At this point I'm very confused when trying to research my HUNT surnames because of the different counties I'm founding records. Could someone please do a look up for me for Benjamin HUNT and Zebulon HUNT? Benjamin HUNT b. abt 1795 Suffield, Hartford Co., CT s/o Benajah HUNT. I understand that during the era some soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War were able to acquire land for services render. Benjamin and his brother Zebulon LaBaron HUNT acquired land in Onslow Co., NC after the Rev. War; moving from CT onto Cumberland County then settled in New Hanover Co., NC which this land is now a part of Pender Co., NC. Benjamin/Benajah HUNT married Mar 06, 1833 Onslow Co., NC to Lousia SADBURY. The form is filed as SADBURY but the image looks more like SADSBURY. Benjamin is also spelt Benajah noted on a birth announcement file in CT; a land deed found dated 1836 in New Hanover Co., NC; and a mention of him on the Will for Thomas COSTON, dated 1814 filed on Onslow Co., NC. Is there a death record for Benjamin? Are there any land deed records or any other mentions in these areas? Benjamin HUNT died bet 1850-1860 because on the 1860 census Louisa is listed as "widow" with all their children in New Hanover Co., NC. Zebulon LaBaron HUNT b. Aug 04, 1796 Hartford Co., CT married Jun 17, 1819 Cumberland Co., NC to Sarah JAMES d/o William JAMES of Cumberland Co., NC. William JAMES is also noted as bondsman on the marriage record. Other sources verified: Zebulon LaBaron HUNT died Jan 14, 1867 and is buried Bethlehem Baptist Church Cemetery, Bladen Co., NC next to his 3rd wife Sarah PRIDGEN-HUNT and daughter in law Martha ADAMS-HUNT, d/o Ephram and Nancy ADAMS. Zebulon is noted on the marriage record as bondman for brother in law William B. JAMES and Edith BRYANT in Cumberland Co., NC There are two land deed mentions of Zebulon in New Hanover Co., NC that is now present day Pender Co., NC. His son Zebulon James HUNT was born in Cumberland Co., NC on Oct 20, 1826, served in the Civil War Company E, 18th Infantry Regiment New Hanover Co., NC but spent most his time as a POW in Elmira, NY then after being released came back to New Hanover Co., NC where he remained until his death Sep 22, 1897 in Pender Co., NC. I found one other HUNT in Onslow Co., NC that could be a relation named: Onesoforus HUNT on the 1810 census: 1-0-1-0-2-0-0-0-2-1-0-0 that research has been fruitless for me to trace because of the unusual spelling. Sincerely and thank you Catherine
