William Huckaby

1780 - Bef 1855  (< 75 years)

• Name	William Huckaby
  Birth	1780	North Carolina, United States   [1]
  	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.
  Gender	Male
  Census	1840	Pickens, Alabama, United States   [2]
  	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	25 Oct 1850	Pickens, Alabama, United States   [1]
  	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	1851	Pickens, Alabama, United States   [3]
  	When William purchases land in Noxubee County, the deed says he is from Pickens County, Alabama.
  Possessions	1 Nov 1851	Noxubee, Mississippi, United States   [3]
  	purchased 160 acres (W 1/2 SE 1/4 S 22 T 16 R 15) from James P Haynes and wife
  Possessions	1853	Noxubee, Mississippi, United States   [4]
  	Owned 160 acres (W 1/2 NE 1/4, W 1/2 SE 1/4, S 22, T 16 R 15) valued at $800
  	Paid $1.25 tax on his land. Jackson Huckaby owns the NW 1/4 of this section, valued at $1280.
  Death	Bef 3 Dec 1855	Noxubee, Mississippi, United States   [5]
  Probate	3 Dec 1855	Noxubee, Mississippi, United States   [5]
  	Petition to sell real estate to equitably divide it.
  Probate	6 Jul 1857	Noxubee, Mississippi, United States   [6]

• 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.
