Note: 1860 Mortality Census of Clayton County, Georgia
Month Name Age-Sex Married Born Died Cause of Death
Hunt, N. C. 26 F X Ga. June Fever
Part of the U.S. Federal Censuses from 1850-1880 included a mortality schedule enumerating the individuals who had died in the previous year. Because each of the censuses from 1850-1880 began on June 1, "previous year" refers to the 12 months preceding June 1, or June 1 (of the previous year) to May 31 (of the census year).

Dear Valerie,
I have recently begun to research my Hunt family geneology. I came across
your information on the Joyner-Freeman Tree in Ancestry.com.
I am interested in the info you show for Miles N. Hunt and Martha Cates. Miles
N. Hunt is my great great grandfather and I have reason to believe that he
was married to Martha Cates and they had three children: M.E. Hunt(probably
Mary), E.O. Hunt(Edgar O. my ancestor), and S.W. Hunt(Samuel W.).
The US 1860 census for Clayton Co., GA p 74 lists an E.M. Hunt age 26 a teacher and
presumably his children M.E. Hunt age 5, E.O. Hunt age 3, and S.W. Hunt age
1 apparently living in the household of an E. Gray(could be Gwy) age 48
female. The listing for E.M Hunt should read Miles M. or Miles N. Hunt I
believe. The 1870 and 1880 census comfirm that these are my family because
the dates and names of the children match except the father's name is Miles
M. (or N.)Hunt. The mother is not in the household and is probably deceased.
The Mortality tables for the census of 1860 lists an N.C. Hunt age 26 female
from Clayton Co . GA having died of fever in June of 1860. This could well
be read as M.C. Hunt since M's and N's are sometimes hard to distingush in
the census rolls. Perhaps this is Martha Cates Hunt. I am very interested in
finding my great great grandmother and any information you have including
the source of the information on the marrage of Miles N. Hunt to Martha
Cates would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Larry Hunt

Dear Valerie,
I was able to visit the Mt. Zion Baptist Church Cemetery today and was able
to locate Miles Hunt's grave with out much difficulty. The headstone was
quite corroded so I had some trouble reading it. I cound read his birth
date (May 20, 1833) but could only read his death date as June 29 with the
year as undecipherable. Martha Cates grave was presumably right next to
Miles but all I could read on the stone was "Cates". The other letters did
not look like Martha but I can not be sure. I hope to go back soon with
some film and see if I can take a high contrast photo that will reveal
more. This is the first time I have known Miles birthdate etc so I
appreciate your info about where he is buried. I will record the data on
William A. Cates who is buried there since he is my gggrandfather.
Regards,
Larry Hunt
