My wife and I just returned from a quick four-day genealogy trip to Erie county, Pennsylvania. There were at least two separate and unrelated Hunt families in Erie county during the early and mid-1800s. We were researching the Henry Hunt family of Mill Creek township (just outside of Erie), not the Simeon Hunt family of Waterford (although we did go to Waterford and view their tombstones and the old Hunt House there). Henry Hunt's first wife was Mary Simons (or Symonds-?), and his second wife was Delana Church. I have a lot of information on Henry's family and would like to correspond with others researching this family. Does anyone else have information on this Henry Hunt family? Don Nutt Adrian, MI.

Oakland Messenger IL Newspaper Thursday July 21, 1921 SAD DEATH OF CHILD Mr. and Mrs. Willis Hunt Lose Their Only Child After a Short Illness Mary Irma Hunt aged 3 years 10 months and 27 days daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Hunt, passed away Tuesday night July 19th following an illness of two days. The little Miss took sick Sunday night with convulsions and notwithstanding the fact that all that all that medical skill and loving care could do was done, the spirit passed from the little body and winged it's flight to the God who gave it. Mary Irma was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Hunt. She was a beautiful little child with a bright and sunny disposition and was worshipped by her parents. With her pleasing smile this little tot easily won a place in the hearts of all those whom she met. Only those parents who have lost their only child can know the sorrow which has visited this home. Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon, July 21, at 2:00 o'clock from the Fairview church, Rev. A. M. Lowry officiating, after which the remains were laid to rest in Fairview cemetery. The Messenger joins the community in extending sympathy to the heartbroken parents.

I received the link below, from a friend. Although I didn't find anything that I could use, I thought I would pass it on. One of the people on another list has already found a photo of her g.g. grandfather. http://users.erinet.com/31363/fordand.htm

Oakland Messenger Oakland IL Newspaper Thursday March 19, 1931 DEATH CALLS SPLENDID LADY Mrs. Sherman W. Roberts Answer Call Thursday Evening Mrs. Sherman Roberts passed away at her home in the Fairview neighborhood Thursday evening March 12, at 8:00 o'clock following a long illness. The writer can add nothing to the obituary written by S. P. Curtis which fully depicts the splendid life this good old mother has lived among us. John Dollar was born in Perthshire, Scotland July 1, 1807. He followed farming and at the age of 33 years he left his native land on a sailing vessel and was six weeks on the water landing in New York in June 1840, thence by canal and lakes to Chicago and then paid forty dollars for team to bring him to East Oakland township. He was married to Mrs. Sarah Hunt Curtis April 8, 1847 and located on the old Dollar farm in 1849. Of this family two are living, Mr. Ralph Dollar and Mrs. W. J. Griffith of Shelbyville, Ill and a half-brother, Mr. Charles Curtis of Oakland. Sarah, the subject of this sketch was born Nov. 1, 1852 on the Dollar farm and attended the district school and three years in the Oakland grade schools when T. S. Whitmore was principal and later attended the high school at Charleston for two years. In her girlhood she was a devoted daughter, was modest but happy in spirit and lovable as a friend and school mate. She was married to Sherman W. Roberts at her father's home on March 26th, 1874 and after five years they located on the farm where she lived until her passing from the scenes of this life at 8:00 P. M., March 12, 1931, closing a life of seventy-eight years, four months and eleven days. There survives the husband and the following daughters: Mrs. Sarah Hawkins, Mrs. Lillie Hawkins, Mrs. Maud Covalt, Mrs. Grace Redden, Mrs. Josie M. Naphew and one infant daughter preceded their mother to the life beyond. Also seventeen grand-children and ten great-grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were converted January 30, 1886 in the church at Harmony in a meeting conducted by the Rev. E. B. Randel and united with the Methodist Episcopal church. When this church wasbuilt in 1889 under the ministry of the late H. C. Turner they transfered to this church. She and her family were active in the church until the marriage of her daughters and in late years her broken health prevented her attending services. In her passing the husband has lost a loving, loyal wife and companion; her children, a true and devoted mother; the church, a staunch and unwavering member and for we few of her life-long friends that are left, another golden link in memory's chain has been added that binds us in love and interest and hope to that home eternal, peaceful and painless whither we know she has gone. To the younger people present it seems perhaps this is all that should be said but I am moved by my feelings and thoughts stirred by the memories of the past by my close associations with the people of this church and community and by the consent of the pastor and the family to ask your indulgence. When I visited the Roberts home Friday afternoon and witnessed the scenes so recently enacted in my own home when I took the hand of my friend and the grief stricken daughters and when they