man John Hussey Sr.‏‎, son of Captain Christopher Hussey and Theodate Bachiler (Batchelder)‏.
Born ‎29 Feb 1635 Lynn Essex Ma, died ‎Aug 1707 New Castle De‎, 72 years. Occupation: Quaker preacher
John Hussey was baptized “the last day of ye last mo: Ao 1635” (most likely to be 28 Feb 1635 due to the change from Julian to Gregorian calendar) in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, the son of Christopher Hussey and Theodate Bachiler. John married Rebecca Perkins 2 September 1659. Rebecca was the daughter of Isaac Perkins and Susannah —. The Husseys were Quakers.
They moved to Hampton, Norfolk, Massachusetts (now Rockingham County, New Hampshire). John was a Quaker preacher. He owned Nonesuch plantation, was a yeoman(farmer) and a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1696. There, the Husseys were fined in 1663 and 1664 for not attending church meetings and in 1668 for working on a fast day (these were Puritan observances, not Quaker). In 1670, John was again fined for not attending meetings and for “using reproachful speeches against Mr. Cotton and his doctrine”. John was appointed a Representative in 1692 but refused to take the oath of office (taking oaths being against Quaker tenets) and was refused the office.
In 1671, John’s father gave his Nantucket lands to John and his brother Stephen but John later sold his interest in the island to Stephen. In 1688, the family moved to Newcastle, Newcastle, Delaware, where John “was a preacher to the Quakers”. In 1696, he served as a Representative, being being required to make an oath in his new home. John was appointed a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1696 (Quakers there were not required to take an oath of office.) John’s will was dated 8 May 1707

John and Rebecca moved to Newcastle, Newcastle, Delaware, in 1692. While in Hampton, they lived in the part of town which is now Seabrook, N.H. Noyes, Libby, Davis, "Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire," (1939), p. 364; Sanborn and Sanborn, "Vital Records of Hampton, New Hampshire, to the End of the Year 1900," (1992), pp. 74 and 556 (marriage of John to Rebecca); Anderson, Robert Charles, "The Great Migration Begins," (1995), v. 2, p. 1050, for the fact that John was baptised on "the last day of the last month," ( 29 Feb 1635(/6?) ). Anderson points out that the day of the month depends on the interpretation of the double-date, since 1636 was a leap year. The exact language of Hampton's vital records cited by Anderson are, "John. the sonne of Christophr Hussey & Theodata his wife was baptized at Lin, on the last day of ye last mo: Ao 1635."
