Can anyone explain the following? 1. If James Hunt's birthdate is 1729 and Rhoda Nunnelle's birthdate is 1733 and the marriage date is 1787 that would make Rhoda 54 when they married and her first child born when she was 55. My limited mathamatical ability tells me this can't be true! Maybe for him but not for her. 2. Is there any proof for James Hunt coming from Ireland, except the DAR record? Does this mean James came from Ireland or his ancestors came from Ireland? 3. How do we know he could have been Presbyterian? I can find nothing in the archives of the List that helps me with the above. Thanks, Barbara Beck

BArbara- I think you have some dates wrong. As for religion James is related to several Presbyterian ministers. Regarding Ireland--it was his second great grandfather, RALPH, who came form Ireland.
