8. MARY (POLLY) HUNT uncertain as to this child and if she even exists?
Jesse and Elizabeth lived on Buffalo Ridge and raised their family there. Jesse and Elizabeth lived a long life but where are they buried? I would love to hear from the descendants of Jesse Jr and Margaret Hale Hunt..this is one family I know nothing about. I know nothing about Elizabeth Hunt and Mary "Polly" Hunt ....According to the deeds it sounds like there may have been two Jesse Hunts, father and son who traveled from Maryland to Tennessee settling on the East Sinking Creek. The older Jesse settling along East Sinking Creek and the Jesse Jr settling on Buffalo Ridge. Is Brush Creek along the same line as East Sinking Creek and Austin Springs and the Watauga River where the Old Hunt land is located? Definitely my brickwall
