Abigail Hussey, daughter of Stephen Hussey and Martha Bunker Hussey, was born 22nd, 12th month, 1679, probably at Sherburne.  Folger genealogical records show her birth as 16th, 12th month, 1679.

She was married April 5, 1700 to Thomas Howes.  He was drowned June 1, 1700, and a son was born to them nine months after his death.  She was remarried to Joseph Marshall, son of James Marshall and Ruth Hawkins Marshall.  She was mentioned in the will of her father written in 1716 as the recipient of 20 pounds to be paid to her out of the inheritance of her brother, Bachelor Hussey.

Joseph Marshall died April 24, 1748, and Abigail Hussey Howes Marshall died April 26, 1763.

A son was born to Thomas Howes and Abigail Hussey Howes:

 Thomas Howes       born 6th, 3rd month, 1701

One son was born to Joseph Marshall and Abigail Hussey Howes Marshall:

 Joseph Marshall       born about 1706

Thomas Howes, son of Thomas Howes and Abigail Hussey Howes, was born 6th, 3rd month,  1701.

Joseph Marshall, son of Joseph Marshall and Abigail Hussey Howes Marshall, was born about 1706 probably on Nantucket Island.  He wrote "Genealogy of the Husseys" in which he reportedly states [erroneously] that his grandfather Christopher Hussey was a "castaway on Cape Florida and died at the hands of cannibals."  [His manuscript has not been examined in the preparation of this manuscript.]

Sylvanus Hussey, son of Stephen Hussey and Martha Bunker Hussey, was born 13th, 5th month, 1682, according to "Record of Births, Deaths and Marriages on Nantucket, beginning in 1662."  He was married 7th, 2nd month, 1711-12 to Abial Browne, daughter of John Browne and Rachel Gardner Browne and a granddaughter of John Gardner, Sr.

Sylvanus Hussey became a wealthy merchant on Nantucket.  He, with other merchants, provided funds to built the sloop "Eagle" at Scituate, Rhode Island in 1711.  Later he was listed in the records at the state house in Boston as the owner of the sloop "Eagle," 30 tons, and the sloop "Bristol," 14 tons, built at Tiverton, Rhode Island in 1711.

He was mentioned in his father's will written in 1716 as the recipient of a negro boy named "Mark."

Abial Browne Hussey died "in the fifth month, 1722." according to "History of Nantucket."  He was remarried on the 8th, 9th month "called November," 1723 to Hepzibah Starbuck.  She was born 8th 11th month, 1700 to Nathaniel Starbuck, Jr. and Dinah Coffin Starbuck, according to Nantucket Quaker records.

In 1726 Sylvanus Hussey was mentioned as the captain [or owner] of a ship that captured two whales of the 36 taken by Nantucket ships that season.  On July 16, 1728 he was named by the town of Sherburne as a trustee for money appropriated to Sherburne by the General Court.  He was named treasurer of a building fund used to construct a Quaker meetinghouse on Nantucket Island on January 26, 1733.

On January 30, 1750 it was recorded in the town records that "the Town will buy an Engine to quench fire of 18 pounds sterling, "and it was voted that Sylvanus Hussey, Abishae Folger and Richard Coffin "be the men to procure s'd Engine."  Sylvanus Hussey was a logical choice on the fire engine committee, since he had become one of the largest importers of manufactured goods and was perhaps the canniest trader on the island.

For some time he imported goods from Jonathan Trumbull, the leading provisioner of Connecticut.  In the winter of 1750-51 Trumbull had a surplus of foodstuffs and sought to trade with Sylvanus Hussey for whale oil which his ships might carry to London.  Whale oil was in great demand in London at that time.  It was used by soap manufacturers and as fuel for the street lamps throughout the city.  In a letter to Trumbull dated February 20, 1750-51 Sylvanus Hussey offered to "furnish oil of such a quality as to suit the London trade and that in considerable quantity."

In September 1751 Sylvanus Hussey shipped 7,000 gallons of whale oil to Trumbull consigned for London in exchange for a large quantity of beef, pork, butter and lard, according to "Historic Nantucket."

"It soon became apparent that Hussey had unloaded his inferior oil on the Connecticut provisioner.  The London purchasers complained that the oil was of a bad color and of foul odor, and one soapmaker was loud in his complaint that the inferior oil had ruined a large batch of soap."

It also developed that Trumbull was shipping his less-than-desirable commodities to Nantucket, just before their "shelf life" ran out.  When the accounts of the two balanced on July 19, 1754 Sylvanus Hussey wrote a letter to Trumbull closing the books and ending the commerce between the two.

