I would say that it's a good possibility. Now you need to find them in an earlier census. I have the HUNTs in TN for 1850 and 1860, and I don't see that William, who would be 40 and 50 in 1850 and 1860, respectively. Wasn't this James Monroe HUNT listed as born in KY in a later census? I thought I saw something on that on the TNGibson-L list. I posted the HUNTs in 1880 in NW TN to that list and probably this list, too, and the HUNT marriages in Gibson Co. Is this your James Monroe HUNT in the 1880 census in Gibson Co., TN Hunt, James M., white male 25, b. KY, Gibson Co., Dist 11 Vol 10, ED 42, Sheet 3, line 24 Hunt, Puss, wife, 23, b. TN Hunt, Edie, dau, 4 Hunt, Samuel C., son, 2, b. TN Hunt, Gracie, dau, 7/12 This is the closest marriage record from Gibson Co.: Hunt, George W.
