When looking for Quinn's be sure and check out surname Queen. The two were interchanged a lot.

I'm looking for information on the Hunter Harvel, Kirk and Quinn families. Below is the information that I have (although I didn't pull my files and am doing this from memory, so I might be off a bit). > > William Wright Hunter (born circa 1849) married Sophronia Smithwick in Wilson County. Sophronia died at a young age. Children Lillard, Walter, Humphrey Leona. (Have picture of family without Sophronia.) > > William Wright (WW) Hunter married next Celina Ellen Kirk circa 1890. They had the following children: Curtis, Davira, May Clark, Willie May, Ruth. They moved to Texas circa 1900. (Have picture of family.) > > William Wright Hunter was the son of Edward Nicholas (E.N. or Ned) Hunter and Rachel Harvel. He had one sister. > > Estimate Edward Nicholas Hunter born circa 1820. And according to the 1850 census, he was born in Tennessee. Who were his parents? I have seen a William Hunter in an index for Wilson County 1850 (I have not seen the census itself.) Could this be Edward Nicholas' father? Would anyone have access to the 1850 census and be willing to do a lookup for me? > > Edward Nicholas Hunter and his wife and baby son William lived in Kentucky when the 1850 census was taken. They lived in Lebanon, Wilson County before and after and the family's roots go deep into Wilson County, we believe. We know nothing of the Harvel family, but are interested in them. They were born in Tennessee also. > > Selina Ellen Kirk was born circa 1870 in Tennessee. We do not know who her father or mother were. We have heard that her mother's maiden name was Quinn. Any info appreciated. > > And one last question. What is the Hunter's point that is referred to in Wilson County? Is it named such because of the Hunter family or is a really good place to go hunting? > > Thanks for all of your help! > > Leanne > > > > ==== TNWILSON Mailing List ==== > The Wilson County Genealogy Depot > http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnwcogs/ > <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnwcogs">The Wilson Co.
