Hunter Family History, 1810-1965
Let not Ambition mock their useful toil,
Their homely joys, and destiny obscure;
Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile,
The short and simple annals of the Poor.
For "a bold Peasantry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied..."

Churchyard" 1751.

Fall, 1965
Almighty Father, thou knowest who we are --
human beings with a good or a bad conscience,
some content and others discontent,
some secure and others insecure;
convinced Christians and nominal Christians,
believers, half-believers, and unbelievers.
Thou also knowest whence we have come --
from the bonds of family and friendship
or from great loneliness,
from peaceful prosperity
or from manifold adversities and troubles;
from happy, from tense, or from broken homes;
from the core of the Christian community
or from its fringe.
Here we are gathered now in thy presence:
in all our diversity
equally unrighteous before thee and
before each other, equally dependent upon thy love and mercy;
but also equally sharing the love and
forgiveness offered to all mankind
by the Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection,
and Ascension of thy Son, Jesus Christ;
and by the coming of the Holy Ghost.
Send us, O God, as thy messengers,
to hearts without a home,
to lives without love,
to the crowds without a guide.
Send us to the children whom none have made happy, --
to the hungry whom none have fed,
to the sick whom none have visited,
to the fallen whom none have lifted,
to the bereaved whom none have comforted.
Kindle thy flame on the altars of our hearts,
that others may be warmed thereby;
cause thy light to shine in our souls,
that others may see the way;
keep our sympathies and insight ready,
our wills keen, and our hands quick
to help our brothers in their need.
This we ask for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.
Alsa M. 1.
Alsa M. Hunter, whose father is believed to have been English and whose mother is believed to have been French, was born in Georgia (see Hunter, J. T., in 1880 Census, Randolph County, Alabama2 page 34721, lines 1-8) in about 1810 (see Alsa Hunter in 1840 Census, Chambers County, Alabama2 page 205).
Alsa married Martha Stilwell. Their religious preference was Baptist.
Martha Stilwell, a daughter of John Stilwell and Margaret Stilwell, was born in Georgia (see Hunter, J. T., in 1880 Census s Randolph County, Alabama., page 34712, lines 1-8) in about 1810 (see Alsa Hunter in 1840 Census, Chambers County, Alabama, page 205).
According to the 1840 census, Alsa and Martha were living in Chambers County, Alabama, in 1840. Alsa was born between 1800 and 1810; and Martha was born between 1810 and 1820. Thus, they probably were both born in about 1810.
Alsa's occupation was Farming. He owned seven slaves. Of the slaves, one was an adult male between the age of 10 and 24, one was an adult female between the age of 10 and 24, three were males under 10 years old, and two were females under 10 years old.
In 1840, Alsa and Martha had three male children -- one between the age of 5 and 10, and two under 5 years old.
In 1842, Alsa M. Hunter, a trustee of the Bethel Baptist Church, bought some land for the church near Lafayette, Chambers County, Alabama.
Alsa and Martha had seven children. Dockery and Lucian
Alsa M. 2.
(both born between 1830 and 1838), John Thomas (born August 31, 1839), Quincy E. (born September 20, 1841). Judson Zechariah (born December 6, 1844), Augustus (born about 1846), and Margaret Agnes (born about 1849; called Maggie; Baptist; married William Puller; Fuller was killed only a few months later; Margaret later married John Bonds; lived and died in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama) were all seven born on a farm above Lafayette, Chambers County, Alabama.
Unable to locate Alsa M. Hunter or Martha Hunter and family in 1850 Census of either Chambers County or Randolph County, Alabama.
The 1860 Census of Chambers County, Alabama, lists Martha Hunter, age 47, born in Georgia; and Thomas 22, Quincy 18, Judson 16, Augustus 14, and Margaret 11, all five born in Alabama. Alsa must have died before 1860; and Martha and the children were living next door to Martha's parents,
Also living with Martha in 1860, were Nancy Hunter, age 28, born in Georgia (about 1832) -- possibly Lucian's widow; and Mary Hunter, age 10, born in Alabama (about 1850) -- possibly Dockery's daughter.

He could remember how, when he was a child, people would come on Sunday afternoons and sit on the lawn to listen to Frances play the piano. He also remembered how, years later, she married a "Mr. Hunter" and moved to Texas, taking the piano with them.
After the Civil War., J. T. 's occupation was Farming. He and Frances had six children. Margaret Lula (born December 122 1866; Baptist; married William Humphrey Davis, a Druggist in Italy, Ellis County, Texas; died October 25, 1928, one month before her 62nd birthday; and was buried in Hugh's Cemetery, near Avalon, Ellis County, Texas), Victor Emmet (born February 27, 1868), Martha Caroline (born November 28, 1869; Baptist; later changed the spelling of her middle name to Carolyn; married William Ewel Cox, a Lawyer in Texas; died in Dallas, June 10, 1956; age 86; and was buried beside William in City Cemetery, Waxahachie, Ellis County, Texas)., and Fletcher Estelle (born January 27, 1871; Baptist; married Lonnie David Morgan on November 9, 1893, in Italy, Texas;
John Thomas 9.

J.T., Frances, and their four children moved to a farm which J. T. bought on the Tallapoosa River in Randolph County, Alabama, Thomas Lyle (born February 24, 1872) was born on this farm.
After living on this farm for three or four years, J. T. sold it and moved his family to Hickory Flat, Chambers County, Alabama, where he took up Cabinet (Furniture) Making. After living in Hickory Flat for three or four years, J. T. sold again and moved his family to Forrester's Chapel, back in Randolph County, Alabama. This was only five or six miles from where they had lived on the river farm. In Forrester's Chapel, J. T. and a Mr. Floyd entered the Sawmill business together.

(only five or six miles away) as well as when we were there near it at the saw mill. Mr. Forrester" (George Forrester, born November 13, 1818; Master Mason; died November 14, 1899; buried in church- yard) "there was well todo and a prosperous farmer and he had lots of land with so much big heavy timber on it and he persuaded papa to come back there and put up a saw mill and told him he would give him all the heavy timber he could saw up and sell. I am sure you can remember that big yard of lumber stacks down there at the mill don't you? and what a time we had playing all along there."
While living in Forrester's Chapel, J. T., influenced by his friend, George Forrester, joined the Masonic Lodge and became a Master Mason.
In December of 1883, eighteen years after the Civil War and their marriage, J.
