----- Original Message ----- From: Renay Hunt Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 9:16 PM Subject: your Hunt Family I read your post with interest.I am researching my Hunt Family, with the oldest being Samuel David Hunt b 1789 in Union SC. He died in Florida. You indicate you had Hunt relatives in Florida, with Pearce ties. It wouldn't happen to be Eunice Eva Pearce who married Tomas Filson Hunt. Eunice b1896 d.1976. I also have an Olivia Pearce married to a Bethea. Renay Hunt I will have to look into this further or rather your line as this is in the backyard of where my Hunts are from. They're also from NC originally and migrated back and forth. With Hunts in both Bradley & Polk County and on the border of both and only 20 minutes away from McMinn Co line, it's quite possible there's a connection. I will see if I can find out. But on the other hand, you never know if it's just a coincidence. :) Also Smith is one of our primary surnames and our Smiths lived right near the Hunts. My grandmother, who was a Hunt, married my grandfather, who was a Smith. I did a quick search on ancestry but was unable to find anything other than a Smith on that page as well as a Pearce. Pearce's are also a family name and married into the Hunt line of our family. They have a Hunt reunion in that area every June I believe. Unfortunately I'm never able to get up to TN at that time of the year, and grew up not knowing the Hunt side despite them being in our backyard so to speak. Not to mention never knowing my grandfather because he was always somewhere else whether it be Florida, NC, SC, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anson and Bernice" <abraymond@earthlink.net> To: <hunt@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 5:09 PM Subject: Re: [HUNT] Jessie Hunt-son of Grandison >I will have to look into this further or rather your line as this is in the >backyard of where my Hunts are from.
