I am searching for information on John Hunt born 1814 in North Carolina. It
would appear he married (unknown person, place, and date), however there were
3 children born in Alabama: Thomas b. approx 1845, Sarah E. born approx.
1846, and Mary born approx 1848. Places unknown other than Alabama, Then
Charles born approx. 1850 in Ohio. In 1853, he is married to Elvira Shelton
who was born approx 1834 in Ohio, and they have two children - Unis born
approx. 1857 in Delaware County, Indiana and Eliza born 1859 in Delaware
County, Indiana. This information is in the 1860 Census, Delaware Township,
Delaware County, Indiana. By 1870, this family is gone. - Unknown place.
What I do know Eliza Hunt was married to John William Carpenter, and they had
two children -1. Henry Carpenter (my grandfather) was born July 7, 1878 at
Boaz, Richland County, Wisconsin. 2. William Chester Carpenter born approx
1882 Dowes, Iowa. John William died in a logging accident in Gary, Lake
County, Indiana in 1910. Do not know date or place of death for Eliza.
Henry Carpenter married Martha Belle Johnson 1905 Alexandria, Madison County,
Indiana. Martha Belle was born May 18, 1875 at Duganville, Mercer County,
Kentucky. They had two children: Eunice Marie who was born 12-15-1908 Gary,
Lake County, Indiana and John William Carpenter born 6-1-1912 Bowler,
Wisconsin, Almon Township, Shawano County. Eunice, my mother, started school
in Iowa, and graduated in New Castle, Henry County, Indiana. Henry died
August 10, 1920 New Castle, Indiana. Martha Belle died February 1959.
Eunice married James B. C. Martin and had two daughters - Frances Ann b.
private, and Martha Alice b. private.( me and my sister) and we have been
working on this genealogy. Would appreciate any information that anyone
might have to relate to any of this. Thanks so very much.
