Hunter Family History, 1810 - 1965 [This is a digital copy of “The Green Hunter Book” that Lynette Fincher Myers gave me, Mitch Fincher, years ago. Victor Hunter did us all a great service by preserving our family history in print form. For his effort we are eternally grateful. Birth dates in modern times are concealed by having XX over the years. Comments are in square brackets. The book has the following handwritten inscription:] December 21, 1965 To Aunt Nannie On her 86th Birthday, with best wishes for a Happy Birthday and a Merry Christmas. Love, Victor Edward Hunter, Jr. ________________ Hunter Family History, 1810-1965 Let not Ambition mock their useful toil, Their homely joys, and destiny obscure; Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile, The short and simple annals of the Poor.

Researched and Compiled by Victor Edward Hunter, Jr., B.B.A., S.T.B. Hunter Family Historian Dallas, Texas Fall, 1965 ________________ Almighty Father, thou knowest who we are -- human beings with a good or a bad conscience, some content and others discontent, some secure and others insecure; convinced Christians and nominal Christians, believers, half-believers, and unbelievers. Thou also knowest whence we have come -- from the bonds of family and friendship or from great loneliness, from peaceful prosperity or from manifold adversities and troubles; from happy, from tense, or from broken homes; from the core of the Christian community or from its fringe. Here we are gathered now in thy presence: in all our diversity equally unrighteous before thee and before each other, equally dependent upon thy love and mercy; but also equally sharing the love and forgiveness offered to all mankind by the Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension of thy Son, Jesus Christ; and by the coming of the Holy Ghost. Send us, O God, as thy messengers, to hearts without a home, to lives without love, to the crowds without a guide. Send us to the children whom none have made happy, -- to the hungry whom none have fed, to the sick whom none have visited, to the fallen whom none have lifted, to the bereaved whom none have comforted. Kindle thy flame on the altars of our hearts, that others may be warmed thereby; cause thy light to shine in our souls, that others may see the way; keep our sympathies and insight ready, our wills keen, and our hands quick to help our brothers in their need. This we ask for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. Alsa M. 1. Alsa M. Hunter, whose father is believed to have been English and whose mother is believed to have been French, was born in Georgia (see Hunter, J. T., in 1880 Census, Randolph County, Alabama2 page 34721, lines 1-8) in about 1810 (see Alsa Hunter in 1840 Census, Chambers County, Alabama2 page 205). Alsa married Martha Stilwell. Their religious preference was Baptist. Martha Stilwell, a daughter of John Stilwell and Margaret Stilwell, was born in Georgia (see Hunter, J. T., in 1880 Census s Randolph County, Alabama., page 34712, lines 1-8) in about 1810 (see Alsa Hunter in 1840 Census, Chambers County, Alabama, page 205). According to the 1840 census, Alsa and Martha were living in Chambers County, Alabama, in 1840. Alsa was born between 1800 and 1810; and Martha was born between 1810 and 1820. Thus, they probably were both born in about 1810. Alsa's occupation was Farming. He owned seven slaves. Of the slaves, one was an adult male between the age of 10 and 24, one was an adult female between the age of 10 and 24, three were males under 10 years old, and two were females under 10 years old. In 1840, Alsa and Martha had three male children -- one between the age of 5 and 10, and two under 5 years old. In 1842, Alsa M.

Alsa must have died before 1860; and Martha and the children were living next door to Martha's parents, Also living with Martha in 1860, were Nancy Hunter, age 28, born in Georgia (about 1832) -- possibly Lucian's widow; and Mary Hunter, age 10, born in Alabama (about 1850) -- possibly Dockery's daughter. ________________ Alsa M. 2.

Mr. Forrester" (George Forrester, born November 13, 1818; Master Mason; died November 14, 1899; buried in church- yard) "there was well todo and a prosperous farmer and he had lots of land with so much big heavy timber on it and he persuaded papa to come back there and put up a saw mill and told him he would give him all the heavy timber he could saw up and sell. I am sure you can remember that big yard of lumber stacks down there at the mill don't you? and what a time we had playing all along there." While living in Forrester's Chapel, J. T., influenced by his friend, George Forrester, joined the Masonic Lodge and became a Master Mason. In December of 1883, eighteen years after the Civil War and their marriage, J.
