Judy, I wish i knew if there was a conn., but as of now i know very little about my Hunter's. To answer your 1st question, my family is all from around Whitley co., Harlan co., and Bell co., Ky. I'm not to sure about Tenn. I do know my g-parents were married in Valley Creek, Tenn. Also my gg-grand dad and ggg-grand dad has a monument in Tenn.-where they supposely made a big monument for the Hunter's. I will find more out about this. Thanks Joyce in Michigan
