Hi John, My dad's name was Jess Hunter also, all I know about my grandfather was his name was James, and I have been told he went by Jim. He married Lizzie Dunlap, we have been told from texas , I don't know if this was the first Marriage or second, other than my dad there were Cal, Harvery, Earnest, Ida, Dona, and Frank Hunter that I know of. Any sound fimiliar. My dad died in 1977 at the age of 69. Thanks, Phyllis Heath -----Original Message----- From: John E.
