From " A History of the State" Battie, Perrisn & Kniffen 2nd ED. 1885, Butler County
DR. ALEXANDER HUNT, a son of John and Anna (Jenkins) Hunt, passed his early life on a farm, attending school for a short time each year, until he attained his eighteenth year, when he constructed a flat-boat, on which he floated a cargo of staves to New Orleans; finding the trade lucrative he continued it for four years, after which he tried farming for a few years; then read medicine and took his degree in the Louisville Medical College in 1878, since which time he has followed the practice of his profession, in connection with the business of superintending his farming interests. He gives much of his time to the improvement of the country. He is an advocate of the temperance cause, and is interested in all educational enterprises. Politically he is a Republican; is liberal in his views, and does not know men by their politics. His wife, Catherine J. Clark, whom he married April 8, 1849, is a daughter of David and Martha Clark of Hickman County, Ky. Their marriage has been blessed with twelve children, eight of whom are living: Martha A., Henry D., William C., Jonathan A., Elias M., Alexander, David and Katie H.; those deceased are John T., Letitia J., Ota and an infant unnamed.

It appears that he had a wife earlier who died in 1848. Remarried in 1849 as shown above.
