Isaac HUSK

Male 1846 - 1928  (82 years)

Personal Information    |    Media    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Isaac HUSK 
    Born 13 Apr 1846  [1, 2] 
    • Birth previously reported as Feb 11 1846 in Greene Co, PA. But his West Virginia death certificate specifies his birth as Apr 13 1846 in "Whetzel Co Va," now Wetzel Co, WV. His age at death, given as 82y 0m 18d, conforms to that birth date. But in the death record maintained at Calhoun County, which does not specify a birth date, his age at death is given as 82y 2m 18d, which would put his birth date at Feb 13 1846. The 1900 Census also states his birth date as Apr 1846. Validity of his Wetzel County birthplace is unclear, since all other members of this family are thought to have been born in Greene Co, PA. Informant for the death certificate was Cordelia Husk Boggs, his youngest daughter.

    Notes 
    • The second daughter of Isaac & Rachel West Husk, Dorcas Emma Husk Carpenter, died in childbirth with her fourth child, a son Boyd, who also died shortly afterwards. Her three remaining children were taken in by Isaac & Rachel, who raised their three granddaughters as their own children. This left Emma's widower, Lewis Johnson Carpenter, free to marry his wife Emma's first cousin, Eunice Ann Coon (daughter of Isaac's sister Jane), also a recent widow.
