There is a story of three Husted brothers, James, David and George, who came from England in 1804, setteling in Patterson, New Jersey. All three brothers and their descendents later moved to different areas of this country.
James Husted was in the Kansas City, Missouri area and his son James D. Husted settled in Colorado and had the Husted Land and Cattle Company. Husted, Colorado was the Post Office there, named for James D. Husted
David Husted stayed in the east and had five sons; Harrison, Calvin Richmond, Hosea, William and Charles Woodruff Husted. Some descendents of David Husted lived in Madison, Wisconsin. Charles W. Husted lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and had two sons; Edward and Paul Stanger Husted. Paul Husted had a daughter Gladys G. Husted who never married and in 1958 was living with her mother in Williamstown, New Jersey. Calvin Husted went to Colorado having two sons and three daughters; Herbert, Walter, Frances, Grace and a daughter who died young.
The third brother, George Husted came to live in Ohio at what is now the villiage of Hustead, located between Springfield and Yellow Springs in Clark County, Ohio. George apparently gave one of his buildings to the government to use, known as the Hustead Post Office with the villiage of Hustead growing around it. There is a cemetery here named the Ebenezer - Husted Cemetery which is the resting place for the family of Joseph Newcomb Husted. This cemetery is located near Collier Road. George Husted was married to Matilda Collier. Their children were; Anne, James Ladley, Benjamin and David Husted, all born in Hustead, Ohio. James Ladley Husted and his wife Sarah May had nine children. One son, Shepard Newcomb Husted, was a famous guide for Estes Park in Colorado. Another relative was Stanley N. Husted, a well known attorney and prosecutor in Clark County, Ohio. More information on some members of this family from Hustead, Ohio is available.
The 1804 immigration story of these three brothers may be questionable. Many of the names seem to exactly match those of families who were living in New Jersey, all descended from our ancestor Robert Husted. In particular, Joseph Newcomb Husted who was a son of Moses Husted and his wife Content Newcomb.
Joseph Newcomb Husted and wife Hanna Jenkins are listed with eleven children ; David, James, Newcomb, George, Phebe, Ann W., Matilda, Jeremiah, Content, Ruth and Rachel Husted. No positive proof but some "daughters" could be wives of sons. Those buried with Joseph Newcomb Husted and his wife Hannah Jenkins are; David Jenkins, Phebe Husted, Ruth Husted, Newcomb Husted, George Husted, Mary Ann Husted, Mary Jane Husted. The headstones of Joseph, Hannah, David, Phebe, Ruth and Newcomb are the same style, while the stones for George, Mary Ann and Mary Jane are of a different style, and from the dates, Mary Jane is the daughter of George and Mary Ann Husted.
If there is anyone who has information to add or corrections to this story ?

Family researchers have not found to whom Walter Hustis is related to. Along with Walter Hustis in 1707, the only other known Husted owning land in this area of Salem County, New Jersey was Moses Husted b.1659, the son of Angell Huested Sr. Moses was deeded 16 acres of land in Salem County, New Jersey on October 24, 1697. Walter Hustis and Moses Husted [and or their families] may have been the first or only Husted's in New Jersey at this point of time.

The Husted's of my family will be up-dated when possible.

MY DIRECT FAMILY LINE and INFORMATION:

Robert; Angell; Moses; David; Reuben; Reuben; Adin; Issac; LeRoy Husted.

Moses Husted Born 1659 - Died

Moses Husted was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, the son of Angell Husted [ Huested ] and Rebecca Sherwood. By October 24,1696, Moses held a deed of sixteen acres of land in Salem County, New Jersey, from Jeremiah Beacon. Moses Husted, along with Captain Joseph Seeley are said to have founded the first settlement in what is now Fairfield Township, Cumberland County, New Jersey. Whom he married, his date or place of death, and any children other than sons Moses and David are unknown so far.
[ Moses was about 37 years old when he purchased land in New Jersey, and was he was 51-53 years old when his sons David and Moses were born. In my opinion it's possible that he was married more than once with other children younger than David and Moses.

David Husted Born 1713 - Died 03/1775

David Husted was born in Fairfield Township, Cumberland County, New Jersey, the son of Moses Husted and his Unknown Wife. David married Priscilla Ann Whiticar and they lived in the area of Fairton in New Jersey. David and Priscilla were members of the Fairfield Presbyterian Church [Old Stone Church]. David died in March of 1775, his will is dated March 15, 1775, and was proved on April 06/1775. David's wife Priscilla was born about 1726, and died about 1762, in Fairton, New Jersey. Both are buried in the "Old Stone Church Cemetery".

