Bill Hunt's message re William Hunt is a superior example of what one can do in the search for ancestors. The information is usually out there someplace. It just takes a little work and Bill has done just that. Well done Bill, We will try to help you further. Sandy Hunt in Lubbock

My grandfather's name is John Austin Hunt. His birth date is given as August 28, 1828. Court records, of his naturalization as a citizen, state that he was born in Ireland and that he emigrated to the U.S. in December 1844. Oral family history says that he joined siblings (in Philadelphia) after their mother had died. Reliable history says that he and his brother Jim sailed to California in the Gold Rush, where they were separated. I pick up documentation when he bought land and married in Johnson County, Arkansas, in 1855-1858. He married Amanda Jane Caudal/Caudal, daughter of A.C. Caudal, whom he met in California and with whom he returned to Arkansas. I also have military records for his service in an Arkansas unit of the Union Army during the Civil War and the pension records that followed. This family moved from Arkansas into Indian Territory about 1871, but no land records are found until after 1890. Any help out there will be greatly appreciated. I have not been able to penetrate further back than this. Thanks.

I would say that it's a good possibility. Now you need to find them in an earlier census. I have the HUNTs in TN for 1850 and 1860, and I don't see that William, who would be 40 and 50 in 1850 and 1860, respectively. Wasn't this James Monroe HUNT listed as born in KY in a later census? I thought I saw something on that on the TNGibson-L list. I posted the HUNTs in 1880 in NW TN to that list and probably this list, too, and the HUNT marriages in Gibson Co.

This came originally (I believe) from Brody. I (nor Catherine Gheesling, Mitch Hunt, Bill Hunt and Clara Hunt) put much "stock" in it.

