I don't know if my THOMAS EPHRAIM HUNTER and his father HENRY JESSE HUNTER are related to the Hunters you named. That's what I'm hoping someone will tell me. Below is information I have about this family. My great aunt said once that either Henry Jesse Hunter or his father may have been a Methodist minister at one time. There was someone named Lizzie in this line, who my grandmother mentioned a few times and who I think may have been Henry Jesse Hunter's daughter Elizabeth Ann. Here is what I have on this line: Henry Jesse Hunter married Nancy Ann Jeter 4-4-1850, Union Co. Ark. (date from Nancy's Confederate widow pension application...he served in Co. H, 25th La. Inf.). From Union Co. AR, they moved to Union Co. LA (per 1860 census), then to Titus Co. TX (per 1870 census), then to McLennan Co. TX (per 1880 census). He died in Mclennan Co. TX 1-28-1885. Per the 1880 census, both of Henry Jesse Hunter's parents were born in SC, and he was born in AL (also per 1870 census). Children of Henry Jesse Hunter and Nancy Ann Jeter that I know of were: Thomas Ephraim 1855 (my ancestor), Nancy R. 1857, John R. 1858?, Elizabeth Ann 1858-61?, William E. 1870, Mary L. 1873. There are many gaps in these dates. Interested in hearing from anyone with connections to this line. S.M.
