Huddleston Family Home Page
The picture below is my great grandfather Elbert Elam Huddleston.


I am researching Robert Huddleston of Spotsylvania County, Virginia who was born in 1690(1694) died 1739(according to the February 11, 1739 source entry and Lds data, which must of been noted after the fact of his death) and who was the father of Constable Robert Huddleston of Spotsylvania County, Virginia. He may of been born from one of the earlier counties, New Kent or Henrico. Constable Robert Huddleston born 1720 and an Elizabeth Carter born 1723 of the Parish, married at the Berkely Parish in 1739. From studying the entry of 1773 and the wording of the entry and LDS entry we find that Robert Huddleston had a wife name Elizabeth who was born in 1723 of Spotsylvania County. According to the LDS data they were married in Berkely Parish in 1739.The source entry Jan 10, 1773 confirms the relationship of Robert Huddleston having a son Robert Huddleston born 1743 and the December 1750 shows the relationship of Constable Robert Huddleston to his son, Robert Huddleston, Jr, as well as the relationship of Elizabeth Carter's father, Joseph Carter, which was Constable Robert Huddleston's father-in-law. Constable Robert Huddleston born 1720 died in 1774 so any entry of Robert Huddleston deceased before that date refers to the elder Robert Huddleston. John Huddleston born 1742 is the heir-in-law and the oldest son. Thomas Huddleston born 1748 is the youngest son and the one who married Millie Tanner. So Robert Huddleston born 1720 had three sons-John, Robert and Thomas. We know that Robert and Thomas were Revolutionary war heroes. Thomas Huddleston born 1748 had nine kids: Samuel about 1764, Thomas about 1766, Mary Polly about 1787, William about 1790, Simon 1762, John C 1784, Wiley W 1777, Thomas Charles(my line)1778 and Jarriot Tanner. Martha Tanner was born in Amelia Co VA abt 1775. Martha died abt 1865 in TN or MS. Thomas Charles Huddleston born 1778 of Raleigh Parish, Amelia County, Virginia married Martha Patsy Tanner(also known as Patsy W Tanner) 10 August 1799. She was born about 1755 in Amelia County, Virginia. They had 7 kids: Elizabeth S about 1804,Thomas W about 1806,Robert E about 1808,Martha F T about 1810,Mary E about 1814,John Branch 1816 who died in 1891(my line) and William C about 1818. John Branch was born in Amelia County, Virginia and died in Prentis County, Mississippi. This is when our Huddlestons migrated to Mississippi. John Branch married Amelia Rowland who was born in Virginia. They were married in Mississippi in 1837. They had 11 kids all born in Prentis, Mississippi. Martin A 1840,John David T 1844-1926,Margaret A, Harrison I 1851-1855,James A 1855-1924, Jere H 1858-1878,Virginia F 1860,William Tanner 10 July 1838-29 Sep 1903,Mary J or Molly 14 July 1846-25 Mar 1925,Robert Elam(my line)22 Sep 1853-1933 and Thomas Wiley 12 Nov 1841-died in Texas 7 Dec 1921 and buried in Tippah County, MississippiMorgan 27 June, 1775.April 12, 1774 -- Huddleston, Thos & Milly Tanner -- J. . Robert Elam Huddleston born 22 Sep 1853 married Cyrena Josephine Ryan 18 Dec 1878 in Fulton,Itawamba,Mississippi. She was born about 1853 in the same area as they were married. Their son Elbert Elam(also found as Ellum) was born Feb 1884 in Itawamba,Mississippi. This is the only child I know of pertaining to this couple. Elbert married Mary Belle Timmons 22 Oct 1901 in Booneville,Prentis,Mississippi. She was born about 1880 same area they was married. Their son, Flavus Forest Huddleston was my grandfather and I don't know if he had siblings. Flavus was born in 21 January 1903 in Booneville,Prentis,Mississippi. He married Lillie Palmer and she was born in 1904. I don't when they was married but they lived in Red Bay,Alabama. They had 7 kids: William Henry,James Hayward(my father),Coy Lee,Florence,Susie,Cleo and Alice. James Hayward Huddleston was born in Hamilton,Alabama 17 February 1931. He married Margaret Milton born November 27, 1936 of Wynne,Arkansas. They were married March 11,1954 in Hernando,Mississippi. James Hayward Huddleston and Margaret Milton had two children: Vickey Lynn Huddleston born September 18, 1955 and Roy Hayward Huddleston born January 29, 1957. Vickey was born in Fort Knox, Kentucky and Roy was born in Frankfurt, Germany.

