heart@socket.net told me 15 years ago about Charles Hunt, 1802 at-near Locust Ridge Nursing home. I'm thinking he had ties to the Lambert's. And he had,1800,a bro,Levi Hunt s e of Bethel. Col Jonathan Hunt's younger sons,by his 3rd wife. Raised in the Eaton Baptist church of the Boone's and BRYAN'S,on the Yadkin,in NC, and brought up on tales of earliest Ky. Brother vs brother area in the Rev War, and Charles had,at least, one brother-in-law killed as a Loyalist. The bunch seem crude gunsmith's. Welded,not rifled barrel's. One of his nephew,Thomas Hunt's guns survivies within 3 miles. Anyway, Charles Hunt's sons married into the Shotwell's,and Colthar's. The bunch had NJ ties. And they moved on quicker than anybody else. To the Elkhorn,s Richmond, Indiana territory,on the Greenville Treaty line. Better hunting, or more Indian customers for their guns,or better lands. Something drove them quickly on. I know Daniel Teegarden,on the Pinkham farm west of Bantam,and a Doughty son-in-law went near Brookville,Franklin Co,I n terrirory, right on the Greenville line,in 1811, and Doughty did not survive a 1st winter's hunt. Any of you with a prayer to spare, heart@socket.net 's in a Mo hospital awaiting a heart transplant. He's expert on early Ky. HUNT-BREDWELL-COLLINS-DEEN-WILLIS his Bethel names. And my snail-mail pen pal of 15-20 years. Taught me much of what I've shared with you. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
