General Notes: Husband - William Hunter


William Hunter settled north of the McGowen farm at an early date. He died, and was buried on the place. His wife lived to be over one hundred years of age. Two of their daughters, Peggy and Jennie, married McCulloughs (Matthew and John), and the father willed the property to them. [HBC 1883, 329]

About 1803, he moved with his family from Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, to Butler County. He purchased 400 acres of land on and near the site of Prospect, in Franklin township, fifty acres of which he gave to his son-in-law, Matthew McCollough. On a part of this the present borough of Prospect now stands.
