Hi Andrea, The 'UK Hunter hunters' is a small group, isn't it! As you may be aware, I have no links that I know of to Staffs or anywhere much further south than Lancashire and east to County Durham. So far, I can't even find any links northwards into Cumberland - they didn't seem to move around too much! It's alleged that one of 'mine' (Charles HUNTER, born 30.1.1875) emigrated to Canada around the turn of the century and I also have a distant cousin in Australia via a HUNTER marriage into the GANDY family. But that's it as far as 'far flung' relatives are concerned. As you have found with your Tamworth ancestors, I have continual problems tracking forwards to find missing ancestors as well! I keep thinking that there must be branches out there, if only I could find them... Regarding Hannah, the only one I've seen recently is a Hannah HUNTER, daughter of Thomas HUNTER of Crosby Garrett, Westmorland who was baptised 16.3.1681. As far as I know, she is not an ancestor of mine. I have now decided that, in order to make further progress (hopefully!), I shall have to begin to research and put together all of the HUNTER family groups for the whole of Westmorland (where possible), rather than just those from Kendal and district, as I have been doing until now. I haven't felt this to be necessary previously, as my line seemed to have originated in the town way back in the 1600s. But I've reached a stone wall (how many have said that?), so I'll have to look at alternatives. When this new research has built enough data to form something meaningful, I'll create a new web page on my site and notify the list. If it helps someone else, great! Kind regards, Nigel Hunter, Kendal, England. - -------------------------------------------------------- >Hi Nigel and others >Still looking for UK HUNTER people!! > >Mine were in Tamworth, Staffs in the 1700's.. not sure where they came >from but know they went to places like Willenhall in Staffs, Australia a >little later and some members of the family even went to Europe. > >Where are all the cousins from these early Tamworth people??? > >Also Nigel, did you ever have a Hannah HUNTER who married into the >CASSON line in Lancs/cumberland around 1770's??

Hi Rick: Well, if you almost fell off your chair, you should have seen the double take I did when I opened your email ! More than happy to share what little information I have. MARY JANE HUNTER b. July 29, 1827 PA . d. Sept. 4, 1902 Ogden, Weber Co., Utah. Married JAMES WESLEY SCOTT March 13, 1847. They were married in Philadelphia. I don't know if this is the city of Philadelphia or the County. Both were to have been from Bucks Co. PA. ( Some of this info is from family bible) MARY JANE HUNTER, parents: JOHN HUNTER b. PA (no date) MARY ELIZABETH VAN ZANT b. PA ( no date) The Scott family that Mary Jane married into had been in Bucks Co, ( Bensalem, Middletown ) and also Montgomery Co. and perhaps even Chester Co, from the birth of a John Scott in 1653. ( I even have a reference to just So. East PA. for one Scott....) so, geographically you are looking at, Chester, Bucks, Montgomery Co., and Philadelphia Co. I offer the Scott connection, only because it may also be a way to track the Van Zant name. Since I just received the Van Zant name I haven't had time to even decide how I would pursue it.... When I read it yesterday, I vaguely recall it in some information I went through on cemetery records in Bensalem, on the Bucks Co. PA roots link, several weeks ago. I need to go back and see if I can find it again. Will let you know. Great to hear from you ! Do hope this is of help... keep me posted. SANDI CA [email protected]

Dear Hunter researchers, The following inscription from a gravestone in the churchyard at Orton, near Kendal, England makes sad reading: "The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised up. What is now unknown, the Judgement Day shall reveal. Erected by an affectionate Father to commemorate the melancholy death of an only son who, on the night of Saturday Nov 18, 1837, upon his return from Kendal was waylaid and shot dead by a daring assassain and his money taken from him in a solitary lane not far from his own door. Thomas HUNTER of Archer Hill was cut down as a flower in the 32nd year of his age. By his loss an endearing wife and three children were bereft of their kind protector." Life can be very cruel, sometimes...

Hi Hunter Digest, To add to the email of 2 days ago. Mary E. Knight and John Hunter were residing in Robertson County, Springfield, TN USA around 1890 and before that a bit. I would love to learn something about them. Thanks, Carol

Kathy, Your birth and death dates for William Samuel Hunter cannot possibly be correct. Lynne Gantt

Hi Nigel and others Still looking for UK HUNTER people!! Mine were in Tamworth, Staffs in the 1700's.. not sure where they came from but know they went to places like Willenhall in Staffs, Australia a little later and some members of the family even went to Europe. Where are all the cousins from these early Tamworth people??? Also Nigel, did you ever have a Hannah HUNTER who married into the CASSON line in Lancs/cumberland around 1770's?? Would love to know her origins as I do not think it is the same line as my main HUNTER people. Ever hopefull of finding some missing cousins.

