Robert M. Huey was born in New York, according to the 1880 census. He
moved to Winnsboro, South Carolina after the Civil War and married
Margaret Shaw. He ran a general store there for many years, and they had
three children. The eldest, Maggie, died 19 March, 1882 at the age of
three, and is buried at Bethel ARP in Winnsboro. She choked on a piece of
candy while her parents were at church. The 1880 census shows Robert and
Margaret living in Winnsboro with Margaret J. Shaw, his mother-in-law,
who was born in Ireland. Mary Preston, known as Mamie, was born in 1881,
and Robert Cathcart was born in 1884. Margaret died at about that time,
and Robert seems to have fallen apart. His children were raised by
Margaret's sister Mary, who was married to Thomas Hoge Ketchin, at one
time mayor of Winnsboro. Robert went through all of his money, then
worked for several newspapers before he died in Columbia 29 July, 1892.
An obituary for G.L. Huey in the Fairfield News & Herald of 30 September,
1885 refers to him as the brother of Robert M. Huey and the son of M.M.
Huey. Although both R.M. and Margaret were members of Bethel ARP Church
in Winnsboro, neither is buried there.
The 20 March 1882 issue of the Fairfield News And Herald carries an
account of the death of Maggie Huey, the daughter.[Broderbund Family