Aug. 5th, 1814 War of 1812 Thomas Huddlestone
John B.6 Huddleston (Thomas7, Thomas Sr.8, Robert Sr9) #852 was born in Amelia Co VA 1816. John died 1891 in Prentiss Co MS. He married Ursula Amanda Rowland in Marshall Co MS, 8/24/1837. (Ursula Amanda Rowland #853.) John Branch Huddleston was born in Amelia Co. VA in 1816, the son of Thomas Huddleston and Martha Tanner Huddleston. John was 7 years old when his father died in 1823, leaving his mother with 8 children, 3 of whom, Mary, John, and William C., were still under age. Martha moved with her children to Tennessee, moving near one of her older sons near Henderson TN. As a young man John migrated to MS, first settling in Marshall Co. In 1837 at the age of 21 he married Ursula Amanda Rowland. According to the census of 1840 he was living in the "northern district" of Marshall Co with his wife and two young sons. He listed his employment as agriculture. By the mid 1840s John B. and his young family had moved to Tippah Co. MS. In May, 1847, he purchased 160 acres of land from John and Ezekial Law for . This land was located in Section 19, Township 1, Range 4 East. He sold this land in 1854 and 1855 and acquired additional land from his father-in-law William T. Rowland in Section 32, Township 3, Range 3 East. John B. and his family depended upon farming for most of their livelihood. He was an Elder in the Primitive Baptist Church, and for some years he pastored the Antioch Primative Baptist Church and Plesant Hill Primative Baptist Church. He also helped constitute Hopewell PB Church in Prentiss County, and was pastor there in 1880. He loved his country very much and believed it was his duty to defend it. He led in organizing a group of Tippah Co. volunteers known as the "Sons of Liberty". In Feb. 1862, he notified the authorities that "we the undersigned citizens of Tippah County..bind ourselves as soon as we have a sufficient number to organize a company of infantry and tender our services to the proper authorities of the Confederate States of America for 3 years or the war". The certification shows John B. Huddleston, Capt. This Company later became Company G 34th Regiment Mississippe Infantry. He enlisted March 17, 1862 for "3 years or the war". Captain J.B. Huddleston was the commanding officer. The company was made up of men from Tippah and Marshal Counties, Mississippi who volunteered to serve for "three years or the duration of the war". The Sons of Liberty were mustered into Confederate service in March 1862 and became Company G, 37th Mississippi Infantry Regiment. The 37th was sent to Corinth, Mississippi immediately upon organization and mustering in to defend that city from the advancing Federal troops under Ulysses S. Grant. John B. and the 37th Mississippi fought their first battle at Farmington, Tennessee against Federal troops advancing from Pittsburgh Landing. The date was 9 May 1862. From Corinth, the 37th Mississippi was ordered to Chattanooga, Tennessee. At Chattanooga, the 37th Mississippi was under the command of General Braxton Bragg. The 37th was with Bragg during his Kentucky Campaign and the Battle of Perryville during the summer of 1862. He was discharged July 4, 1862 at Tupelo, MS by "reason of surgeons certificate". In his later life he moved to the Bucksnort community of Prentiss Co. MS, where he died in 1891. Most of the Huddlestons of MS, especially North MS., trace their ancestry back to John B. Huddleston.