Does anyone have any information on a Robert L. Hunter. born Dec. 8th, 1775 in Orange County, N.Y. Married to Esther Clark(e) of possibly Vermont? Then moved to Clifford, Pa. (Susquehanna County) Geoff Hunter

Hi Charles: Since I sent you my email this morning, I received in the mail today, a copy of Mary Jane Hunter's death certificate. Getting it was a long shot! This has more information on it that I have ever known about her...You can imagine how excited I am...She is my GGGrandmother. Father: JOHN HUNTER, b. PA Mother: MARY ELIZABETH (VAN ZANT) HUNTER b. PA Mary Jane would have been born in 1827, according to her age and death date. Does any of this help with your " unearthed" Hunters? Or, perhaps it will look familiar to someone else... I sure hope so. Thanks for your help! SANDI CA [email protected]

I am again looking for information on my great grandfather, William Samuel Hunter born Dec. 25, 1826 in KY and died April 28, 1975 possibly in east TX. I have not been able to locate a place of death. He was married to a Grace Ann Davis (Darup) (born abt. 1840 in MS) in Gonzales County, TX on November 1 or 2, 1858. They had two children: William Samuel Jr. and Thomas Ann. He then married Martha Locke Davis Miller (born March 5, 1833 in TN and died November 10, 1893 in Gonzales County, TX) in Gonzales County, TX on April 19, 1865. They had three children: Mary Emily, Robert L. and Joseph Alexander. Martha had been married to a W. Miller and they had two children: William W. and Fannie. My grandfather always told the "story" that his father had owned land and horses in KY and was a horse trader. Also he may have left KY or TN under questionable circumstances. The story was that he had been married and had found that his wife had been "dallying" with a soldier. William may have injured or possibly killed this man. After this he left the area. This is only a story!!! He appeared in Gonzales County TX in the early 1850's. I am hoping that there is someone out there that can help me find exactly where he was born and who his parents were etc. Thank you in advance for your help. Kathy Huber Bruce

Does anyone have a connection with David Stewart b 1752-m Barbara Staley and they had a son, John)-John married Mary Ann Hunter-(they had a Daughter Barbara Stewart)-Barbara married William Richardson-(they had a son Thomas James Richardson-He married Elizabeth Catherine Hunter)? The Richardson's are from PA, The Stewart's began in Rowan Co. NC and ended up in PA, and the Hunter's are from PA. Anyone who has any connection with these people feel free to drop me a note! Thanks a Bunch! Barbara L Richardson

Dear Charles Hunter, The only way I know of HUNTER is that it is the middle name of my uncle JAMES HUNTER BATES. His grandaughter, years ago said that they had HUNTERS in their family and I have never found any on the BATES side. She made this remark to my neice in 1981. She will not answer countless messsages phone messages nor will she answer letters and we have given up on her. You cannot force people to be helpful. We do not know the reason for her amnesia. We know only the Bates side and can only hope to one day find out why my uncle has HUNTER for a middle name. The furthest we have gone back with Bates is JOHN BATES who was born on the Island of Guernsey in the channel Islands. He was born there in 1774 and married there about 1800. He died in Philadelphia after 1850. He had a wife named Mary who was also born in GUERNSEY in 1780 and died in Philadelphia after 1850. They had a son named Charles BATES who was born in Guernsey 1815 and died after 1860 in Philadelphia. We do not know who CHARLES BATES Married except that she was born in Phila and died there before 1860. CHARLES BATES at least one son named WILLIAM BATES who was born in Philadelphia March 1835, married first wife Margaret Jane Jenks about 1855 or so and had two sons by her and she died about 1860. He married again April 9th 1865 in Phil and WILLIAM DIED october 5th 1911. William fought in the civil war from 1861 to 1865. After he married second wife he had 11 n more children , one of which was my grandfather WINFIELD SCOTT BATES, who married an Elizabeth Marie Mohr and theu had teo children, my mother MARY ELIZABETH BATES,who married a Joseph Edward ALMOND. and my uncle JAMES HUNTER BATES, Need anymore or are we not related?

Charles: I am interested in the Hunter family groups you have "unearthed" in and around Philadelphia. How far can you track them? I'm looking for a Mary Jane Hunter. My info says Bucks, CO... But, could be in Bristol or Philadelphia... information is not documented. She was born July 29, 1827. She married a James Wesley Scott, from Bucks Co. in 1847....Scotts, apparently in this area for some time. Is she among your found Hunters? SANDI CA [email protected]

Sandi: I do not have a specfic on your line.just a possibility(reach).Hannah Harris(nee Rogers of Bucks County,purchased Kentucky land at Chester County,Pa. Courthouse sale.Her sister,MARY Rogers m James Hunter of Bucks County. James and Mary became invoved in litigation over title to some Kentucky land.This suit disappeared in 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia in 1787. My knowledge(or suspicions)ends there.If I had details of suit I might have better fix on Mary hunter who might well be Mary Jane's ancestor. Charles A. Hunter
