Looking for William HUNTER was born we believe in either NY or PA in abt 1774. His parents are said to have came from IRE by way of CAN. He was living in PA around early 1800. William married Jane CARR(E) bef 1792 in PA. They had the following known children; Anderson R. abt 1792, Jabez abt 1800, Samuel - Jan 1820, George M. - 1826, and Jackson - 1830. I'm sure there were more children born to them. Sometime bet 1808-1812 William moved to OH where his sons had moved and his is found living with his grand daughter. He is said to have been a preacher probably of the Baptist Faith. SECOND GENERATION I know little about these son except Anderson R. and Samuel. Anderson served as a Justice of the Peace in Rockford, OH from 1832-1850. He married twice, first to Mary GRAVES and second toRebecca LILLIES\ANTONIDES. Rebecca was the widow of Jonathon Antonides. Anderson had the following known children; Anderson Jr, Jane, Martha, and Nancy Ann. Anderson died on Dec 1857 in Rockford, OH. Samuel L. Hunter married first an Ann ?? who we know nothing about at this time and second, Lydia HEISLER on Jun 5, 1851 in Henderson CO, IL. Lydia was born in 1833 in OH. Samuel and Lydia had the following known children; Charles Franklin - 1852, Hannah Jane - 1853, Sarah Elizabeth - 1855, John W. - 1858, Joseph - 1860, Mary - 1862, William - 1865, Deliah - 1867, Harriet "Hattie" - 1869, Olive E. - 1871 and Lydia Alline - 1874. Samuel and Lydia lived in Henderson Co, IL where all the children were born. Samuel died in 1902 and Lydia in 1901 in Republic CO, KS where his daughter lived. Jackson Hunter married a women named CALEY or EALEY on Mar 23, 1854 in Henderson CO, IL. This is all we know about them at this time. These Hunter's stayed mostly in Mercer, Auglaize, Ross and Stark CO's in OH until they moved to OK in the early 1900's while some of them moved to Ft. Wayne, ID and Henderson CO, IL and finally on to KS. I hope you see something that will connect us. I would love to exchange any information with you. Georgann whunter@omniglobal.net

>From Chapter 1 of Alexander Lecky's 1905 book, "The Laggan and its Presbyterianism we find the following description of the district know as the LAGGAN: "On looking at a map of the County Donegal, it will be seen that the north-eastern part of the county, which is the most northerly part of Ireland, is a peninsula washed on the eastern side by the waters of Lough Foyle and on the western by Lough Swilly. This is Inishowen, a mountainous and, to a large extent, a barren country. Immediately to the south of it is a fertile and comparatively flat country, lying between the river Foyle and the upper reaches of Lough Swilly, and extending in one direction from the City of Derry to Stranorlar, and in another from Lifford to Letterkenny. This is the district which in by-gone times was known under the name of THE LAGGAN, and formed the most productive and desireable portion of the ancient territory of Tyrconnell..." This is also where many of my ancestors and yours came from; Defenders of Derry during the great siege, the defining moment in Ulster Protestant history. To an Ulsterman the Siege of Londonderry is what the War Between the States is to an American. Shortly after this event great waves of Derrymen left for America, first settling in Pennsylvania and then moving down the Valley of Virginia and into the Carolinas. This genealogical connection between the families of those who fought at Derry and those who settled in Augusta/Rockbridge counties Virgina and the Settlement of the Northwest Carolina Frontier (Carolina Cradle by Ramsey) eventually reaches a climax on a little mountain in North Carolina on October 7, 1780. This is the area of history that myself and fellow researcher John Giocoletti from Florida have always wanted to explore in detail. This June we will be travelling to Derry and Belfast for some extended research into the family histories of those names that appear both in the records of the Laggan and at King's Mountain. Lecky's two books, "The Laggan and its Presbyterianism," and "In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery," published in 1905 and 1908 Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, North Gate Works, are a must for anyone wanting to discover their Ulster roots. The books real value for the genealogist is in the Appendix which is divided into several parts, the most important being the following: "The following are the names of men who attended the meetings of the Laggan Presbytery between the years 1672 and 1700, as ruling elders or as commissioners, together with the names of the congregations which they represented. They were doubtless the leading men in the districts in which they lived..." These lists are by Parish and I will give a couple of examples: Taboyn: Matthew Lindsay, John Aikine, Alexander Houston, Robert Cowan, Archibald Alexander, Robert Scott, Wm. Mackie, Wm. Bell, Robert M'Clellan, Richard Armstrong, Richard Moore, John Kilgore, Wm. Inglis, John Gay, John Harvey, David Paterson, George Brown, Robert Moore, James Marshall, John Graham Raphoe: Joseph Henderson, Edward Hervies, William Mills, Michael Henderson, Robert Anderson, Patrick Bell, Robert Dick, Alexander Stuart, William Ramsay, James Laird, Robert Walker, John M'Clure, Robert Gray, John Sproul Londonderry: John Craig, William Cunningham, John Campsie, William Rodger, James Fisher, Horace Kennedy, James Wilson, William Macky, James Lennox, William Smith, John Cowan, Alexander Lecky, William Davidsson, James Wallace, George Henderson, others In addition to the ruling elders there is a list of people from the Hearth Money rolls of 1665 by Parish and TOWNLAND which places a person in an area sometimes as small as a few acres. These lists are important when comparing names with the early landowners of Augusta county or the Baptismal records of the the Rev. Craig at Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church or the early settlers of the Yadkin settlement in Rowan county, North Carolina. I will be willing to furnish copies of these two books for a limited time to researchers who want to explore their Ulster genealogy. Many of you purchased copies of Professor Hagy's thesis, "Castle's Woods; Frontier Virginia Settlement" and I have received numerous e-mails about the quality of that document. I believe these two books by Lecky are superior in the information contained and if you would like a copy please contact me privately at cscunc@aol.com for the details. Any information John and I discover specific to your surname will be posted on the appropriate list after our return from Ireland. I will provide a list of surnames that have "made the cut" so far, the requirements being that the family is found in Derry and also found at King's Mountain. Any suggestions for additional names will be considered as long as the request is substantiated with a reasonable amount of documentation. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105 Names on the list so far: Alexander, Anderson, Bell, Black, Blair, Brown, Buchanan, Campbell, Cowan, Craig, Cunningham, Denniston, Edmondson, Finley, Fleming, Gillespie, Graham, Hamilton, Houston, Irvin, Kilgore, King, Knox, Lindsay, McClure, Maxwell, Moffatt, Montgomery, Moore, Ramsay, Robinson, Russell, Scott, Steele, Stewart/Stuart, Thompson, Walker, Weir, Young spellings may vary John and I will stay in touch with the various lists as best we can. It will not be possible to remain of all the surname lists all the time for obvious reasons. Feel free to contact me at cscunc@aol.com if you have any suggestions or questions. This may make a nice book one day.

