Re: HUGHEYS IN BOONE,CARROL CO ARK

leanne_ch — 2009-11-01 06:31:34Z

I am looking for a possible Henry and Melissa Wilson with a son named Jess or Jesse. I was told recently that Jess's real last name was Richardson. And that he had taken the Wilson name. Earlier in his life he said that his father's name was Billie (this could be a nickname) and Mary Golman and then it also said Fannie Gaulman. I know that Mary and Melissa is an interchanged name so I am wondering if Fannie could have also been a nickname. Seems your posting has many of the surnames that I am looking for. Does your Melissa have a last name.

Re: Hugheys from Illinois in early 1900's

Hi,

I am Elmer's grandson.

Birth: 4 Apr 1890
Metropolis, Illinois, USA
Death: May 1964
Detroit City, Wayne, Michigan

I can provide you with all of his children's names if you are interested.

My research has lead me to believe that Albina's maiden name is Conner. I haven't seen the actual document but ancestry.com has information about their marriage license in 1880. Her husband was Joseph P. Hughey. Family notes tell me the P stands for Plummer.

I'd love to know what information you have about this branch of th family as well.

Robert Hughey - Revolutionary War Soldier

permeliacaroline — 2009-04-25 01:36:19Z

I was at the DAR Library in Washington, DC earlier this week and found two DAR applications naming Robert Hughey as a Patriot.

The first one, dated 1911, was from Mrs. Leila Holley Henderson Waters who descended from Robert Hughey (m Mary Boyd) through through Joseph Hughey (m Hannah Noland). Her app shows Robert b about 1741 in New Londonderry, Ireland and d in SC before 1790.

The second one was from Mrs. Elizabeth McDonald Russell whose app also says she descended from Robert Hughey through Joseph Hughey (m Hannah Noland).

Robert Hughey was reported to be a soldier in the SC Continental line undr General Gates in the Battle of Camden.

I found an article (referenced in Mrs. Russell's app)in the South Carolina and Genealogical Magazine, 1906, showing where Robert Hughey was granted 200 acres of land for his service. James Timms was administrator of Robert Hughey, in trust.

I also found in the South Carolina DAR GRC report, sl v 176 where Robert Huey (also Hughey) died intestate in Chester County, SC. I have ordered these estate papers, although there is a notation saying "NO BOND or any other papers found in this file.

Mrs. Russell's app states that "Robert Hughey and young son Joseph and brother James were imprisoned with many other Whigs...their homes and property destroyed."

Would be intersted if any one else shows the Robert Hughey as Joseph Hughey's father.

Joseph Willis Huey b. ABT 1843

shanblan44 — 2009-04-23 01:51:00Z

This is my brick wall. I am looking for information on Willis or Joseph Huey. Not 100% sure of his name. My grandfather thought it might be Willis.
Willis Joseph Huey was born abt 1843 or 1846 in Alabama and died sometime before 1900 in Colorado. I was told this story by my grandparents (Wallace was Josephs grandson): "Joseph was good at geology. He migrated to Colorado and worked in mines. He had been called away to work in another mine and was never seen or heard from again. The family returned to Lindale, TX. He is listed with his family on the 1885 Mesa Colorado census. His wife Clementine is listed on the 1900 census in Lindale, Smith, Texas as a widow."
Facts are: (1) listed as Joseph Hewey on 1880 US Census in Tom Green County, Texas (age 37) with Clementine and 2 children. (2) Listed as J H Huey on 1885 Colorado State Census with N C Huey and children. (3)Listed as W. H. Hughey on marriage certificate to Narcissus Clementine Fleming Apr 29, 1871. (4) Listed as Willis Huey on Lillie June Huey Thomas (daughter) Death Certificate. (5) Listed as Joe Huey on Gussie Lee Huey (son) death certificate.
(6) Had 6 children: William Amos Huey b. 1874, Carrie Ola Huey (Goodman) b. 1879, Lillie June Huey (Thomas) b. 1885, Gussie Lee Huey b. 1887, Dasie Huey (Vaughn) b.1883, Thomas "TT" Huey b.1881.

