He was married 11th, 10th month, 1704, at age 20, to Abigail Halle
(H9/1.1) who was
born 24th, 2nd month, 1684-85 at Hampton, New Hampshire. William
Folger records her
birth as "2, 24, 1680." She was the daughter of John Halle
(H10/1.1) and Abigail
Roberts Halle (R10/1.1) "of Boston," according to "Compendium of
American Genealogy."
Folger genealogical records refer to the Halles as "residents of
Piscataqua."
William R. Cutter in "Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating
to the Families of
the State of Massachusetts," 1910, states that they were married
in Hampton and their
first four children were born there. "Genealogical Dictionary
of New Hampshire"
concurs, adding that their marriage record appears in Hampton records.
William C.
Folger disagreed and communicated to New England Historical and
Genealogical Register
in 1853 that they were married on Nantucket Island "by William P.
Worth, Justice of
ye Peace." He also implied that all the children were born
on the island.
Martha Burr Hollingsworth (B3/7.1), a descendant of Jamestown, Ohio
suggested in a
letter dated February 6, 1978 that Abigail Halle Hussey (H9/1.1)
was a "Mayflower
descendant."
On the 9th, 10th month, 1715 Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4) received from
his father a deed
to "one full, complete quarter of that share of land which I bought
of my father,
Christopher, containing one full, complete twenty-fifth of the Island
of Nantucket."
Under the terms of the will of Stephen Hussey (H10/2.1) written in
1716 Bachelor
Hussey (H9/1.4) was to receive his father's lawbooks and pass them,
in turn, to his
son, Stephen Hussey (H8/4.5) when he reached his 21st birthday.
Bachelor Hussey
(H9/1.4) was chosen as one of the trustees of a loan received by
Nantucket Island
from the General Court 15th, 1st month, 1721. He, a Quaker
preacher, was appointed
22nd, 12th month 1730-31 to a committee to find a site for a new
meetinghouse for the
Quakers, according to "History of Nantucket."
Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4) appeared in the Quaker records in May 1737.
At a meeting
"To inspect the affairs of Friends, Batchelor Hussey offered or
Signified to this
Meeting his Intention or Design to move with his family from hence
down to the
Eastward which matter is referred to Friends for further consideration."
Following a disagreement with Sylvanus Hussey (H9/1.3), his brother,
Bachelor Hussey
(H9/1.4) "moved with part of his children to Winter Harbor [later
called Biddeford]
in the district of Maine and settled at Fletcher's Neck in June
1737," according to
Folger genealogical records. He purchased from Pendleton Fletcher
one-half of
Fletcher's Neck, Wood Island and other property for 1,400 pounds,
according to Bessie
Brooks Pritchett Hanna (P4/2.5). He built a house there that
was subsequently
occupied by a grandson.
Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4) was "engaged in coasting or West India trade,"
according to
"Genealogical History of New Hampshire." He returned to the
court an inventory for
the estate of Matthew Libbey of Kittery, Maine, according to Norma
Norman, Hussey
researcher of Portland, Oregon.
Ruth Ann Hussey Lindquist Bassler (H2/7.2), Hussey researcher of
Chicago, wrote of
Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4) and Abigail Halle Hussey (H9/1.1):
"Among the early settlers at the Pool or 'on the neck' was Bachiller
Hussey, who came
from Nantucket. His vocation was whale fishing. He purchased
most of the Neck and a
great deal of the island. His descendants purchased still
more. The original house
was the old fashioned hip roof style, built of strong timbers with
large chimney and
immense fireplaces. Abigail Hussey was known for her motherly
solicitude, cheerful
sweet face under cap and huge black spectacles. Both were
known for genial
hospitality."
She died in 1751, according to Ruth Ann Hussey Lindquist Bassler
(H2/7.2), and he
died about 1760.
Jean Balmer, Hussey researcher of San Diego, California, was instrumental
in locating
his probate, File No. 9969, in the office of York County Register
of Probate, Alfred,
Maine:
"At a Court of Probate held at York for ye County of York the Ninth

Eleven children were born to Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4) and Abigail
Halle Hussey
(H9/1.1), according to "Genealogical Dictionary of Maine New
Hampshire." A number
of them married in Dover," according to the volume. G. T.
