As Huie is such a unique name, I'm trying to gather all references as a one name study and eventually put it up on a website. I'm interested in all contributions of anything relating to Huie surname or family.

My family has several Huie's from Scotland,one family immigrating to Geelong, Victoria, Australia about 1852, one branch going to New South Wales, and others going to New Zealand, Dunedin area, about 1871. My Huie's are reported to be Huguenots who fled France on the eve of St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, and French was spoken at home through my grandmother's upbringing in NZ. (I've yet to get the family back to France, but am still trying!)

In Scotland, the earliest I've traced thus far is James Huie & Mary Gordon married 1788, banns in Dunse, Berwickshire & Monymusk, Aberdeenshire. James was an excise officer in Monymusk at the time. First child Christina born there 1789. Family moved to St. Nicholas Parish in the City of Aberdeen and sons James, Alexander, Edward, and Richard born 1791-1795. Family moved to South Leith, Midlothian, and sons John, Adam & James born there 1797-1799.

Son James (b. 1791) married Margery Zeigler, and had children James, Jane Smolett, Mary Gordon, and John Ziegler. John Ziegler Huie b.1822 married 1847 Jane Steele Main, immigrated 1860 to Geelong, Australia, and their daughter is Marjorie Seaton Huie b. 1855 in Perth, Scotland.

Son Alexander (b. 1793) married Eliza Gordon Edgar, and had children Margaret Gordon Huie (married Andrew Burn, was schoolteacher and principal, and came to Dunedin 1871), Mary Gordon, James, Agnes Isabella, Eliza Edgar, Alexander, Edward, Elizabeth, Wilhelmina, Eliza Mary & John Millar. 1852 their father Alexander died, and mother and 8 kids immigrated to Geelong, Australia. Margaret Gordon, Agnes & Elizabeth were at Otago Girls High School, Dunedin, NZ, 1871 on. My line is through Margaret Gordon (Mrs. Burn in NZ).
