Note from
Judy
Scanned images of
this bible were provided by J. Robert
Danley of Bella Vista, Arkansas who
currently has possession of this bible
found by a cousin, Terry
Danley. They are descendants of
Jonathan Hunt, son of Levi B. Hunt
The bible is a
Collins Stereotype Edition published
by Charles Evers, Boston and stereotyped
by B. & J. Collins, NY. Printed about
1816, 3rd
edition.
First entries
were of the births and marriage of Levi
B. Hunt to Nancy Buckner and the birth of
their children. Those entries appear
to have been entered at the same time in
the same handwriting, probably by Levi B.
Hunt. The last entry in this handwriting
was the marriage of Eliza Mariah Hunt to
Absalom Bowman Aug. 8, 1844. Levi B. Hunt
died October 15, 1845. Later entries
varied in ink, handwriting, etc.

Levi B. Hunt was
a resident of Monroe Co. Tennessee from
1828 until 1836. He was a resident
of Clay Co., Kentucky from 1837 until
1843 when Owsley Co. was
established. The county line ran
down Levi’s property line with Levi
B. Hunt being in Owsley Co. Kentucky.
Based on dates,
places of birth and marriages, I
believe that Nancy Buckner Hunt, the
widow of Levi B. Hunt and children
Caroline Celena, Elizabeth, James B., and
Jonathan Hunt and their families traveled
from Owsley Co., Kentucky to Barry County
Missouri between July 1, 1853 and October
4, 1853. Daughter, Eliza Mariah Hunt
Bowman and family joined the rest of the
Hunts in Barry Co., Missouri between
1857 and 1860. All are listed on the 1860
Barry Co., Missouri Census.
I am a descendant
of James B. Hunt
