In 1888, my greatgrandmother copied the
following from the bible of John H. Hundley:
"John Henderson Hundley, the son of Charles
Hundley, who was the son of Antony, who was
the son of Joel, who was the first ancestor
known of the name in America, was born in
Halifax Co., Va., March 6, 1796."
Charles Hundley was born in 1768. He married
Ann Elizabeth Estes of Tennessee. His will
was probated December 22, 1845 in Halifax
County, Va (Will book 21, page 110). The
will names the following children: John
Henderson Hundley, Elijah Dupuy Hundley,
Elisha Estes hundley, Thomas Hundley,
Henry W. Hundley, Mary W. Harvey, and
Elizabeth Hooper.
My greatgrandmother was not able to determine
with certanty which Anthony was the father of
Charles. We believe it was the Anthony
Hundley who died in Washington County,
Kentucky in 1811. This Anthony Hundley was
married twice. His will in Kentucky names
the children of his second marriage. His
first wife may have been Mary Estes. Please
advise if you have any information about
this.
