Stephen Hussey 
Stephen was born in 1643 in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, USA.1 Stephen's father was Christopher Hussey and his mother was Theodate Batchelder. His paternal grandparents were John Hussey and Mary WOOD OR (WOODIN). He had a brother and three sisters, named John, Mary, Theodate and Huldah. He was the second youngest of the five children. He died at the age of 75 on April 2nd, 1718 in Nantucket, Nantucket Co, Massachusetts, USA. He was buried in Sherburne, Nantucket Co., Massachusetts.2 3 General Notes
[Lucy Folger.ged]
"He was a sea-faring man, had lived at Barbados and had accumulated a little property. At the time of the organization of the Friends' Society, in 1708, he was one of the petitioners, a somewhat anomalous condition as he was a most persistent litigant. He several times held office and appeared to be quite a politician, and during the local turmoil following the temporary overturn of the New York government, he was severely denounced by Peter Folger for endeavoring to improperly affect the voting."
According to The Great Migrations:
"All sources give Stephen as the eldest child of Christopher and Theodate (Bachiler) Hussey, and claim that this couple had married in England prior to 1632 and came to New England with Reverend STEPHEN BACHILER. There is no evidence, however, for placing Stephen as the eldest child, and his marriage date of 1676, and other records, argue for a date of birth in the 1640s, and so he has been placed here as the fourth of five children. Thus John becomes the eldest child, which is consistent with the page of baptisms, apparently kept by Stephen Bachiler as he travelled from Lynn to Newbury to Hampton, where John is the first child baptized, at Lynn in 1636. (This also puts the lie to the myth that in the first week he was at Lynn Bachiler had baptized his own grandson Stephen Hussey before the child of another couple.) "

He was the first child baptized by his grandfather, Stephen Bachelor, in the church at Lynn.
