Looking for parents of James HUNTER (see first name below). I believe he was born in PA, but later moved to Loudoun Co., VA., then, on or before March of 1806, he moved to Gallatin Co., KY, finally he move in December 1828 to Illiopolis, Sangamon Co., IL. Descendants from James, several Hunter families adopted naming practices and patterns, which leads me to believe his father’s name is either William or James, but only a guess. Several Hunter clan researchers show, as I have, that James was born in Loudoun County, VA., This came from a single source, Powers, John Carrol, Early Settlers of Sangamon County, 1876 (IL). This was published about 9 years after James’ death. In the last two U.S. Census, Sangamon Co., IL., 1850/60, before his death in 1867, show he was born in PA. Also, the U.S. International Marriage records, 1560-1900, show he was born in PA. Therefore, there is corroborating evidence that he was born in PA and NOT Loudoun Co., VA. My ancestors are: James Hunter; John T. Hunter; Archer Scott Hunter; Otis Lucas Hunter; Otis Robert Hunter. The last two are not on the below list. I have many more descendants to James Hunter that are not on this list.
