John Hunt, Jr.

As seen in the Special Collections at the University of Tennessee Library online:

"John Hunt wrote this letter to his brother, David Hunt, in Franklin County, Tennessee on June 19, 1835. In it, he expresses his desire to step down as Sheriff of Claiborne County, Tennessee after having served for eighteen years."

"John Hunt was born to John and Joanna (Holbrook) Hunt in Hawkins County, North Carolina in 1781. His father was the first sheriff of Hawkins County."


When I wrote this blog in January 2011, I wondered about David Hunt.
