Jerry, Norman , Pat, Dean et.al. AMEN. You saved me a message. This also is he case with all commercially sold genealogies. You may accept and use anything you wish but if it isn't proved don't forget the disclaimer-that is very important. When copying other peoples work DON"t leave out ANY disclaimers or question marks. This is what gets us into trouble. Probably oneof the best examples appear in death certificates whee the "informant" was not a family member but maybe a next door neighbor. It is esential to go to the source or use a disclaimer of some sort so that others will not take it as fact. I can see it coming--the LDS site is going to be a problem for all.On the other hand it will provide GREAT leads. Check sources. Have fun. Don't believe everything you read. Sandy . . .

I thought that you might be interested in this. The IGI is maintained by the Mormon Church but the information is not necessarily input by them. The church produces the IGI as a service to church members and non-members alike. Anyone can submit genealogy records for inclusion into the IGI. The church only requires that the information be in the proper format. The church does not check the accuracy of the information, that is the responsability of the submitter, so information in the IGI may not always be correct since it is submitted by many different people. The church will screen out and information about people who are still living. Only very limited information is available about living persons. I'm not sure if information identifying the person who actually submitted the information is available. You could probably find out from one of their Family History Centers with just a phone call. -----Original Message----- From: Mdeanhunt@aol.com <Mdeanhunt@aol.com> To: HUNT-L@rootsweb.com <HUNT-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, May 30, 1999 4:17 PM Subject: [HUNT-L] Ambrose HUNT, and wife Rachel >Hello Friends and Cousins, > >I have about decided that this passion called genealogy is a lot like a >baseball game.

The Mormon site is a major proof that you must take information with the proverbial grain of salt. The Mormon records provide an excellent starting point, but as you will have probably noticed, they advise you not to take their information as gospel. They have tons of data provided to them & no way to verify it. Much of what they have is also based on oral family history (and some on outright wishful thinking), & I have found errors in some of it. I have also found errors in my own family's oral history. As much as I hate it, I still have a lot of proving to do before I have the genealogy I would like (i.e.. - accurate). So far I do love their site, but will not accept any of it as fact. What I would like to find is proof of the relationship (if any) between Republic of Texas politician Memucan HUNT and my 4 Great Grandfather Nathaniel E. Hunt (b. SC abt. 1783, d. San Augustine, TX 8-8-1849) Jerry Murdock ----- Original Message ----- From: <Mdeanhunt@aol.com> To: <HUNT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 30, 1999 4:12 PM Subject: [HUNT-L] Ambrose HUNT, and wife Rachel > Hello Friends and Cousins, > > I have about decided that this passion called genealogy is a lot like a > baseball game.

5/30/99 Yes, the name of the submitter is available, along with how to contact them. If you go to the FHC, it is available on the computer screen. I haven't tried it on the online site, yet, but would assume it will be the same. Pat

Hello Friends and Cousins, I have about decided that this passion called genealogy is a lot like a baseball game. It is the bottom of the ninth, the score is tied, runners are on first and second. You think you have this pitcher figured out! Common sense tells you he is going to throw you a slider or knuckle ball, hoping you will pop up. But you know better; you are ready; you are going to smack that sucker to right field, right between the first and second baseman, because first is holding the runner tight and second is much too far to the left. Here comes the windup....and the pitch is a blazing fast ball, high and inside.......and your dreams of glory go up in a puff of dust from the catchers mitt. Okay..... here is my dilemma. My G-G-Grandfather, Ambrose HUNT of Halifax Co., VA, son of Joseph L. HUNT, of same had a wife named Rachel. That much I am certain of! Oral family history, and information found at Taylor Co. and Green Co., KY Historical Societies say her surname was TUNSTALL. Ambrose and Rachel named their youngest son, born 19 Jul 1796, Tunstall HUNT, we have all supposed, after Rachel's family. It is a proven fact that Ambrose and family knew, and were friends with Thomas TUNSTALL of Halifax Co., VA. Now comes the fast ball! Now that the Mormon Church has placed their IGI and other genealogical records on line, I thought I would do some confirmation of what I already "knew." Their IGI records show Ambrose HUNT married Rachel REED about 1789 in Greensburg, Green Co., KY. (film number 1985529) It has always been my understanding that Ambrose did not arrive in Kentucky until 1795. He wrote a power of attorney, signed 26 Sep 1795 (see Halifax Co., VA Deed Book 16, page 519) giving his brother, Joseph HUNT, Jr. power to sell property he owned in Halifax Co. Ambrose lists himself "of Phayette (Fayette) County, Kentucky." Also, page 518 of the reference listed, Ambrose HUNT signs deed for sale of property in Halifax Co., VA to Thomas Scates. Ambrose HUNT is listed in 1985 Heads of Household, Halifax Co., VA with seven white souls. Ambrose's oldest known child, Simeon HUNT, was born about 1778 in Halifax Co., VA. I have never been able to find a marriage record for Ambrose HUNT and Rachel TUNSTALL in the records of Halifax Co., VA, but have not completely checked Pittslyvania Co. records. Cousins; Friends; can you help me shed some light on this conflict. I accept the fact that Ambrose may have been married more than once, but that most likely would have been much earlier, and would have been in Virginia, not Green co., KY. Thanks all, M. Dean Hunt Louisville, KY

