Dear List, I am at school this morning but wanted to see if someone could help clarify this family for me. I was researching the 1850 Greenville Co., Other townships, Image 22 of 305 and it shows a William Bates b. abt 1795 and wife Jane [Hunt] Bates along with thier children as follows: William age 21 --- Waddy age 18--- Susan age 16--- Esly age 14--Abraham age 10---Eliza age 10--- and Emily age 8. What I am wondering is, dads page shows William Bates married Jane Hunt abt. 1820, and then married her sister? Jincy Hunt abt. 1830. It appears to me that Jane and Jincy must be the same person because Jane appears in the census with William. It also show William Bates was 55 yrs. old on the census which was taken 6 Aug. 1850, which would have been almost 3 months after he died on May 18, 1850. I was wondering if anyone could help me straigten this out. I am showing my friends today in class this afternoon how to research the census since we gave T-Cap going on in some classes. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. I would be gratefull if you could share some stories or any pictures of the "Hunt14" families that you may have. I think it is so neat to find out about our relatuves. Also if you know of someone that would be willing to share thier family stories with me I would appreciate it. I can assure you that anything you share will be given credit to you. Thank you and take care. Ed Hunt Jr. 5th GGson of Esli Hunt

I came across this land grant while researching my line. I thought someone might benefit if I sent it out.

I may have been misunderstood about my email yessterday telling the list about the will of Memucan Hunt. I don't have the book I mentioned to do lookups. I got it off the internet at HeritageQuest.com. It is a online book which takes incredibly long to download just one page. If you want to have acess to HeritageQuest ask your local library if they subscribe to it, most local libraries do and they allow you to access it from home with your library card. And the best part is that it is FREE. So call your local library it is worth it. I don't have the full will either I just sent out what the book did say about the wills. What I typed is the only mention of Hunts in that book. If you a want a copy of the will the book does say which will book it is in and what page number it is. You will have to write to Grainville Co NC to get a full version of the will. I am sorry for any misunderstanding I may have caused. If I had the book I would do lookups for everyone who emailed me. But if I did online lookups for everyone I would never leave the computer since the pages take so long to download. And I have a toddler to chase and work to do so I am sorry to say I cannot do look ups. I do always try to email out what I find on the Hunts when I do my research for Archibald Hunt. And I will have more information on NC and TN Hunts shortly, I am typing up more stuff today. Tara

I came across this marriage and thought I would share it. Thomas Hunt to MAry Jenings 1/21/1800 in Charleston NC

still trying to find Dad of Thomas Hunt on 1880 Muscogee Co.,Ga census. My g'Dad is his son, Charles Wm. Hunt b. to him (& then wife Sallie) in 1877. From listing of daugter Mary's age on this census I see Tom had a wife prior to Sallie. I'd also like to know relationship of "other" Hunt men listed with this family. So please take a look to see if you can i.d. any of these Hunts as being your kin, if you have access to 1880 muscogee census. Would enclose it if I could! thanks, Dot Hunt-kin seeker in NJ~!

I have been looking closely at the 1790 census records for a long time now trying to find clues to Archibald Hunt b:abt 1789 NC. I suspected he was born in Chathum since that is where he bought his first piece of land in 1807 at the age of 18 for 50 pounds. He first shows up on the 1810 in Chathum as well so I was being led to Chathum Co. But yet none of the census indexes showed a Hunt in Chathum Co in 1790 and only 1 in 1810, Archibald Hunt. I was looking more closely at Samuel Gilmore census records (father in law of Archibald Hunt) when I looked a few names down from him and was amazed!. There were TWO UNCOUNTED HUNTS! The writing is not that bad but it is a bit sloppy. I compared the letters to others on the same page to make sure I was right. Sure enough I was! Down to the style of writing for all of it. It was my best weapon that I have used many times before. There are only seven families that have a surname that starts with the letter H in this census in this county and they are all in alphabetical order. The last two H names can be mistaken for Hart but that wouldn't make any sense since those two names should have been at the top of the H list by alphabetical rules. I believe that they were mis-transcribed. One of the two name clearly has a Hu and the name under it resembles Ha, not any sense there. So I believe that these are the correct transcriptions for ... 1790 North Carolina CHATHAM HILLSBOROUGH DIST Series: M637 Roll: 7 Page: 207 John Hunt 1 0 0 0 0 Wm Hunt 2 4 3 0 0 For those researching Archibald Hunt here is a new theory. Remember just a theory! In 1807 Archibald Hunt bought 50 acres for 50 pounds in Chathum Co from James Demare. That is a lot of money back then for one so young. And even it was saved that is still a large amount of money for one so young. So I think that is was an inheritance money. This deed record states "...sixty poles to a sassafras in said branch thence south in such a course as to include the Houses of said Hunt at the field at the mouth of rocky river..." Now how many 18 year olds does anyone know who has "Houses" and 50 pounds to spend on extra land???? Not to mention that in 1810 Archibald Hunt was the ONLY HUNT IN CHATHUM CO. Which means that this William Hunt (who fits the age ranges to be the father of Archibald) was his father then he must of have died before 1810 and this was all inheritance. I did notice a William Hunt and John Hunt both had wills in the year 1807 in NC in an index book but I will have to send off for the records. Anyone else care to add to this new theory? Tara

