The Descendants of George Washington Hunter ~ 1815-1880 

Hunter Family Network

According to the 1900 U.S. Census, Nathan Hunter was living in Sexton Creek, Clay County, Kentucky.  He was a farmer who was unable to read or write, as was common in those parts.  The 1920 U.S. Census tells us that sometime after his wife Nancy's death in 1915, he moved in with the family of his son, George Washington Hunter.


Sometime between the 1920 census and his death in 1924, Nathan moved to Metamora, Franklin County, Indiana.  He is buried in Metamora Cemetery along with two of his sons (George and John) and other Hunter family members.
