I understand from older family that my grandfather's name was james hunter, and he was born in ga. or tenn. I was told he died somewhere in oklahoma around 1908. Just hear say. I am a Hunter from arkansas, my father's name was Jess and he had several brother's and sisters. Harvey, Frank, Cal, Earnest, Dona, Ida Belle, and maybe more that we know nothing about. -----Original Message----- From: Bobby Smith <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, October 08, 1999 10:13 PM Subject: Re: [HUNTER-L] James S Hunter, TN/AR >It is indeed an accomplishment, when you are able to find a Hunter connection.We >are all thrilled for you. >Can anyone tell me why so many Hunters left TN and went to AR? >If we knew, would we find that many were related? >God Bless, >Beverly Smith > > > >> From: [email protected] <[email protected]> >> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> >> Date: Friday, October 08, 1999 9:15 PM >> Subject: [HUNTER-L] James S Hunter, TN/AR >> >> >Yea!!
