Nathaniel Hunt

Notes:

B. A. Howard, in his Mss. "A Record of the Howard & Hunt Families", on Pg. 46. states: "My Grandfather Hunt (Memucan) had a brother, Nathaniel, who went into the army, was gone seven years, and his wife, supposing him to be dead, married again. He came back, and claimed his wife, but she preferred the second husband. He then went to Lincoln Co., Tn. and married again, and had children, some of whom moved to Shelby Co., Tn. and to DeSoto Co., Ms. This Nathaniel Hunt, when old and poor, hired a man to go on foot with him to his nearest relatives, in Granville Co., N.C. He was to give him his horse and equipage for so doing. The first relative's house he reached was my father's, where the footman took possession of the old man's horse, and returned to Tennessee. The old man finally took up at Col. Wm. Hunt's, as he had plenty of room and property, and there I saw him in 1825. His first wife was still living, a widow, and had considerable property. David Graves, a wild, reckless man, who married my mother's sister Nancy, persuaded the old man to call on his first wife and propose a second marriage, but she informed him that she had had enough of him when he was younger. He abandoned the matter, and soon afterward, died at Col. Hunt's.

Died:
Colonel William Hunt Estate

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]
