Notes on profile on FindAGrave.org from William M.

Vernon Baptist Church in Eastern Simpson Co., KY. Their graves are unmarked."

Research Notes

This appears to be two different families mis-attributions. The family of Dr. Thomas Hunt of Bedford County, Virginia who married and Ann (presumably Henson) has been incorrectly connected to the Family of Thomas Elwwod Hunt of Westchester, NY. The DNA of Thomas Elwood's descendants do not match the Dr. Thomas Hunt of Virginia Genetically.

The name Elwood has not been associated with Dr. Thomas hunt of Bedford County Virginia, nor has the last name of his wife Anne been associated with the name Mattingly. If there is documentary evidence of this name for Ann it would smash down a brick wall which has eluded researchers for centuries! Please post if there is anything.

Please see the Origins of the "Hunt 14", the children of Dr. Thomas Hunt of Bedford County, Virginia.
