I am looking for information on Robert Boston Hunter. The town of Huntersville,NC was named after his family. It was named Craighead before 1873, but named Huntersville in 1873.There was alot of his family around in Long Creek Township, that influenced that area that they renamed Craighead to Huntersville. My family lived around there in 1700s and 1800s and still some do. My family tradition has it that Huntersville were named after the Hunters I am related to. I know our family lived in Anson,Mecklenburg,Cabarrus,Richmond and probably Rowan Co.,NC. and Huntersville is just north of Charlotte, and has cemetery or two that some of the 5 Hunter brothers that originally settled Mecklenburg are buried. My grandfather lived there with his family the Harry Avery Hunter, who left in 1870-71 to Pope Co.,AR then to TX after 1901 except parts my family. In the 1870 census index there are a Robert B. Hunter(age 52), A. Jones Hunter(age 25) and Harry Hunter age 55(to not same Harry A.) in Long Creek Township. I am trying to find if he is related to Harry A. Hunter's Parents who lived in Anson Co., the PeeDee area (William) Ephraim Hunter b. 1777-d. 1843, and Sarah E. Crocker b. Va. 1779- d. aft 1870in Anson/Stanly Co. at her dau and husband in that area named Anne P. and Edmond Ingram(Ingrams had large farm holdings in that area). There was also a William Hunter who had over a 1,000 acres in the PeeDee River area by 1773 and active in Anson/Richmond Cos.
