In the past there have been several postings concerning this family and I thought that I would throw this out in hopes that it might lead to something. Grandison Hunt married Bideth Haymes ca 1825 and her brother, David married Jane Hunt. Bideth and David are probably the children of Joshua Haymes. Joshua Haymes' brother Caleb's daughter Mahala married William Hunt. About 1835 all of Caleb's family moved to Webster County Missouri. Mahala and William had a son that they named William Bass Hunt. He was always referred to as "Bass" Hunt. I know that there are several researchers who have Bass connections. Hope this helps. I can provide further information on this family although they are not my direct line. I descend from Reuben Haymes, brother of Joshua and Caleb. Kay Silkey Kay.Silkey@mcmail.vanderbilt.edu