Thomas Sr.8 Huddleston (Robert Sr9) #1116 was born in Amelia Co VA abt 1748. Thomas died 1818 in Amelia Co VA. He married Millie Tanner in Amelia Co VA, 4/12/1774. (Millie Tanner #1117.) Thomas Huddleston Sr. was born in Amelia Co., VA around 1748. He married Millie (or Milly) Tanner of Raliegh Parrish, Amelia Co., there April 12, 1774. For some time there was confusion about he and Thomas Jr. because Thos. Jr. also married a Tanner named Martha. These two were cousins, which was common practice in those days. Records in World Family Tree Vol. 8, tree #493 shed new light on the subject and it is now resolved in my mind. LCB Thos. and Millie had other children, but as of this date I do not have their names. Thomas was a Rev. War soldier from VA, as was his brother, Robt. Jr. Thomas Sr. Huddleston and Millie Tanner had the following child: + 234 i. Thomas7 Huddleston was born Abt. 1775. . Thomas7 Huddleston (Thomas Sr.8, Robert Sr9) #854 was born in Amelia Co VA Abt. 1775. Thomas died 1823 in Amelia Co VA. He married Martha Tanner in Amelia Co VA, 8/10/1799. (Martha Tanner #855.) The Ancestry of Thomas Huddleston was in confusion for some time due to the fact that both he and his father, Thomas Sr., married women with the surname Tanner. Thomas married Martha Tanner in Amelia Co. VA on August 10, 1799. She was the widow of Peter Willson, whom she had married May 2, 1796. The date and cause of Perer's death is not known to the writer. At the time of his death in 1823, Thomas was living in Amelia Co. VA. He was married to Martha Tanner, and they had 8 children. Three of the children, Mary, John, and William were under age. Our ancestor, John B., was 7. Thomas was probably related to Thomas J. Huddleston (1769-1825) who married Sally Canada. For some time it was thought he might have been their son, rather than the son of Thomas who married Martha Tanner. The carrying over of names, and the marrying back into the same families caused some confusion. Thomas J was the son of Daniel (1735-1817) and Rachel Martin. Daniel was the son of Henry II (1706-1780) and Mary Wilkinson. Henry II was the son of Henry (1668-1706) and Elizabeth Cooper of Bucks County Penn. who were married in 1701. Henry is the earliest known Huddleston born in America. The Huddlestons emigrated to America from near Yorkshire, England and were shipbuilders and seafaring people. They were, as far back as records can be found, a God fearing family who lived with and for the benefit of their fellow man. Inscribed on their coat of arms is "SOLI DEO HONOR ET GLORIA" (Honor and Glory only through God). This has held true to the present generations whom it has been my privilege to have known and be related to . The first Huddleston to land on these shores was Capt. John Huddleston, of the Beuna Nova, who according to Governer Bedford of the Plymouth Colony, landed in 1620 and left a load of cereal grain, saving the colony from possible starvation. Governer doled out the food until the first harvest could be gleaned. There is nothing further known about Captain John other than he had tracts of land in the vicinity of Jamestown, Virginia. He is said to have died at sea, while sailing around the southern tip of South America. The earliest record of American Huddlestons is of a Valentine Huddleslton who immigrated to Maryland in 1663, and Henry Huddleston of Langhorne, Penn., who built a home at the corner of Main and Greene Streets and Maple Ave. On Dec. 23, 1688, Henry purchased 100 acres of land from William Hayhurst. In 1701 Henry married Elizabeth Cooper, a Quakeress, and he built a Quaker Meeting House there in 1706, although Henry was never a Quaker. The third generation of Henry's descendants migrated to Bedford County Va. about 1778. It is possible this is the ancestry of our Huddleston family. They were almost certainly related. They were hardworking, Godfearing people who were builders and craftsmen, as well as farmers, traits which were prevalent in our early Huddleston ancestors as well . Leslie C. Buchanan, from research contributed by many people. Thomas Huddleston and Martha Tanner had the following children: 235 i. Elizabeth S.6 Huddleston #881 was born in Amelia Co VA 1802. 236 ii.

(Peter Davenport #2108.) 239 v. Sara A. H. Huddleston #885 was born in Amelia Co VA before 1815. 240 vi. William C. Huddleston #887 was born in Amelia Co VA abt 1815. + 136 vii. John B. Huddleston was born 1816. 241 viii. Mary E. Huddleston #886 was born in Amelia Co VA abt 1820. Robert Sr9 Huddleston #1119 was born in PA? or British Isles Abt 1720. Robert Sr. is the earliest Huddleston ancestor of whom we have record. He was born around 1720 It is not known if he was born in Pennsylvania or whether he emiagrated there, possibly from near Yorkshire, England. Our first record of him is in Spotsylvania, PA, in the early 1700's. The earliest record of the Huddleston name we have found is of a Nigel de Hudelston who lived in Huddleston, a location near Yorks, England in A.D. 1110 and was Provost of the Archbishop of York. There was also a Sir Richard de Hondelston living at his manor house of Huddleston in A.D. 1262 Earliest records of the Huddleston family show them to be shipbuilders, cabinet makers, and seafaring people. They were very loyal subjects of the Crown, and many served in the military service of the Queens Guards, some listed as "killed in actions of war on behalf of the Queen". Robert Sr Huddleston had the following children: 367 i. Robert II8 Huddleston #1118 was born Abt 1745. Robert died 3/3/1817. He married Mary Claiborne in Amelia Co VA, 1805. (Mary Claiborne #2590.) Robert Huddleston II was born in either PA. or Amelia Co. VA, most likely in VA. He, or his father Robert Sr., was probably in the group of Huddlestons who miagrated from PA to Virginia, settleing in Amelia Co. He died March 3, 1817 in Plantation, Amelia Co VA. We believe he was born abt. 1740 The following is from a publication about the Rev. War, and is probably refering to his son. Robert Huddleston was born in Amelia County, Virginia, about 1760. According to Cordell's book he served in various organizations of Virginia Militia in the Revolutionary War, and in 1834 was pensioned for his service. He migrated to Warren County, North Carolina about 1785, thence to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina about1800.....etc.

He serve in the Army for 20 years. He went in the service when he was 17 with a dime in his pocket and helped to support all his brothers and sisters as well as his mother and father. Dad told me my grandfather Flavus Forest Huddleston was run out of Arkansas for converting grain into a liquid. There is a hill in Marshall, Arkansas called Still Hill because so many stills were dynamited by the Gmen. Granpa Flavus lived in Searcy County, Arkansas for a while but Dad Said that Grandma Lillie didn't want to stay so that went to Red Bay, Alabama to live with both of their parents.There was a valley in between the Palmer house and the Huddleston house. The old Palmer house used to be a train depot. The black and white picture above is Elbert Elam Huddleston, my great grandfather.
