It’s Family Time~The Colon H. Huckabee Family

Colon H. Huckabee was born on 7 January 1882, a son of Eli Huckabee and Martha Seals.

Nancy Jane Davis was born 13 November 1883, a daughter of Elisha Blakely Davis and Mary Jane “Molly” Eddings.

Colon H. Huckabee and Nancy Jane Davis were married in 1903. This is before Chesterfield County started recording marriage in 1911. In the 1910 Census Colon and Nancy are enumerated as a married couple. In this census, they state that they have been married for 7 years and have one child – Lela Huckabee, age 2.

Colon H. and Nancy Jane (Davis) Huckabee had five known children.

        i.    Macy Huckabee, born 23 Jan 1908, Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina; married William L. Shaw; died 27 Aug 1953, Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina.
         ii.    Lelia Mae Huckabee, born 17 Nov 1908, Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina; married Julius Browder, Jun 1952; married Charles R. Shaw; died 30 Jun 1965.
        iii.    Arline Huckabee was born about 1913 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina; married W. Melvin Sinclair, 17 Sep 1934; died 4 Aug 2000.
        iv.    Edward Allen Huckabee, born 23 Jul 1915, Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina; died 24 Dec 1970.
         v.    Vernon B. Huckabee, born 23 Nov 1917, Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina; married Julia Fay Pigg; died 27 Apr 1997.

Even though I have identified five children I am still confused about the first two. The 1910 Census shows the only child to be born before 1910 to be a daughter called Lela, age 2.

SC Death certificate for Macy Shaw and Lelia Browder show both to be daughters of Colon Huckabee and Nancy Jane Davis with Macy born 23 Jan 1908 and Lelia born 17 Nov 1908.

Macy Huckabee Shaw, b. 23 Jan. 1908; d. 27 Aug 1953.

Lelia Huckabee Browder, b. 17 Nov. 1908; d. 30 June 1965.

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

Nancy Jane (Davis) Huckabee is my 1st Cousin 3 times removed.