Ridlon, Sr. in 1895 wrote
in "Saco Valley Settlements and Families" that "Descendants [of
Bachelor Hussey
(H9/1.4)] remain in the vicinty."
Children born to them, according to William C. Folger, Nantucket
genealogist,
include:
Christopher Hussey
(H8/4.1) born 10th, 2nd month,
1706
Mary Hussey
(H8/4.2) born 9th, 12th month,
1706-07
Jedidah Hussey
(H8/4.3) born 27th, 7th month,
1708
John Hussey
(H8/4.4) born 6th, 8th month,
1710
Stephen Hussey
(H8/4.5) born 14th, 8th month,
1713
Huldah Hussey
(H8/4.6) born 8th, 12th month,
1715-16
Ebenezer Hussey
(H8/4.7) born 7th, 12th month,
1717-18
Paul Hussey
(H8/4.8) born 12th, 4th month,
1720
Silvanus Hussey
(H8/4.9) born 11th, 3rd month,
1722
Hepzibah Hussey
(H8/4.10) born about 1724
Moses Hussey
(H8/4.11) born 1725-26
Jean Balmer suggests that the last two children listed above were
not in the family
of Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4), but were really children of his nephew
Bachelor Hussey
(H8/+3.8), son of Sylvanus Hussey (H9/1.3):
"I consulted Madge E. Ames, genealogist of Augusta, Maine.
She verifies that
Bachelor left no will and ordered probate papers mentioning heirs
from the York
County Registry of Probate in Alfred. She also checked the
Indexed Vital Records of
Biddeford to 1780. The only mention of this family is the
marriage intention of
Bachelor's son Stephen and Unice Baxter, 1743.
While comparing Bachelor's children in the probate list to William
C. Folger's pr38 I
noticed that Moses and Hepzibah are not included in probate.
Starbuck, I see, names
'Moses lost at sea, 1785' as son of Bachelor's nephew Bachelor [(H8/3.8)].
Starbuck
also lists a Hepsibah, 1751-1760, as daughter of Bachelor [(H8/3.8)].
Considering the probate list, it seems highly possible that William
C. Folger might
have confused the 'Bachelors' in attributing Moses and Hepzibah
to the older Bachelor
[(H9/1.4)]."
Christopher Hussey (H8/4.1), son of Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4) and
Abigail Halle Hussey
(H9/1.1), was born 19th, 2nd month, 1706 on Nantucket Island, according
to "Vital
Records of Nantucket, Massachusetts." His birth was recorded
as 9th, 12th month,
1706, according to Folger genealogical records in the Nantucket
Historical Society
collection.
Of this individual nothing more is known. Since neither he
nor his descendants were
mentioned in his father's probate it is suggested that he died young
and without
children. It is possible that both William C. Folger and "Vital
Records of
Nantucket, Massachusetts" erred in ascribing Christopher Hussey
(H8/4.1) to Bachelor
Hussey (H9/1.4). The probate of Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4) identified
John Hussey
(H8/4.4) "deceased" as the "eldest son," and in deference to the
custom of
primogeniture then prevailing ordered that his heirs receive a double
portion of the
estate. It is also possible that Christopher Hussey (H8/4.1)
died in childhood, and
that the administrators of the estate had no knowledge of him when
they identified
his younger brother as the "eldest son."
William C. Folger then "compounded the felony" when he recorded in
his chronicle that
Christopher Hussey (H8/4.1) [rather than his second cousin Christopher
(H8/10.6)] was
the individual who was married to Ann Garretson (G8/1.2) in Delaware.
His entry read
"12 9 1706 Christopher [Hussey] m'd Ann Garretson of Maine, no child."
Eliza Barney
recorded the same "of Maine" mistake in his chronicle, perhaps getting
his
information from Folger. In lockstep several generations of
Hussey researchers
perpetuated the error citing the Folger-Barney source as their authority.
The
results were tragic.
Jean Balmer was kinder in her allowance for them:
"William C. Folger must have been an enthusiastic historian to undertake
the work,
and undoubtedly used endless sources in an effort to produce a true
book of is+land
genealogies (witness the beautiful handwriting!). Once begun,
there would be
pressure to tie up loose ends, to make things fit, but was his information
as full as
possible? How accurate were his sources, when, as in this
instance he was dealing
with events 100 to 150 years earlier? The source could not
have been a family bible;
anyone close would have known Ann Garretson was from Delaware, not
Maine, and that
instead of "no children" there were several. More likely it
was through verbal
inquiries and answers of good intent but lesser knowledge relayed
to Nantucket by
mail or visit from descendants of Nantucket families."