gave me the early history of Coles County, from which to obtain the dates connected with the life of the pioneer Scotish emigrant, Mr. John Dollar, and I read of other names of the men and women who have gone on, and later in the day I came into this church building with the undertaker and pastor, a moving picture of panoramic scenes and faces passed before me. I remembered out there in this cemetery was the sacred dust of my earliest ancestors that came to this country. My grandfather, Carlos Curtis and my uncle, Nicholas Curtis, neither of whom I have ever seen. Faces appeared in these pews that have long since been hidden by that veil that "so thinly intervenes between that fair city and me." Young people, great problems are facing you for solution of homes, church and state. Mr. Curtis then read a few verses of the Scottish bard, Robert Burns, they breathe the real Scotch spirit and estimate of human life and character of his time and the time when John Dollar stood on the deck of that sailing vessel and with his family watched the receding shores of his loved land fade away. He was of the vast host of early emigrants that came to these wild shores and made their homes in these fertile fields and built this wonderful civilization that we of today enjoy. We welcomed the emigrants then. But today how changed the scene. The bars are up, the cry goes out to halt the horde at Ellis Island and carefully count the quota to come in lest the Banions and the Capones and similar types flood our country and destroy our laws and institutions. Think gravely, young people and wisely, try to determine how much of this is due to the countries from which these people come and how much to the corrupt officials and politicians who exploit these people for their own selfish aim and purposes. Gaurd well, we beseech you, these principals, these wonderful institutions that these passing fathers have built and dedicated to human progress and to your care. Funeral services were conducted from the Fairview church Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, Rev. W. G. Montgomery officiating. The church would not near accomodate the large number if friends who gathered to pay their respects to Mrs. Roberts. Interment was made in Fairview cemetery.

The Oakland Messenger IL Newspaper Thursday April 2, 1931 Willis J. Hunt Dies Sunday Funeral Tuesday Afternoon at Fairview Church The death angel visited our city Sunday morning about 4:00 o'clock and called one of Oakland's finest men and citizens, Willis J. Hunt. Mr. Hunt had been ill for some time and the end was not unexpected by his wife who has been constantly at his side and his relatives. Mr. Hunt was born near Oakland and all his life has been spent in this vicinity. It was a life beyond reproach as far as the editor of The Messenger knows and all will tell you that Willis Hunt was fair and square in all his dealings with his fellowmen; that he was a splendid citizen, a kind husband, a good neighbor and a man who held the respect of all who knew him. Men of sterling character like our friend are bound to be missed in any community and their passing is noted with regret. The Messenger joins the community in extending sympathy to the bereaved wife, brother and sisters. Willis J. Hunt son of Mr. and Mrs. William Hunt was born November 20, 1880 near Oakland Illinois and all his life was spent in this same community. On December 5, 1906 he was united in marriage to Dimple Hogue of Oakland, Illinois. The following years were full of happiness and greater joy was added on August 24, 1917 when a sweet little daughter, Mary Irma, came to bless their home. After four short years this little treasure was called to her heavenly home. Failing health and broken hearts prompted Dimple and Willis to move to Oakland where they resided until Willis' death March 29, 1931. Willis was a Christian man having been converted at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Swinford in December 1916 at a cottage prayer meeting during Brother Cummins revival at Fairview. He was always ready and willing to help his friends when possible especially in sorrow and need. He will surely be missed by his faithful companion, Dimple, one brother Sherman Hunt, four sisters, Mrs. Tressa Bradford, Mrs. Louvisa Ashmore, Mrs. Delphia Henn; his father, mother, one sister and four brothers having preceeded him to the Great Beyond. Besides a host of relatives, Willis will be mourned by scores of friends and neighbors but our loss is Heaven's gain. His thoughts were all so full of us We never can forget; And now we think that where he is He must be watching yet. Waiting till we come home to him, Anxious if we are late, Looking from Heaven's window, Leaning from Heaven's gate. Funeral services were conducted from the Fairview church Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, Rev. J. L. Goleman officiating, assisted by Rev. Nashley of Paris and Rev. Montague of Kansas, followed by interment in the Fairview cemetery. Fred McAdams and Harry Morris sang "Sometime We'll Understand" and "Going Down the Valley." Will Lauher sang "Does Jesus Care," accompanied by Mrs. Will Lauher at the piano. Pallbearers were: Shelton Swinford, Ed Willorbuy, William Moody, John Dollar, Louis Honn, Sherman Hawkins. The following ladies had charge of the flowers: Mrs. J. A. Hartley, Miss Fern Hunt, Mrs. Irene Temples, Miss Viola Swinford and Mrs. Fern Cooper.

