I have a "Lewis" relative in Mississippi, as early as the 1920-1950 period.

Hi folks, The name "Lewis" seemed to be of interest so some, so I checked my database and came up with seven (07) Lewis', as follows: 1. Lewis Hunt, b ab 1713, West Farms, West Cty, NY. 2. Rev Lewis Wilson Hunt, b 1769, Old Frederick Cty, VA. 3. Lewis P. Hunt, b 15 Mar 1797. 4. Lewis Hunt, b 07 Mar 1801, Poss Mt Pleasant, NY. 5. Lewis Clark Hunt, b 01 Oct 1814. 6. Lewis Hunt, b 04 Jun 1820, in either GA or TN. 7. Lewis Augustus Hunt, b 06 Aug 1857. Any Comments??? Allen D. Hunt/Line of "The 14"

It's been years since I looked at my old papers on these Hunts who were petitioners, but I'm fairly certain the line goes back to Maryland, then to NC/TN, and on to Kentucky. Due to some common given names they are sometimes mistaken for other KY Hunts. When time permits I'll look further.

Some of us call this the John Sr Hunt line. Most of the sons were born in the Shenandoah Valley or Virginia in the 1760s. They moved on to eastern TN, then to what became Bath & Fleming counties of KY. John Sr is believed to have died there in 1807. Some went on to Randolph county INdiana. Mary Overall is believed to be the mother of most of the sons. Tipton is a common name in this line and John Sr's mother may have been a Tipton. The Basset name included in the list of petitioners is probably Basil which is also a common name in the line. william hunt wrote: > It's been years since I looked at my old papers on these Hunts who were > petitioners, but I'm fairly certain the line goes back to Maryland, then to > NC/TN, and on to Kentucky.