Why your origin is so important!!!!!

abetterhope85 — 2009-04-18 00:19:44Z

Hey, my name is Jimmie Chance. I just thought it was too much to pass up explaining to you the origin of our peoples because of your statement "I intend to do some study of the history of the whole region, but I would really like to find which ethnic group I am with and focus on that heritage. I want to know which is my true homeland and visit in that place one day. I can not exactly explain why this is so important to me, but it feels like it is something I need to do." Well, in case you didnt already know, most all of the white people who founded this nation were British (or German-Saxon). When I say British I exclude Irish. The majority of "Irish" Americans are not Irish, but are Scots who came from Northern Ireland or Welsh/Norman who came from the Eastern coast of Ireland.
The Scots came to Scotland FROM Northern Ireland where they ruled over a kingdom called "Dalriada" for 1000 years, from about 500 b.c.. In about the year 500 AD when Prince Fergus Mor McErc went to the Caledonian island of Iona the stone-throne was brought with him and the Scottish kingdom of Dalriada was established in Caledonia (ie Scotland before the Scots). Not all the Scots came with them, but many remained in Ulster. Then many Scots returned to Ulster between the late 1600s and early 1800s from whence they came to America.
Now to the really important stuff. All of these nations have the same origin.Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the non-Lapplanders of Finland.
They all belong to one original group that came from the Caucasus Mountain region beginning about 700 b.c.(this is why we are called "Caucasian").
These people came to Europe in what can be considered two main migrations and an "after migation" when the remnants of our people came from Scythia.
These peoples are considered TWO main groups of peoples but only because they seperated some two and a half centuries apart and because the were so FAR away from one another. These are the Cimmerians, and the Scythians.
In about 700 BC the Cimmerians started to appear in Europe and made a raging sweep to Gaul. Here they began to develop into what we know as the "Celtic" nations of Gaul and Britain, and though many of their people had from even more ancient times arrived in Ireland, droves of Celts settled there too. Many of them were sparsely to be found upwards of Scandinavia as well.
The Scythians didnt start to appear in Europe until about 500-450 BC. These people had stayed behind in the region just north of the Caucasus in the region we know as the Ukraine, and southern Russia. Then due to drastic weather changes, and invading tribes from the Uralic mountains (Lapps and Moshkians) they began to trek west till they came to the Baltic Sea. They travelled around it on its coasts and across the sea into Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and eventually Iceland. The Scythians became known as the Norse. Then an "after-migration" of a remnant came
into Northern Germany and Denmark from the area we know as Lithuania today. They came speaking a peculiar Germanic language. Along with them were large numbers of Goths. These were the Anglo-Saxons. But eventually they seperated from the Germans because they were not German, but Scythian.
Now that we've covered I gotta state a question: Well, if all our peoples came from the Caucasus Mountain region,how did they get there to begin with? That is a good question to meditate on. It can be proven that our peoples actually CROSSED OVER the Caucasus Mts. from the south, where they were slave/exiles in the mighty empire of Assyria.
The Assyrians captured people from all over and exiled them into other lands, swapping out whole groups of people. This was one of their dominance tactics which secured them from having to worry about these people becoming a nation again to threaten them.
Our peoples were exiles in the parts of the northern empire starting in the year 722 BC. They were scattered in the cites of the Medes and Persians. The names "Celt" and "Welsh" and "Gaul" all have underlying meanings of "lost", "foreigner", or "EXILE". So where were our people exiled from?
"Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, AND CARRIED ISRAEL AWAY INTO ASSYRIA,and placed them in Halah, and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes."........"Therefore the LORD was very angry with Isael, AND REMOVED THEM OUT OF HIS SIGHT: there was none left but the tribe of Judah ONLY."....."Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria UNTO THIS DAY."(that day was about 490 BC, and Israel had still not returned to Palestine BECAUSE WE, ISRAEL, had already migrated into Europe! Though many of us were still yet to follow.)The above quotations are from 2Kings 17:5-6, v.18, and v.23. This is our TRUE identity. We are Israel, not the Jews. They are Judah. Plain and simple. They kept their Hebrew identity because they always kept the Saturday Sabbath like God commanded. But we turned to paganism and lost that sign of identity so He cast us away to the Assyrians and we LOST our Hebrew language in a foreign land, we lost our identity all together. Well I'll go for now. Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you are interested and might wanna chat about it some my email is a_better_hope85@yahoo.com. Have a great day!

