- The history so far...
- We beleive Abel's father may have been Noah, son of Abel Hunt of Barren Co., KY. Noah could have settled in Saline Co., IL. around 1830, where we find Abel and his family in the 1850 census. Noah died in 1833 and was buried in the Bethel Creek Primitive Baptist Cemetery where Abel, his wife Nancy Parker, and some of his children were also buried here. There is much information already prepared and documented on the lineage of Abel 1 of Barren, son of Dr. Daniel Hunt.
- Most of the Hunt family history, from
Abel, born 1812, on, is fairly complete. Opel Miller Hunt, the wife of
Isaac Sylvester Hunt, kept a record in the family bible. Isaac was the
son of George Riley Hunt, son of Abel 2, and was born in Ness County, Kansas
in 1882, where George finally settled with his family.
George, born in Saline County, Illinois in 1846 married Amelia Missouri Odle and settled in Eden Lake, Stearns County, Minnesota in 1867. In 1880 he and his family traveled by covered wagon to Ness County, Kansas (and a milder climate) and established a homestead South East of Bazine. There they built a home from hand-sculptured limestone that was quarried nearby. Although deserted and in disrepair, the house still stands today.
