    Subject: RE: Nancy Hunter born abt.1770

    David,
    Thanks for your reply. I am still pondering this Hunter Family Line. Havefound from other family members, particularly the Lunceford family;WilliamLunceford married Rosie Robertson 4 January 1821 in St. Clair, Illinois, whoseemingly have done more research than I have. There records indicatethat the 3 children mentioned by Jasper as being his fathers step-syblings,were instead his children by his wife Sarah Crocker.The daughter's name wasMelissa Jane, not Emma Jane, and she died, in infancy, the two boysGeorge and Riley lived. Not sure if they died in teens or later, or what.George's birth is calculated at 1824, Melissa Jane ca 1827, and Riley ca at1831. Sarah possibly died after Riley was born or shortly before 1833,when Nichols married Jane Hunter. All these three children were born inSt. Clair, Illinois. I think that this information is most likely morecorrect, than these three children being Nichols step-syblings. With thisinformation and the further study of James Hunter being the Regulator, andwith information from another relative, Cheryl Doty, whose roots stem fromMariam Hunter who married Alexander Strain, I am leaning toward the informationfrom Jasper regarding Nancy and Nellie being James Hunter's sisters as notcorrect. But, it is possible that they could have been cousins, andJasper's memory confused at the time he filled out this questionnaire. Inreading the History of the Regulators, and seeing names who were part of thatmovement familiar to names in Jane Hunters family, such as Phipps, I aminclined to feel that James Hunter who married Mary Walker is the James Hunterwho was the Regulator. I hope you keep up your search on this line, andwill let me know what you find, and what you think about thisinformation. I still think that Nancy and Nellie fit in somewhere in thisJames Hunter Line, but just don't know where! Sincerely yours, Sonja
