Enoch HUNT
(19 Jul 1768 - 22 Nov 1815)
From Enoch's WILL and division of estate, it would appear that he had only four children, Agnes who m. Samuel Cooper and died of cancer in Feb 1850 at Wilkes Co., NC(in mortality schedule of Wilkes Co., NC in 1850 census), daughter Margaret, and sons Nathan C. Hunt and Noah Hunt of whom nothing further has yet been learned.
On 17 May 1814 Enoch was abutting landowner to William Ashby, a sale of which was witnessed by (among others) Enoch Hunt and Smith Hunt. Under the same date William Ashby sold to Enoch Hunt for $105 26 1/4 acres of land on the south side of Ceder Creek on bank of it next said Enoch Hunt and next Danmiel Hunt on the north bank, witnessed by Nathanial Brock aand John Little, Jr., and proved by the latter in Nov 1814. On 21 Nov 1814 Enoch Hunt wrote his WILL providing that wife Elizabeth was to have use of "my mill, etc until my eldest sone is of the age of 21, to support herself and the children. The negroes were to be divided among the children, and Agnes Cooper (daughter) is entitled to all she has. Executors were Col. Daniel Hunt and William Chaffin, witnesed by A. Hunt and Nathan Chaffin Jr., (Rowan Co., Book G, p.344). Enoch died 22 Nov 1815 and there appears to be a delay of several years in settling the estate. On 6 July 1819 Samuel Cooper and Agnes Cooper sold a negro names Sissa, age 15 years, to Joseph Clouse of Rowan Co., for $600. The widow Elizabeth m. 2d 22 March 1817 John Frost (per Chaffin Bible), descendants said to have gone to Lone Jack, in 1842. By order of May Court of 1823 division of the estate of Enoch Hunt in conformance with his WILL was made and approved at November Court of 1823 by Commissioners John Dismukes, Thomas Ferrabee, Benjamin Eaton and William Taylor survey by John Little. The widow's dower was 88 3/4 acres on the bank of Ceder Creek next ___(?) Hunt, down the creek to John Frost's to the mill house including the home. Lot # of 140 acres went to Noah Hunt, next the millhouse on Ceder Creek down to John Frost's. Lot #2 goes to Nathan Hunt and is 126 acres on the creek bank next the millhouse of E. Hunt. (Division of Estates, Book A, p.309). A division of personal property was made 29 Aug 1823 by commissioners John Dismukes, Thomas Ferebee, and Nathan Chaffin in five lots: Lot #1 was a negro and $135.20 to Samuel Cooper (husband of dau. Agnes); Lot #2 was negroes Sam and Eddy and other property to Nathan C. Hunt; Lot #3 consisting of negroes Byrd and Christ and jother property goes to Margaret L. Hunt (presumed daughter); Lot #4 was a negro and two children to Noah Hunt; Lot #5 consisting of three negroes and other property sufficient to make up the one-third widow's dowry went to John Frost, 2d husband of widow Elizabeth. On 21 Oct 1822 Nathan Chaffin,Sr., made his WILL mentioning his hokmeplace of 150 acres "west of Enoch Hunt, east of Ceder Creek". Although subject Enoch had been dead seven years, this description would appear to apply to his old home property. FIELD NAME Page FIELD NAME Page FIELD NAME Page