Hepzibah Starbuck Hussey died December 31, 1764.  Sylvanus Hussey died 2nd, 10th month, 1767, according to "Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire."

In his will probated March 6, 1767 he named his sons William Hussey and Christopher Hussey his executors.  Witnesses to the will were Matthew Barnard and Jethro Folger, Jr.

To his sons Obed Hussey, Jonathan Hussey, Christopher Hussey, William Hussey, Bachelor Hussey, Nathaniel Hussey, Sylvanus Hussey, Jr., George Hussey and Joseph Hussey he left to each "the house they each lived in."  The house of Jonathan Hussey located in Dartmouth, Massachusetts was combined with a farm there.  He left three additional houses to William Hussey under the terms of the will.

To his grandsons Stephen Hussey and Daniel Hussey, sons of the deceased Daniel Hussey, he left a "dwelling house to be equally theirs."  He also directed that the home occupied by the widow of Daniel Hussey, his brother, "be settled amongst her children as the Judge of Probate may direct."  He thus gave away 13 houses in all, specifying that the old homestead he occupied at the time of his death go to his youngest child, Joseph Hussey.

According to "One Hundred and Sixty Allied Families" to different children he gave shares in Old or Middle Wharf, North Wharf, lands, creatures, trading stock of goods, book debts, notes, bonds, mortgages, lands in Dartmouth and Martha's Vineyard, new storehouse, tryhouse on the beach, share in the ropewalk lately built, new brig now building at Scituate and residue of interests in vessels and shipping."

To daughters, Rachel Hussey Coleman and Hepzibah Hussey Coleman, he left "a riding chaise equally, and to each of them one cow's commons, and 200 pounds; and all household goods, except what was reserved for son, Joseph."

To his son William Hussey he left his wearing apparel.  To his daughter-in-law Sarah Jenkins Hussey he left 200 pounds "for bringing up her children."  To his grandsons Benjamin Hussey and Obed Hussey, Jr. he left "50 pounds apiece."  To his granddaughters Elizabeth Hussey Coffin and Eunice Hussey Worth he left 20 pounds each.  To his grandson, Stephen Hussey he gave "six cow's commons and 200 pounds."  To his son George Hussey, in addition to the homestead, he gave also "the shop south of the house, one-half share in North Wharf, one-half share in Old or Middle Wharf, one-half of a lot at Pawkamo; and to him, with six brothers, all real estate and creatures not otherwise disposed of; to him, with four brothers, trading stock of goods, money, book debts, bonds and notes; to him, with three brothers and testator's grandson, Seth Jenkins Hussey, "land at Martha's Vineyard and Dartmouth, and land to the eastward," and to him, with three brothers, all residue of shipping interest; and also to him, with three brothers, all interest in ropewalk and mortgage deeds.  To "kinsman", Joseph Marshall, son of Joseph Marshall, a silver tankard [large cup with hinged lid], silver porringer [porridge dish], household goods and 20 pounds.

Thirteen children were born to Sylvanus Hussey, five by his first wife and eight by the second, according to "Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire."  A fourteenth child was mentioned "One Hundred and Sixty Allied Families."  Rita Marie Ring identified the fourteenth child as Joseph Hussey.

The name "Stephen Hussey" appears frequently in the records of Nantucket making it impossible in some cases to delineate among the various individuals bearing this name.

On June 1, 1762 Stephen Hussey made a petition to the General Court regarding a miscarriage of justice.  He was named along with his brother Daniel Hussey as the recipient of a house on Nantucket Island under the terms of his grandfather's will probated March 6, 1767.

Stephen Hussey was appointed to serve on the Committee of Convention in Boston September 24, 1768, according to Nantucket town records.

At a meeting of the town's selectmen September 11, 1771 it was voted "that a Remonstrance be sent to the governor to lay the State of Inoculation [small pox] before him in a true light and to desire him to sign a Bill to annex Muskeket and Gravelly Island to this county."  Stephen Hussey was named to the committee to prepare the remonstrance and was also designated as the man "to carry said Remonstrance to Boston and present the same to his Excellency."

On July 7, 1774 Stephen Hussey and Christopher Hussey were named on a committee "to carry on a subscription for the relief of the poor of the town of Boston."  On September 28, 1774 Stephen Hussey was chosen to represent the town of Sherburne at the session of General Court to be held in Salem, Massachusetts October 1, 1774.

As the revolutionary fervor began to stir and the colonies began to communicate with each other about their grievances Stephen Hussey was chosen as a member of the Committee of Correspondence by Nantucket April 12, 1775.