Reuben Husted Born 1755 - Died 05/14/1827

Reuben Husted was the son of David Husted and Priscilla Ann Whiticar, in the area of Fairton, Cumberland County, New Jersey. Reuben married Ruth Johnson on April 16, 1778, and established a home near Fairton or Cedarville, in Cumberland County. From the best information so far, eight children were born, apparently four being lost in infancy. Reuben served in the Revolutionary War, at the battles of Trenton and Princeton, and on April 16, 1818, at the age of sixty-three, he was granted a pension as a veteran of the Revolutionary War. Reuben died 0n May 14, 1827, in Cedarville, and was buried in the Old Stone Church Cemetary in Fairton, New Jersey. After legislation was approved allowing war widows to draw a pension, his wife Ruth Johnson, at the age of 86, was granted a widows pension on July 25, 1843. Ruth probably died in Cedarville, the exact place and date unknown so far.

REUBEN HUSTED Jr. Born 12/08/1778 - Died after 1856

Reuben Husted Jr. was born on December 8, 1778, in the area of Cedarville, Fairfield Township, Cumberland County, New Jersey, the son of Reuben Husted Sr. [b.1755], and Ruth Johnson [b.1757].
Reuben may have had three marriages, first to Sally Montgomery on October 4, 1803, later a second marriage, and a third to Mary Kellough between 1830 and 1840.
The 1803 marriage of Reuben to Sally Montgomery is curious since the 1830 New Jersey census lists Sally as between 30 and 39 years of age, making her born about 1790. This would have her married at 12 or 13 years of age, along with Reuben, born in 1778 being about 25 years old. Children born to Reuben and Sally were: Mathias -1799, Daniel -1801, Reuben 3rd. -1805, Sarah - 1807. Records of the Presbyterian Church of Fairton New Jersey show the death of "Daughter of Reuben Husted on July 18, 1811". The first two birth dates of Mathias and Daniel do not seem to fit with the marriage date of Reuben and Sally. Aden -August 8, 1822, Nathan -May 1, 1823, John -1828 and Charles -June 10, 1831 have the appearance from their birth dates of being from a second marriage. There is an obvious 15 year gap between the birth of Sarah in 1807 and Aden in 1822, which suggests that there was another possible marriage.
The 1830 census of Fairfield Township, Cumberland County, New Jersey gives a listing of Reuben Jr., wife Sally and four sons, Aden, Nathan, John and Charles. At this time Mathias, Daniel, Reuben 3rd. and Sarah were easily of age and had probably left the family home.

Sometime between 1830 and 1840 the marriage of Reuben Husted and Sally Montgomery ended or Sally passed away, and in this time frame, Reuben married Mary Kellough [b.1789-d.1866].

The 1840 census for this area of New Jersey does not list Reuben Jr., or his family because Reuben and his family had moved to the area of Bainbridge in Ross County, Ohio. The 1840 Census for Twin Township, in Ross County, Ohio does show Reuben Jr., with his wife Mary and four sons. One son is between the age of 5 and 10, [Charles], two sons are between the age of 10 and 15, [Nathan and John], and one son is between the age of 15 and 20. [Aden]. Reuben is listed as between the age of 60 and 70, while his wife Mary is shown between 50 and 60 years of age.
The 1850 Ross County, Ohio Census for the town of Bainbridge, in Paxton Township has "Reuben age 72, occupation none; Mary age 71, and one son Adin age 27, occupation chairmaker. The place of birth given for Reuben, wife Mary, and son Adin is " New Jersey." Reuben's wife, Mary Kellough could have been from, or may have had relatives in Ohio. Families with the Kellough name were allready living in areas of Bainbridge and Ross County, Ohio.

This concerns Reuben Jr.,'s father Reuben Husted [b.1755].
Abstracts of Revolutionary War Files:
"Soldier applied April 16, 1818 in Cumberland Co., New Jersey. Married Ruth Johnson April 16, 1778, both were of Fairfield Twp. in Cumberland Co. Soldier died there on May 14, 1827. Widow applied there on July 15, 1843 aged 86. Soldier and wife had eight children. Son Reuben was born December 8, 1778 and in 1843 he had recently moved to Ohio from Fairfield Twp., New Jersey. A son Daniel [ 4th child ] was born September 21, 1787 and in 1843 was living in Fairfield Twp., New Jersey. A son Ebenezer was aged 20 in 1820 and a daughter Violetta was 13 in 1820. A grandson Daniel was aged 6 in 1821 and living with soldier. Charles Johnson of Cumberland Co., New Jersey was mentioned in 1778 but no relationship was stated." After Congress approved legislation allowing war widows to draw a pension, at the age of eighty-six, Ruth Johnson was granted a widows pension on July 25, 1843. Her application stated that the year of her birth was 1757.

Sometime between the years 1830 and 1840, Reuben moved from Fairfield Township in Cumberland County, New Jersey to the area of Bainbridge, Twin Township in Ross County, Ohio, and any reasons for the move, or why he chose the Ross County area are unknown, as is the date and where Reuben Husted Jr. married Mary Kellough.

