Seeking Descendants of Hezekiah Hunter
Seeking Descendants of Hezekiah Hunter
Hezekiah Hunter was one of the siblings of my great-great-grandmother Louisa Ellenor Hunter.It is my hope by finding the descendants of these siblings I will be able to glean some information about this elusive Hunter family; Louisa, Hezekiah, Margaret, George, William H., Amanda, Hannah, and their parents William and Hannah Hunter.
There appears to be a strong Bumgardner or Baumgardner family connection with this Hunter family.Both families together migrated through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and settling for a time in Butler and Carter county Missouri with most of the Hunter family remaining there.
Two of the brothers William and Hezekiah Hunter married Bumgardner or Baumgardner women.William H. Hunter married Sarah Adeline Bumgardner, daughter of John and Rhoda Bumgardner, and Hezekiah Hunter married Caroline Baumgardner, daughter of Anthony and Elizabeth Davis Baumgardner.Although these Bumgardner or Baumgardner families are not connected to me through blood relation it would also be nice to be able to connect Anthony to John Bumgardner.Please let me list below a little of what I know about this family, and if you can connect any information listed below to your own family information please do not hesitate to contact me directly.Thank You for your time.
Sincerely,
Berna David Hunter