On his sheet No. 1143 William C. Folger also showed "Bachilor Hussey,
1st son of
Stephen and Martha."
Genealogists who must make a major overhaul of their records to change
their descent
from the branch of Stephen Hussey (H10/2.1) to the branch of John
Hussey (H10/2.2)
will rightfully first require a preponderance of evidence.
Connie Wilson of Berkeley, California, Norma Norman of Portland,
Oregon and Jean
Balm+er of San Diego, California, all descendants of Christopher
Hussey (H8/10.6),
have assembled such a preponderance of evidence. They wrote:
"1. The will of John Hussey, written in 1729, proved in 1733,
clearly shows that his
son Christopher was underage in 1729. When Christopher Hussey
and Ann Garretson
declared their marriage intentions 2nd, 8th month, 1736 at Newark
Monthly Meeting the
Quakers there regarded Christopher immature, if not underage.
The minutes read,
'Christopher Hussey and Ann Garretson appeared here and declared
their intention of
marriage with Each other which is passed for the first time therefore
we appoint
George Hogg and Nicholas Meers to inquire into the young mans Conversation
and
clearness on the act of marriage and make report to the next monthly
meeting. Allso
the young man is desired to produce some lines from his mother of
her approbation or
her appearance at our next monthly meeting.' Usage of 'his
mother' rather than
'parents' suggests the father is not living. The next month
'the young man produced
Lins from his mother of her Consent . . ."
Still no mention of father; mother complies in writing. Were
this Christopher of
Nantucket, born 1706, age 30, there would be no need to hint underage
and require
parental approval as strong as requesting his mother's personal
appearance [all the
way from Maine]. Bachelor Hussey was still alive in 1736.
If it were his son under
consideration the request "for lines" would have gone to him.
2. Gilbert Cope, emminent Quaker researcher, in a statement dated
January 16, 1909
wrote that Christopher Hussey who married Ann Garretson was "a son
of John."
3. High Point, North Carolina DAR records name Christopher Hussey,
husband of Ann
Garretson, as the "son of John."
4. Christopher Hussey signed a wedding register in sequence with
his mother, three
brothers and two sisters at the first Quaker wedding in what is
now York County,
Pennsylvania. The wedding was that of Mrs. Theodate Hussey
Seal to Robert Hodgin
29th, 5th month, 1740.
5. The probate of the estate of Bachelor Hussey who died about 1760
makes no mention
of Christopher Hussey as one of the heirs, suggesting that he predeceased
his father
and left no heirs himself. If he were our ancestor and left
no heirs, where does
that put you and me?"
Mary Hussey (H8/4.2), daughter of Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4) and Abigail
Halle Hussey
(H9/1.1), was born 9th, 12th month, 1706-07 on Nantucket Island,
according to
Nantucket Quaker records. She was married 7th, 5th month,
1730 to Peleg Swain
(S8/1.2), according to Folger genealogical records. She died
before 1760, according
to her father's probate which provided an inheritance of 50 pounds,
six shillings to
her children. Six children were born to Peleg Swain (S8/1.2)
and Mary Hussey Swain
(H8/4.2).
Jedidah Hussey (H8/4.3), daughter of Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4) and
Abigail Halle
Hussey (H9/1.2), was born 27th, 7th month, 1708 in Hampton, New
Hampshire, according
to "Genealogical History of New Hampshire." She was married
to Benjamin Coffin
(C8/1.1), "Quaker, son of Nathaniel Coffin (C9/1.1) and Damaris
Coffin, 5th, 2nd
month, called April, 1726," according to "Abridged Compendium of
American Genealogy."
He was born 3rd, 4th month, 1705. Jedidah Hussey Coffin (C8/1.1)
died August 6,
1759, according to Gary N. Priest, Hussey researcher of North Reading,
Massachusetts.
Her father's probate dated July 9, 1761 provided an inheritance
of 50 pounds, six
shillings to her children.
