If you have someone else you need information on let me know and I will see if they are in this book. Hope I can save you some money.Wanda
After the civil war, John E. Hunt married Sarah Elizabeth Rowe and settled on a plantation on the opposite side of the Black river, the house set back from the road, and a long lane led to the house. On each side of the lane were tall pine
trees. On one side of the lane was the turpentine forest, the other side of the lane cotton and corn was grown, and nearby was a swamp.
John's slaves liked him so much that after they were free, they stayed and worked for him. And some stayed on after his death and worked for his son John Enos Hunt.
When John died, he left his plantation to his son John Enos Hunt and his daughter, Katherine Hunt Owens.
