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.
