Charles was born in 1796. He was the son of James Hunt and Mary Seaton He passed away in 1871 in retirement in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France (French death certificate on My Heritage)

He married Maria Bellendon Pfeilitzer at St James Westminster on January 1, 1824 (copy obtained from Find My Past) and further information may be found [Marriage Deed 533918]. Description to follow.

During his career as Resident Magistrate, he served in several counties in keeping with the profession including Tandragee (1835), Cork (1844), Tipperary (1844), Down (1849), Munster (1849), Monaghan (1852), Belfast and Ballymena (1857).

He was involved in a number of interesting and high profile cases such the navy crash between the Fairy and the Corsair in 1857 and in 1863 in a case where Doctor Courtenay was thought to have poisoned a patient, Amelia Carey on behalf of a third party.

He retired the following year (August 5, 1864) and as the paper notes, he was a fair man to all classes of people and rewarded with an excellent pension and retired with Maria to France, where he died.

The [children][1] of he and his wife, Maria Bellendon Pfeilitzer who are yet living are found at a Hunt deed sworn in Grieve, Ballybay Monaghan May 21, 1856 likely filed due to this being an emergency appointment and the recent loss Sergent George Frederick Hunt (December 23,1830 to March 23,1856 in Crimea)

Father's Paternal Line Y

Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing.

Lloyd (Hunt) de Vere Hunt, FTDNA kit #B231134 and his 6th cousin twice removed, Thomas Hunt, FTDNA kit #?????, match at a Genetic Distance of 3 of 37 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA John of Glangoole Hunt. FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 6 generations is 53.98% and within the last 7 generations is 63.58%.

Lloyd (Hunt) de Vere Hunt, FTDNA kit #B231134 and his 8th cousin, Living Hunt, son of Vere John Urquhart Hunt FTDNA kit #?????, match at a Genetic Distance of 3 of 37 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA Captain Vere Hunt. FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 8 generations is 57.04%

Y 37 Marker - J- M172 (predicted J-L70) match on file at FTDNA. Match may be viewed at the Hunt FTNA page under Group 69 and match tips probabilities exceed 50% at their generation level[9].

In terms of overall proof, documentary proof is solid showing full continuity of family and two have an autosomal match as well as other family autosomal matches which have only possible link with the male line of this family
