Notes:
William Huckaby's probate lists a son of Alpha Huckaby Brown as W.J.K. Brown. Could this be "Curby", Kirby?

Census:
Enumeration:
Free White Male < 5: 1

Free White Male 20-29: 1
Free White Female < 5: 1

No slaves
This would point toward Wm & Alpha begin on the upper end of the 20-29
Census:
Census says he is 42 and born in South Carolina
Census:
William is enumerated as 51 years old, from South Carolina, a farmer with $3200 in real estate and $12800 in personal estate.
His apparent wife (Mary, aged 30) may not be the Arapha / Alpha Huckaby from before, since they married in about 1828. This could indicate Alpha died and he has remarried. It could also indicate his younger children are by the second wife. Also, Mary (age 30) could be his eldest
Also listed in this census are
Mary (age 30, 2nd wife?)
I. L. (male, age t10, could be Alonzo)
Hariel (female, age 6)
Tody (female, age 4)
Next door, there is a W.M. Huckaby enumerated, age 35.William married Arapha Huckaby about 1828 in South Carolina, United States. Arapha (daughter of William Huckaby and Elizabeth) was born about 1810 in South Carolina, United States; died before Jul 1857 in Noxubee, Mississippi, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
3. Arapha Huckaby was born about 1810 in South Carolina, United States (daughter of William Huckaby and Elizabeth); died before Jul 1857 in Noxubee, Mississippi, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
- Name: Alpha Huckaby
- _AMTID: 162500786383:1030:191555462

- Census: 4 Nov 1850, Pickens, Alabama, United States
- Residence: Jul 1857, Noxubee, Mississippi, United States
Notes:
Her name is hard to read. In her father's probate case, it looks kind of like Arapha, but appears it was Alpha.
Census:
Inferred
Census:
Listed as 40 years old and from South Carolina.Notes:
Married:
Based on the ages of the children in the census, I suspect they were married around 1828. It seems like the rest of the family was born & married in South Carolina and then moved to Alabama.Children:

Notes:
In William's estate, it lists his heirs. Generally, when the heirs are grandchildren, it lists the parent so that the shares match. But given there are 30 years between the oldest and youngest children, could the younger ones actually be grandchildren? Is there a possible reading of either William's or Elizabeth's estate that could hint at this?
It appears that there may be another son, Anderson, who died before William but left no surviving spouse or children.
Birth:
It is interesting that William and Elizabeth are listed as born in NC rather than SC. Most of the Huckabys and allied families seem to have come from SC. Not sure about Robert, the presumed father of William.
Census:
Enumeration:
Free White Male 10-14: 1
Free White Male 15-19: 1
Free White Male 60-69: 1
Free White Female 15-19: 1
Free White Female 50-59: 1
Slaves Male < 10: 3
Slaves Male 10-23: 1
Slaves Female < 10: 1
Slaves Female 10-23: 1
William is enumerated as William Huckaby Sen, just a few lines down from William Huckaby. There is also another William S Huckaby in the county (as wel as Wade Huckaby).
This indictes that he was born between 1770-1780, so the 1780 from the 1850 Census is reasonable. However, having children who are only 10-15 years old seems unlikely.
Census:
Census lists him as 70 years old, born in NC, owning $400 of real estate.
But an age of 57 calls into question William B. Huckaby as a son since he is enumerated as 57 years old in that same census. If he is a son, I would have expected an age around perhaps 47 instead of 57.
Residence:
When William purchases land in Noxubee County, the deed says he is from Pickens County, Alabama.
Possessions:
Paid $1.25 tax on his land. Jackson Huckaby owns the NW 1/4 of this section, valued at $1280.
Probate:
Petition to sell real estate to equitably divide it.
