Hello Hunt Listers I have not posted in a long time -- need some input about contradictory information I have come across. In a (large) nut-shell: Theodore Lansing Hunt -- b. 1869 Watertown, Jefferson Co. NY; son of Horace S. Hunt & Harriet L. Bailey Theodore 'supposedly' married Gertrude L. Loftus, daughter of Peter Loftus and Margaret unknown of Watertown, NY. I am uncertain where this info originated, but I suspect it came from the Wyman or Bond books. Theo & Gertrude apparently had had 5 daughters: Harriet Mary, Lillian E., Margaret E., Florence K. and Gertrude C. I have been unable to verify this marriage!! What I have found is Theodore L. Hunt listed on the 1870 & 1880 census in Watertown -- BUT not with Gertrude. His wife is listed as Bridget (b. 1846/7 in Ireland). In 1870 they have one daughter, Hattie, age 7. By 1880 they have 4 daughters: Hattie -10; Lillie - 7; Maggie - 5; and Florence - 10/12. I have not found them in 1900 or 1910. By 1920 Theodore is married to Emma B. (b. 1860 OH). The kids are gone, but his widowed older brother Horace is living with them. Calvary cemetery, Watertown, Jefferson Co. NY [also called Huntington cemetery] - surname index (no dates were given) found online shows Bridget Hunt, Lillian Hunt & Marie Hunt buried there. In Sec. B of Pamelia cemetery, Jefferson Co. NY - there is an inscription for Emma B. Hunt, wife of Theo. L. 1859-Jan 15, 1924. I have not yet confirmed the death date of Theo. Hunt, but believe it was in 1935. Can any Hunt researchers out there help me out by giving me the source for this supposed marriage to Gertrude Loftus? It had to have come from somewhere! Thanks Sharyl Ferrall -Alaska-

Hello Sharyl In the Genalogical and Family History of the County of Jefferson, New York, compiled by R. A. Oakes, The Lewis Publishing Company, 1905, appears a family history of Theodore Lansing Hunt, including his Civil War service and marriage Feb. 8 1869 to Miss Gertrude L. Loftus, who was b Mar 17 1846, in County Galway, Ireland, a daughter of Peter and Margaret Loftus. Children are as listed: Harriet Mary m Edward Gaubrue of Watertown; Lillian E. m Will Warren, resides in Utica; Margaret E. m. Clark C. Gerow, resides in Belleville, Canada; Florence K., teacher; Gertrude C., a stenographer in Watertown. Theodore L. is now a student at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn. This was a contemporary account of Theodore Lansing Hunt, and no other wives are mentioned. The Theodore L. listed among the other children is presumed to be a son, but is not specifically identified as such. The article does state that Theodore Lansing Hunt had resided in Watertown since leaving the army.

If DOB for Theodore Lansing HUNT is 1869 he would have been 1 or less in 1870 and 9 or 10 in 1870. Theodore L. in 1870 & 1880 censuses, if related, could be uncle or cousin to Theodore Lansing HUNT. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharyl" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 1:51 AM Subject: [HUNT-L] Theodore Lansing Hunt > Hello Hunt Listers > I have not posted in a long time -- need some input about contradictory > information I have come across.
