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.
