It’s Family Time~Marcus “Mark” I. Huneycutt Family

Marcus I. "Mark" Huneycutt was born about 1797 in Montgomery County, North Carolina.¹ His parents are not known and have been a high priority for my research time. Mark and his family appeared in the 1830 census for Cabarrus County, North Carolina. By 1850, he had moved to Stanly County, NC and acquired a 100 acre Grant from the State. From 1850 through 1860 he was enumerated in Stanly County census. ^{2 3 4 5 6} Mark died sometime before the 1870 Census.⁷
 
Marcus I. "Mark" Huneycutt and Charity Dry were married on 18 Mar 1822.⁸ Charity Drye was born about 1803. ^{9 10}
 
Marcus I. Huneycutt and Charity Dry had the following children:
 
i. John Wiley Huneycutt, born 16 Jan 1823; married Elizabeth Brooks.
ii. Tobias A. Huneycutt, born abt 1824, Stanly County, North Carolina; married Elizabeth Mariam Huneycutt, 7 Nov 1852, Stanly County, North Carolina.
iii. David M. Huneycutt, born abt 1828; married Edith Underwood.
iv. William Riley Huneycutt, born Mar 1830; married Lydia Brooks, 14 May 1851, Stanly County, North Carolina.
v. Sarah "Sallie" Huneycutt, born abt 1831.
vi. James W. Huneycutt, born 26 Apr 1833, Cabarrus Country, North Carolina; married Sarah Elizabeth Page, 20 May 1855, Stanly County, North Carolina; died 19 Nov 1896, Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina.
vii. Martin I. Huneycutt, born 14 Dec 1835, Montgomery County, North Carolina; married Unicey [LNU].
viii. Elizabeth "Bettie" Huneycutt, born abt 1838; married John Furr.
ix. Beada Huneycutt, born abt 1842; married Nathan T. Starnes, 6 Apr 1882, Stanly County, North Carolina.
 
The children are all named within the Probate file of Marcus I Huneycutt. What is not known is when, where and how both Mark and Charity passed away. I know it was before 1880. Marcus is not listed in the 1870 Census but Charity is; neither is listed in 1880 Census. 
 
The discovery of Marcus as the father of my 2nd Great Grandfather, James W. Huneycutt is a very recent find, so much work remains to be done on this family and the identification of Marcus and Charity’s parents. 
 
Marcus and Charity Huneycutt are my paternal 3rd Great Grandparents.
