    3. Try again to see if anyone has any info on this Hunt family. Need info on John Pinkney Hunt, b. 7/26/1831, d. 2/10/1859 in Crockett Co., TN, buried in Floyd's Chapel Cemetery, Maury City, TN. Have no idea where John Pinkney was born and no info on his parents or any siblings. It's as if he sprang out from under a rock fully grown with no background! John Pinkney Hunt married Louansey Hall before 1859. Louansey was born 9/6/1840 and died after 1885 in Crockett Co., TN. She is also buried in Floyd's Chapel Cemetery. John Pinkney and Louansey had 13 children as follows: Sarah Margaret Washington Hunt, b. 2/22/1859 Samuel Pinkney Hunt, b. 1/24/1861 William Isaac Hunt, b. 7/6/1863, d. 10/5/1940 in Crockett Co., TN (Floyd's Chapel Cem.) Frederick Claybrook Hunt, b. 2/8/1866, d. 1/7/1887 in Crockett Co., TN (Floyd's Chapel) James Jeremiah Hunt, b. 8/4/1868 John Eugene "Jack" Hunt, b. 11/29/1870, d. 7/15/1914 in Crockett Co., TN (Floyd's Chapel) Martha Louansey "Hattie" Hunt, b. 9/4/1873, d. 12/3/1889 in Crockett Co., TN (Floyd's) Thomas Renshaw Hunt, b. 9/28/1876 Lillian Louease Hunt, b. 11/15/1878 Walter Poston "Wat" Hunt, b. 9/14/1881 Benonie May Hunt, b. 12/19/1885 (10:45 am) Penonie Maude Hunt, b. 12/19/1885 (11:00 am), d. 3/2/1886 in Crockett Co., TN (Floyd's) The above information was sent to my grandfather, Aubrey Hunt, probably about 1958-59, with the following notation: "Copied from fly-leaf of Grandpa Hunt's Family Bible Oct. 1, 1958, 99 years later. Sent by Aunt Nonie (Benonie May?) Gullett, 462 Dunlap St., Jackson, Miss." My grandfather, Aubrey, was a son of John Eugene "Jack" Hunt, listed above as a son of John Pinkney Hunt. My grandfather would NOT talk about his family, except to tell my mother once that "If you look too far back, you might find a few hung as horse thieves." He also made mention once that he understood that his Hunt's came out of North Carolina. This was all he would ever say about his family. I do remember my grandmother talking about Uncle Will Hunt, (William Isaac Hunt) and Uncle Wat Hunt (Walter Poston Hunt), so I do know that William and Walter did live in Crockett Co. in their later years. I have no idea what happened to "Grandpa Hunt's Family Bible". Probably one of the other siblings listed above got it and passed it down through their part of the family. Is there anyone out there who has any info that could maybe help me find John Pinkney, his parents, siblings, etc? He has been a stonewall for my family for years. Would appreciate any help I can get! Jackie - Lenardo@bellsouth.net
