Mary Denton

Buried: Huntsville Cemetery, Randolph Co., IN

Married: 1788 John Tipton Hunt in Washington Co., TN

Census:
1790 - not found on census, the family was living in Washington Co. Tennessee and Mary was 20 and had two children age 1 and a newborn.

1800 - two John Hunts were living in Fleming Co., KY paying taxes.  Mary would have been 30 and had seven sons ranging in age from 1 to 11.

1810 Kentucky - Fleming Co. age 40 Mary was living with John in a household of 17 people.   There were seven children under age 10, three boys between 10 and 15, three boys between 16 and 25 and three men older than 45.  It is easier to eliminate who is not living in the house than it is to determine exactly who is there.  John's father is dead so he is not one of the men over 45.  One of the men may be Mary's father James who would have been a widower.

1830 - not found on census, the family was living in Fleming Co., KY