Fourteen children were born to them, including:
Benjamin Coffin, Jr. (C7/1.1) born about 1730
Benjamin Coffin, Jr. (C7/1.1), son of Benjamin Coffin (C8/1.1) and
Jedidah Hussey
Coffin (H8/4.3), was born about 1730 on Nantucket Island.
He was married "7th, 2nd
month (called February), 1754" to his cousin, Elizabeth Hussey (H7/2.2),
daughter of
Daniel Hussey (H8/3.2) and Sarah Gorham Hussey (G8/1.1), according
to Nantucket
Quaker records.
Benjamin Coffin, Jr. (C7/1.1) removed from Nantucket Island 23rd,
9th month, 1773.
In 1789 he appeared in the Quaker colony in Guilford County, North
Carolina. He
wrote his will there December 1, 1789, and it was probated in May
1790, according to
Guilford County Will Book A, page 53. In the will he left
to his son Aaron Coffin
(C6/1.1) "what descended from my grandfather Bathalder Hussey at
Winter Harbor,
(Biddeford) Maine," according to "Guilford County, North Carolina
Will Abstracts" by
Irene B. Webster.
John Hussey (H8/4.4), son of Bachelor Hussey (H9/1.4) and Abigail
Halle Hussey
(H9/1.1), was born 6th, 8th month, 1710 on Nantucket Island, according
to Nantucket
Quaker records. "Genealogical History of New Hampshire" states
that he was born in
Hampton, New Hampshire. He was married "4th, 10th month (called
February), 1733-34"
to Jedidah Coffin (C8/1.1), daughter of Joseph Coffin (C9/1.1),
"deceased" and
Bethiah Macy Coffin (M9/1.1), according to Nantucket church records.
Jedidah Coffin
(C8/1.1) was born December 4, 1715.
John Hussey (H8/4.4) was "lost overboard in going to North Carolina"
and drowned on
the 26th, 4th month, 1749, according to Nantucket Quaker records.
Jedidah Coffin
Hussey (C8/1.1) continued to live on Nantucket in 1759. She
died 11th, 1st month,
1799.

Hussey
(C8/+1.1), was born about 1736 on Nantucket Island. Of this
individual nothing more
is known.
Robert Hussey (H7/4.2), son of John Hussey (H8/4.4) and Jedidah Coffin
Hussey
(C8/1.1), was born about 1737 probably on Nantucket Island.
He became a mariner and
was married February 28, 1758 to Lydia Swain (S7/1.1), daughter
of Richard Swain
(S8/1.1) and Elizabeth Gardner Swain (G8/1.1). Lydia Swain
Hussey (S7/1.1) died
23rd, 11th month, 1772, according to Nantucket Quaker records.
Robert Hussey (H7/4.2) was remarried to Elizabeth Wing (W7/1.1),
daughter of Joseph
Wing (W8/1.1) and Mary Wing of Newport, Rhode Island 6th, 1st month,
1774. Robert
Hussey (H7/4.2) was mentioned in the diary of Kezia Coffin Fanning
May 6, 1775 as
having "arrived from Guinea with Stephen Gardner with 110 barrels"
(of whale oil).
"Robert Hussey, wife and three children" received one pound, four
shillings in 1776
in relief money from Quakers in Philadelphia, according to "Colonial
Society of
Massachusetts." He died "19th, 7th month, 1782 of bilious
fever," according to
Nantucket Quaker records and was probably buried on Nantucket Island.
"Elizabeth Hussey," believed to be Elizabeth Wing Hussey (W7/1.1),
was enumerated as
the head of a household in the 1790 census of Sherburne, Massachusetts.
The family
was rendered as "two white females and one white male under 16,"
according to "Heads
of Households, Massachuetts, 1790," page 163. She reappeared
as the head of
household in the 1800 census of Nantucket Island:
"Hussey, Elizabeth
white female over 45
white male 16-26
white male 16-26"

Swain Hussey
(S7/1.1), was born 19th, 10th month, 1762, according to Nantucket
Quaker records. He
died single at age 18, "at sea, 9th, 4th month, 1781," according
to church records.
Eliab Hussey (H6/2.2), son of Robert Hussey (H7/4.2) and Lydia Swain
Hussey (S7/1.1),
was born 15th, 7th month, 1766, according to Nantucket Quaker records.
