It’s Family Time~The Family of Martin Irenus Huneycutt

Martin Irenus Huneycutt was born on 14 Dec 1835 in Montgomery County, North Carolina, a son of Marcus “Mark” Huneycutt and Charity Dry. Martin was the sixth of nine children. He had 5 brothers and 3 sisters. Martin was a farmer in the Big Lick community of Stanly County, North Carolina.

About 1862, Martin Irenus married Elmira Hudson (Maiden name unproven). After the birth of 4 children between 1862 and 1873, Elmira passed away we suspect about 1874. No marriage licensee has been found for this union and the Wife/Mother’s name was obtained from the NC Death Certificate of daughter, Bessie L. Huneycutt Clark (15 Feb. 1873-13 Feb 1939). 

The Children of Martin Irenus Huneycutt and Elmire Hudson are:

        i.    Melissa Huneycutt was born about 1863.
        ii.    Jane Huneycutt was born about 1866.
       iii.    Margaret Huneycutt was born about 1871.
       iv.    Bessie J. Huneycutt, born 15 Feb 1873; married Henry L. Clark; died 13 Feb 1939.

Martin, a farmer, losing his wife and having 4 small children to care for needed some help. Martin found that help with his second wife Eunice “Nicey” [Maiden name unknown/unproven]. Some researchers say the maiden name of Eunice  “Nicey” Huneycutt is “Roland” but she was actually a Huneycutt, daughter of Gabriel and Jane Rowland Huneycutt.  

Eunice was  37 year of age when she married Martin about 1880 before the Census was taken on 24 June 1880. No children have been found for this union.

Martin Irenus Huneycutt died on 12 April 1918 of heart failure leaving his wife Nicey surviving him. Eunice “Nicey” Huneycutt died 19 November 1922. Martin Irenus Huneycutt is buried in Running Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Locust, Stanly County, North Carolina.

Martin Irenus Huneycutt  is my 2nd Great Grand Uncle.
