Thanks for the info. I have looked at the Leonardo genealogy files and have not been able to find the reference to the power of attorney to THomas B. HUNT but have found the power of attorney to Thomas Blassingham as his "trusty friend". I know of no direct proof that this John HUNT who was sherriff of Greenville Co. SC was the son of Christopher HUNT. I have seen other references that Christopher HUNT died of Small pox during the revolutionary War. Does anyone have a source for this claim? THanks for everybodies help especially Sandy!
