Even older news:
Oct. 4, 1882 Highland Weekly News - Hillsboro Ohio (published 1853-1886) and is publicly available on the Internet at this link. The article in the far right column is about an estate sale of two pieces of property in Penn Township owned by the deceased S. Wilson Hussey; the first at the corner of the New Vienna and Careytown Pike. [Wilson Hussey's grandfather, Joshua and Joshua's siblings were among the first settlers in the New Vienna area.] The estate administrator was James H. Terrell [probably James Huff Terrell, father of four daughters and three sons and whose great-grandchildren, if I have it correct, would include Janet, Bill, Fran & Becky.]
Other names of adjacent property owners listed are
- William Hussey [1853-1933, a cousin],
- C. [Charles] A. Shockley [1848-?, a brother-in-law of William Hussey],
- Josiah Polk [1844-1934, grand uncle of Mary Etta Slaughter Penn],
- A. Drechemin [most likely Abraham Duchemin who built the house (See picture below) next to school property which was a twin of sorts to the large brick house which still stands on the corner of College & Second Street]
- John M. Parker
- James H. Hussey [1844-1916, Wilson Hussey's brother]
- Joseph Eaton [1847-1926, grandfather of Virginia Hildebrant & Joe Eaton]
- Elizabeth P. [Hussey] Triplett [1846-1924, another Hussey cousin]

Hi! I found your blog because you included Elizabeth P. Hussey Triplett in it. My 4th great-grandmother was Elizabeth Triplett Lockhart and her brother-in-law Samuel Lockhart settled in Greene County, Ohio, where his daughter Katherine was the 2nd wife of Christopher Hussey. I am wondering if there is a connection between the Husseys or Tripletts you mention and those on my family tree. My email is dellittwilson@gmail.com if you or anyone visiting this can help me out. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Do you have a family tree on ancestry.com? There is a "New Vienna Related" tree which has three Christopher Hussey's but the youngest two (though born in later 1700s) are not matched with a spouse. There are no Lockharts (yet) so not sure about their connection.
