NOTES
1). bobspu.ged m1. Hannah Louise Hunter m2. Frances Roberts Source Jerry Wayne Robinette database Mar 1997 Dear Bob, I got the information you had on Ancestry about Amos Jeremiah Robinett. I am related to his first wife, Hannah Louis Hunter. Note Our family always said it was Louis without the e. This way she signed when her Father died in 1819 without a will. I found a place where I got a copy of the disposal of the property and she had signed it which I took to mean her Mother couldn t write. May be wrong but that was my feeling. We had the names of Amos and a girl Maisie was way it was spelled in our material and said she had died young. Just the other night I found a census in Southhampton Township in Bedford County, Pa for 1850 and it lists Amos Jeremiah age 48 called Jeremiah with wife Frances, age 30, Amos 21, Rachel 19, Rebecca 10, Rose 8, Jesse 6and Mary 2. Now it is not possible that Rachel was daughter of Frances. So is it possible Jeremiah and Hannah Hunter Robinett had another child before she died. Since Jeremiah married Frances in 1839 I would guess the death of Hannah as 1837 8. Anyway to let you know a bit about the family of Hannah Louis Hunter. Her parents were Joseph and Ann Sterling Hunter. They came from a small village not far from Belfast. Joseph born about 1772 and Ann Sterling about 1774. Cannot be exact on these datesas do not know who either of their parents were but he was 17 and she was 15 when they married in Belfast. I do not have the record of time. There was some trouble with the authorities and they left home under cover of night and went to Belfast where they married. Joseph gave Ann a pin for their marriage which one of my cousins has. I have not seen it or if I did I don t remember it. They wore all there clothing layered on way to Belfast. Took a ship and I would imagine at their age they were indenturedbut so far have found no record of that. They had a tea cannister full of tea and a copper teakettle. Another one of my cousins has the cannister but imagine that the copper teakettle might have been given to Hannah. The ship had a very rough crossing and at one time some pirates came aboard. The captain had seen them coming and had the passengers pretend to be sick with smallpox or some contagious disease. The pirates left in a hurry without doing any damage to anyone. The eats on the ship were bad butthey really did like the captain. Ann Sterling Hunter had long auburn hair. The ship landed somewhere on the Maryland shore probably in the area of Baltimore. They found work at a tavern. Son, Joseph Jr. was born in 1790 according to his record from War of 1812. I don t know when they went to Washington County but they ran a tavern in Clear Spring, Maryland where Joseph Sr. died in December 1819. Found this record in a book on Washington County, Maryland wills. He did not have a will but his name was mentioned in this small booklet I found in Iowa City Historical Library. There was an address to write to about items in the book. After several letters back and forth to know what the price was for it and all I got the copies of the papers. When I first gotthem could not see how I could tell they were for the right Joseph Hunter. Then after putting them aside for a time I looked at them again and that time saw Hannah Louis Hunter s name and it looked like she had signed it. Knew from the family her name andrelationship. From the date of that I figured Hannah must have been born around 1800 either a bit before or a bit after. For thought unless she was of age she couldn t have signed a legal document. The man who purchased most ot the material was Othniel Hosford. Ann Sterling Hunter married him in January 1820. I am not sure where they went after that for have not been able to find them in 1830 Maryland census index or I may not have been able to find one of them to look at. Can t remember for sure at themoment. Anyway Ann Sterling Hunter Hosford is mentioned in the book on the Old Pike as running a tavern and a good one in or near Flintstone, Maryland. She was there in 1840 and the book said she retired after a long season. I do not know if she owned itor not as have no access to land records. In the book her name was mis spelled as Mrs. Osford and said her son Joseph helped her with it. This would be Joseph Hunter Jr who married Margaret Holman of Washington County,. Maryland prior to her parents goingto Washington County, PA. I believe they were married in Pennsylvania and it is possible Ann and her second husband were in Pa too. One of Joseph Jr s two daughters was born in Pa when he had a tavern at Centerville. He evidently did not keep it long forhis second daughter two years later was born in Maryland, this was my Great Grandmother Catherine Eliza Hunter Wheeler. Sometime between 1840 and 1850 I believe that both Ann Sterling Hunter Hosford and Joseph Hunter Jr. died. Where I do not know but suspect perhaps in Pennsylvania as in Fayette County, Pennsylvania my great grandmother was married to my Great grandfather Elisha Wheeler in 1849 and in 1850 census her mother Margaret Holman Hunter was living with them. This probably more than you want toknow but wanted to fill you in a bit on Hannah. Are you from this branch. Bernice Edmunds Source Bernice V. Edmunds Mar 1999