I am from OK and Have heard the same thing. I have a twist to tell though. I have also heard that the Hughey clan was also of Scottish descent, with the spelling having an o which was dropped. Being spelled Houghey, with kin in both Ireland and Scotland. I have not been able to confirm any of this personally but it does give a new twist to the story.

I have Charles Corse in my family tree. His brother, James Marion, married Artilla Matilda Rhyne and they are my gggrandparents. Daughter, Norma Elizabeth, had 2 children with Wm. J. Lowery. They were Ruth and Floyd. Ruth was my grandmother. If you have photos to share, I would be so appreciative. Ruth & Floyd were abandoned by their father when Norma died and raised in foster and adoptive families so we have no pictures from the Corse family.

I have Hughey (one member of family changed name to Huey after coming to US) relatives who came to the US to Rochester, NY from North Ireland, County Tyrone, Augafad. My relatives were of Scotch decent. My great aunt had told me that they use to have the 'Hughey plaid'. I guess Scottish clans all have their own plaid.

Re: Hughey in Ohio

David_Hughey — 2008-03-30 01:16:01Z

I'm looking for evidence that my great-grandfather Henry Hughey was born in Jackson County, Ohio about 1849. Henry married Rebecca B Alexander who was born in Jackson County, Ohio, but the marriage took place in Carter County, Kentucky in 1873. The Alexanders had moved back to Kentucky before the time of the 1870 Census. Henry and Rebecca were the parents of "Maggie" (1873), Robert F. (1876), Sally (1879), William E. (1881), Stella (1883), and Mary Jane (1885). Henry is also possibly the father of John (1859). Henry and Rebecca got divorced as Rebecca remarried in 1887) and had two more children, Roscoe and Ida.

Re: The legendary origin of the Hughey name

David_Hughey — 2008-03-11 13:12:09Z

Obviously, the House of Names does not have the legendary origin of the Hughey name of which I asked. I do not remember the source for the legendary beginning with the four surviving sons of the King of Mercia creating the Hughey family in Scotland. Does anybody else remember reading it or hearing it?

Loduska Hughey, 2nd wife of John Samuel Owens

David_Hughey — 2008-04-24 20:12:59Z

I've been using census reports to work out the family history of a distant cousin of mine, Loduska Hughey, d/o William Brice Hughey and Amanda J. DeShields. According to what I've seen she died in Boone County, Arkansas in 1913, but was living in Grandview Twp., Cherokee County, Oklahoma.
John's first wife, was Katherine Casey, who had also been born and died in Arkansas. Loduska didn't marry James until 1895, and James already had two children--Carolyn (b. 1889) and Ella (b. 1892). I presume Katherine died before the second marriage.

John and Loduska had four surviving children; Loduska lost her first. The other four were Ona Jewel (1899), Garland (1901), Opal V. (1903), and Paul H. (1906). The dates are approximate as it comes from census tract data. When John and Loduska moved to Oklahoma, so did the four children; and before 1920, they moved to Fresno County, California.
John, his daughter Opal, and her husband Leo were all living together in Fresno County in 1930; John died in Fresno county August 30, 1953. In 1930, son Paul was living with his half-sister Ella and her family in Visalia, California. Though all four children were in Fresno with their dad in 1920, I couldn't find the other two children--Ona Jewel and Garland in the 1930 census reports.

John's daughter, Carolyn, died in Loma Linda, California, in 1984; her son in law, Daniel Edward Dirkson, died in the same location in 1982. She was survived by her daughter and two grandchildren. Carolyn's full sister, Ella, married and lived in Fresno County, California, and as far as I know had two daughters.

I don't know when John Samuel married his first wife, Katherine Casey, but it had to have been before 1889, when John's first daughter was born.

