General Notes: Husband - Alexander Hunter

---

They left their native county for America June 16, 1788, and arrived at Philadelphia August 22 following. They remained there till August, 1790, and then removed to Cumberland County, PA, and in November, 1793, to Fayette County. Here they lived till April, 1812, when they came to Mercer County and settled on a tract of 400 acres of land in West Salem Township. He was a pioneer surveyor of Mercer County, and a man of fine education and extensive knowledge. He was the principal surveyor of that locality from 1812 up to his death, and devoted nearly his entire attention to that profession. He and his wife were life-long members of the Covenanter Church, and he was an elder in the Greenville congregation many years. Politically he was a Whig. [HMC 1888, 1181]