Apparently Stephen Hussey, like many other members of his family at that time, was captain of a whaling ship, and the Revolution subjected them to many hazards at sea--particularly with the British navy.  Consequently the colonies began to place restrictions upon captains and shipowners about the outfitting of their ships for cruises.  According to "History of Nantucket," the captains persisted in whaling and sought permits from the government to continue.  Despite the severity of restrictions however, a few owners of whaling vessels in Nantucket and neighboring ports petitioned the General Court for permits.  Indeed, as their property was wholly invested in the business, there seemed to be nothing else for them to do.  Among those petitioning were George Hussey, Stephen Hussey, Richard Mitchell, Jr, Josiah Coffin and Andrew Myrick of Nantucket.

"History of Nantucket" records, "Concerning these men the following resolution was adopted:

"In the House of Representatives, September 27, 1775
On the petition of Stephen Hussey et al of Nantucket

Resolved, That the Petitioners above mentioned, and all other, who have Vessels fitting out for the Whale Fishery, be and they hereby are permitted to send their Vessels on said Fishery, they taking on board no more Provisions than is necessary for said Voyages, in the Judgement of the Selectmen of the Towns from which they sail, and giving Bond to the Receiver General of this Colony, in the Sum of Two Thousand Pounds for each Vessel."

The Island of Nantucket lay in a very exposed condition in the event of hostilities, and Stephen Hussey and Bachelor Hussey, selectmen of Sherburne, joined the other selectmen in signing a petition pointing out the hazards and hesitating to join in the hostilities without some protection for the island.

On December 28, 1776 "Stephen Hussey, Esquire" was appointed muster master on Nantucket, according to "Massachusetts Archives," Letters, Volume 210.  On June 23, 1779 Stephen Hussey reported to the "Congress of the State of Massachusetts Bay" on conditions in Nantucket.  On February 17, 1781 Stephen Hussey was one of the delegates from Nantucket who requested neutrality and immunity from attacks from the British navy.

Stephen Hussey saw naval service during the Revolutionary War, according to "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary War."  He was a naval officer, judge of Inferior Court of Pleas and collector of customs on Nantucket.

A report on the abolitionist efforts of Sylvanus Erastus Fuller Hussey appeared in "Quaker History," Volume 60:

"Erastus Hussey was active in Michigan first as a member of Livonia Monthly Meeting and later as overseer of Battle Creek Monthly Meeting.  He was the most prominent Hicksite Friend in Michigan.  Born in Scipio, New York in 1800 he moved to Wayne County in 1824 where he settled on a wilderness homestead with his wife in 1827.  A successful farmer, he decided to sell his cleared land and new white frame house near Plymouth, Michigan in 1838."

"After a brief visit in New York he moved to Battle Creek where he became an extremely successful merchant and builder.  A man of some wealth and community standing he organized the Battle Creek station of the underground railroad in 1840. He concealed, fed and clothed over 1,000 slaves fleeing the South on their way to Upper Canada.  His store had a cellar that was a hiding place for fugitives, according to 'History of Calhoun County, Michigan.'"

"In 1847 Kentucky planters sent spies into southwestern Michigan to ascertain the location of underground railroad stations and the whereabouts of escaped slaves. These spies visited Battle Creek posing as travelling salesmen.  Hussey in a rather bold stroke confronted them in their hotel diningroom and warned them that should they attempt to kidnap any fugitives living in their area their lives could be endangered."

"Surreptitiously he published hundreds of handbills warning any slave-stealers that Michigan citizens would not tolerate their activities.  These were distributed throughout Michigan by friendly railroad agents.  Fearing for their safety, the Kentucky agents left Battle Creek."

"Erastus Hussey, however, learned that their real target was the large black colony at Young's Prairie Monthly Meeting, Orthodox, near Vandalia in Cass County.  He immediately dispatched a letter to one of his railroad agents, Stephen Bogue, an Orthodox Friend in Penn township, warning that a slave raid was imminent.  The letter, however, was delayed and the famous "Kentucky Slave Raid" at Cassopolis was carried out without any warning."

"Unlike some other Quaker abolitionists, Erastus Hussey was prominent in anti-slavery political activity.  His political career included terms as mayor of Battle Creek, member of the Michigan House of Representatives as a Free Soil Party legislator, and member of the state senate as a Republican.  A major financier and backer of the Liberty Party in Michigan, he supported James Birney for president in 1844.  His radical politics were freely expressed in the Michigan Liberty Press, one of the first major anti-slavery papers in the state.  He financed and published the paper in Battle Creek, also serving as its editor in 1849.  Shortly after his assumption of the post of editor, the newspaper office was destroyed by fire."
