Re: Seeking Help With Hunt Family Identification

Hello,
I could use your help. I would appreciate any help you can give on the Hunt family and their allied families. I saw an old posting regarding your Jesse A. Hunt, son of Grandison B. Hunt or is it Brittian Grandison Hunt. I am interested in proving if Jesse A. Hunt’s sister Polly and my Polly Hunt be one and the same person? I would greatly appreciate any help with my branch of the Hunt line.

I have only been able to research my Hunt family line as far back as that "Polly" Hunt; I have my Polly being born ca.1826 in Tennessee. I have Polly Hunt’s being married to Franklin Smith, and listing him born ca. 1824 in Tennessee.

The proven information I have on my Hunt family tree is as fellows:
Polly Hunt and Franklin Smith, they had at least one son ... John Martin Smith.

* John Martin Smith, born August 10, 1847 in Tennessee and died at his son's Ed ‘s home at 807 Lincoln Street, Springfield, Greene County, Missouri in on July 14, 1910 and is buried in Ash Grove, Greene County, Missouri. John married ~ Sarah "Sallie" Thomas Boone on February 28, 1871 in Ash Grove, Greene County, Missouri, born July 20, 1849, St. Frances County, Arkansas Territory. Sallie died October 14, 1906 Ash Grove or Springfield, Greene County, Missouri and is buried in Ash Grove, Greene County, Missouri.

** John Martin Smith and Sarah "Sallie" Boone children are:
