Christopher Yeoman Hussey.1748. John Hussey
was born in 1570 in Dorking, Surreyshire, England. He died on 24 Jul 1632
in Dorking, Surreyshire, England. He was buried on 24 Jul 1632 in Dorking, Surreyshire,
England. The Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, 1907.
The first authentic account we have of the current family is the record of John
Hussey and Mary Wood, December 5, 1593, when they both were of Dorking, Surrey,
England, and were persons of good position and of moderate estate in lands. John
Husse y died in England, leaving a widow and children. Of the latter the records
are meagre, but there is known to have been a son John, who died young, a son
Christopher and one or more daughters of whom we have no authentic account.
Another source, a Hussey genealogy chart provided by a Hussey descendant, Dorothy
Carter of Waynesville, OH, in 1992, John Hussey died in Dorking on 5 Feb 1630.
