  Christopher Hussey was born in Blount Co., Tennessee, on June 12, 1794. When he was about 12 years of age, his family moved to Greene Co., Ohio, and settled near what is now Bowersville. He acquired his education in the old log school about 3 miles from his home, sitting upon the slab seat and resting his feet on the puncheon (split-log] floor. He walked the 3-mile distance each day, and studied his lessons by light which came through greased paper windows. The room was heated by an immense fireplace that occupied nearly all of one endwall of the building. At 18 he put books aside, ceased to attend school, and began working full-time for his father. His schooling up to this time had been meager, in fact he worked so steadily in the fields that perhaps his entire attendance at school may have covered only a year. So meager had been his education that after driving hogs to market in Cincinnati, he was unable to figure the profits. He took control of the farm after the death of his father in 1812, continuing to cultivate and improve the 1125 acres until his own death in 1872 or 1873.
  On January 13, 1820 he married Margaret Haughey of Greene Co. They had nine children. (Other sources list eleven.) Margaret died in November 1837. Christopher married again in 1838, to Catherine Lockhart of Silver Creek Twp., Greene Co. They had ten children. Catherine died November 4, 1900.
  When the farm of 2700 acres of land was purchased by his father, it was worth $1 per acre. During the time of his grandson, Joseph Hussey, the property was worth $100 per acre. Following division among the heirs and by sale, the farm was reduced to 140 acres when Joseph took over.
  Christopher died March 8, 1872 or 1873. George F. Robinson's "History of Greene County, Ohio" gives the date of death as 8 March 1873 and burial in the Hussey graveyard.
