Emily Hulsey Sources

 MY Go-To SOURCES

Hulsey website DISAPPEARS

I discovered it was missing on 28 Jan 2025

Hulsey, Head and Huff Families in North Georgia

Once again, a huge family website with research accumulated / assimilated together has once again disappeared from the internet.
Their research was substantial, and I will forever use them as one of my sources. Makes it tough with challenges.
 I did however fine a tree on Ancestry by William Huff 1941 I would think that this is a direct family member.
With this last name, I would think that he made a ‘rough’ tree from the information…which is now defunct.
 List of this website…no longer accessible….all are the same website

Emily M Hulsey 1862 - 1933 History Sheet

 

Emily M Hulsey History Sheet

1862 - 1933

                                                     

Emily M Hulsey was born on 6 July 1862 in Spring Place, Murray County, Georgia. She was the sixth child of ten children born to Jefferson Parks Hulsey and Sarah E. (Haney) Hulsey. This was a difficult time in American history as the Civil War began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. It escalated from there. Her father had already enlisted in the Georgia Infantry.

After the war when Emily was 8 years old, the family lived in Dalton in the Milita District # 872 in Whitfield County, Georgia. She is listed as Margaret E Hulsey. (My source was her daughter, Maude Emma King. Maude always called her Emily Melissa Hulsey. Maude was our family historian, and I knew her and interviewed her for family history.) Emily is listed as Margaret E Hulsey in some censuses.

When Emily was 17 years old, the family had moved to Ball Ground, Murray, Georgia. Listed in 1880 census: Jefferson 52, Sarah 56, Smith 22, Sarah Jane 20, Emily 17, Caroline 15, Francis 13, Thomas 12, Lydia C 9. Three more children are also listed: Mary 13, Sarah Louvenia 12, Julia 10. These girls were the daughters of Pleasant Andrew Hulsey (Emily’s oldest brother) and his wife Lydia Sarah Junkins Hulsey. Pleasant and Lydia both died in 1870 along with an infant child, Lydia who had just been born. Jefferson and Sarah took in these orphan children, so Emily would have known them like sisters. In fact, Emily and Sarah Louvenia would eventually marry brothers from the King family. Emily M Hulsey married William Lazarus King, son of John King (1804-1884) and Ava Rilla (Hood) King. Sarah Louvenia Hulsey married James Alexander King who was also the son of John King and Ava Rilla.

On 19 Jan 1882 in Dennis, Georgia, Emily married William Lazarus King (1859-1949). This union produced 14 children.

In 1890 (no census records), Maude retold the story of Emily and William’s move to Erath County, Texas. With 6 children in a covered wagon the family relocated to Erath County where another child was born. By 1900, Emily and William had moved to Moody, McLennan County, Texas. They eventually moved and settled in Taylor County, Texas. Their daughter Maude recounted her journey with her father to find a place for them to live near Abilene, Texas.

After Emily and William moved to Texas, they had 2 more children, Rufus Burleson King and Edna Jewell King. They lived eventually lived in Tye, Taylor County, Texas, a small community which would be located where what would become Dyes Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas.

Emily M King passed away on 5 July 1933 after suffering a stroke.

May God Use Me For Good

                         Writing My Own Devotionals By Nancy Quillin Long           

                                     

Back early in retirement I was reading a devotional every day, which often made me look differently at things in my world. I could see parallels all around me. God was speaking to me from the natural world and by the people who surround me.

I began to write devotionals about this God’s majestic world.

I came across this journal book that I had begun (2009) and now find the urgency to place my thoughts in a more secure place.  

Jan 2010
May God Use me For Good

Philippians 1:6  Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Much like the wonder of God’s grace – Jesus was sent to carry our burdens

The wonder of things seen through the eyes of a child are sometimes the very things that are burdens to adults. In the olden days, every resource was valuable, and nothing was wasted. My mother’s clothes were homemade, and her underwear were made from flour sacks. She was raised during the Great Depression. The discarded fabric scraps were never wasted but were sown into delicate patterns as a quilt top. Everyone of us could recognize a special piece in the quilt. We were all part of that special pattern. *

When Mother was a small girl in rural north Texas, the men would work the fields in the morning and return for the noon time meal. Once they were fed, the men returned to the fields for the remainder of the day. Once the dishes were cleared, the womenfolk which included neighbors, relatives, and friends, would gather to work on the current quilt. A frame which was suspended from the ceiling would be lowered and all the women would work around the edges to quilt by hand as they attached the batting to the quilted piece. As a child, Mother loved resting on the underside of this huge workspace, watching with intrigue the hands of each individual as they weaved the needles in and out, up and down, and around. She admired the different techniques. These women had the ultimate goal of finishing a treasured blanket which would bring needed comfort during cold winter nights. It was a time when the ladies could socialize and as the voices droned on, a child underneath found awe in this seemingly simple task; these tasks that were at times heavy burdens for mothers and fathers. Yet a child would look on with utter contentment not fully understanding the responsibility these women faced in their daily lives.

This is much like the burden that Jesus Christ carried as he died on the cross for our sins

*It certainly brings the quilt full circle to realize how much I was loved, recognized as being valuable, giving me a sense of ultimate functionality and the ability to lean on one another as we must lean on God to carry our burdens.

Dear Lord, Make each day the same for me in that I will find comfort in your words. Let me recognize the value of living my life for you, that you may use me as an instrument in your hands so that others may see Jesus through me.

Creed Quillen, son of Teague VI

 Proof of Creed Quillen, the lineage of distant cousin Jenny Kidd. She has done excellent research, and she, too, follows my Teague theory (Teague 1615 < Daniel 1638 < Teague II 1669 < Teague III 1715 < Teague IV 1744 < Teague V 1772.

As I have said at the beginning of my Quillin research, there are two ways to trace this lineage. Some trees will trace our Teague V > Teague IV 1744 < Teague III 1715 < Thomas 1691 < Thomas 1669 < Daniel 1634 < immigrant Teague 1615.

EITHER WAY, IT ARRIVES AT THE SAME PLACE.

Yet ANOTHER Teague - Teague VI

Teague Quillin VI, son of my Teague Quillin V

 

Teague Quillin V married Mary Polly Sanders in 1819. They were married in Floyd County, Kentucky. They had 4 sons: Henry 1823, William 1825, James 1826, and TEAGUE QUILLIN VI. 

This is NOT my lineage because my ancestors were through Teague Quillin V and Margaret Peggy Nation. My line was through their son, John W Quillin who married Rebecca Lawson. 

I'm adding this information because of all the confusion with the name Teague.

I have DNA connections with the children of Teague VI and find it imperative to leave information about his marriage to Jane Gibson, as that is often confused with Jean, Jane...etc.

Jenny Kidd did much research on the ground in Kentucky and found substantial documentation. I will not delve far into this line but will leave the certificates that Jenny found. 

Teague VI was born to Teague V and Mary Sanders  in 1831. He was their last child before her death in 1826. Teague Quillin VI married Jane Gibson in Letcher County, Kentucky on 9 Jan 1848. 

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyletch/marriages/groom.htm Leagin Quillen married Jane Gibson. Joseph Craft officiated.

They had 8 children. The first two were adopted sons, Asbury 1842, and William 1847. Their biological children were: Sarah 1851, Nancy 1853, Creed 1859, Abraham 1862, Rollia 1864, Teagne 1867. 

In 1850, Teague VI is 19 and married to Jane Gibson age 22. Her mother Sarah Gibson age 65 is living with them. Teague VI's father, Teague V age 78 is living next door with his young bride, Jane Collier.
