• Notes

  I have 2 triangulations to James Alexander and Isabelle Currie Hunter's descendants on Gedmatch with Q scores supporting this small cM match as strong on chromosome 20, segments 4,300,000 to 5,200,000. Two descend through John Hunter married to Rachel Coleman. One descends from his son John married to Rachel McFarland. Both descendants lived in Stokes County, N.C. though I have a triangulation with the John married to Rachel McFarland. I have hunted for the one married to Rachel Coleman with no success. I also have 10 cousin matches to descendants of his children on Ancestry at 8 cM-22cM matches in size. Out of all of his sons, John is the likely father of Nancy and Susanah as he lived in Stokes most of his adult life. James Alexander's son, David, lived there for a very short while as the 2nd possibility. Neither appears to have raised these daughters suggesting they could have been illegitimate through a neighbor, possibly a slave. Since Susanah married a Mulato who could pass for white, maybe the same was true of her also.
