Descendants of Thomas Blue

Generation No. 2

2. HETTIE ANN³ BLUE (THOMAS², JOHN ?¹) was born March 1861 in Robeson County, North Carolina, and died February 19, 1919 in Robeson County, North Carolina. She married SIMON BUIE 1880 in Robeson County, North Carolina, son of CHARLIE BUIE and FLORAH MCPHERSON. He was born June 1856 in Robeson County, North Carolina, and died 1934 in Robeson County, North Carolina.

Notes for HETTIE ANN BLUE:
Hettie Ann Blue, the daughter of Thomas Blue and Mariah Humphrey, was born in 1861, four years before the Emancipation Proclamation. Her parents were not formally married until after the end of slavery. She married Simon Buie in 1880. She and Simon together with her younger brother John Henry Blue inherited the property of her parents which consisted of about 300 acres of land that had been given to Thomas Blue by his former owners. Hettie was a dark complexioned woman with much of the energy of her mother, Mariah Humphrey. One of my aunts described her mother as "jet black."

Notes for SIMON BUIE:
Simon Buie married Hettie Ann Blue in 1880. From this union there were fifteen children of which thirteen survived infancy. A granddaughter, Flora McMillan, remembers him as a light skinned man, who in his old age walked with a great deal of dignity. I was ten years old when he died in 1934. I remember visits to his house and playing in his grape arbor. I also remember that he was a tall bronzed man with a lot of white hair and I remember his funeral in the old Panthersford Presbyterian church where many of my ancestors, including my mother and father, are buried.
