Dean I do not know anymore than the stuff I am quoting. Its all Felicia's. Thanks for the heads-up. I took that off the top of my head without checking. I have to take back that Ireland line. I don't know where I got it. Here is part of the origin of RALPH as quoted by Felicia Gourdin. ******************************************************************** " From Gheesling: "Ralph Hunt, age 22 transported from London to Virginia on the PRIMROSE, by certificate from Min. of Gravesend, 27 July 1635. Is called "Brother" in the will of John (see RIN #3558). 'A' Ralph Hunt was listed as a 'transportee' by 1636." END ----- Original Message ----- From: Dean Hunt To: Sanford B. (Sandy) Hunt Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 7:20 PM Subject: Ralph HUNT Hello Sandy, In your response to Barbara Beck re: James HUNT and Rhoda Nunnalee you made a statement that really piqued my interest. You stated that James' ancestor, Ralph Hunt, came from Ireland. I had always been under the assumption that Ralph was from England! In Hotten's records Ralph HUNT sailed from Graves End, at the mouth of the Thames, aboard the ship "Primrose" on 27 July 1635. Do you have something to indicate otherwise? I have never been able to pinpoint just where Ralph Hunt "of Charles Parish" was born. It seems as if every third HUNT in early 1600 England was named Ralph! Respectfully, M. Dean Hunt Louisville, KY
