Posted on: Columbia Co. Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ga/Columbia/562 Surname: Hunt ------------------------- I have been trying to break out of a blind alley on William Lucius Hunt (1811-1872) of Crawford/Houston County by following up on Georgia Hunts with similar names as I have found in William Lucius Hunt's family tree and by following Hunts that drew Land Lots in the 1821 Land Lottery. Three coincidental leads point toward the Fitzmaurice Hunt (1756-1822) line from Ireland to Columbia County. First, Fitzmaurice's son Henry H. had a son named James Monroe Hunt, who migrated from Columbia County to Mississippi. My William Lucius Hunt had grandsons named James Monroe and Henry. Second, A Tiba Hunt and a Henry Hunt from Columbia County won land in the 1821 Lottery near Crawford County. Tiba Hunt won in Monroe County (I think part of Crawford was once in Monroe County). Third, William Lucius Hunt's family had some connection to South Carolina and Columbia County sits on the SC border. These leads may turn out to be pure coincidence, but they are interesting enough for me to want to know more about Tiba and Henry Hunt of Columbia County. I have obtained the Dunning Gedcom which starts with Henry Hunt (1721-1802) in Ireland. It shows that Fitz Maurice had only one son, Henry H Hunt (b 1793). It sounds as if there were other sons. I would be interested in the names of any other sons and their children. I would be most appreciative of any additional information that you may provide on this Hunt line. If you have a Gedcom of Word file and want to send that, please do....Lee Hunt
