"Your Hunter line must be a similar one to the Hunters of Mecklenburg County. In "the Hunter Family" by William May hunter, he states that all five brothers came to Mecklenburg from N. Ireland with their widowed mother, after the death of their father, who had been a drapery merchant at the "Bleach Green" farm. this account is verified in the memoirs of Humphrey Hunter (his son) which are on file at the University of Chapel Hill, in the NC. collection. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2000 8:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HUNTER-L] Re: Dorcas H. Hunter Just wanted to say that I recall Dorcas as being a cousin of my ancestor, Robert HUnter, of Buncombe County, Roberts father was William HUNter, born ca 1762, Virginia, married Anne Caldwell, I believe she is the same line as mine, is anyone familiar with these names ? My Robert, (who married Susannah Stice) may have been this Dorcas' uncle, but at any rate I am sure there is a connection, Would like more info on this line if anyone out there has any, Does the Hunter Book in the Mecklenburg Library name William Hunter's father ? Would appreciate any info. Thanks, Genie
