Other Events:

• Occupation: 3 Apr 1716 - 10 Nov 1752, Hanover Co., Virginia; Clerk & Reader, Saint Paul Parish

Notes:

"In "Hunts of Tennessee", Mrs Evelyn Mitchell Madry of Atlanta, Ga. states Ralph Hunt was b. 1699 and died 1769--a discrepancy from the dates quoted--from Bill & Clara and from IGI. He bought 140 A. in Hanover Co.,Va. in 1723 & 132 A. on North side of Fishing Creek (Hanover Co.) on 6 Oct 1746 from Seth Pettypoole of Lunenburg Co. Memucan Hunt Howard, a great grand-son, gives the dates of birth and death and the family of his grandfather, Memucan, whom he states is the "third son". Fleetwood Jones states "Ralph and his brother James lived in Hanover Co. until James left for what is the present day Charlotte. Brother Joseph and James' son Charles lived in King William Co. prior to moving near James. Ralph who had purchased land the same day as James never left Hanover. Ralph's date of death comes from Mormon record # F502677. Sources state Ralph & Dina had ten children. I have more here, but none of Ralph's children are actually documented and more work is needed on this family. Bill Hunt, of Fairport, doubts that Christopher is a son, and Clara Hunt Miller doubts that William with wife, Rosa, is a son; however, all agree that he had a son William. Ralph also had land in Henrico Co. See Catherine Gheesling's records for more on this man. Records on proposed children of this man should be checked very carefully, as it is almost impossible to document them."

Ralph married Dina Anderson Abt 1720, Pennsylvania. Dina was born 1697 - 1699, Pennsylvania?; died 1769. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Dates come from "A Record of the Howard & Hunt Families" by B. A. Howard. Also, some dates from IGI, 1992, Va.

John — Sarah Axlette. Sarah was born 16 Oct 1620, England. [Group Sheet]

Said to have married 2nd: Elinor Mayhew, daughter of Richard and Isabel Mayhew. Children in this family are NOT DOCUMENTED. USE THIS RECORD AS A GUIDE ONLY. Children given here are proposed by several genealogists. All do not agree. Some are: Fleetwood Jones, William M. Hunt (Fairport, N.Y.), Clara Hunt Miller, Cathering Gheesling (who gives only three: Nathaniel (who married a Wade), Memucan and Sarah. These persons have taken records from county records as well as I.G.I. and from sources such as named in Mrs. Gheesling's records.
