Here is an even better question for my fellow William Hunter descendants: I have seen transcriptions of a William Hunter will on the internet. Has anyone seen this, and has anyone obtained a source for it? I have not seen it in the Will Book or Court records at Franklin County in the many times I have been there. However - I could have overlooked it. Andy Doss

I believe Franklin Co.wasn't establisher until 1786. If the will perdates you may want to look in the predecessor counties. The story I spoke of about William Hunter being associated with Ben Franklin came from page 96 of "Franklin- The Essential Founding Father" by James Strodes, ISBN 0-89526-163-4. It indicates that about 1861 William Hunter of Williamsburg was Ben's fellow deputy postmaster general. It says an aling William would ultamatly leave most of his business to Ben. Is this the William Hunter (b.1738) that was married to Charity Loftus and the father of Jane (b. 1758) who married William Turner in 1773? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doss, Andy" <ADoss@stanleyfurniture.com> To: <vafrankl@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 10:12 AM Subject: Re: [VAFRANKL] William Hunter will > Here is an even better question for my fellow William Hunter > descendants: > > I have seen transcriptions of a William Hunter will on the internet.
