General Notes: Husband - John Hunter

---

Four of the sons of John Hunter, John, William, Alexander and David, crossed the mountains on horseback to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, settling in Mt. Pleasant township.
He bought a farm of two hundred acres, most of it virgin forest, but he carried forward the work of reclamation until he had it all under cultivation. There he resided, a prosperous farmer, until his death.
He was active in the Presbyterian church, for over a quarter of a century an elder of the Middle Presbyterian Church of Mt. Pleasant.

The source does not make clear which of his twelve children were the offspring of which of his wives.