Can anyone help me with the small matters here?
--Marriage date of first wife
--when Loduska's first child had been born and died
--were Ona Jewel and Garland still living in 1930, and if so, where
--did Loduska really die in Boone County, Arkansas, and not in Cherokee County, Oklahoma? Boone County may have been the burial place and not the death place

Scottish origin of the Hughey name

David_Hughey — 2008-03-17 04:41:57Z

As far as I know, Hughey was a Brythonic Celtic name (from the ancient Britains)derived from the Kingdom of Mercia and developed in Scotland and then spread elsewhere, principally Ireland. So the two groups of Hugheys were the Scottish Hugheys and the Scots-Irish ones. As for Scottish tartans (plaids), that was characteristic of the Highlanders, not the Border Scots or lowlands. If you kin had a Hughey tartan,then they were Scots Highlanders before coming to Ireland.

The legendary origin of the Hughey name

David_Hughey — 2008-03-07 00:27:57Z

The story I heard was that the Hughey name was of Brythonic origin. "Hughey" comes from a Brythonic word for "fire," and it was used to describe the four surviving sons of the assassinated King of Mercia. The four fled to Scotland, and the Hughey family was born. Brythonic was the Gaelic language of ancient Britain. That's the legend of the birth of the Hughey family. Does anyone else have information on this legend?

Dick, I don't have any of the descendants of Daniel Hughey and Margaret French living in or moving to Boone or Carroll County, Arkansas. Daughter Alva married George M. Hittle in Iowa and had children there. Son Uel married Katherine in Oklahoma and had children there. Margaret (Wilson) (French) grandson was born in Texas and moved to Perry County, Arkansas; Daniel was Margaret's second husband and step-father of her two sons and one daughter. In 1950, Ida Hughey was living in East St. Louis, Illinois, so she did move out of Perry County, Illinois...

George Hughey, b. 1846 -- Ohio

David_Hughey — 2008-01-26 22:26:28Z

I have a George Washington Hughey, b. 1846, in Ohio to Samuel McCracken Hughey and Adeline Wells. He appears in the 1850 Cincinnati, OH, census as a being 4 years old. Samuel is listed as a type ....

In 1870, I have a George Hughey, b. 1846, in Ohio, living in Cache Creek Twp., Yolo County, California, who is in type casting. I have nothing in the intervening years, but given the similiarity in occupations between Samuel and George,is this George in California Samuel's son?

Another interesting tidbit is that there is a George W. Hewey, b. 1846, in Ohio, living in Alto, Umatilla County, Oregon in 1880, but he is a listed as a laborer. I know some of census enumerators mess up the spelling of individuals' names. If he were the same George Hughey as the one in Yolo County, California, and Samuel McCracken Hughey's son, it would provide an interesting scenario. I'm less certain about the latter case, for the name is listed as "Hewey" instead of "Hughey" and the occupation is different from what he had in California.

Can anybody help here?

Re: James Orton - Rebecca Hughey Request

David_Hughey — 2008-01-26 22:14:28Z

I'm a bit confused as well. The wills seem to indicate that James Orton (b. about 1750)was the grandfather of William Reed Orton, who married Rebecca Huey (or Hughey), d/o Thomas Hughey and Mary Bryan. Before going through the will information, I had James Orton (b. 1773) as s/o John Orton, but the wills make it clear that James (b. 1773) is the son of James, not his brother John. James had two wives, Elizabeth Taylor and Sandra Vanderford. The James Orton (b. 1789) who married Rebecca Huey was supposedly the son of James Orton and Sandra Vanderford. Those who list that James as Sandra's son also list the James (b. 1773) as John Orton's son, not James's. James Orton (b. 1789)'s wife Rebecca Huey is listed as the daughter of Thomas Huey and Mary Bryan while William Reed Orton's wife, Rebecca Huey is listed as the daughter of an ? Hughey. Someone has muddled the genealogies...the various wills make the line clear
James, b. 1750
James, b. 1773
William Reed, b. 1802

To whom does the James Orton (b. 1789) belong, James (b. 1750) or John (b. 1756)? Then we can ask the question, which Rebecca Huey married William Reed Orton and which, James Orton?

