1801, Part II, Ralph Hunt

1802 Part I, Abraham Hunt, Robert Hunt
no evidence that the Hunts are related to us
John Beasley is probably related, but I don't know how

John Beasley - 1803-1804, 1818-1820, 1822-1826, 1827 Jr. & Sr., 1818 just one, 1829 Jr. - too young to be Isham's sons born between 1810 and 1819.  He would be contemporary of Isham, perhaps a cousin.

James Dove - 1809-1814, 1816-1819
John Dove - 1809-1812, 1814-1816, 1818-1819, 1825, 1827-1829
David Dove - 1809-1810, 1812-1817, 1819-1820
Henry Dove - 1809-1829
Richard Dove - 1815-1816, 1818-1819
Mich. Dove - 1817

James, John, David and Henry are all old enough to be John Dove's father.  They may be brothers.  It's possible that Henry Dove is the father of the others. 

Elizabeth Rainwater - 1829
William Rainwater - 1812-1824
Bartholomew Rainwater - 1825, 1827-1829
Martha Rainwater - 1825, 1827 [Patsy], 1828

Stephen Hunt - 1823-1826, 1828-1829
Abraham Hunt - 1800-1804, 1806-1808, 1815
Abrahm Hunt - 1814, 1816-1817, probably same person as Abraham Hunt as they don't overlap years
R. Walter Hunt - 1817-1818
