• Notes

  Stephen Hussey was born in 1632 and died at Nantucket in 1718, leavin, seven children. His wife was Martha, daughter of William Bunker. He received a good education and naturally took to law. Although it is not known that he was an admitted attorney. From the date when the Court records begin to his death there was seldom a session when he was not party or attorney. He lived in continual turmoil, although, singular to relate, he was one of the petitioners for a Friends Meeting, but he engaged in litigation with some of the members and was disowned in 1717. He was a master mariner, and sailed between Nantucket, Boston and New York. He was three times a constable and once selectman and assessor. He was convicted of smuggling ten gallons of rum, and his ten reasons of appeal show a very ingenious mind. He never failed to assert that justice could not be had on Nantucket because neither Judge nor Jury were entirely impartial. He acquired the interest of his father, Robert Pike and others, and was the largest land owner of his day The house lots assigned to Christopher Hussey and Robert Pike were on the west side of Trott's Swamp, but Stephen Hussey built three houses for himself and family one on Federal street near Chestnut, another at Monomov and a third at Shimmoo.
