Dempsey Hunter was a brother of Reuben, Cader and Needham Hunter. These fellows were among 16 or so siblings, children of Reuben Hunter and Sarah Speight. The 16 children were all born in Wake County, NC between 1761 and 1786. Reuben, jr., Cader and Needham (at least these 3) all came to Sumner County before about 1810. Cader Hunter was my ggggg grandfather. Does anyone have any information on these descendants of Reuben Hunter, sr., after their arrival in Sumner County? Burial places, other counties where they lived, etc.? rdcarter@televar.com wrote: > My g-g grandfather was Reuben Wills Hunter, b.8/3/1800 in TN. His father was Dempsey, born in NC. My g-grandfather was Andrew Jackson Hunter, b. 6/19/1846 in Sumner Co., TN. Reuben Wills married Lucinda Goffe. He may have been the same Reuben Hunter who was witness at the marriages of several Brigances in Sumner Co. His children, besides A. J., were William Davis, Martha Jane, James Alexander, Robert Hatten, Zachariah Tally, George Washington, and Lucy Ann Virginia. I don't know of any son or grandson named Reuben, but I suspect that he may have had brothers close by and your Reuben could have been a nephew. Sorry that I don't have any positive info. Much of the info I have came from the "History of the Polk Co.(Missouri) Baptist Association." This was a family record for my ancestors so there isn't anything on anyone else except the wives and children.
