About Us

This is a site to share research and questions about the ancestry of Thomas Hunt Sr. born ca 1787 in North Carolina and died ca 1856 in Rusk County, Texas. Thomas lived in Rutherford County, North Carolina, Blount County, Tennessee, and Rusk County, Texas. Among other questions, we are investigating ancestors of Thomas, when and which ancestor (if not Thomas) changed his name from McFarland to Hunt, and relationship to other Hunt families in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Main areas of concentration at this time (2015/01/13) are Rutherford  and Orange counties of North Carolina.
