Individual Details
Wilson S. HUNT
(16 Jan 1754 - 28 Jan 1833)
Wilson Hunt is shown by YOUNT and others to have had 12 children. Eleven are identified in a family Bible with dates of birfth and the other, a son Joseph, appears to have followed Enoch by the second wife. At the moment little is known of the children except what is shown in this document.
Married Margaret Shotwell (third wife). Rev. War Pension Record: No. 15352; W. #4242; B.L.Wt. # 34968-160-55. States he enlisted from Rowan Co., N.C. " Margaret personally appeared and made deposition in 1855, stating she was age 80 years and they were married 24 Nov. 1793 in the county of Fayette and state of Kentucky. Her name was Margaret Shotwell. There is no record of their marriage as the courthouse burned. She is now residing in the county of Owen, Ky." His first name may have been James, as Samuel named son, James, and, on Wilson's will, it appears to be J. Wilson Hunt.
Wilson Hunt had three wives and there are contrdictory versions of their names and order. A compilation by Joyce Banaszak gives the name of a first wife as Agnes Burnet, second unknown, and third Margaret Shotwell. On the other hand, a compilation of a descendant Wilson Shotwell Hunt, III, of Kalamazoo, MI (in 1944) gives the name of the first wife as _____Bryan (which seems reasonable as he lived next to Bryan in Rowan County) who was mother of his first child Enoch, b in 1785, the name of the second wife as _____Burns, dau. of Jacob Burns (which may be the Burnet mentioned by Banaszak) who was he mother of his 2nd child Samuel born in 1792, and the third wife was Margaret Shjotgwell b. 20 Oct 1776 (22 years younger than her husband), dau. of Jasper Shotwell (b. Woodbridge, NJ, 1750/7, died 1816) and Clara or Clarissa Line (1755-1816). Wilson was a Rev. War veteran who on 15 Dec1832 at age 79 years applied for a pension while living in Fayette Co.,KY.
