Also Elizabeth Cleminson married Henry Hunt and they moved to PA, Elisabeth died June 23, 1895 Vinco,Cambria,PA. Notes for Elizabeth Cleminson: NEWSPAPER ARTICLE: Mountaineer Sentinel, Ebensburg, Pa, Thursday January 17, 1850, pg. 3: Notice is hereby given to all persons interested, that Letters of Administration have been granted to the undersigned, by the Register of Cambria County, on the estate of Henry Hunt, late of Conemaugh Township, Cambria County, deceased. Those indebted to said are required to make immediate payments, and those having claims, to present them properly authenticated for settlement. Signed: Elizabeth Hunt, Adm. __________________ CHURCH ARTICLE: Hunt, Elizabeth, nee Clemenson, was born in Yorkshire, England, April 6, 1809, and died June 23, 1895, in Cambria County, Pa. She came with her husband, Henry Hunt, and family to America in July 1830. They were members of the Wesleyan Church in England, and first settled with the Methodist Episcopal Church in Johnstown. In due time preaching was established in Brother Hunt's house, then a church was built, and the second one now stands on the same site. Sister Hunt was converted at twelve years, and was married in her seventeenth year, her husband being already a member of the church. Hers was a beautiful, devoted and noble Christian life. She maintained the strict observance of the Sabbath, and it was a great grief to her to witness violations of the sacred day, especially on the part of professors of religion. Her suffering during her last days were borne with cheerfulness, and she "was joyful in the house of her pilgrimage." She would say, "The lord is good to me and you are all good to me." She rejoiced in a full salvation, and adorned the blessed doctrine of holiness. She "was full of faith and the Holy Ghost." A large family connection remains and among her influence remains as "ointment poured ____." by Rev. J. L. Stiffy. __________________ OBITUARY: The Tribune, Johnstown, Cambria Co., Pa: June 24, 1895: Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Henry Varner, one mile west of Fairview, yesterday forenoon at 6 o'clock, age eighty-six years and two months.

"Near Johnstone, Feb 3rd 1849 Dear Friend, I was at Johnstown yesterday & got your letter & was glad to hear from you & that your family were all well; likewise that you were still striving in the good old way for if we all be Faithful we shall soon all meet where there will be no afflictions & partings. We are glad that you intend to come to America in the spring for we think you will do better in this country with your family than you are doing there. If you can raise the means to get to Philadelphia we can assist you from there to our home. We would recommend some of your friends to make a collection in the society to assist you to get over. You can said from Liverpool to Philadelphia or New Yourk (sic), the cost is about the same each way, only by New York is 3 or 4 days sooner. But if any of your friends can give you recommendations to any of their friends at Liverpool it will be of great benefit to you. W. Spensley of Reeth recommended us to one Anthony Barnes who treated us like a father but we do not know whether he is living or not. The fare across the ocean is from £3 to £4.10 each person, children half price. We have not heard of Metcalf Bell this 8 or 10 years, as for Galana we do not know much about it, only it is a great lead mining place. We do not know the exact distance, but we suppose it is between 2 and three thousand miles from here. You can go from here to Pittsburg & then down the Ohio River up which you can to to Galana, but whether it is the best way or not we do not know. We would like to see you come this way. You could get work here, they are making a new Railroad from Harrisburg to Holidasburg. This distance is 100 miles. From Holdasburg to Johnstown is 36 miles by Railroad. We live 6 miles from Johnstown. We are well known to many as we go every week to market. When you get there inquire for Jonathan Bowing. He is a pious local preacher & he will give you directions. It is generally the best time to come early in the spring, for they open the canals in March. You must write from Liverpool & let us know when you sail & what ship & where you land & whether we must send you money to Philadelphia or engage your Passages.....We farm our own we have 134 acres altogether. Between 30 & 40 acres are cleared. We have 2 horses, 6 cows, 9 head of young cattle, 50 sheep & 4 hogs. Your affectionate & loving friends Henry & Elizabeth Hunt Direct as below Mr. Henry Hunt, near Johnstown, Gar[side] County, Pensilvania, Nth America. To James Pratt PS.
