Edward Hunt


Edward Hunt with his wife, Charlotte, and eight children-Jesse, Thomas, Jacob, Edward, Mary, Susan, Charlotte, and Keturah left Sussex county, New Jersey, in the spring of 1806, traveled in his own wagons to Wheeling, Virginia, and thence on two flat-boats to Cincinnati. During the summer of 1806 he selected and bought eight hundred acres of choice land around Elizabethtown, and settled on it at once. Such a family of religious, enterprising, and industrious people was a great acquisition to the neighborhood, and after the lapse of so many years their influence is felt for good, and their memory cherished by the community unto this day.
