Re: Veazey Husbands kids

My Harmon Husband(s) was born in Tennessee abuot 1806. He died in 1880 in Missouri. HIs wife was Martha Young, born 1810. She died in 1909 and was living with a daughter in St.Louis with the last name van Sandt. She was the daughter of a very important pioneer of the Oregon Trail. Her father is written up extensively in the history of Oregon. Their famil was from Ohio. There is even a website devoted to her father. The website is attached to the Oregon Historical Society.

Harmon was from Tennessee. But little is known about his family. I believe he is the son of Veazy who was also the son of a Veazy--the one killed at Kings Mountain during the American Revolution. The family were originally Quakers, but eventually associated with the United Brethrens, Baptists and Methodists. The second Veazy apparently had a Bible with his children listed but not with the names--I have found only one passing reference to this and sent an email off to the concerned party with no answer. Anyway the geography fits, the religion fits and the dates fit, as do the oral history from my grandfather and my father. Actual documentation is however lacking, so a professional genealogist would find this to be a weak link. I am lucky that I only have two of these weak links, but the connection between the 1812 Vet Veazy and my Harmon is one of them as far and written documentation is concerned.I accept thislink as provisionally true that Veazy junior was my Harmon's father. This Veazy also fought in the 1812 was and is listed with the 1812 veterans.

Hamrmon and Martha's son was Christopher Columbus Husbands. His wife was Martha Agrelda (Serelda) Miles. thier daughter was Mary Jane Husband, my biological grandmother. The Miles also intermarried with families who were of Cherokee descent. I had this checked out with DNA tests.

Other names in related families are Jordon, Bradley (also intermarried with Cherokee), Walker, Mayfield. All these families were together in KY and NC and fought in the Rev. War. Most were at Kings Mountain. See the book THE OVERMOUNTAIN MEN. They all came to Illinois about the same time.Even though they had Quaker roots, they joined the Baptist of Dunkard or United Brethernmovements in Illinois. Keep in touch Fredrich Louis Ulrich.
