Name:
William Huse and his brother Thomas were granted land near Contoocook, NY., in 1739 for services as soldiers in the expedition against Canada in 1690 (Currier).

Notes:

Name:
Abel Huse, who was born about 1602, probably in Wiltshire, England, came with his wife ELEANOR to Newbury, Massachusetts, not later than 1635. His name is on the monument to "fist settlers' which stands near the banks of the Parker river where the fist landing was made....

Abel Huse died 29 march 1690. His will, dated 7 March 1690, was proved 30 September 1690 and is today filed away in Vol. 49 page 99 of the Essex Court archives, Salem.....

The fact that Abel Huse signed his will with a cross does not mean that he was illiterate, for his signature appears on a number of old papers, but he was a very old man and was on his death-bed when his will was written. ...

Abel Huse and mary Hilton (widow Sears) had eight children. Ruth, the eldest, married John Brown, grandson of Thomas Brown who came over in the ship JAMES from Southampton 5 april 1635. they left sons and daughters whose descendants tell today the story of the Indian attack on Turkey Hill and how narrowly their line missed extinction.

Nothing appears to be known of Sarah Huse, the fifth child, nor of Ebenezer, a girl, the eight child, except that they were mentioned in their father's will in 1690 and were therefore doubtless living at that time.

Abel married Mary HILTON on 25 May 1663 in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. Mary was born in 1635; died on 28 Oct 1699 in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

WILLIAM HILTON

Mary Hilton alias Downer who married Thomas Sears and Abel Huse has sometimes been placed in this family, but she had children at an age far too advanced to be the mary Hilton, daughter of William, who was baptized in 1619. Her parentage remains a mystery.