Dear List I would like to introduce myself to the list and seek thier help. My name is Ed Hunt Jr., age 13 and in the 7th. grade. I live in East TN. and I am the 5th Great Grandson of Esli Hunt, born January 10, 1759 in Bedford Va. I have been studying and prepareing an on going paper on the "Hunt 14" families since I was in the 5th grade. My dad came to our school and gave a lesson on how to trace your family. For about a year I have been collecting as much information just on Esli's family as I can find. Mr. William Hunt has sent my dad a great deal of information on Esli and his Rev. war papers that has been really valuable to me in my endeavor. Now I am in hope that some of the descendants of Esli Hunt, or any of his brother's and sisters or thier descendants would be willing to share any stories, pictures, old cooking tips, ways of living in thier times, or anything that they would be willing to share of thier families. It would be nice to have a copy of documentation if possible to show my sources. My school and some of the boosters have given me a small grant to work on this project in exchange for me helping to teach family tracing in 2 classes a week. I do not plan now or in the future to place any of the information I recieve on the "Web", and I will gladly give credit to any and all who can find time to help me with this project. All information recieved on "LIVING Relatives" will be noted as Living and the full names will not be put in the papers I'm working on. This project means a great deal to me and I hope to keep cont. it at least through High school and on into my college years. I really got inspired deeply by the papers that Mr. William Hunt of New York sent my dad. My class thought they were so neat that you could find real signatures on Rev. Pension Papers. Like I said I've only been working on this a couple years using the work my dad has recieved from many people including Ms. Gourdin and Ms. Miller and others to numurous to name. I am willing to share all information if the donor gives me permission to do so. I want to thank everyone in advance for any help they can provide me. My personal e-mail address is: [email protected] . This is different from my dads, but he has given me permission to join the list under my name to seek help. Thank everyone in advance for your support. Ed Jr.

I just got a break I hope in tracing my Hunt line and I was wondering if anyone has Calvin Hunt b,ABT 1782 VA married to Nancy Gunno or Gunoe b,ABT 1788 KY,In this Hunt line living in Ohio I have found that these surnames are connected with this line Fradd -Johnson or Johnston.There is a Comfort Fradd listed as granddaughter to Nancy Hunt, and in one census record a family is living with Calvin and Nancy Hunt, Aaron and Susan Johnston,b,Va and several of the Johnston children,In another census these Johnstons are listed as Johnson not Johnston.Thank you for any help you can give,Lois

I was just wondering if anyone had seen the name Lucynha in any of their papers. My great great grandfather had a sister by this name but as for the spelling I don't know how to be sure. I assume it was pronounced like Luciana and I don't believe that it would be very common. Just hoping.

Numbers are not the only thing to be skeptical about. I have an ancestor that was born in Ireland, Scotland or Canada - depending on which census you believe. Be wary of spelling, too. Many of us have been caught in the "My family always spelled it this way" trap. Many of our ancestors could not read or write, and depended on others to write their names correctly phonetically. One of my ancestors had her name spelled two different ways, at the same church, in one day, and a third way a year later. I know HUNT is hard to misspell, but every time one of them gets married, it brings another name into this madness we call genealogy. Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards, as progress.

I saw the Wilson Co., TN for Thomas HUNT , b. ~1747 in MD with notes about the 1820 census in Wilson Co., TN. You name neighbors including Hardy Hunt, Jesse Hunt, then Thomas Hunt, John Hunt. Do you know the relationship between these HUNTs and your Thomas HUNT? We're looking for the parents of Richard M,. HUNT, b 1824 in Wilson Co., TN,. We hadn't checked the 1820 census, but we did check the 1840 census for Wilson Co., TN. The only HUNTs with a child of the right age in their household in 1840 are John HUNT (age 40-50), Matthew HUNT (age 40-50) and Matty HUNT (age 30-40). John HUNT is on p. 188, near James HUNT (age 40-50). Matthew and Matty HUNT are on p.288 near Hardy HUNT (age 30-40), Jesse HUNT, (age 30-40), and Elijah HUNT (age 20-30). William HUNT is on p. 287 (age 20-30).
