Thomas John Hussey (4 April 1792 – c. 1854) was an English clergyman and astronomer. ==Background and education== T.J. Hussey was born in Lamberhurst, Kent, the only son of Rev. John Hussey and Catherine Jennings. The Husseys were an old, armigerous, Anglo-Norman family and substantial local landowners, the Rev. Hussey being the younger brother of Edward Hussey of Scotney Castle.〔Burke, J. (1836). ''A genealogical and heraldic history of the commoners of Great Britain'' pp 262–263.〕〔Berry, W. (1830). ''County genealogies: Pedigrees of the families in the county of Sussex''. p. 126〕 Thomas Hussey's father died in Allahabad in 1799, leaving Catherine to look after her son. She sent him to Eton, but subsequently became financially embroiled with an Irish barrister, J.P. Maccabe, who claimed to be her nephew. According to a deed of gift written by ( or as if by) Catherine, young Thomas, whilst still at Eton, "rendered me miserable...took a considerable sum of money from me, and went away, I knew not whither. He enlisted: my hopes were blasted of ever seeing him either respectable in life, or a man of education...I knew my unfortunate boy well and feared the worst. My son's uncle...Edward Hussey, refused to have anything to do with him." Maccabe took Thomas to Dublin, where he attended Trinity College. However, Maccabe also took Catherine's inheritance of some £50,000. A case against Maccabe went to the Irish Court of Chancery where he was judged to have obtained the money by "undue influence, fraud, and misrepresentation". The case was appealed in the House of Lords in 1831, but Maccabe was ordered to repay £36,500 to Catherine.〔Dow, P. (1832). ''Reports of cases upon appeals and writs of error in the House of Lords'' Vol 2: 440–453.〕 Thomas emerged from these troubles with the degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1835.〔Anon. (1835). ''The Dublin university magazine'' 5: 492.〕 He subsequently received ad eundem degrees from the University of Oxford in 1836〔Anon. (1836). ''The British Magazine'' 9: 343.〕 and the University of Durham in 1840.〔Anon. (1841). ''The British Magazine'' 19: 119.〕 In 1839, Thomas was admitted to the Freedom of the Worshipful Company of Bowyers of the City of London by patrimony, his father having been admitted in 1773.
