Looking for information about John C. Huey, born May 1861 in Cherokee County, GA. Married twice, once to Lizzy Hawkins (born Abt. 1861) and then about 1882 he married Martha A. ? (born Oct. 1863). I have his parents, John T. & Drusilla Wilson Huey, and one of his sons, Amos Monroe Huey and Sultie M. Kemp Huey, buried in the Bascomb Methodist Church Cemetery along with many cousins and other ancestors....but John C. Huey is AWOL.



He appears to show up in the 1880 Cherokee County, GA Census as John O. Huey in the home of John T.:

Then again in Cherokee County as head of his own household in the 1900 & 1920 census:

I can't find him after that. I do not know where he is buried.

Any ideas?

Have you got a death date on him?

Nope.

Think he was abducted by aliens?

I firmly believe aliens planted the picked up lots of people here, just to drive us bonkers lol

if he isnt on the 1930 census, given what his age would have been, he was probably dead...now whether he died when the planet tatooine blew up...who's to say


and then....I could be full of crap because this is him isnt it? (right name, right age, right wife, and I can match Clara although she appears to be married to a Charles Darby) cobb county, austell district

source info if you need it

Yep. That looks like his family.

Thanks for the info.

ooh yay someone near me! i know i have seen that name in a cemetery i was at recently.... i frequent cherokee and cobb county cemeteries (photography is a passion).

Howdy, neighbor!

Next time you see a Huey in a Cobb Cemetery, snap a photo for me, please. I have most of the Cherokee Cemeteries covered, but I don't go down to Cobb that often.

sure thing! i would be happy to.

have you used the genealogy rooms in cobb or in canton libraries? since i live right down from the canton library, i went there once and stood in the room trying to figure out where to go first lol but i wanted to try the big georgia room in cobb, i have heard they have lots of great stuff.

Nope. I have Biblio-Narcolepsy. Whenever I go to a library, after ten minutes, I fall asleep...

damn, coffee all over the keyboard
i have exact opposite problem, i get so excited around a large piles of books that i cant figure out what to do - so i usually end up leaving in a daze.

We'd make a great team. You barricaded in the library with piles and piles of books and me running around in cemeteries all over the county. No stone would be unturned!

Now, if there was only a way to make money doing it.

Found him!

John Calhoun Huey
born 4 May 1861 in Cherokee County, GA
died Jan 13 1951 in Cleburne County, AL
Buried in the Pine Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in Heflin, AL

Married once (not twice) to Martha Elizabeth (Lizzie) Hawkins.

Looks like he moved to the Heflin, AL area with part of his family some time after the 1930 census was taken. I'll bet he shows up on the 1940 Census in Cleburne County, AL.