One family story about Reuben Husted was related by a 2nd cousin, "Husted". He told of an auction in Ross County, Ohio, in which Reuben sold all the family goods. Supposedly he also tried to sell his wife, Mary [Kellough] and apparently a son or son's either kept her out of the auction, or bought her before someone else could. Other family stories say Reuben's son Adin bought her and never allowed Reuben around her again.
Another Husted "cousin" had a similiar story about Reuben Husted. "What I know and have been told about the Husted Family". Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother: Ruben and Pet Husted was their names. My great grandfather's name was Ruben. He was a very cruel man. He sold my great grandmother at public auction, when he had a sale. My Grandfather, Adin, bought her and never allowed great grandfather to live with her after that. But before this sale, he would come home often drunk and would drag great grandmother around the house by her hair, of course all women wore long hair at that time. Her sons sometimes would hide her in the tool chest when they knew their father was drunk. I think great grandfather must have been a cave man--ha. To this union was born 3 sons that I know of - Namely : Isaac, John and Adin.
According to various other family descendants, Reuben was a "rough individual, who was prone to a drink, and was not overly kind to anyone, especially his wife or children". At times, his wife Mary [Kellough ], who was also known as "Pet Husted", was hidden for protection.

Strange that Mary [Pet] Husted's sons protect her, yet, after "Reuben's Sale", three of his sons left Ohio in 1856, and Mary lived out her life in the home of her son Adin. The other sons, Nathan, John, and Charles, who lived and married in Ross County, Ohio, were living near the town of Marshall, Clark County, Illinois in 1856, never returning or making contact with the family in Ohio. Some of their descendants were in the apple orchard business and at one time the father of the musician Burl Ives worked for them in the orchards. Family stories say Reuben himself may have moved to Illinois, and is buried, some family think, in the Danville, Illinois area. So far, no one has been able to provide exact information on Reuben's place of death, the date, or a place of burial. His wife, Mary Kellough, is buried at the Bishop Hill Cemetary in Ross County, Ohio, and her gravestone states that: "Mary, wife of Reuben died January 19, 1866, aged 77 years 9 months 24 days." By 1860, there is no trace of Reuben, or Mary in the Ross County Ohio census, even though Mary was supposedly living with her son Aden.

Nathan married Mary Willis 12/02/1847 in Chillicothe, Ohio, with a daughter Josephine. Mary Willis passed away and in Illinois, on 4/21/1856, Nathan married Mary Stockwell, and they had children, John, Thomas, and Mary.
John married Jacqulien Griffin 03/08/1849 in Ross County,Ohio with children Ella, Claude, Alice, and Ullrich. Some descendants related to Claude Husted later moved to Michigan.
Charles married Elizabeth Lawson, with a son Grant Husted.

Located in Ross County, Ohio, close to Bainbridge, the headstone of "Mary, wife of Reuben" does not give any information concerning her husband Reuben, only her death in 1866. There does not appear to be any un-marked graves near Mary.

ADIN HUSTED Born 08/05/1822 - Died 12/27/1905

Adin and his wife Sarah Pummill were farmers, and after ca. 1856, Adin's mother Mary [Kellough] lived with them, [away from her husband Reuben], until her passing. Adin and Sarah, in their later years, were living on Potts Hill Rd, near Nipgen, in Ross County, Ohio. Pictures of their home ca.1895 and pictures taken nearly 100 years later, reveal new windows and roof, but the basic home is there.

ISSAC HUSTED Born 12/21/1852 - Died 06/27/1934

Issac Husted and his first wife Martha Penniston lived near Nipgen, Ohio, with their two children, Edward and Nora. Ed Husted married Martha Jane Shoemaker. Nora passed away in her early 30's. There is a a picture of a Gladys Husted who may be a sister of Ed Husted or Ed husted's son Melvin?? At a time around 1890, Issac came home to find Martha had passed away, and he later married Minnie May Bayhan, daughter of Gilead Bayhan M.D. of Pike County, Ohio, with children Hazel, Marion, and Roy.

LEE ROY HUSTED Born 06/17/1896 - Died 09/09/1980

Lee Roy Husted was one of the children of Isaac Husted, and married Anna G. Dunlap. Roy was a veteran of World War One, and survived the influenza outbreak of 1917 - 1918. He told me that he was at Camp Sherman in Chillicothe,Ohio, during the winter and there was no room for him in a barricks with so many soldiers being sick. Along with others, he had a cot outside and many blankets to hopefully stay warm. He thought being outside in fresh air helped him survive, as many other soldiers died. Later, in the 1930's and 40's, in Springfield,Ohio, Roy raised his family on a farm, and used other available land in the area for truck farming. Starting in the late 1940's, Lee Roy was building homes around the northern city limits of Springfield,Ohio. The Dunlap family apparently came from Ireland in the early 1800's. My grandmother, Anna G. Dunlap, was born in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and her mother worked as a maid on the Whithall Farm near the city limits of Yellow Springs, Ohio. Somewhere between Yellow Springs, and Bainbridge, Ohio, they met.