I thought I would pass some of this information on to the list as others may find it useful.

Ô¿Ô Searching for a past. --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- From: "Elreeta Weathers" <ecw@htcomp.net> To: TABAR-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TABAR-L] TX Legislature and Genealogy Date: Mon, 3 May 1999 13:48:30 -0500 Message-ID: <B0002709788@hamextw01.htcomp.net> This is ALL of the information I have. Elreeta Weathers in Hamilton, TX 1. Forwarded from another list: IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT CAN GO TO AUSTIN TO THIS COMMITTEE MEETING, DO SO!! IT IS MAY 5TH AT 7AM. HB 836 HAS ALREADY MOVED TO ANOTHER COMMITTEE AND COULD BE PASSED! We need to band together and stop this bill. It will cause our newer researchers a lot of problems if they can't have that little "GEM" to get their first information. And we certainly don't want any more PUBLIC records closed to the public!! If you can't go then contact your State Senator. 25 or 50 years is a long time to wait and too long for some of us!! -----Original Message----- From: Rebecca Osborne [SMTP:rebecca@osborne.org] Subject: Fwd: HB 836 Date: Sun, 2 May 1999 22:07:48 -0500 Here is part of a column that ran in the Houston Chronicle last week concerning the HB 836 closing public records of birth and death indexes. We need to write, fax or call our legislators and the Chair of that committee (listed below). We have a couple of days. The meeting is Wednesday morning on the 5th of May. This will really hurt our research abilities. ------------------------------------------- 2. From: Bobbie Ross <bwross@htcomp.net> and Coryell County, TX GenWEB This comes under the heading "for your information" and was passed on to me by someone who cares: HI Fellow Genealogists: In case you have not heard there is a bill in the Texas Legislature that might close the indexes to death and birth records in Texas for 25 and 50 years, respectfully. My column on Saturday April 24 will state most of what we know about the bill at this time. The column is already on my website at http://barnettesbooks.com Just click on read the columns. Scroll down and click on April 24. The column was submitted this morning for a Saturday publication date. Since being notified of this bill by Tommy Burns of Houston, I have found out only a little bit more. Supposedly, the bill was submitted to clarify the current law. The intent of the bill was to clarify the existing law and help open birth and death indexes in counties where the county clerk felt they were closed (At the same time, other county clerks felt the indexes were open). While in committee an amendment was placed on the bill stating the indexes would become open and public when the actual records (birth and death records) became open and public. According to the amendment the indexes would be closed for 25-50 years until the records themselves are public. The HB 836 passed the Public Health Committee in the State House of Representatives on March 30. It was referred to the Senate State Affairs Committee. As of today, the bill does not have a Senate sponsor. If we cause enough rancor, it is possible no one will take on the sponsorship of the bill and it will die in committee. On the otherhand, if a sponsor is found, we want to be on record requesting a hearing. At that hearing, we would need to flood the room with genealogists and other concerned citizens. While a law clarifying the present confusing law might be welcome, amendment on HB 836 closes the birth and death indexes until the actual records become public which is 25-50 years. .Monday night I contacted Jack Brissee, Chair of the FGS/NGS Records Preservation and Access Committee. Jack and his committee work with genealogists and other organizations all over the country when records are threatened with closure or misuse. He jumped on it and has faxed a letter to the Chair of the Senate State Affairs Committee. He has urged everyone to contact all genealogists, genealogical, historical and other concerned organizations to write a calm, collected, but, concerned letter to the Chair of the Senate Affairs Committee and to our own Senator concerning this bill. The Honorable Florence Shapiro Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs P.O.Box 12068 Capital Station Austin, TX 78711 Another bill in the legislature each of you should be aware of is HB13. This bill seeks to allow adoptees to obtain their original birth certificate upon reaching the age of 21. HB13 has met with the hostility of child placement services and birth mothers. Currently it is held up in committee where it may die. Part of the HB 13 awareness may have had some effect on HB 836 because both have to do with vital statistics registration If you wish to pass this letter around, please feel free to do so. I have included this mailing to a number of my columnist colleagues around the country who might wish to be alert to what is happening, down here, in Texas. