I'm going on 15 year old memory. Col Jonathan Hunt had 20 kids by 3 wives. He was the military leader of the Boone-Bryan settlement on the Yadkin from 1755 to Jan,1776. His siblings were bro vs bro. His 1775 NC militia co was Col Jonathan Hunt,and Capt's George Hunt [son] and Joseph Bryan [Loyalist in 1776] [Yount said something like-"Capt Joseph Bryan wasn't Tory. He was a member of the Royal Americans!'] Anyway Col Hunt had a daughter marry,in 1776,a Loyalist Bryan shot crossing a creek She married 2nd, Whig Rev John Gano,Sr,of Forks of the Elkhorn Baptist after NY city Baptist and war chaplian. He Baptized George Washington during mid-war. Col Jonathan Hunt had 2 sons at Bryan's Station ,in 1777,when it was still Loyalist. Surveyor John Floyd ,in 1776,wrote back to his boss,Col Wm Preston,near Blacksburg,Va that "he,Floyd" had found a fort of Tories on Preston's Ky survey. They have 60-80 acres of corn planted, and say they will buy your land,if you will set a price". But Indians drove them away. A Bryan widow traded a warrent fot 1000 acres of Ky bluegrass for a horse to ride back to NC. Levi Hunt and Charles Hunt settled here at Bethel Ohio about 1800.Charles moved on in 1807 to Richmond,Indiana territory. Gunsmith's,like the Bryan's and Boones. Not quality rifled barrell,but welded barrells hammered around a rod.
