Hi Gina, I too know very little of my Hunt line. My ggg-grandfather was Hickman B. Hunt. He married Nancy "Nicey" Sutton in Rutherford County on September 21, 1837. His son, Joseph E. Hunt was my gg-grandfather (married 1st Allie Zuck; 1 child born Asa Staley Hunt; then married 2nd Cora Emma Fuqua - children were Saleta, J. Elliott and Lanny). Some how Nancy Ann Anderson (who married Alexander McClendon) is tied into this family. She was the "aunt" of either Joseph Hunt or his children. When Joseph's first wife died, my grandmother told me that Joseph & his son Asa lived with Aunt Nancy McClendon. I'm still trying to figure this puzzle out. I've heard the names Hustus Hunt and Mahala Hunt, but I don't have a clue if they tie in with my Hunt's or not. I'd sure like to find out who Hickman Hunt's parents were that would give some clues on siblings, etc. I need to check the census records of Rutherford & Davidson Counties. I live in Lexington, South Carolina and go to Nashville several times a year, but I've not had the time to do any research while I've been there. I usually come up on the weekends and visit my family. I'm planning a trip up there the week of Thanksgiving, and I hope to get some more research done then. I'll let you know what I find out. Please keep in touch and let me hear from you and how your research is going. If I come across your names, I'll save the info. and let you know. Take care & God Bless, Deborah Hunt Maddox Lexington, SC On Sat, 22 Sep 2001 20:43:37 EDT GW7909@aol.com writes: > Hi Deborah, > > I know very little of my Hunt line.
