There is also a ROREX family in Cocke County, Tennessee. They were neighbors of my ancestor, James SWAGERTY, Jr. 1860 Census, Cocke County, Tennessee John ROREX 50 Farmer $30,000 $30,000 Tennessee Caroline 38 " Samuel 17 " Martin 12 " If you think this family may be your line, I will send along references as I come across them. --------------- I joined the Blount County list to look for parentage or family connection to my twin ancestors, David M. and Ambrose R. HUNTER b. 1800. (1) They were business partners in Blount and Monroe Counties. Tennessee, with Alexander, John, and Matthew McGHEE in 1820-22. (2) They moved to Lawrence County, Alabama, in the summer of 1822. (3) By 1840, David M. HUNTER family was living in Monroe County, Mississippi, as was Ambrose R. HUNTER family. Ambrose died in 1852. (4) David M. HUNTER family moved to Knox County, Tennessee, about 1848. (5) On the 1850 Knox County census, David M. HUNTER family was listed in June there, then David M. HUNTER and family moved to Abingdon, Virginia, during the summer, and were listed on the 1850 Washington County, Virginia, census in October. Possible parents of David and Ambrose: (1) James HUNTER and Jane McCORD m. 1794 in Washington County, Tennessee. (2) James HUNTER and Isabella RICHEY m. 1797 in Jefferson County, Tennessee. Haven't made a connection to Blount County HUNTERs. If anyone has information on these families that might make a connection, I would appreciate your help.
