Ahnentafel #304 & #312 - John Hunt

John Hunt

Born: ca. 1693 probably Maryland, some people say Prince William Co., Virginia
Died: after 1743

Buried: Unknown

Married: Elizabeth Jane Tiption

Records:
1743, October - Prince William Co., VA - deed:
Mary Williams, late of Stafford County, Virginia was in Baltimore County by Oct. 1743 when she conveyed 200 acres in Prince William County, Hamilton Parish to John Hunt.  It was land she had inherited from her father John Toward.
This guy is in a lot of trees on Ancestry, but I'm not finding any records to support it . . . . it may be time to saw this branch from the tree and start looking around for another option.  This is the end of the road on this particular line anyway.

Children:
