Notes for John Ii Hussey
According to Plumstead to Clear Creek, in 1684 John with John Richardson, Edward blake, and Benjamin Swett and other Friends settled near New Castle, Delaware. In 1705 he purchased a lot of land for the meeting house.

PLACES OF SETTLEMENT
page 121
In 1684, “John Hussey, John Richardson, Edward Blake, Benjamin Swett and other Friends, being settled in and near New Castle, held meetings at each other's houses.... In 1705 a lot of ground was purchased, and a meeting-house built.”6 Very few Irish Friends settled here. [p.121] The meeting was discontinued in 1758, its members attending Wilmington Meeting.


Kennett (PA) Monthly Meeting: 2- 3-1703 John Hussey and Ann Inskeep announce marriage intentions 2nd time.
Here is a message I copied from Linda Koehler on Prodigy on 9/27/94: Suzanne, This won't help you with Betty, but I do have an extract of the deed in which your John Hussey (son of John & Ann (Inskeep) Hussey) sold the land he had inherited from his father in 1733. I don't know if you have this already, but I will give the details in case you don't: New Castle County, Del. Deed Book K:353-354, dated 8 May 1735. John Hussey, yeoman of New Castle County and Margaret his wife sell to Stephen Lewis, tanner of the town of New Castle 110 acres of land and marsh, part of a larger tract commonly called John Hussey's Plantation in New Castle Hundred for 80 pounds. The deed gives the bounds which include the line of neighbor John Morton, John McComb, an old Dyke, along Nonesuch Creek, "Miln" Island in a marsh, and along Christiana Creek. John and Margaret Hussey appoint Benjamin Swett, tanner of the town of New Castle to acknowledge the deed in open court, which was done in the May term 1735. Witnesses were Sylvanus Hussey and Hannah Cox, John and Margaret both signed the deed with signatures. I believe that the Stephen Lewis who is buying the land is married to Rebeccah Hussey, daughter of Jedediah & Esther (Cooper) Hussey, and thus a cousin to John Hussey. Stephen Lewis had already acquired, 6 months earlier, the estate of his deceased father-in-law Jedediah Hussey [his brother-in-law Sylvanus Hussey who had inherited the land sold it to Stephen Lewis, and that deed gives a glimpse of another interesting story]. So by 1735, Stephen Lewis owns about 300 acres of the original 640 acre plantation that John & Rebecca (Perkins) Hussey had bought when they came to New Castle County in 1695. I don't know what or where John & Margaret Hussey went after 1735, do you? I had heard that they lived in Chester County for a time before they moved out to York County where most of John's brothers and sisters had gone. But I find it suggestive that John & Margeret are selling their land in New Castle County in 1735, when John's brother Nathan Hussey was also selling off many of his land holdings to move out beyond the Susquehanna River to what became York county. Just to follow that 110 acre tract of land that John & Margaret Hussey sold to Stephen Lewis, it was sold in 1748 by the administrators of Stephen Lewis's estate. Now, the administrators were Josiah Lewis and Rebecca, widow of Stephen Lewis who had by now remarried - to Benjamin Swett. I find this intriguing - this Benjamin Swett could be a grandson of the Benjamin Swett who married Theodate Hussey; in which case, it looks like Rebecca has married a first cousin once removed - although the ages probably work since Theodate Hussey was 18 years older than her brother Jedediah Hussey.

Notes for Ann (Spouse 1)
Roy, I have a little information on the Hussey's, Inskeeps and Richard Nixon. I descend from the Inskeep family and through them I'm a distant cousin of Richard Nixon. John Inskeep came with his wife Mary and children to America in 1702, also John's sister Ann came at that time as well. Ann married John Hussey, they announced their intent to marry on March 6, 1703 at Newwark Monthly Meeting. There was an article that appeared in the Moorefield (West Viriginia) Examiner sometime in the early part of this century which included a letter from John and Ann Inskeeps sister, Isabell Jones, in London.

I have a brother deceased in Staffordshire whos name was Jonothan Inskeep, who has left a wife and four children, the oldest of which his name is John Inskeep.

This is the whole act of our family in England who are in good health at present, some of my children are grown to maturity and have a great inclination to see their relations in that part of the world if they could have the pleasure of hearing form them, thefore it would be a great satisfaction to recieve an answer from some of you, you signified in your letter to my brother James Inskeep your desire of corresponding with the family, which I hope you will take hold of all opportunity to do-me and my husband and children and all our relations joins in love to you-from your affectionate and loving Aunt.
