Herman Husbands ,Quaker,and Swede,Isaac Cox,were schoolmates in Cecil Co,Md abt [?] 1730's. Husbands went to Baltimore Co,and on to w NC, where he was a leader in the anti-government tax Regulator movement. When the Regulators were defeated by pro-government militia at Alamance ,NC in 1771, Herman Husbands,Quaker,was sentanced to death, and fled north to Isaac Cox's beaver trapping cabin near Somerset-town,Pa. The other defeated Regulators were forced to givein 1771,an oath to King George III-an oath many honored in 1776. Few places had the bitter brother-vs brother Whig vs Loyalist warfare as the Regulator area. In part,the Boone-Bryan settlement on NC's Yadkin River. 1776-1779, when defeated Loyalists were foced into Whig militia,or maimed. Anyway,Herman Husbands kept a diary that survivied til the 1876 era county histories were written. And there quoted. Husbands said ,writing from to be Col Isaac Cox's beaver trapping cabin near Somerset,Pa,in 1772, that Cox thought the new county of Bedford Co,Pa would bring more people,and ruining hunting and trapping,so,he moved west to the Ohio River. My colony,ex Westminster,Md folks, followed from Stoystown,Pa in 1773. Herman Husbands was counted in the 1772 tax list of Brother's Valley,Bedford Co,Pa by the alias of Toescape Death ! ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
