The United States Census of 1790 shows Hunt Downing living in E. Caln Township Chester County, PA. He is listed as head of family, with four males over 16, males under 16, and five females residing in his home.
From "Chester County and its People", by W. W. Thomson, 1898: "(Hunt Downing) began tavernkeeping at the Washington Tavern, in Downingtown, 1786, and continued in that occupation for many years. He was the first postmaster at Downingtown, and at the time of the Whisky Insurrection was quartermaster to some of the troops encamped near the tavern."
The souce of the names of Hunt Downing's children are from the above.[Downing.ged]

He was the first postmaster at Downingtown, and at the time of the Whisky Insurrection was quartermaster to some of the troops encamped near the tavern." The souce of the names of Hunt Downing's children are from the above. VILLAGE RECORD, Chester county, February 19, 1834: "Death Notice. Hunt Downing an old and respectable inhabitant of the Great Valley, died at his residence in West Whiteland on Friday last. He had been much in active life; a public house keeper, an extensive Stage Proprietor, and a Director of the Bank of Chester county, until about two years since, when infirmities brought on by increasing age, induced him very wisely to resign his situation as Director, and lessen hi business responsibilities. The companieon of his early life, and his tender solace under the weight of affliction, was taken from him about two months since; for some time previous to which he was afflicted with a paralysis, which unfitted him for active life. He has gone to bourne whence no traveller return - at a ripe old age - and the recollections of his kindness and his usefulness will be pleasing to his family and numerous friends." The "Hunt Downing House" still exists, and is on the registry of historical buildings. It is located at 600 W. Lincoln Hwy., Exton, Chester co., PA. The Gregath book indicates "he served in 2nd Co., 2nd Battalion, Philadelphia Militia under Lt. Col. James Read and Capt. George Engels. In 1790 liv East Caln,Chester Co., PA. Will administered 1834, Chester co., PA."
General Notes for Child Joseph Miller Downing
[Downing.ged]
Possible obituary: Village Record, Chester county, March 21, 1865: "Death Notice. On the 19th inst. Jos. M. Downing, in the 79th year of his age. The relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral from the residence of his son, thomas S. Downing, on 4th day next, at 2 o." Another possible child would have been Deborah Downing, wife of Jacob V. Thomas due to the following note in The Village Record, April 29, 1845:
"Death Notice In Centre county, on the 9th of March, Deborah Thomas, Wife of Jacob V. Thomas, and daughter of Joseph M. Downing, of Chester county, aged about 28 years." The age would fit quite properly in this family group.
General Notes for Child Isaac Downing
[Downing.ged]
VILLAGE RECORD, Chester county, April 5, 1837: "Obituary At his residence in Downingtown, on Tuesday, the 28th ult., Isaac Downing, Esq., one of the representatives of this county in the State Legislature, aged 45 years. In this afflicting bereavement, an amiable partner and two interesting little children are left deplore a loss which none others can duly appreciate. It may be truly said, he was one of the best husbands, an most affectionate of fathers. The neighbourhood in which he resided, and indee the whole county, have sustained a severe loss in his dispensation of Providence. Although this was his first session in the Legislature, such was his unwearied attention to the interests of his constituents, that there is no doubt he would have proved a highly valuable and influential representative, an that his constituents would have required his services in future sessions had his life been spared."
General Notes for Child Israel W. Downing
[Downing.ged]
VILLAGE RECORD, Chester county, November 16, 1831: "Obituary, died, at his late residence in West Whiteland, on 5th day, 10th instant, Israel W. Downing, aged 38 years. Few men have entered on the state o life with more encouraging and flattering prospects than the subject of this notice. Blessed with health, and fortune smiling upon him, enjoying the affections of an amiable wife, with their little offspring about them - the world presented itself with its various attractions arrayed in glittering aspect. But he whose mercies are over all his works, has called him to give an account of his stewardship."