This will either make you cry, give you cold chills or leave you cold, but it puts life into perspective! At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled = children, the father of one of the school's students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its = dedicated staff, he offered a question. "Everything God does is done with perfection= Yet, my son Shay cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is God's plan reflected in my son?" = The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. "I believe," the father answered, "that when God brings a child like Shay into the world, an opportunity to realize the Divine Plan presents itself and it comes in the way people treat that child." Then, he told the following story: Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, "Do you think they will let me play?" Shay's father knew that most boys would not want him on their team. But = the father understood that if his son were allowed to play it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging. Shay's father approached one of the boys = on the field and asked if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance = from his teammates. Getting none, he took matters into his own hands and said, "We are losing by six runs, and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can = be on our team and we'll try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning." In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind = by three. At the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the outfield. Although no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the = stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base. Shay was scheduled to be the next at-bat. Would the team actually let Shay bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all = but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, = much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher moved a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. = The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly toward = Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball to = the pitcher. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could easily have thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would = have ended the game. Instead, the pitcher took the ball and threw it on a high arc to right field, far beyond reach of the first baseman. Everyone started yelling, "Shay, run to first, run to first." Never in his life had Shay ever made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, "run to second, run to second!" By the time Shay was rounding first base, the right fielder had the ball. He could have thrown the ball to the second baseman for a tag. But the right fielder understood what the pitcher's intentions had been, so he threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head. Shay ran towards second base = as the runners ahead of him deliriously circled the bases towards home. As Shay reached second base, the opposing shortstop ran to him, turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "run to third!" As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams were screaming, "Shay! run home!" Shay ran home, stepped on home plate and was cheered as the hero for hitting a "grand = slam" and winning the game for his team. "That day," said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, "the boys from both teams helped bring a piece = of the Divine Plan into this world." And now, a footnote to the story. We all send thousands of jokes through e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages regarding life choices, people think twice about sharing. The crude, vulgar, and = sometimes the obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of decency = is too often suppressed in school and the workplace. If you are thinking about forwarding this message, you are probably = thinking about which people on your address list aren't the "appropriate" ones to receive this type of message. The person who sent this to you believes that we = can all make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities a day to help realize God's plan. So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice, do we pass along a spark of the Divine? Or do we pass = up that opportunity and leave the world a bit colder in the process? You have two choices now: 1. Delete this. 2. Forward it to the people you care about. You know the choice I made. I may not know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future!! ------=_NextPart_000_0090_01C1CACC.964C3380--

No, unfortunately, I don't know how my John Hunter landed in Ottawa. I do know that he had a few relatives in that area already. My focus was on his nephew, Samuel Gordon Hunter, who ended up in the same place -- then MARRIED HIS FIRST COUSIN, Sarah Hunter. John is sort of extraneous to my direct line, but Samuel went to Ottawa in 1840, and John was there for a year or so before. I understand that they sailed out of Glasgow though.... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!

I am researching the family and descendants of Robert S. Hunter; he appears to be born in Maryland around 1823 and died sometime after 1879. He was married to Susan. Their children were Mary A. b abt 1844, Jerome b abt 1845, Joseph M b abt 1847, Robert M. b abt 1848, Charles and John, twins b abt 1849. Joseph died in 1875. Jerome married Julia ? and had a daughter named Susan who died in 1879 at age 6. Robert, the son, was a plumber and married Susan Alice Kane. Robert (II) and Susan's children were Joseph M. b 1875, Ross b 1876 and Leo b 1887. I am descended from Joseph M. We know nothing of his 1st marriage, other than he had at least one daughter. His 2nd marriage was to Mary Beatrice Huster who was about 17 yrs younger than he, and their children were Joseph Edwin (Edwin), John Robert, Paul Louis, Betty, and William Joseph. Joseph M. died in 1940 of cancer.
