Source: The Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, 1907. The first authentic account we have of the current family is the record of John Hussey and Mary Wood, December 5, 1593, when they both were of Dorking, Surrey, England, and were persons of good position and of moderate estate in lands. John Hussey died in England, leaving a widow and children. Of the latter the records are meagre, but there is known to have been a son John, who died young, a son Christopher and one or more daughters of whom we have no authentic account. According to the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, it is not unlikely that John was the early voyager Hussey cast away upon Cape Florida and there devoured by the native cannibals, a fate attributed to Christopher by his gr. gr. son Joseph Marshall of Nantucket, in his signed 'Genealogy of the Husseys.' Another source, a Hussey genealogy chart provided by a Hussey descendant, Dorothy Carter of Waynesville, OH, in 1992, John Hussey died in Dorking on 5 Feb 1630.
Source: "Historic Nantucket", volume 27, Oct. 1979, No. 2, J. William Bardoe, Director of Research, English Genealogical Research, Guildford, Surrey, furnished the entries below, some of which he re-checked for accuracy, and stated that the registers of the adjacent parishes of Abinger and Sheir (Shera) do not contain Hussey entries prior to 5th 12. 1593. Neither do the Richmond Parish Registers reveal anything pertinent to the ancestry of Christopher Hussey.

*Between 1582 and 1752, March was the first month of the year. The 12th month, therefore, was February, which brought about double dating. 5th 12. 1593, for example, should read 5th February 1593 4 or February 5, 1593 /4. The baptismal register of Dorking from 1550 through 1610, though there is a gap 1572-1578. John Hussey did indeed marry Mary Wood at Dorking on 5 Dec. 1593. A son John was baptized 29 Apr. 1596, and was buried 8 Nov. 1597. Christopher was baptized 18 Feb. 1598/9. A daughter named Marie was baptized 31 Mar. 1602. No other Hussey baptisms recorded before 1610.
