On 30 December 1885, Will Tommy married (1) ROSA BELLE WYKERT in Wetzel
County.
Land Transactions:
On 31 May 1890, Will Tommy purchased 17 acres of land on McCloud Run from William & Louise Moore.
On 17 June 1890, he sold the 17 acres to Margaret Butler.
4 August 1890, Rosa purchased 7+ acres of land in Proctor District from A. T. {Absalom} and Louise Fair.
19 February 1894, they sold the 7+ acres of land to Emily McCullough.
16 April 1895, Will Tommy purchased 3.25 acres from Rachel Cross on Shenango Run, Green District, Wetzel County.
12 August 1908, Will Tommy purchased 166 acres of land near Wileyville from T. F. & M. J. Pittman.

19 October 1894 (when a bail hearing was held), Will Tommy, father
Harrison William Huggins and brothers Henry Nelson Huggins &
George Washington Huggins were arrested for the murder of Friend Garner.
(Click here for more information.)
During the 1890s, the
family housekeeper, JAMIMA JANE BROCK had a relationship with
either Will Tommy or his son, Clarence Oscar which resulted in the
birth of IRVIN EARL BROCK. The daughter of SALATHIA BROCK
and MARY ELLEN FERRELL, Jamima was born March 1878 in West
Virginia19 and died about 1907 in Wetzel County.18
In 2008,
Dave Brock, the grandson
of Irvin Brock had a DNA test performed and the results were compared to
the DNA of Donnie Huggins, grandson of Will Tommy. The DNA was a
match. The only Huggins men old enough in the household to father a child in
1899 were Will Tommy or his 14 year old son Clarence.
Will Tommy had at least one other child out of wedlock so I’ve shown
Irvin here as being his son but it could be possible Clarence was the
father.

***George’s wife, Sarah Jane Furbee, was Will Tommy’s half 1st

William Thomas
Huggins
was always called by everyone who knew him Will Tommy. His brother
Henry Nelson Huggins was always called Nelson.
Though I was barely
old enough, I only can remember seeing Grandpap about 4 or 5 times. I knew about
him and we lived close, sometimes within 100 yards. He was old and I was young
and Mom and Pop were not on real good terms with them all the time.
Grandpap was a small
soft spoken man. Nelson was also a small soft spoken man.
Nelson
and Will
Tommy bought farms side by side on a hill above Wileyville. I can remember
we lived on Nelson's place down the ridge from Will Tommy's place
but neither owned them then. Uncle Harold 'Lee' Huggins lived up there.
There was no electricity on that ridge but we did have free casinghead gas to
heat and light with. We used wooden sucker
rods for rails for some fences.
Will Tommy
served as the Poorhouse Administrator after he was in the pen so some people
must have thought he and his clan were justified in that feud. He was Justice
of the Piece out at Wileyville too.

Over four score years she has known hardships, her full share of sorrows, and joys too in her association with relatives and friends.

Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
