This is the Hunter line I was referring to. I'm a descendant of Henry and Martha Sloan Hunter. There is also a possibility that their widowed mother's name was Agnes (LeCarm) Hunter. She is on record buying land in Cabarrus/Mecklenburg County at the time corresponding to their first arrival. In Humphrey's memoirs, he states that his paternal grandfather (not named) was from Glasgow and that his maternal grandfather was a Huguenot from Brest, in France. this seems to match. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2000 11:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HUNTER-L] Re: Dorcas H. Hunter Genie, I have not seen the Hunter book but I am going to try to find a copy of it. This is very possibly the same line because Dorcas Hunter's earlier ancestors are said to have come from Derry, Ireland. The information that I have came from a FamilyTree Maker disk and is not my research but it appears to be accurate. The earliest was Unknown Hunter m. to Polly Hunter. Their children were: James Hunter Thomas Hunter John Hunter Henry Hunter b. 11 Aug 1751 in Derry, Ireland d. 17 May 1837 in Mecklenburg Co., NC m. Martha Sloan and had 12 children, one of which was John Hunter, father of Dorcas Hunter. Humphrey Hunter b. 14 May 1755 in Derry Ireland, d. 21 Aug 1827 in Lincoln Co., NC m. Jane Ross and had 17 children. Was a preacher for 38 years. Does any of this fit in with your Hunters? Betty
