To All, Can anyone out there help me with this man. On a his son, Francis O. Hunter, census listing for 1880 it is stated that his father was born in LA. Francis himself was born in Cecil Co., MD. The 1880 census says that his mother, Amelia (Owens) Hunter was born in MD. No dates are known about John and Amelia just that they were married on Oct. 30, 1841 in Elkton, MD. There is a good chance that they are buried in Hopewell Cemetery, Cecil Co., MD There is a family legend that John was a doctor and captured by the Indians. He had TB and the Indians tried to cure him by digging a hole and covering him up all but his head with dirt. They built a fire on top of him. The doctor is supposed to have written a book of Indian remedies. He was adopted by the tribe. His wife , an Indian girl, remarried a Mr. Jackson and they had seven girls. Amelia had one son, Francis Hunter, and then remarried a Phillip Jackson in 1848 in Cecil Co., MD. Everything seems to fit so far except to find out if John Hunter was a doctor and if Amelia is American Indian. If anyone could shed some light on this John for me that would be very helpful. Thank you, EM
