General Notes: Husband - John Hunter

---

He and his wife were born, reared and married in Ireland, where he learned the weaver's trade. In 1800 they sailed to America, first locating on a farm adjoining Buffalo village, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He packed salt over the mountains, then drove a team, and afterward took a contract to build a mile of the old National pike. He then bought a farm in Buffalo township, successfully following agricultural pursuits until becoming advanced in years, when he resumed his trade. He and his wife moved to Belmont County, Ohio, and passed their declining years with their son Robert. They were members of the North Buffalo United Presbyterian Church. [CBRWC, 1166]

The Hunter family came originally from Ireland, where he and his wife were born, reared and married. In 1800 they came to America and after reaching Washington County, Pennsylvania, settled on a farm near Buffalo village.
