Elizabeth Jane CRITCHFIELD

1825 - 1890  (64 years)

• Name	Elizabeth Jane CRITCHFIELD
  Birth	17 Mar 1825	Greene Co, PA   [1, 2]
  Gender	Female
  Census	1870, 1880	Southwest District, Doddridge Co, WV
  Death	17 Feb 1890	Doddridge Co, WV   [1]
  Burial	Hart Cemetery, Taylor Drain Rd, Oxford, Doddridge Co WV   [3]
  Notes	Some question exists as to her correct first name. Although widely believed to have been Sarah, evidence seems more to indicate Elizabeth. In either event, she was known almost exclusively only by her middle name, Jane. Her name was given as Jane in the 1870 Census, and even her headstone identifies her only as "Jane, wife of Isaac Husk." The death record of Isaac Newton Husk incorrectly lists his parents as Isaac Husk and Jane Whetlatch [sic], confusing his mother with his grandmother, Sarah Whitlatch.

In the 1900 Census of Doddridge County, Isaac Husk was listed in the household of son George and was described as 81, b. Mar 1819 in Pa, father b. in (blank), mother b. in Pa, widowed. The exact history of the original charcoal of the widely-distributed formal portrait of the elderly Isaac Husk has not been determined. However, it is known that it was handed down to his grandson Walter "Shiner" Husk. Per Shiner's instructions, upon his death in 1993, it was in turn passed down to Isaac's great-grandson Samuel D. Gaston. Following Sam's death in 2012, it was handed down to his nephew and Isaac's g-g-grandson, Renee L. Brown, with whom Sam had collaborated on this genealogy for so many years.
