Hello List, While doing some research at The Filson Club today, I came across the following: Halifax Co., VA Will Book O, 1752-1773, pg. 79 JOSEPH HUNT Orphans Account The orphans of Joseph Hunt to Joseph Ashby: To boarding of Mary Hunt 12 mo. her washing & lodging, to boarding & schooling of James Hunt, Jr., William Hunt, Ambrose Hunt & Benja. Hunt Total: 15.2.0 At a court held for Halifax County 16 August 1752 (my note: I think this is incorrect) Joseph Ashby came into Court & made Oath that the above Account is just & true. After Joseph L. Hunt died, his widow remarried to Joseph Ashby, and he was apparently (have not found proof) as guardian of Joseph Hunts "orphans". My question, for you experts, is Mary Hunt a daughter of Joseph Hunt and his wife Rachel? I do not have her listed as a daughter. And is the 12 months her age, or the period of time the estate is being billed for? Oh, yes! My note re: 1752. I believe this is too early and would be more like 1757, from the date on other documents. I think Joseph Hunt died in early 1756. M. Dean Hunt Louisville, KY
