*** Amy married Herman Husband on 5 Oct 1765 in North Carolina 10 May 1765 - Amy was expelled from Cane Creek MM in North Carolina for marrying Herman Husband. Amy is the mother of the rest of Herman's children namely: John, Herman Jr,. Mary David (1770-1840), Isaac Tuscape (1771-1858), Emmy, Phoebe (1776-1796). Most all of Herman's children other than probably Phoebe were born in North Carolina, it is hard to determine since we don't have all of their birth dates, but if they were born before 1771/1772 they would have been born in North Carolina because Hermon was still there up to the battle of Alamance in 1771 and then went into hiding for a time.

Her sister Ann Allen married Amos Comer on 7 Feb 1773 in Holly Spring, Guilford, North Carolina, USA.

Both Herman Husband Jr. and Mary Husband are the children of Amy Allen (third wife of Herman Husband) there are two separate land deeds that prove this.

Amy Allen was the daughter of John Allen and Pheobe Scarlett-Allen. Phoebe Scarlet-Allen is named as the grandmother of these two children (Herman Husband and Mary Husband) in land deed transactions. (See below) (as it is spelled in the book)

Putting together marriage records, land deeds, burials wills etc.

Herman Husband names in his will John and William as his eldest sons.

Herman Husband's first wife Elsey Phoebe Cox is the mother of John Husband. (Herman's eldest son)

Herman Husband's second wife Mary Pugh is the mother of William Husband. (Herman's second eldest son.)

There are land deeds on file that prove these relationships as well.(18 Sept 1770, Guilford Cnty deed book 1 page 107, 108)

Herman Husband's third wife Amy Allen is the probable mother of the rest of Herman Husband's children.

the marriage of Amy Allen & Herman Husband... Cane Creek Meeting in Orange (now Alamance) Co, N.C. reports they married in Sep 1766 and were complained of 5 Oct 1766 for marrying in a disorderly manner. The 7 Feb 1767 minutes indicate the list of those that were in attendance, "William Cox; William Cox Junior, Isaac Vernon, Isaac Cox, Samuel Cox, Solomon Cox and Jacob Greg" as having been disowned for attending same on "9th month last".

10mo/Oct 4, 1766 - Cane Creek Meeting
"This appears to have been the advice of a Quarterly Meeting - Cane Creek Monthly Meeting likewise refers to this meeting the case of those who attended the Disorderly marriage of Amy Allen now Husband for our advice and judgment thereon and after mature consideration in the case it is the sense and judgment of this meeting that those friends that attended sd marriage have broke through the Rules of our Discipline & Decent order and that suitable satisfaction might to be given for their proceedings. And it is the advice of this meeting to friends of Cane Creek Monthly Meeting to use their best endeavors in Christian Love to bring them to a sense of their outgoings and if they cannot be Reclaimed, to share their Disunity with them"

Bottom:
At a monthly meeting held the 7th of 2d mo/Feb 1767
"William Cox, William Cox Junior, Isaac Vernon, Isaac Cox, Samuel Cox, Solomon Cox and Jacob Greg complained of in the 9th month last [Sep 1766] for attending the disorderly marriage of Emy Allen, now Husband, and after reported labor with such of them this meeting now disowns each of them"

It would appear from these Minutes that the marriage of Emy/Amy Allen and Harmon Husband took place in Sep, 1766, in a disorderly manner (out of unity with Friends) and that those listed in attendance were disowned in Feb 1767 for not making satisfaction.

"Emey (Allen), Born the 18 Day of ye 12th mo 1743/44 in Londongrove"

The numerical to nominal date would be 18 Feb 1744.

See Julian calendar wherein March was the 1st month, the 11th and 12th months were Jan and Feb of the following year as indicated by the hyphenation.

The historical Julian calendar commenced in 45 BC, named for Julius Caesar; it was reformed in 1582 by the Gregorian calendar (our current use), named for Pope Gregory. Although the Roman Empire, Spain & Portugal adopted it immediately, England and her Colonies did not adopt the change until 1752 by Act of Parliament. Greece was one of the last to make the change in 1923. Because it took so many countries to change over a 250+ year span, 3 months (1mo/Mar, 11mo/Jan and 12mo/Feb) were given hyphenated years to explain the difference.

The family name of "Emy", "Emey" or "Emmey" originated from her great-grandmother, Emmetje, wife of her great-grandfather William Cox. It was passed down through the generations and often times anglicized or phoneticized to Amy.
