HUNT

If BENJAMIN HUNT born April 30, 1805 in Washington Co., TN died in DeKalb Co., TN then how come I can not find any information on his family. He married MARGARET WALKER May 29, 1827 in Washington Co., TN. Nine children were born to them and they say two more girls were born in DeKalb Co in the 1850's. I am looking for proof that Benjamin and Margaret were in DeKalb Co.

SHRYER

A transcription from a microfilm of a gravestone in Smithville Cem., DeKalb Co. reads, in part, "Mary G., Daughter of Marguis(sic) & Mary Shryer," with Mary's birth and death year noted as 1853. We suspect the father ("Marquis?") might have migrated from Trigg & Christian Counties, KY. We'd very much like to correspond with anyone who knows about these folks, especially anyone who might double-check the gravestone inscription. We'd be happy to share our own discoveries. Thank you.
