Dear Listers, I am struggling to find some dates on a this particular Hunt family which lived in Richland and Sauk Cos., WI, and my last hope appears to be the discovery of newspaper notices: Here follows a "time table" of the family in question: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HUNT, George born Nov. 15, 1823 Gilberdyke, Yorkshire emigrated 1850 died Mar. 5, 1911 Ironton, Sauk Co., WI married 1st time about 1855(?) NN, Bridget born .............. 1831 .......... Ireland died ...............1862? Sun Prairie, WI married 2nd time July 2, 1875 Madison, WI LUDWIGSON, Anna Marie "Mary" born July 27, 1831 Elvetun, Hafslo, Norway emigrated 1856 died ........... 1872/1874? Westford, Richland married 3rd time Aug, 15, 1875 Richland Co., WI WESTCOTT, Harriett J. (par.: Stephen and Pauly Westcott) born ............. 1831 Oneida Co., NY died .............. 189? ............ Richland/Sauk/Barron Co., WI married 4th time Nov. 21, 1903 Sauk Co., WI BRIGGS, Harriet Louisa nee Parsons (1st husband Daniel Briggs (1819-1903) was a farmer at Ironton or LaValle, Sauk Co., WI) born Sep. 23, 1827 Cayuga Co., NY died May 15, 1912 ............... Sauk Co., WI(?) or Boone Co., IL(?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ George Hunt apparently farmed with his 1st wife at Sun Prairie, Dane Co., WI, then from 1866 in Westford township, Richland Co., WI until the early 1890's. Then, after a short period in Barron Co., WI he returned to Ironton, Sauk Co., WI. I imagine probate proceedings may have to be made before George married again, and it is my hope these proceedings may have been announced in a local newspaper? There may also be obituaries available for George and/or one or more of his wives? Any findings of information about this family will be very much appreciated! Thanks a million! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane

Dear Deanna and other Listers! Thank you very much, Deanna, for sending me the report on George Hunt from find-a-grave. This report appears complete, in particular as far as the three surviving children of his first marriage to the Irish Bridget; however, it offers rather limited information on George Hunt's 2nd (Norwegian) wife and their children, and his last two marriages to the two Harriets have been "smelted" into one! Now it is my hope that additional newspaper notices can provide additional details about these various marriages and wives of George Hunt. Thanks again for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Mar 29, 2015, at 3:39 PM, Deanna Haney via wrote: > Under Find a Grave: > George Sr., a farmer, was born in England Nov. 15, 1823.

Dear Mark and other Listers! After the great success in finding so much information about Civil War soldier Christen Ludwigson, I am hoping for some similar success finding newspaper notices on Christen's sister Anna Marie "Mary" Ludwigson HUNT, George Hunt's 2nd wife. Or is this a "hopeless" topic? I hope not and keep my fingers well crossed for some success! Happy Easter everyone! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.
