister Ticy HUSKEY. What makes this such a mystery is that obviously Harve L. WALKER and Hettie HUSKEY were 1/2 brother/sister so different mother or father??? I assume father. Then who was Hettie and Ticy's father....??? In a photo of Hettie as a child, she was very pretty with long dark hair and in my opinion she was a Native American blood as she's rather dark in this photo. I've even thought she had African American in her. There is a bit of a secret here and if she was black it's ok with me. I love all of my people and no barriers but would like to know where I come from and who I am. About 3 years ago a black WALKER researcher contacted me and made mention that we appeared to have the same lineage but she scoffed it off mentioning because I was white and she was black. My computer crashed and I lost her email address and totally forgot her name but she was a WALKER or aligned with the from Blount and or Sevier Co. TN. if she's out here on the WALKER or TN SEVIER board, maybe she'll remember me. And yes, please write me. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Chrystie, ROOTSWEB LIST ADMIN.