Since my earlier post to the list, I have had a number of inquiries about my Hunt line in Gibson County, Tennessee. Therefore, I am going to post the full report of what I know about these people. My next step is to try to locate William Hunt and wife Elisbeth (Elizabeth?) with son James Monroe and daughter Susan J. in the 1860 Kentucky census. (County unknown) If anyone has access to this census and can check it for me, I would be eternally grateful. Here is what I know about my Hunts: Descendants of William Hunt Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM1 HUNT was born Abt. 1810. He married ELISBETH. Notes for WILLIAM HUNT: 1870 Gibson Co. TN Census, District 11, Dyer Station Post Office Enumerated 4 Aug, 2870 William is listed as a farmer with 1300 value of real property. Next door to William is listed a Gorge (George?), age 19 with wife Emerline, age 20, and a 6 month old named William. Could this be a child of William, brother of James Monroe? Children of WILLIAM HUNT and ELISBETH are: 2. i. JAMES MONROE2 HUNT, b. 10/April/1855, Kentucky; d. 08/April/1907, Trenton, Tennessee. ii. SUSAN J. HUNT, b. Abt. 1858. iii. HENRY HUNT, b. Abt. 1860. Generation No. 2 2. JAMES MONROE2 HUNT (WILLIAM1) was born 10/April/1855 in Kentucky, and died 08/April/1907 in Trenton, Tennessee. He married MARTHA (PUSS) PAIRLEE GRIER 1874 in Gibson County, Tennessee, daughter of SAMUEL GRIER and HARRIET CARL. More About JAMES MONROE HUNT: Fact 1: Buried at Grier's Chapel Cemetery nr Trenton Children of JAMES HUNT and MARTHA GRIER are: i. SAM3 HUNT. ii. NELSON HUNT. iii. MONROE HUNT. iv. EDDIE ROGERS HUNT. v. CORILLA HUNT. vi. REBEL HILL HUNT, b. 1886. 3. vii. ADDIE LILLIAN HUNT, b. 19/August/1888, Trenton, Tennessee; d. 24/April/1962, Memphis, Tennessee but buried at Jackson, Tennessee. viii. GRIER HUNT, b. 03/September/1893. Generation No. 3 3. ADDIE LILLIAN3 HUNT (JAMES MONROE2, WILLIAM1) was born 19/August/1888 in Trenton, Tennessee, and died 24/April/1962 in Memphis, Tennessee but buried at Jackson, Tennessee. She married VINCENT ARTHUR DESHAZO 12/July/1912 in near Trenton, Tennessee, son of LARKIN DESHAZO and LULA BURTON. Notes for ADDIE LILLIAN HUNT: Biographical sketch prepared by her daughter, Rheba DeShazo Pope As a young woman, Lillian could have been described as the "Gibson Girl" type - pretty, with poufed hair and a tiny nineteen inch waist. Born in 1888, her manners and deportment were Victorian - modest and reserved. Born and reared on a farm in Gibson County, Tennessee, she learned about hard work and adopted the Puritan work ethic as her own. She gave every task the fullest amount of energy, wanting it to be done to perfection. Later, when she had children, she brought them up on such axioms as "If a task is once begun, never leave it till it is done. Be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all." Lillian was fortunate in being born into a family that valued education. She graduated from Laneview College, which had been founded by her own father, James Hunt, and her grandfather, Samuel Grier, along with other members of the community. After graduation, she taught school in a one-room building where her duties included making the fires in the pot-bellied stove in winter, and drawing water from the well to fill the bucket with drinking water for her students. Lillian's family was very religious, and her grandfather Grier donated some of his own land to be used for the construction of a church and cemetery. The church was named "Grier's Chapel." The church still stands, between Trenton and Dyer, Tennessee, and is in use to this date. The nearby cemetery is filled with the graves of Lillian's parents, grandparents, and siblings. Lillian probably met Vincent DeShazo at a church meeting somewhere in the county. He began to court her and he became the chosen one, even though she had other suitors who even then showed more financial promise. She said that he was not the most dashing and attractive of her suitors, but she recognized his innate goodness and kindness as well as his devotion to God and His calling. They were married July 12, 1912, and had four children within the next few years. Lillian made a perfect "preacher's wife." She was dignified, reserved, politic, and well-mannered. She was a student of the Bible and was trained in "elocution" (public speaking). This made her useful as a Sunday School teacher, a Women's Society leader, and she even substituted as preacher on occasions when Vincent was absent. She was much admired by all members of the churches that Vincent pastored. She was almost opposite to Vincent in disposition, tending to be serious in contrast to his jollity, pessimistic to his optimistic outlook. But they tolerated each other's differences well. He would smilingly jolly her out of her low moods. She would indignantly reprove him for his exuberance, but with an indulgent tone in her voice and a smile threatening to break through her frowning demeanor. Everyone would be lucky to have such a marriage. They respected and adored each other. Every morning of his life, Vincent's first words to Lillian were, "You are the most beautiful girl in the world!" How great to face the day with the knowledge that someone thinks that about you! No wonder she could endure the hard times of life with such a man! In Lillian's lexicon, cleanliness was indeed next to godliness. Her house, clothing, bedding, and children were all scrubbed thoroughly and often. In the days before indoor plumbing, each child received a sponge bath every day except Saturday. On that day, it was a bath in a galvanized tub in water heated on the wood-burning cookstove. The advent of indoor plumbing must have been one of the most blessed events of her life, second only to marriage and children. She was an excellent cook in the famous "Southern" way. Her vegetables were seasoned with chunks of ham, side meat, or bacon drippings. Her pies and cakes were delicious perfections, and her hot breads were memorable. Vincent was provided his favorite hot biscuits with sorgham molasses every morning for breakfast. Even in the leanest of times, we children could count on three nutritious meals every day at our mother's table. They were good meals that left us feeling satisfied and happy, although my mother said that she had only one dollar per day to spend for groceries during the depression. Lillian was sparse with praise for her children. She let us know that she expected the very best effort from us and would be pleased with nothing less. It seemed a lot to live up to at times, but I am grateful for her training and I think my siblings are, too. Because of her value for education and excellence, all four of her children earned Masters of Education degrees, and all four had careers in the field of education. Lillian was very watchful over the health of her children, and nursed us through illness with loving care. We were kept in bed for two days after fever had broken, and kept inside for another two days before we were allowed to resume normal activities. While ill, we were sponged with warm or cool water, we were fed nourishing soups, and we were read to and watched over. I could actually "feel" love flowing from her hands into myself when she touched me. Vincent, too, was always a part of the sick bed scenes. When my sister and I were confined to a darkened room because of "sore-eyes," our dad would go downtown and return with enormous all-day suckers for us, which helped to pass the long hours of inactivity. After my own marriage, my mother, Lillian, became my best friend. She came to help out when each of my babies came. She gave me tips on house-keeping, cooking, and childcare, but she never meddled or gave unsought advice. To me, she was the perfect mother. Her gifts to me were countless; her love for me was boundless. I will miss her always. Linda Adicks Please visit our e-zine, "The Road To Special Education" http://thelinkto.com/Road/