Robert Hughey b. 1807 in PA/d. after 1880 in OH

clhughey61 — 2007-10-15 05:11:53Z

I am looking for the parents of my ancestor Robert Hughey and anything on his first wife Jane, who was also born around 1807. The family lived in Pennsylvania, Virginia/West Virginia before moving to Ohio in the early 1830's. They had children John, Mary, Ester, Andrew, James, Joseph, Francis(male), Eleanor and Margaret. The family is found on the Ohio census of 1850. Sometime between 1850 and 1860, Jane died and Robert remarried a Mary Elizabeth Craig. They then had children Frances(female), Miranda (these girls were either from a previous marriage of Mary's or they were adopted), Robert and Henry. Shortly after his father remarried, Francis(male) ran away from home and never returned, he was 16 at the time. He was reported later as being killed in the civil war. John, Mary, Ester and Andrew were out of the home by then. I can not seem to find any information on who Robert's parents were, what Jane's maiden name was or who her people were. I suspect that they may have grown up together or lived near each other while young but nothing so far has shown that. The family was to have been in America since colonial days and may have originally come from Massachusettes, Delaware, Maryland or North Carolina. They were suppose to be Scots-Irish and either emigrated from Northern Ireland or Scotland for they were protestants, yet without knowing who Robert's parents were, I am stuck trying to get back any further. If anyone runs across a Robert Hughey, born 1807 in Pennsylvania with a wife Jane please let me know. I am just guessing beyond him at this time. Maybe his father's or grandfather's name was John or Robert? Just because it was customary to name oldest son after father or grandfather back then. Any way, any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for info about the parents of Rebecca Hughey that married James Orton about 1813 in NC.

I can find the Rebecca Hughey that married William Reed Orton all across the net but nothing for the other Rebecca.

Either someone has the wrong maiden name for this Rebecca or there is a second Rebecca Hughey in NC at the same time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Not sure, my ggrandfather was George Thomsen Hughey. His father was also George. He was a farmer first in Haliburton area then moved to Peterborough as a farmer. His siblings I have detail on but his father Georges brothers and sisters I dont. This is where Im stumbling because so many names are duplicated its hard to keep them straight. My grandmother said because they lived so far apart they often called thier kids after brothers and sisters. Let me know what you feel. I think there is a connection. My grandfather Robert Hughey always told me if the name is spelled Hughey they are family.

I hope this is all accurate....[ as we know, we have to double check ]
The first Source is: http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx/hughey-family-crest...
Origin : Irish

Just like the English language, the Gaelic language of Ireland was not standardized in the Middle Ages. Therefore, one's name was often recorded under several different spellings during the life of its bearer. Spelling variations revealed in the search for the origins of the Hughey family name include Hoey, O'Hoey, Hoy, Hue, Kehoe, Keogh, MacKeogh and many more.

First found in Tipperary where they held a family seat from ancient times at Ballymackeogh, and were descended from the MacKeoghs who in turn were descended from their eponymous ancestor Eochaidh O'Kelly one of the ancient Kings of Ui Maine.

Irish families left their homeland in astonishing numbers during the 19th century in search of a better life. Although individual reasons vary, most of these Irish families suffered from extreme poverty, lack of work opportunities, and exorbitant rents in their homeland. Many decided to travel to Australia or North America in the hopes of finding greater opportunities and land. The Irish immigrants that came to North America initially settled on the East Coast, often in major centers such as Boston or New York. But like the many other cultures to settle in North America, the Irish traveled to almost any region they felt held greater promise; as a result, many Irish with gold fever moved all the way out to the Pacific coast. Others before that time left for land along the St. Lawrence River and the Niagara Peninsula, or the Maritimes as United Empire Loyalists, for many Irish did choose to side with the English during the American War of Independence. The earliest wave of Irish migration, however, occurred during the Great Potato Famine of the 1840s. An examination of early immigration and passenger lists has revealed many people bearing the Hughey name: James Hoey who settled in Charles Town, S.C. in 1772; followed by William Hoey in 1803; Charles, Dennis, John, Michael, Thomas and William Hoey, all settled in Philadelphia Pa. between 1840 and 1877.