He was
employed as a whaler seaman by his uncle Benjamin Hussey (H7/4.4)
and removed to
Dunkirk, France in 1787 when much of the Nantucket whaling fleet
moved there to
escape the depredations of the British Navy. He left his uncle's
employment about
1798 and returned to Nantucket.
Eliab Hussey (H6/2.2) was married October 17, 1798 to Lydia Smith
(S6/1.1), daughter
of Eliphalet Smith (S7/1.1) and Deborah Bunker Smith (B7/1.1), according
to Folger
genealogical records. He appeared as the head of a household
in the 1800 census of
Nantucket. Apparently Eliab Hussey (H6/2.2) was at sea at
the time because the
household was composed of only "one white female, 26-45."
Eliab Hussey (H6/2.2) was
"lost at sea 11th month, 1812" at age 46, according to Folger genealogical
records.
A "Lydia E. Hussey" was enumerated as the head of a household in
the 1840 census of
Nantucket, page 376.

(S6/1.1), was born 19th, 9th month, 1801, according to Folger genealogical
records.
Of this individual nothing more is known.
Eliza S. Hussey (H5/2.2), daughter of Eliab Hussey (H6/2.2) and Lydia
Smith Hussey

Edward Barnard Hussey, Jr. (H4/3.1), "captain of the Peruvian," a
ship of 334 tons,
sailed from Nantucket December 6, 1852 for a whaling cruise in the
Indian Ocean. He
returned May 7, 1856 with 100 barrels of sperm oil. He was
married October 20, 1852
to Anna Myrick Clark (M4/1.1), a widow and daughter of Isaac Myrick
(M5/1.1) and
Deborah Jenkins Myrick (J5/1.1), according to Burton N. Derick.
Isaac Myrick
(M5/1.1) was keeper of the Nantucket jail, and it was in the jailer's
house that they
were married.
The "Peruvian" was broken up at New Bedford in 1857, according to
"History of
Nantucket." He later became master of the barque "Richmond"
out of New Bedford.
Walter Richmond Hussey (H3/1.1) wrote of his father:
"In 1857, latter part, or possibly early in 1858, father, in command
of the
"Richmond" went into Fayal, Azore Islands. It was his first
visit there. A brig
under command of a Capt. Lacey lay there. Capt. Lacey said
to father the day he got
in, "Don't you want to go to the crater tomorrow? Some of
the women are going, and
they want another man." "Yes," said father, "I might as well
go there as anywhere."
So the next day they started. They had to go 7 or 8 miles
perhaps, up the mountain
slope--rough traveling; they had donkeys until they reached the
crater. Some of the
party did not wish to go down [into the crater], but one girl said,
"I'm going."
"So'm I," said father.
So this girl, smart and active, started off with Capt. Lacey.
Then another woman,
not so good a climber, decided she would go, so father waited for
her and helped her
over the rough places. Two boys also went, one the son of
a clergyman named Frost,
who was at the island for his health (consumption), and the other
the son of the
hotel keeper. The crater was so deep that sheep at the bottom
looked as small as
geese. There was a pond at the bottom.
After looking around a little [at the bottom] the most active girl
and Capt. Lacley
took the lead again in climbing out. When they had gone a
little way father called
to them that they had taken the wrong gulley, the people in town
having told them
that there was only one way out. "I know it," came back the
answer, "but this seems
easier," so they kept on, as the girl was somewhat headstrong and
wanted to go that
way.
Father and the woman with him went also, as he thought she would
not want to be left
behind, down there with him. Still he knew they couldn't get
out that way. They
were about half way up when the Frost boy ran a little ahead.
There was a
perpendicular wall and a ledge. He went round the curve on
this ledge and then
called back, "You can't go any farther this way," and started back.
Below this ledge
there was a little slant, not quite perpendicular for perhaps 30
or 40 ft. The boy
happened to look down and that look was too much for him.
He probably got dizzy and
realized his danger. He called out, "Come quick, Capt. Lacey
and get me." Father,
too, saw the danger and called, "Hurry, Lacey, and catch him."
Capt. Lacey saw that
the ledge was wide enough to walk on and did not seem to realize
that there was any
special need to hurry.
