This is Kelly`s family tree but I`m interested to see if her ancestors go back to the Huggins in County Cavan Ireland. Why I think there maybe a connection is the carrying down of the christian names, especially Berry & Susan.A lot depends on who were the parents of Berry HUGGINS ( 1853-1937 SC, USA), as Kelly has discovered the mother was RHODA/RHODY .........? born Marion, S.C. about 1830, widowed by 1880 census, age 50.
Rhoda`s husband is a mystery but as their son Berry Huggins was born 2 APRIL 1853, Marion, Sth Carolina, you would think there would be some records of the Huggins family in the Marion records?
There is a lot of info on the familysearch site for this HUGGINS & BRITT family.
Berry HUGGINS; born 2 Apr. 1853, Marion, S.C. US. 1880 census 25 yrs. 1900 US census, Lumberton, widowed. Died 27 Oct 1937, age 84 yrs, buried old Hollywood Cem.
Berry & Melza Huggins in 1920 census, born 1895, age 25, Berry 55. Berry Huggins born 1854, age 65, married Milzie TODD, born 1889, age 30. IGI.
Berry`s second wife; Melzey Fuller, maiden name also given as Milzie TODD.
First wife of BERRY HUGGINS; Charity BRITT, born May 1850/1860? N.C.,Robeson Co.) 1880 census 20 yrs, 1900 census 50 yrs.
Parents 1870 census; JOEL BRITT born 1806 N.C. & SALLY born 1815. They had 10 children, names on familysearch site. There is a Britt Township, so maybe called after the Britt family and have lots of info.
In 1900 census Berry & Charity say they have 8 children, five living, Berry 47, been married 25 yrs.
I have 9 children, so can`t say what is correct info.
9 children of Berry & Charity HUGGINS.
