Wanda, Thank you very much for the information. Yes, this is my family. John Wesley Hunt's son, Levi Fletcher, was my ggrandfather. I am trying to establish a link between John Wesley & Thomas Addison Hunt. I am sure in my mind that they were brothers and that is the Thomas listed in John's household, but have not found any proof so far. Can you tell me how I might go about locating some document that would list the parents for John W. or Thomas A.? I did not know about Minnie Sloan (Thomas' daughter) that's great. Thank you so much! If you run across ANY information about this line, I would really be interested in what you find. Yes, it is really hot here (Little Rock) too. Has been around 100 for many days.