Father knew he would fall, but he was not as near as Lacey, and before
either got to
him, the boy threw up hs arms and pitched over the precipice.
Father felt that if he
had been as near as Lacey was he could have saved him. As
it was, he struck,
bounded, struck, bounded, two or three times on his downward roll,
then a bush caught
him and prevented his rolling farther. As soon as he saw him
fall, father started
down to get him. He says he never knew how he got down there,
but he did it. The
boy was groaning. Father lay down on his back, laid the boy
right upon himself, and
then slid down on his back the rest of the way, catching at bushes
with each hand as
he slid, till he reached a place where there was a perpendicular
place of a few feet.
There Capt. Lacey came and helped him and the boy down. Then
father took the boy in
his arms and carried him the rest of the way down. Capt. Lacey
was a small man, not
very strong or of special energy.
On reaching the bottom the girl who had wanted to go the wrong way,
spread out a
large shawl she had, and the boy was put on that. She felt
terrible for she thought
it was her fault that it had happened. She stayed with father
and the boy while
father sent the rest to get help. At the top the rest of the
party was staying. One
of the women was the hotel keeper, and she had four Portuguese boys,
or men, whom she
sent down. They took each a corner of the shawl and carried
the boy up. Father
couldn't do that alone. At the top some got on the donkeys
again. Father, the girl
and the four Portuguese with the boy walked down. They travelled,
going faster than
those with the donkeys! Father stopped at the doctor's while
he sent the girl ahead
to tell the boy's mother.
They worked over the boy, but his back was broken. He did not
suffer after the
first, his limbs below the break being paralyzed. He lived
ten days, maybe. He was
very grateful to father and gave him a knife for a keepsake.
They told father they
didn't know what they would have done without him, and he said himself
he didn't know
either. Father's coat was all torn to pieces, and his thighs
for days were terrible
lame. He thinks the boy's father afterward died there.
They were from England, I
think he said.
Years afterward he went there again, and the people told him that
the girl was never
the same afterward. The knife, that the boy gave father, he
kept always, and prized
it very highly."

daughter of Francis
Macy (M8/1.1) and Judith Coffin Macy (C8/1.1), on the "1st, 3rd
month, called March,
1761, according to Nantucket Quaker records.
He became a sea captain and a prominent man in Nantucket, active
in the affairs of
the island. At the inception of the Revolutionary War he took
his ship, the
"Greyhound" to London to escape the naval battles, according to
"History of
Nantucket." [This may have been at the beginning of the War
of 1812.]
Benjamin Hussey (H7/4.4) was a selectman in Sherburne in April 1779.
He and Timothy
Folger were chosen to go to New York and Rhode Island April 9, 1779
to contact the
British forces to seek reparation for damages to the property of
the citizens of
Nantucket by the war and to try to prevent further raids, according
to "Massachusetts
Archives," volume 185, page 109. On June 1, 1779 Benjamin
Hussey (H7/4.4) signed a
petition to the British requesting them to consider Nantucket Island
as neutral. On
September 30, 1779 he was again named on a committee to draw up
the grievances of the
citizens of Nantucket against British raids.
He continued to be a selectman of the town of Sherburne December
1, 1779. He and
Obed Hussey (H8/3.1) were two of the signatories who signed a petition
to the General
Court May 23, 1780 requesting financial assistance. He signed
another petition in
August 1780 addressed to the General Council in Boston requesting
permission for a
ship to go to Philadelphia for flour and bread to relieve the food
shortage on
Nantucket Island. On October 3, 1781 he was appointed to a
committee to go to New
York to request relief from the swarm of refugees who had arrived
on the island from
New York. On December 19, 1781 Benjamin Hussey (H7/4.4) was
a member of a committee
composed of himself, Samuel Starbuck and William Rotch who obtained
the promise of
immunity for Nantucket Island from Admiral Digby, commander-in-chief
of the British
Navy in New York, Sir Henry Clinton and Vice-Admiral Marriot Arbuthnot.
When it became apparent that the Nantucket whaling industry stood
in continual
jeopardy from constant naval battles and raids on their stores many
of the sea
captains made plans to remove--some to the American mainland, some
to Nova Scotia,
some to Milford Haven, Wales and some to Dunkirk, France.
