David Huddleston, a native of Guilford County, N.C., was born Oct. 6, 1801, a 
son of Jonathan and Phoebe (Gardner) Huddleston. His father moved to Union 
County, Ind., in 1816, and settled near the present site of Liberty, where he 
engaged in farming and merchandising and probably set out the first nursery in 
that part of the country. He subsequently moved to Dublin, where he died Jan. 
16, 1866, aged eighty-eight years. His family of eight boys and five girls all 
grew to maturity and eight are still living. He was a temperance man and none 
of his sons ever used intoxicating liquors. David Huddleston, on reaching his 
majority, bought a small farm and engaged in the nursery business. He was 
married in 1827 to Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Howell, of North 
Carolina. They have had a family of eight children, all living to have 
families of their own. Mr. Huddleston is a birthright member of the Society of 
Friends, and his wife became a member when a little girl. They have spent 
fifty-six years together, and their life has been one that is pleasant to look 
back upon.
