It’s Family Time~ 2nd Great Grand Uncle John Wiley Huneycut

My 2^nd Great Grand Uncle John Wiley Huneycut and his wife Betsy Love has been a very elusive couple. Thus, I have documented very little information about their lives at this point in time. 
 
John Wiley Huneycutt was born on 16 Jan 1823 in Montgomery County, North Carolina a son of Marcus I. Huneycutt and his wife Charity Dry. John Wiley was their first born child. ¹
 
John Wiley married Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Love on 22 December 1840.² John and Betsy can be found in the 1850 census for Stanly County and the 1870 Census for Union County, North Carolina. I have not found them in any other census. ^{3 4}
 

John Wiley Huneycutt and Elizabeth Love had the following children:
 
i. James Riley Huneycutt, born 11 Jan 1841, Stanly County, North Carolina; married Martha Elizabeth Speight, 1866; died 5 Jan 1915, Kannapolis, Cabarrus, North Carolina.
ii. John M. Huneycutt was born about 1844 in Stanly County, North Carolina. He served in the Civil War, enlisting on 25 Mar 1862 into Company 'H' 42nd NC Infantry (State Troops). John died on 20 Jun 1864 at the age of 20.⁵
iii. Mary C. Huneycutt was born about 1848. ^{6 7}

v. Tobias A. "Tobie" Huneycutt, born 5 Oct 1852, Stanly County, North Carolina; married Joannah S. Douglas, 1877; died 5 Apr 1930, Center, Stanly, North Carolina.
