Wilma asks about William Hunters from Pennsylvania.Ninety percent of the given names are identical to those in my line.This doesn't mean much in search as every generation had large families and used the same names over and over. If you know the county your ancestors were born in or lived in,it might help winnow out some confusing individuals. My line settled in Chester County,Pa.in 1722.There were other Hunters there earlier. If there is any interest here ,please respond.Please! Charles A.Hunter

The rev. Humphrey Hunter's own memoirs, the existing NC land records and parallel correspondence through the GENFORUM (see Hunter family GENFORUM online.) To be more precise, the name Agnes LeCarm came up. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2000 11:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HUNTER-L] Re:NC Hunters What source do you base this possibility on?

My g-grandfather was William Hunter, 1801-1881, who married Margaret Rhoden, 1808-1851. Both born in Pennsylvania according to 1850 census. Around c1825-30, they settled in Sandy Lake Township, Mercer County, PA, where they died. Children were Alexander R, Eliza Jane, Jacob, William Jr, John A, Sarah Jane, Joseph, James Wylie, Mary, Robert M, and Margaret Emily. After years of searching, this is all I have on either of them. Any connections out there? Wilma Edwin Hunter wrote: > Does anyone out there have a good grip on the many different Hunter > lines that entered the US? And where they are from?

There is a son of Theophillus Hunter and Jane Lane named Alsey. The dates would be similar. There is a possiblity that this Alsey was named for Alsobrooke (Alsey ) High of Wake CoNC Theophillus was a Rev. soldier. Theophilus had Henry (SR) Alsey, Edith, Irene and Theophilus Jr. Of interest to me is that you list a Joseph C. Hunter as a child of Alsey. My Henry Hunter who married Delilan Hawkins High named their youngest so Joseph C. Hunter He move to TN with the family and on to AR. He became a Physician and married Octavia Hodges who was the daughter os Gen.(CSA) John Little Hodges.He died in LA Beverly Smith [email protected] wrote: > Let me throw another Hunter family in the search. > Alsey Hunter c 1790 m Charlotte Jones 1/8/1810 in Wake Co, NC > children: > 1.

Hunter Hunters:-- I'm interested in discussion of the various Hunter's of Alexandria Va and Vienna (Ayr Hill originally). I'm inclined to believe that all of them are somehow related. I've got a fair amount of data pieces, but no grand links between all of them. Certainly evidence of property changing hands, rentals, and marrying into families doing business with each other, and common third parties. Hunter folk that I'm "playing with" include: --William Hunter "Sr." He married 2nd Christina "Kitty"Arell in 1783 in Alexandria. --William Hunter "Jr." (1731-1792) Some say the two are father/son; others say that distinction was arbitrary just to keep the two Williams of Alexandria who were contemporaries, but not known to be related, apart. I can't preclude that these two are really the same person...(?) It would seem strange for a 62 year old man to be marrying in 1783 for a second time; even stranger for his dad to being so...Hmmm? --John Hunter of Hunter Shipyard in Alexandria, VA (1760 Irvine, Ayr, Scotland - 1826 Alexandria, VA). I descend from this fellow. --John Hunter of Hunter's Mill of the Oakton, Va (Hunter's Mill Rd). --John Hunter of Ayr Hill, VA (Now Vienna, VA) (1746-1815) I'd really like to exhange data, ideas, evidence, references, etc. with folk working the ancestry of these families. I traveled to Ayr, Scotland last year and got some info on what I'm most certain were the parents of my ancestor John Hunter. They were John Hunter and Margaret Morrice (evolved into Morris). Again, it is my suspicion that many, if not all of the Hunters above are related in some way or another. The descendants of most of these men (and their spouses) are fairly well documented. I've only focussed one those that are from my ancestor John Hunter (1760-1826).

Sandi I have a Harrison Hunter who was married to a Mary Alford. they show up on the 1850 census for Woodcock, Crawford County, PA I have no middle name or initial as of yet for Mary. If this is a connection I may have more information. Good Luck Ralph HUnter

Ralph: When did your HUNTER'S come through PA? My MARY JANE HUNTER was from PA. Can't find anything else on her.... Sandi [email protected]

Conrad, I'm new to the Rootsweb Hunter circle. Do you have any information on the Hunters who went with the Boones from Rowan Co., NC to Fort Boonesborough, KY in 1780? Family history says that Jacob (g-g-g-g-g-grandfather) was one of the Hunters to go, along with his three sons, Jacob, Jr., John, and Samuel. A fourth son, Joseph, was born after arrival. Family history also says that my g-g-g grandfather, Daniel, is the son of one of them; but, didn't mention which one.... He was born in Jessamine Co, in 1792, married Mary "Polly" Roberts in Madison Co., and at some point later, moved to Boone Co., MO. He died there in 1858. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Cathy (Hunter) Arp

We may be on to something here! In Humphrey's memoirs he states that his paternal grandfather was from Glasgow. his maternal grandfather was from Brest (Brittany/ present day France.)I have heard but been unable to prove that the Hunter brothers mother was Agnes. there is record of an Agnes hunter purchasing land here (Mecklenburg County) during the said time of immigration. it is stated in the memoirs that she is buried in the Poplar Tent vicinity. The John Hunter that everybody is referring to is buried in Steele Creek Presbyterian Churchyard. My main problem has been the vast date differences between the "brothers" According to the memoirs, Humphrey's mother came with him after the death of her husband in Ireland. Henry (my ancestor) stayed to marry Martha Sloan and had one child, Humphrey before coming to Mecklenburg county. this name, Humphrey may be a key as it reoccurs often. there is also a name "Stanhope" that seems to reoccur. (Perhaps a family surname from the past) -----Original Message----- From: Robert Blahut [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 11, 2000 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [HUNTER-L] What Humphrey says Conrad, I saw your post on GenForum and answered it, then noticed this on my own Hunter-L e-mail. Since I dont know how often you check the other, I'll repeat it here. Your Humphrey mentioned a grandfather from Glascow who married a French woman. Are there any details? I am looking for a grandson of John and Agnes Hunter who probably married a French woman. The dates are off a little but you never know. My John and Agnes were from just south of Glascow.

While you are making that chart, don't forget the Hunters who left NC for TN and then on to other southern states. Unfortunately, I am still left in NC trying to find if Henry Hunter, AR, who married Delilah Hawkins High in Wake Co NC in 1823 was the the son of Henry Sr. or Jacob Hunter of Wake Co Or did he come from somewhere else, and was passing through Wake Co. on his way to TN >AR > LA.

Alexandria, VA was established by the Alexanders for which it was named. There were, however, Hunters who married into this family of Alexanders. The first Alexander,of this family of Alexanders, John Alexander, came to to Va in1657. Alexandria was established later on some of his original land grants. His sons Robert and Phillip Alexander inherited the land.
