• Notes

  Asa Amos is a Jewish first and last name. It's my theory that his wife Nancy had a Caucasian father, John Hunter, and a mother who was possibly a slave from a nearby homestead as was her probable sister, Susanah Hunter. It might make sense in those times for a Jewish man with little choice in his own community to wed a mulatto woman. It could be why they moved north shortly after marrying. My Susanah married William Clark in Virginia as they moved north. William by DNA appears to be where some of my traces of African ancestry also come from. In any case, Asa/Asy and Nancy had a very large family and long lives for the times. They are closely linked to my Susanah Hunter throughout their adult lives.