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who hears any news on this matter. Thank You, MIC Mic Barnette's Writes a Weekly Genealogy Column In The Houston Chronicle. Read it on the Web At Barnette's Family Tree Book Company http://barnettesbooks.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- 3. This is something that could eventually effect our own state in which we live. So please give the state of Tx your support! Thank you Kathy <<Hello everyone! I am forwarding this e-mail from Jack Brissee, Chair, FGS/NGS Records Preservation Committee. We need to send letters ASAP! I know as genealogists we can and will make a difference! Please forward this information to everyone who can offer support and inform all genealogists. This is something that can happen with any state. We must stay aware of the bills being passed in our legislature! Thank all of you for your help in this matter of great concern. Paula Parke, Texas State Genealogical Society, District Representative for Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Fannin, Grayson, Hunt, Kaufman, Rockwall Counties Tue, 20 Apr 1999 21:05:40 -0500 To: ccraska@aol.com, shirleyrs@aol.com, lansup@ix.netcom.com From: Jack Brissee <jbrissee@execpc.com> Subject: HB 386 - Birth and Death Indexes This message is from the RECORDS PRESERVATION AND ACCESS COMMITTEE of the FGS and NGS By now you have probably heard something about Texas House Bill 386, an act relating to access under the public information law to birth and death indexes. This bill, if passed into law, would close birth and death indexes for 50 and 25 years, respectively, following the event. The attachment to this message provides detailed information. Mic Barnette alerted me to this situation. He has taken action to pass the word and to encourage Texans to write the Chair of the Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs in an attempt to have the bill changed or defeated. I am contacting you to encourage the involvement of the Texas State Genealogical Society and the Dallas Genealogical Society in this effort. We would specifically urge that your members write Sen. Florence Shapiro, Chair of the State Affairs Committee, members of the committee, and the state senators for their districts to ask that there be a full hearing at which genealogists have the opportunity to testify before any further action is taken on HB 386. Letters, messages and phone calls should be civil, rational, and should ask for sensible action such as early notification of hearings and the opportunity to testify. Thank you for your cooperation. 19 April 1999 The Honorable Florence Shapiro Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs P.O. Box 12068 Capitol Station Austin, TX 78711 Dear Senator Shapiro: I am writing on behalf of genealogists in Texas and nationwide with respect to House Bill 836, an act relating to access under the public information law to birth and death indexes. HB 836 has been referred to the Senate Committee on State Affairs, but as far as I can determine, has not yet been scheduled for public hearing or committee action. I urge you to ensure that a full public hearing on this bill is conducted, one for which genealogists are given adequate notice and at which they have full opportunity to testify. The bill was introduced with the purpose of clarifying the right of public access to indexes of birth and death records. The records themselves are closed for 50 and 25 years, respectively (Sec. 552.115, Government Code), but the Code makes no mention of indexes. HB 836, as introduced stated that birth or death indexes are "public information and available to the public." The House Committee on Public Health adopted an amendment to the bill which would make the indexes "available to the public upon the anniversary of the date on which the record becomes public..." (emphasis added) thus completely reversing the purpose of the bill as introduced. This totally contrary version of HB 836 is the way in which it passed the House and has been referred to your committee. I am unable to find any record of the