I enjoy the discussions I see on HUNT-L, but seldom participate. But, recent treads about Dr. William Hunt have grabbed my attention because that is my name and my father's and grandfather's name is John Hunt. That's all. I have nothing to add to the discussion because I can't get further back than 1844 and an origin in Ireland. I wish I could. Bill Hunt in Louisiana

And the third family are my ancestors, R. H, and Susan E. HUNT (Richard H. HUNT and Susan E. MATTHEWS, who were married in Wilson Co., TN in 1843(?)). Their daughter Nancy HUNT married James W. WILSON in 1876 (?) in Gibson Co., TN. We're still looking for the parents of Richard H. HUNT and Susan E. MATTHEWS.

Susan, on looking at this census report, I had noticed that a Gorge (George?) Hunt, age 19, Emerline Hunt, age 20, and a 6 month old William Hunt lived next door to William Hunt, father of my James Monroe Hunt. I wonder if perhaps this Gorge (George) is also a son of William. It appears that Emerline Hunt here is the wife of Gorge (George) perhaps. As I look at your family group of R. H. Hunt, I notice that there is also an Emerline Hunt in this group, age 8. I don't think that Emerline was that common a name. Does this perhaps indicate some ties between the two groups of Hunts and/or families that they married into?

Michael- Some of us have many data bases on HUNT. In order to find names we need dates, locations and occupations. That will give us an indication of where to look. IN the south, north, New England etc. If you have death dates or born dates and state it is usually easy to ask for death certificates and birth certificates. From these you may often find parents names and locations. It isn't easy and sometimes takes a little mailing and and money to get documents. APPLICATIONS USUALLY CARRY MORE INFORMATION THAN THE DOCUMENT ITSELF. In my files I have the addresses in the states to which you may mail your vital records requests. If you have a state and a year a starting place is to find your relative on a census document. If you can't find them on the computer then you need to try the nearest LDS Family History Center. Their free serice will help you locate names. Once you find the name, the document will tell you where to find the Census sheets--full of good information. The numbers and locations of various services to help you can be found on <http"//www.Cyndislist.com>. They have all sorts of name lists. Sometimes you hit it lucky and someone recognizes the name right at the start--but such cases don't always happen. it is essential that you have a paper trail from you to each of your family members-copies of birth , death and marriage certificates so you can PROVE your relationship. Genealogy is not just names but biographical matters and history as well. It is of little value unless you can prove your relationship. No matter where you go in genealogy you will always be asked for documentation and usually the documentation tells you much. If you can't cite some sort of document then you will have a tough time. Start with yourself and get copies of mother and father's birth, marriage, military and other records including Social Security applications and records, then to your grandparents etc. Reaching way back based on heresay and trying to fill in the middle is usually a waste of time. People don't remember the details of the way it really was. Current case on Benjamin--I have 175 of them in 20 data bases. I will help as much as I can--so far no Benjamin that fits the bill.

I am dtrying to contact decendants of Roy Hunt Jr., Harry Hunt Jr?? who were in the Peoria area in about 1938. Also a sister of them, Mary Hunt Pierson from the Decatur area. They were related to my dad, James Dudley Hunt, who left that area in the early 1900s. They also might remember that about that time my sister, Mary Beth Hunt who was about 9 or 10 was sent to visit a lady she remembers as Aunt Dolly and lived in Decatur. I am sure my fathers brothers and sister are deceased but maybe some of their decendants are in the area still. Any contact will be appreciated. Harold E. Hunt Wichita, Ks
