Died at age 88
Probably came from Dorking, County Surrey, England in the William & Francis, 5 Jun 1632. He came with the family of Stephan Batchelder, who's daughter, Theodate he married in Lynn, Ma where he orriginally settled and where their son Stephan was born, the second child to be born in that town. In 1639 he removed with his family to Hampton. He was said to have participated in the settlement of Haverhill. His daughter Huldah married John Smith. Christopher Hussey was a sea-faring man, and was cast away and died on the coast of Florida, 5 Mar 1686. He never came to Nantucket. He also incurred the displeasure of the General Court by petitioning, with others, for a mitigation of the sentence of Capt. Robert Pike for seeming to uphold speaking in public without a license. He was a deputy for Hampton in 1658.

(Christopher is listed as a son of John Hussey and Mary Wood (or Moor) this may not be true, as other sources disagree.)
Baptised 18 Feb 1599
Another report in Hist. of Nant. says Christopher died and was buried 8 Mar. 1636, but then says he was settled in Hampton in 1638. So this is obviously wtong.