basis for this remarkable change, and genealogists learning of it have been, to say the least, shocked. The change to the purpose of HB 836 is quite incomprehensible and is certainly contrary to the basic thrust of Chapter 552, Public Information, of the Government Code, which proclaims the principle that public records should be open to the public unless there is very good reason to close them, and which places the burden of proof on those who would seek closure. The indexes involved provide but limited personal information (name, county and date of birth or death, and the file number of the birth or death record) thus posing no threat to privacy. The limited information is, however, important to genealogists and others who have legitimate reasons to know the dates and general locations of the birth and death of persons in their family lines. I am therefor appealing to you and your committee to ensure that the right of genealogists and other members of the public to access to these indexes is protected. With sincere appreciation for your consideration. Respectfully, John A. Brissee Chair, Joint Committee on Records Preservation and Access, Federation of Genealogical Societies and the National Genealogical Society 529 Echo Valley Road, Brooklyn, WI 53521 Fax: 835-9750 E-mail: jbrissee@execpc.com>> 4. From an Autrey Thanks to Mr. Dan Morales, "research copies" are almost a thing of the past. This is not a law that forbids the County Clerk's office from giving uncertified copies, just their "policy" since Mr. Morales "suggested" they only offer certified copies, this brings in more money to the counties. I can't afford certified copies of all the things I want just in Bowie and Cass counties alone. Just makes me ill to think of what will be closed in the future. Makes me want to work harder on all my lines to get as much as I can possibly find. I'm not even working on my side of the family, but my husband's side and NONE of them are working on the Autrey side.

Try again to see if anyone has any info on this Hunt family. Need info on John Pinkney Hunt, b. 7/26/1831, d. 2/10/1859 in Crockett Co., TN, buried in Floyd's Chapel Cemetery, Maury City, TN. Have no idea where John Pinkney was born and no info on his parents or any siblings. It's as if he sprang out from under a rock fully grown with no background! John Pinkney Hunt married Louansey Hall before 1859. Louansey was born 9/6/1840 and died after 1885 in Crockett Co., TN. She is also buried in Floyd's Chapel Cemetery. John Pinkney and Louansey had 13 children as follows: Sarah Margaret Washington Hunt, b. 2/22/1859 Samuel Pinkney Hunt, b. 1/24/1861 William Isaac Hunt, b. 7/6/1863, d. 10/5/1940 in Crockett Co., TN (Floyd's Chapel Cem.) Frederick Claybrook Hunt, b. 2/8/1866, d. 1/7/1887 in Crockett Co., TN (Floyd's Chapel) James Jeremiah Hunt, b. 8/4/1868 John Eugene "Jack" Hunt, b. 11/29/1870, d. 7/15/1914 in Crockett Co., TN (Floyd's Chapel) Martha Louansey "Hattie" Hunt, b. 9/4/1873, d. 12/3/1889 in Crockett Co., TN (Floyd's) Thomas Renshaw Hunt, b. 9/28/1876 Lillian Louease Hunt, b. 11/15/1878 Walter Poston "Wat" Hunt, b. 9/14/1881 Benonie May Hunt, b. 12/19/1885 (10:45 am) Penonie Maude Hunt, b. 12/19/1885 (11:00 am), d. 3/2/1886 in Crockett Co., TN (Floyd's) The above information was sent to my grandfather, Aubrey Hunt, probably about 1958-59, with the following notation: "Copied from fly-leaf of Grandpa Hunt's Family Bible Oct. 1, 1958, 99 years later. Sent by Aunt Nonie (Benonie May?) Gullett, 462 Dunlap St., Jackson, Miss." My grandfather, Aubrey, was a son of John Eugene "Jack" Hunt, listed above as a son of John Pinkney Hunt. My grandfather would NOT talk about his family, except to tell my mother once that "If you look too far back, you might find a few hung as horse thieves." He also made mention once that he understood that his Hunt's came out of North Carolina. This was all he would ever say about his family. I do remember my grandmother talking about Uncle Will Hunt, (William Isaac Hunt) and Uncle Wat Hunt (Walter Poston Hunt), so I do know that William and Walter did live in Crockett Co. in their later years. I have no idea what happened to "Grandpa Hunt's Family Bible". Probably one of the other siblings listed above got it and passed it down through their part of the family. Is there anyone out there who has any info that could maybe help me find John Pinkney, his parents, siblings, etc? He has been a stonewall for my family for years. Would appreciate any help I can get! Jackie - Lenardo@bellsouth.net