According to an article in "Historic Nantucket" by Kenneth L. Carroll,
"After the war
there was continuing distress, as a result of the heavy duty placed
on American sperm
oil in England [the major market for this product was in lighting
the streetlamps of
London.] Quite naturally there arose the idea of transferring
the whale fishery to
England in order to retain the market and to escape the ruinous
duty."
William Rotch and his son Benjamin Rotch, owner of the largest whaling
operation in
Nantucket, in 1785 went to England in an attempt to remove 100 families
and 30 ships
to England. When they encountered a great deal of "foot dragging"
from the British
government they made an overture to France, and the French government
offered them
far more than they had requested of the British. Consequently
a Nantucket whaling
settlement was made at Dunkirk. Rotch returned to Nantucket
in 1787 and began to
organize the whalers for the move to France. It was not difficult
to persuade the
Quaker fishermen because France had offered them complete religious
freedom.
Benjamin Hussey (H7/4.4) accepted the French proposal immediately
and moved his
operation to Dunkirk in 1787. His ship, the "States" worked
its way over to its new
port, opposite Dover on the English Channel. A certificate
for removal of the
Husseys from Nantucket Monthly Meeting was sent to Ratcliff Monthly
Meeting in London
which had the oversight of the Friends in Normandy. Thus Benjamin
Hussey (H7/4.4)
found himself back in Normandy from whence his ancestors had come
22 generations
earlier, it is believed.
In 1788 a total of 27 Nantucket Quakers, including eight children,
were in residence
at Dunkirk, according to Quaker records. Among them were Benjamin
Hussey (H7/4.4),
at sea; Phebe Macy Hussey (M7/1.1), Isaiah Sherburne Hussey (H6/4.2),
at sea;
Benjamin Hussey (H6/4.6), Edward C. Hussey (H6/4.8), Judith Hussey
(H6/4.3),
Barzillai Hussey (H6/4.4), at sea; Uriah Hussey (H6/4.5), at sea
and Phebe Hussey
(H6/4.9). Seth Hussey (H7/7.9), son of William Hussey (H8/3.7),
was also included in
the 27. George Gorham Hussey (H7/12.3) and his wife Lydia
Chase Hussey (C7/1.1) were
also included, as were Abraham Hussey (H7/9.9), single, at sea and
Eliab Hussey
(H6/2.2), single, at sea, according to the Carroll article.
As the threat of a new war between France and England developed several
of the
Dunkirk whaling colony elected to return to Nantucket for the same
reason that
brought them to France originally. Lydia Chase Hussey (C7/1.1)
returned to Nantucket
in 1794. In 1795 Benjamin Hussey (H7/4.4) wrote to family
members in Nantucket that
they planned to leave Dunkirk for Nantucket, but later changed his
mind. The
dwindling Quaker congregation was meeting in the home of Benjamin
Hussey (H7/4.4) for
worship services in 1797 "with an attendance of about 30 persons,"
according to
Carroll.
On February 12, 1797 William Savery of Philadelphia visited the Dunkirk
Quakers and
recorded in his journal, "2nd month, 12: Attended the meeting of
the little Society
of Friends here, which is held in Benjamin Hussey's house.
It was first-day. The
wife, our landlady, the widow Gardner, Capt. Starbuck, his wife
two little
daughters, an old palsied man by the name of Biddle and his wife."
In 1813 Benjamin Hussey (H7/4.4) and Phebe Macy Hussey (M7/1.1) removed
from Dunkirk
along with their daughter, Mrs. Phebe Hussey West (H6/4.9) to London
and placed their
membership with Southwark Monthly Meeting there. Later in
the year the family
returned to Nantucket after an absence of a quarter century.
Upon his return he
found a smallpox epidemic raging on the island and volunteered to
vaccinate the
island's entire population for $300. The selectmen did not
accept the offer, but
about 1,000 people came voluntarily to Benjamin Hussey (H7/4.4)
for the vaccination,
a few bringing small gifts to compensate him, according to "History
of Nantucket" by
Obed Macy.
Benjamin Hussey (H7/4.4) died "at sea 28th, 4th month, 1820 at the
age of 79 years, 7
months," according to Folger genealogical records. Phebe Macy
Hussey (M7/1.1) died
