OTHER

Uriah Hunt Notes:
There are 3 generations in a row of Uriah Hunt, that all married Kincheloe women.
Uriah(1757), one of the Hunt 14, died 1824 in Tennessee, married Sarah Kincheloe (1763-1834)
Uriah(1787), son of Uriah(1757), died 1871 in Alabama, married Mary Kincheloe (1809-1890), married about 1827
Uriah(1811), son of Uriah(1787), died 1882 in Tennessee, married Mary Kincheloe (1809-1884), married in 1832
It appears the above Kincheloe women are related, each being neice to the one above.

Unsourced parents of Kincheloe women and related:
Sarah Kincheloe(1763-1834), daughter of John Kincheloe Jr(1728–1809) and Mary Polly Wickliffe(1725–1794)
George Kincheloe(1761-1843), son of John Kincheloe Jr(1728–1809) and Mary Polly Wickliffe(1725–1794)
Mary Kincheloe(1809-1890), daughter of George Kincheloe(1761-1843) and Sarah Buckner(1761–1811)
John Kincheloe(1789–1853), son of George Kincheloe(1761–1843) and Sarah Buckner(1761–1811)
Mary Kincheloe(1809-1884), daughter of John Kincheloe(1789–1853) and Sarah Keebler(1786–1867)

Note:
If all these Kincheloe parents are correct, then Uriah(1787) married 1st cousin, and Uriah(1811) married 1st cousin.
Technically 1st cousins, but bloodlines are closer since all generations are related on both sides.
