  • Notes 
    • We know that Susan had a likely close relative, Nancy Hunter. Susanah was born in North Carolina according to 3 out of 4 census records. Nancy was born in NC according to most of her census records. Nancy married in 1815 to Asa Amos in Stokes Co., N.C. I currently have 3 triangulations with descendants of the father of Robert's parents and ancestors.

      Nancy and Susanah were obviously close to each other as they both moved to Cabell Co., Virginia, and then to Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio together. They went to the same Baptist church and are both buried in a cemetery surrounding that church.

      Susan is called Saruh in the 1870 Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Census. In that one, she is listed as being born in Virginia instead. She married in Cabell Co., Virginia in 1823 to William Clark. Cabell became a part of West Virginia in 1869.

      I had compared the DNA of over 50 Hunter leads without finding a cousin match up till now. The Stokes Co., NC marriage record of her relative, Nancy, is what gave me the breakthrough.

      I visited her gravesite in Oct. 1993 with my parents, daughter, cousin Grace Ann and my nieces. We could only tell it was her grave because it was next to her husband's. A rubbing verified it was her grave although it was unreadable to the naked eye due to moss. My daughter and nieces placed flowers on her and her husband's grave while the sun lowered in the sky. It was a very special memory as it could have been 75 years since a family member visited. The stone had a civil war medallion on it. I'm sure the church couldn't read the stone and didn't want to slight any soldier.

      There are 9 cousin matches to Susannah currently from John Martin Hunter's sons. I have the most matches and the largest match with his son Robert. They are half or step matches according to Ancestry. This suggests that Susannah is the daughter of Robert and another woman, possibly one of his many slaves. We haven't found where Robert lived from most of the census records from 1790 onward. Other possible fathers for Susannah include Capt. John Madison Hunter's sons, John, Benjamin or William who at various points in time can be verified as living in Stokes Co., North Carolina where Susanah's relative, Nancy married in 1815.

      Susanah did marry William D. Clark where my dna so far is saying he was the son of William Clark and Jane Ferguson. Their son James A. Clark had very kinky hair and tan skin from a Civil War tin type suggesting he had some African ancestry. James A. also had a long narrow pointed nose and gray eyes which probably enabled him to be in the census records as white.