Please lt us know from what/where you are reading. I am familiar with Thomas who married Elizabeth ??? and their children. I just don't want to get into it if we are reading from the same material but with different targets or points of view.. Here is a piece of all that I know bout it: from our WEBSITE. Thomas Hunt "Patriot--signed "Oath of Allegiance" in N.C. (D.A.R. # 527989). D.A.R. members: Cathy Jean Cannon (#67114) and Patricia Ann Cannon (#671145). Was of Little Creek, Bute Co., North Carolina and later became Franklin Co., on NC tax list. See Pg. 38 Andrea. Will dated 27 Sept 1790. Inventory dtd 16 March 1791. DAR# 527989; 554961. See DAR Patriot Indx. P. 110, Vol.II. Also Clara's file. Deed of Thos. Hunt dtd 8 Feb 1789, children & some g.children named. Another son and daughter are unidentified except that the daughter married a Massey. This is the line of Jerry Arthur Hunt, 7105 Sansivera Cove, Austin, Tx. 78750, Ph.(512) 345-2402. Thomas and his son Henry had children who settled in Wilson Co., Tn. also, according to Jerry A. Hunt. Jerry also states: "Militia lists of Granville Co. N.C. 8 Oct 1754, show THOMAS HUNT, Little Creek, in Capt Benjamin Simms Co., under command of Col. Wm. Eaton. Thomas Hunt sold land to each of his male children on or near their 21st birthday (Henry Hunt, 22 Oct. 1765, Warren Co. N.C. Deed Book 1, pg. 210; Hardy Hunt, 21 Feb 1768, Warren Co. N.C. Deed Book 2, pg 257; John Hunt, 17 July 1779, Franklin Co., N.C. Deed Book 1, pg. 35.). Thomas bought land sold to Henry & Hardy from Wm. Drake of Edgecombe Co., N.C. 30 July 1764, Warren Co. N.C. Deed Book A, pg. 180. Thomas bought land sold to John from Bennett Hillsman of Bute Co. Feb 1778, Warren co. N.C. Deed Book 6, pg. 36. Thomas Hunt's LWT 27 Sept 1790, recorded March Court 1791, Franklin Co. N.C. Will Book A, pg. 76A. Included was grandchild Josiah Massey, son of a deceased daughter who (presumedly) married Drury Massey (since Franklin Co. Will Book A, pg. 121 shows Hardy Hunt as guardian for Josiah Massey's part of his grandfather's estate [$28 1/12]), and was for son of Drury Massey. See notes for Thomas' daughter Sarah Hunt, for details on other grandsons. See Andrea II, page 12 & 38. See Andrea II, page 13. Bottom of page: "Thomas Hunt of Bute Co., N.C. and his wife, Susannah Hunt---her dower. A deed signed 5 Nov. 1771 to Josiah Ely, of Bute Co., N.C., 250 acres on Peachtree Creek granted to Thomas Hunt 17 Feb. 1740. Witnesses: William Denson and William Massey." END

The Oakland Messenger -- Thur Dec. 10, 1925 DEATH CALLS MRS WILLIAM HUNT The death messenger visited our city Tuesday evening and called an old pioneer, Mrs Wm Hunt. Mrs Hunt had been ill for some time and suffered severely. Death was caused by dropsy. Susan E. Handley, daughter of Michel and Susanah C. Handley was born August 22, 1818 near Oliver, Clark county, Illinois. At the age of four years she, with her mother, moved to the farm known as the Tinsley farm where she resided until her marriage to Wm Hunt March 3, 1864 then she and her husband moved across the road to the farm known as the Hunt homestead and there their children were born and they lived all their married life except one four years term and then the eighteen years that they have lived in Oakland. Mr Hunt passed on at their home in Oakland, November 9, 1915 and she made this her home during the lonely years of her widowhood and peacefully fell asleep at 8:20 P. M. December 8, 1925. She and her husband united with the Baptist church in 1905 and she was faithful in life and triumphant in death leaving her testimony to her children that she was not afraid to die and said the things of the world had lost their charm for her and she was ready to go. Yet in all her suffering she was patient and trustful and on the last Sunday of her life she called her family about her, bade them goodbye, told them that she wished they would keep up their family reunions at the homes, be true to each other and preserve the spirit of an undivided family. Mrs Hunt had one brother and one sister, both deceased. She has two half brothers and two half sisters and one step sister living. The surviving children are Terresa R. Bradford, Louvisa E. Ashmore, Alvira L. Morris, Delphia M. Henn, Sherman W., Willis J. and Lawrence C. Hunt. The children deceased were George M., Alma S., William F. and Jestine H. She has 20 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren living, and one grandchild, Little Mary Irma, daughter of Mr and Mrs Willis Hunt, who preceded her to the better world. After Mr Hunt's death, young Raymond Arnold made his home with Mrs Hunt and was a very loyal friend and she was greatly attached to him and he will miss her care and sympathy. Mrs Hunt belonged to the sturdy, courageous pioneers of this township, the men and women, the real heroes and heroines of civilization who came and conquered this new country, leveled the forests and made the plains of Illinois blossom with the promise of beauty and plenty and left to the present and future generations all the comforts and advantages of modern life, material, intellectual and spiritual. Such souls do not die, they live on in this world in the lives of their children to whom is committed the task of carrying on in life, true to God and faithful to their fellowmen in every good word and work. May a mother's blessing always abide and inspire you to do your best until you are called to join her in promised peace into which she has entered. Funeral services were conducted from the Fairview church, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Willis Gill of Cloverdale, Ind. officiating, following which the remains were laid to rest in Fairview cemetery. The Messenger extends sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the children in the lots (sic) of their mother.

