| Notes |
- From Carol Gilham: "Captain John Hunter, b. 1664, father of Elizabeth, came from the north of England and was the son of John and Ann. (One authority, "Friends Records in Ireland", seems to think that he was born in Yorkshire, but another has it that he was born in County Wicklow, Ireland, after his parents had gone there from East Cottingwith, York, Aughton Parish.) He was a strong and bigoted churchman. When James II ascended the throne, he moved to Rathdrum, Wicklow County Ireland and became an extensive grazier. When William and Mary ascended the throne and with their arms followed the fugitive forces of James II into Ireland, John Hunter entered the Protestant Army as a trooper and with his friend Anthony Wayne, (grandfather of Mad Anthony Wayne) was present at the Battle of Boyne and fought July, 1690."
"All the sources I have indicate that John Hunter and Margaret Albin had at least 10 children, maybe 11. They had a Peter and a James. They are not the same person. Joy Steel Williams thinks that there were 2 Peters. She says that the first one was christened in 1710 and was buried in 1711. (None of my other sources list 2 Peters.) The problem I have found with Peter and James is that many of the sources say that Peter died in Feb. 1782 and that is the date I found on James' gravestone at St. David's. Also the Seymour Green charts I sent you say that James died Feb. 17, 1782, in his 71st year. John Hunter's will lists both James and Peter, but Peter was not yet 21 when John died."
"He likely moved to Newtown Square about 1722, but he arrived in Pennsylvania a few years prior to that, probably in 1718. His daughter Ann married Samuel Baker in Philadelphia in 1720. There is evidence that John Hunter was born in East Cottingwith, Yorkshire, East Riding, England." [2]