Hello,

I have been researching ancient Ireland and Irish names in search of ancient
Hughey origins. I have found that our name in a gaelic form is O'hEochaidh
(which sounds about the same, with a little more guttural sound to it).
This name was the names of high kings and if you remove the Irish notion of
O' for "grand father of" you would get the original name as Eochaid /
Eochaidh which you can also find as Irish high kings (for example: the
father of the famous Irish princess Maeve was Eochaid the Ard-Ridh (high
king).

Sometimes I find that people learn that there are multiple spellings of
Hughey like Haughy Haughie Hughie, and so on... and finally come to Huey
which is Scottish (who are also Irish, separated by hundreds of years of
time and culture). Huey is easier to trace because it is more contemporary
and because the Scots had a rough geneological system that almost everyone
belonged to. But the problem is that Huey comes from a scots gaelic
derivative of "fire" - Aidh. Hughes is another name that is related to
this. Aidh was a common name in the celtic world... the name Aidan/Aiden as
a boys name is an example.

The earliest Eochaid (non ultimately of non gaelic origin) that I have found
was the king of legend of the Firbolgs. They predate the Celts and the
culture in Ireland, and before the people called Tuatha de Danann (or people
of Dana in that language). The reference that I found of him was his last
famous battle defending his people, the Firbolgs, against the Tuatha de
Danann in Southern Moytura (on the Mayo-Galway border). The Tuatha were
later conquered by the Irish race comming from Spain or Britain & France.

So you see, researching this information shows that the Hughey name,
although losing its grip on time, is not your average Irish name. It would
seem that because of successive invasions and assimilation of conquered
cultures the name has been passed down through a line of Kings.

What I am doing now, is gathering other information on this BECAUSE
sometimes names disappear and reappear in time, and some people don't look
any further BACK after they find the FIRST link. This causes our name to
look like it came from other families in later times of history.

People are human, and 3 thousand years of inter-marriage and relations
causes a diverse history for any people. What many people know about the
ancient history of our name could be equally valid as part of a greater
whole.

Sorry, I won't bother you any longer with a giant e-mail :) so if anyone
knows of any other ancient name references or history that they can share, I
would greatly appreciate any of it.

Thanks very much,
Doug Hughey

# English: from the Old French personal name Hu(gh)e, introduced to Britain by the Normans. This is in origin a short form of any of the various Germanic compound names with the first element hug ‘heart’, ‘mind’, ‘spirit’. Compare, for example, Howard 1, Hubble, and Hubert. It was a popular personal name among the Normans in England, partly due to the fame of St. Hugh of Lincoln (1140–1200), who was born in Burgundy and who established the first Carthusian monastery in England.
# In Ireland and Scotland this name has been widely used as an equivalent of Celtic Aodh ‘fire’, the source of many Irish surnames (see for example McCoy)*************

Hello, Harlan Hughey's was my g,g, granfarther. James A Hughey was my g grandfarther.I have a good bit of information on James family and some on G M C's family. Harlan probably died in the civil war. He served in Co. K of the SC 5th Infantry. it listed him in the 1860 census with wife and kids but in 1870 it list his wife and kids living with her family. I have just found some information on a George Hughey who sold some land in Union county that had belonged to a John Mckibbon. i'm wondering if George could be Harlan's farther and that's were Green Hughey got his middle name from (Mckibbon) Also found a will for John Huey that list George as his son. I hope this will be of some help to you,and I would love to see the info you have on David and James being half brothers. Thank you Ryne Hughey

Re: Isaac Hughey

brewerdelma — 2007-09-30 03:47:20Z

I am beginning a new search for my Isaac Hughey. I was sidetracked years ago by circumstances, and now I am at it again. I only know that my grandfather Oceola Hughey was born in Arkansas and Isaac Hughey died in Texas. They must have mugrated west. He died in 1900.His birth date is about 1826. My grandfather came to New Mexico and later to Arizona where he died.My dad was born in Jeff Davis, Texas so they must have been in Texas awhile. Sure wish I knew more and hope that in the next few months I do know them better. Thanks, Delma Brewer