Thomas HUNT is believed to have arrived in old Granville Co. NC as early as 1747, probably from VA (IOW, Surry, Prince George?). He is shown on Militia List of that county in 1754. He is likely closely related to other HUNT families in that area, including a Henry, William, and another Thomas HUNT, but, thus far, no proven link has been established. He was married to Elizabeth (?), and presumably their union had issue of Henry, Hardy, (Dau.?, m.Drury MASSEY), John, and Sarah. The use of the given name "Hardy" suggests that Elizabeth's surname may have been "HARDY". Some families migrated from Franklin Co. NC to Sumner and Wilson Co. TN, later to Gibson Co. TN. The history of the son "John" is not defined. The daughter Sarah evidently had two or three children by a Daniel HARRIS, without marriage vows. The query for information on this HUNT line has been on-line often. Perhaps some newcomers onto the net might have information that will help solve this Thomas HUNTs origin, his connections to other HUNT families, and the dispersion of his children. Thanks for reading this. Jerry A. HUNT (5710 Fairlane Drive, Austin TX, 78757-4413)

Hi Sandy! This is info I received fromyou a couple of months ago. So I went to FHC and looked up the number you gave me. It produced a Fred R Hunt and his parents. His middle name is Roswell. He is my grandfather and was suppose of been born in (Rockland Maine), But according to the FHC computer this Hunt was born Pittson, Kennebec County Maine. He was born on 6 april 186l Which sort of agrees with some info I had before. His parent are Kngsbury db9 Sept 1827 Mother name is Elizabeth Cashman . They had 2 other children Ella Janette d/b 19 Jan 1852 and Kinsburg S d/b 20 Sep 1853. I have more info but I want to verify that this my grandfather. I would like to send for a birth certificate but not sure where to send for it. Any help you can give me very much appreciated. Bernice Ricker bbingo@mindspring.com Mesa, Arizona

On Richard HUNT's American Citizenship certificate 10th Aug 1858 it is stated: Born Jan. 1832 in Waterford Ireland, Arrived New York on or about 19th July 1855, Residence in Wrentham Massachusetts District, Occupation farmer. He arrived in Australia by,most likely, 1863 and married Alice Butler in 1864 in Melbourne,Victoria. They are my gt.gt. grandparents. Can anyone shed light on Richard HUNT's activities in America? Would anyone know on which ship he arrived in New York? ( or,for that matter Australia?) His parents were Thomas and Alice (nee POWER),Waterford Ireland. Maybe Richard had siblings who also came to America. Any connections?? Thanks from MaryAnn McCoey,Melb.Australia

Hi Sandy: I want to thank you I think I have a good lead on my grandfather. I went to FHC in Mesa and found His father and Mother listed on the computer thru the # you gave. I have been sick and it has been a long time since you gave me this info. Now all I need to do is verify theinfo I have. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe a birth certificate or something else, according to my info they were all born and married in Pittston, Kennebec county Maine I noticed that there is no web site for Maine on roots web. Thank you I very much appreciate it. Keep up the good work Bernice Ricker bbingo@mindspring

Without reproach in the sublime and stringent annuals of the Old-Colony patriarchs.1 Little information has been found on the descendants of Edmund (except through his son Samuel who inherited the Duxbury property) because fires destroyed the early records of Duxbury.

Does anyone on the list have info on Thomas Hunt who married Honor Stetson and had a daughter Mary who married Benjamin Southworth about 1766 at Kingston, MA. ? I would need all VR's on them and their parents, if available. I just discovered this connection to other Hunts. My own family didn't arrive in America until 1850. TIA. Royce Hunt royhunt@sprynet.com
