A MS written in the last centurary has just found it's way to me. It appears that HENRY HUNT of Cappawhite, in Ireland, having settled his family after the death of his 2nd wife took a notion to emigrate. He with one of his brothers, nephews and cousins took 300 emigrants and settled at Viewmount State of Georgia, North America. He purchased large estates and subsequently married Mary, the daughter of JAMES RYAN of Cappaghwhite (one of his old tenants), and one of the party he took out to America with him. They had issue, James Constance and Phineas - all born at Viewmount. At the declaration of the American War of Independence all British subjects were ordered to leave. Consequently Henry with his 3 children and wife started for Ireland and left the state in charge of his friends and those he took out with him as emigrants. He arrived safely to Ireland, lived there for a considerable time. and died at the advanced age of 84 None of that branch returned to America, however his brother, who I think was called Fitzmaurice Hunt remained. The other unusual Christian names used by that branch were: Damer, Piercy Dawson and Vere. Ring any bells with anybody? Cheers, Peter in Ireland.
