It’s Family Time~Elizabeth "Betsy" Huneycutt




Elizabeth "Betsy" Huneycutt, daughter of Marcus I. Huneycutt and Charity Dry was borne about Jan 1842 in Montgomery County, North Carolina.

About 1859, Elizabeth "Betsy" Huneycutt and John Furr were married in Stanly County, North Carolina. We know they married shortly before 1860 because Elizabeth Furr and John Furr were enumerated as a couple in the home of her parents, Marcus and Charity Huneycutt.

I believe their marriage is recorded on Page 32 Stanly Marriage Records (1851 - 1866), Volume 1. The entry shows a John Furr marriage to Sallie Huneycutt but I believe this is just a clerical error from the entry about the one for John Furr.

John Furr was married to Sallie Huneycutt, 20th Dec. 1859 so returned by G. D. Whitley


John Furr was born about 1830 in Montgomery County, North Carolina.

John Furr and Elizabeth Huneycutt had the following children:

        i.    Mary Ellen Furr, born 1860; married Wiley Franklin Herrin, 14 Jun 1883, Stanly County, North Carolina; died 9 Dec 1919, Concord, Cabarrus, North Carolina.
         ii.    Landy Furr was born about 1862.
         iii.    William Furr was born about 1864.
         iv.    James W. Furr was born about 1865.
         v.     Sophia Landy Furr, born Jun 1869; married John D. Lentz, 25 Jun 1898, Cabarrus County, North Carolina.
        vi.      Daniel Franklin Furr was born 24 Dec 1872; died 6 Aug 1923.
        vii.    Milas Luther Furr, born 12 Aug 1874, Cabarrus County, North Carolina; married Ada Belle Graham, 14 Sep 1902, Cabarrus County, North Carolina; died 16 Apr 1951.
John Furr died prior to the 1880 Census, where his wife Elizabeth Huneycutt Furr is listed as a widow. Elizabeth Huneycutt Furr, his widow, died after 1900. No tombstones have been found for this couple.

If you have information about this family I would love to hear from you.

Elizabeth "Betsy" Huneycutt Furr is my 2nd Great Grandaunt.
