HUNTER, DAYTON, SHANNON, PARKER, GILTZ, WILLIAMS, PIERCE, BACON, BLEVINS Searching for parents and siblings of Thomas Hunter b 1824 in NY and died 1893 in Plessis, Jefferson Co, NY. Married in about 1863 to Ann Dayton Shannon b. 1829 (parents Joel Dayton Jr. and Pervilla Parker) and lived on a farm outside of Plessis on "Hunter Road". Ann had previously married William E. Shannon and had children Derinda M. (married Albert Giltz) and Gilbert (married Nettie/Jeanette Williams and then Jennie Pierce). Thomas and Ann had children Minnie E. Hunter b. 1864 (married James Henry Bacon) and Alvaro Hunter b. 1865 (married Ida May Blevins). All are buried in the Plessis Brookside Cemetery. I have LOTS of information on all of Thomas and Ann's children's famiies and Ann and William's children's families and would be happy to share with others. One census states that Thomas' parents were born in PA. Thomas had a brother John living with him. Land records found in Watertown show him buying land in about 1864 but I have searched census reports in Jeff Co and can't find him anywhere before that date. Death certificate, his will and land records give no parent/sibling information. Any suggestions, connections, hints or information would be greatly appreciated to any of the surnames above. I've visited Flower Memorial Library and the County Courthouse in Watertown and the Watertown Daily Times Archives room and many internet sites. I've been working at this brick wall for 35 years!
