Hello HUNT Hunters, I have a photo copy of the following regarding the estate division of Joseph L. Hunt: IN OBEDIANCE to an order of Halifax County Courts bearing date the 15th day of this instant, We the subscribers have divided the value of the slaves oh Joseph Hunt, decd., among his children to wit. Robert Robinson, John, Joseph, James, William, Ambrose, Benjamin & Rachel who intermarried with John Ashbee (Ashby?) and find each child's part to be Twenty four pounds thirteen shillings and fourpence with interest thereon from the time they respectively came of age 'till paid. Given under our hands this 21st day of August 1776 Signed: Walter Coles, Isaac Coles Returned: 20 November 1777 Today, while researching at The Filson Club in Louisville, I found the following, which I had not seen before: 4 October 1763. This is to certifie that my father, Joseph Hunt died intestate & left an estate of land, negroes & other personal estate, and James Hunt became security for my mother's administration...and upon her marriage with Joseph Ashby, the sd. Hunt was apprehensive the estate was likely to be wasted & summoned Ashby to Court to give counter security which he failed to do... The Court ordered the widow's thirds to be laid off, and the other two thirds they put in the hands of sd. James Hunt for the use of Sd. Joseph Hunt's children (six negroes, land & (pound sign) 40 personal estate), all of which I acknowledge to have received as heir at law.. Signed: R.R.Hunt Wit: J. McCraw (sic), Thos. Tunstall Recorded 16 August 1764 This receipt from Robert Robinson to James Hunt... Now, my sister maintains that Rachel (who intermarried with John Ashbee/Ashby was a daughter of Joseph Hunt and Rachel Robinson. I, on the other hand, thought that, perhaps, this Rachel was the widow of Joseph Hunt, because I knew that she had remarried to an Ashby. I now believe my kid sister was correct, and the widow Rachel married Joseph Ashby, as stated in the above. My question now is, was John Ashbee/Ashby the son of Joseph Ashby? Questions.....questions.......one answer only brings two more questions! M. Dean Hunt Louisville, KY
