1781 |

Notes |
- "Some researchers believe his name was Christopher HUNT and his wife was Caty Blassingame of VA and Granville CO. NC. Have no proof, but Bill Hunt of Fairport, N.Y. and Clara Hunt Miller of Ca. believe Christopher to be a s/o Ralph III and brother to Memucan.
Christopher transfered 100 acres of land in Anson Co., N. Carolina "granted to me 24 Apr. 1762" and was in Cheraw Dist., Craven Co., S. Carolina when he sold this on 10 March 1763 to William S. Sherley.
See Mitchell Hunt's mss. on this individual in my file. Served in the Continental line, Rev. War record #3877-B. He died of smallpox, intestate.
His wife, Catey, was administratrix of his estate. Moved from Granville Co., N.C. to near Lynches' Creek, S.C. between 1774 and 1776, apparently. Lived "less than 18 miles from Camden".
On pg. 82 of Andrea I, Andrea is speaking of the will of Thomas Blassingame Hunt and states: "This family of Hunt in my extensive Hunt ms. came with Blassingames and others from old Cheraw and Georgetown Dist....He was a son of Christopher Hunt who wed Catey Blassingame...all came down from Virginia via N.C."
- Probate records of Cheraw District were, after South Carolina's "Districts" were abolished, housed in Darlington County, and were subsequently lost and/or destroyed (6 Oct 2017)

Notes |
- "Many reseachers believe Christopher and Caty to be the parents of John Hunt who married Martha Jenkins.
This is based on Christopher Hunt being in Virginia, Granville Co. NC and Anson Co. NC in close proximity to various Blassingham families. Later a James Blassingham family was closely situated to John Hunt and Martha Jenkins in Bracken Co. KY.
The best link is that James Hunt a possible brother of John Hunt states he was born in 1765 in Granville Co. NC and moved with his father to Hanging Rock Creek now on the border of Kershaw and Lancaster Counties SC shortly before the Revolution. He later moved to Sumner Co TN where his daughter Elizabeth married Richard Senter and moved to Wayne Co. IL, which was part of and now next to Edwards Co. IL, where John Hunt settled and died.
I believe Christopher is a possible parent but this is not proved due to lack of any direct evidence or surviving records."
