 General Notes:
He lived in York County until about 1805 when he moved to Mount Pleasant,
OH. He didn't fare well there and was drafted into the army a few days
after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent. He was also in the War of
1812.
The Magazine of Western History speaks of Christopher and Lydia Grubb
Hussey:
They were both endowed with many high qualities. The father had a
splendid physical development, was tall and erect in stature, and of
commanding appearance. The mental and moral character of his inward life
was of the finest mold, and fulfilled every outward promise. To the
logical mind and bright intellect of the mother were added force and
energy, which was regulated by gentleness, amiability and the highest
moral principles. The children could desire no better inheritance than
the sweet and nobel qualities of mind and person of their loved and
honored parents.
Source for all children's names, births, and marriages is also from the
Carey text.
Research Notes:
