Generation 7
ZADOCK E. [EDWARD?] F. [FORD?] MITCHUSSON [b: 1807-09] --m: NANCY M. [Mayfield/Monroe?] JOHNSON [b: abt 1818, TN] on 19/20? Mar 1833 in Trigg Co., KY by Rev. W. McWaters. Was her father Gregory H. Johnson? Also, was her middle name Monroe? Family tradition says name Monroe was passed down through this branch of the family. Zadock served on the Trigg Co. Circuit Court jury which convicted the first man in county to be executed [arraigned for trial 7 July 1841, executed 30 July 1841]. Along with other jurors, Zadock was referred to as "staunch old gentleman."
[Presumably Zadock was named after Zadok Ford [Sr.], a SC Revolutionary War soldier who knew Wm. Mitchusson and sat on the first grand jury of Spartanburg, SC with Edward Mitchusson, or his son, Zadock Ford [Jr.], who married Cassandra Chew, daughter of John Drury Chew of SC, who died in Revolutionary War, 1780. Edward Mitchusson subsequently became Cassandra's guardian in SC, before moving to Livingston, KY in 1799.]
The children of ZADOCK and NANCY are said to have been:

1. WILLIAM [Willie] ANN J. MITCHUSSON [female] [b: abt 1837-40] --m: George W. Phillips on 13 Aug 1861 in Trigg Co., KY. Willie's child is enumerated with Zadock's family in the 1860 census.

Elizabeth's parents were John A. Crump [b: 1830, KY] and Mary A. Etheridge [b: Jun 1838, KY]. Mary later married man named Phillips. Houston appears with wife Crumpie and mother-in-law Mary in the 1900 Humphreys Co., TN Census.

Charity's father was Patrick Flynn [b: Ireland]; her mother was Matilda Higgins [b: SC?; bur: Higgins Cemetery #1, Trigg Co., KY] who was first married to David Mitchell on 14 Apr 1835. Charity was buried near her husband. The 1880 Trigg Co. census shows aunt Cassandra Shepherd, age 70, living in the house with Gregory and Charity. Gregory was a Pvt. Co. L 8 Ky CAV in Civil War--as was his younger brother Zedric. Gregory's tombstone gives the name as "Gragory." Gregory and Charity's children are said to have been:

---[?]DRURY C. MITCHUSSON [b: abt 1844/5] ??I suspect this was not another child of Zadock and Nancy, but just an alternate name for Zedric D. [below] in the 1850 census.

NOTE: It is said that a WILLIAM MITCHUSSON executed a will in Caldwell Co., KY in the 1850's and then died a few years later. Comments about this Will are found in the Quarterly online [Volume 3, Number 4] of the Franklin County, Kansas Genealogical Society of Ottawa, Kansas. Apparently the will indicated William's wish to provide a farm for his slaves and to free them. However, surviving family members did not follow through on his wishes. My question: Which William Mitchusson was this? And does anyone have a copy of that Will or know its exact date?

Generation 6
ZEDRIC D. [DRURY?] MITCHUSSON [b: 5 June 1845, Ironton, Trigg Co., KY; d: 10 Feb 1877, Trigg Co., KY] --m: Emeline Nickell [b: 7 May 1845 {On 7 Mar 1891 Pension application, Emeline swore she was age 41}, Star Lime Works, Lyon Co., KY; d: 9 Dec 1920, Golden Pond, Trigg Co., KY; bur: Pinegar Cemetery, near Ironton, Trigg Co., KY] on 28 Aug 1864 in Lyon Co., KY, service done by Rev. Robert Murray.

Zedric enrolled [possibly drafted] in the Union Army as a Private in Company L, 8th Regiment of KY Calvary volunteers. He enrolled 14 Aug 1862 at Trigg Co., KY, reported at Henderson, KY on 13 Sept 1862, was hospitalized with measles on 2 Dec 1862, and after more service was finally discharged honorably on 23 Sep 1863.

Emeline made pension claim #368304 on 12 May 1888 and 7 Mar 1891. However, she received pension #334234. War and Pension records show Zedric's surname spelled "Mitchuson or Michuson." One of Emeline's pension applications indicates that Zedric died of "inflammation, resulting from broken collar bone, incurred by a fall in the U.S. Service + line of duty." At the time of her death from "chronic indigestion," Emeline was living in Energy, Trigg Co., KY at the home of her son William Edward Mitchusson, whose wife Nellie cared for her.

Zedric and Emeline were said to have the following five children, all of whom are mentioned in the 18 Feb 1888 pension application made to the Lyon Co., KY court, as being under age 16 at the time of Zedric 's death:

William was the son of Newton Higgins and Mary Virginia Saville. After Nancy's death, William married Happa Cora Fulks on 2 Jul 1896. William and Nancy are said to have had two female children:
