Memucan Hunt,
1784 - 1787
A native of
Virginia, Memucan Hunt settled
in Granville County (now Vance)
on a plantation. At the age of
41, in 1770, Hunt was chosen
Sergeant-at-Arms of the North
Carolina General Assembly and in
1773 elected as Representative
to the Assembly from Granville
County. When the spirit of
independence began to rise in
the restless colony, Hunt
represented Granville County in
the five Provincial Congresses.
In 1777, with the War for
Independence underway, the
fiscal needs of the colony were
among its greatest concerns.
Hunt was appointed Treasurer of
the Hillsborough district, one
of six district treasurers in
the State at that time. He
continued to hold office in the
General Assembly and in 1779 was
elected to the State Senate,
serving as a member of the
Committee of Accounts.
In November 1783,
the General Assembly, in session
at New Bern, abolished the
district treasurer offices and
established the singular fiscal
position of State Treasurer and
elected Hunt to fill the post.
He took office on January 1,
1784, at a salary of 500 pounds
per year.
During his term
in office, Hunt unwittingly
honored fraudulent claims for
military service stemming from
the Revolutionary War, which
resulted in both litigation and
hearings by the General
Assembly. While he was not
charged with malfeasance, he was
not re-elected. Hunt retired
from State politics to Granville
County, where he became a
wealthy planter and served as
justice of the peace until 1792.
At the time of
his death in 1808, at age 79,
Hunt owned nearly 16,000 acres
of land, 22 slaves, two horses,
four mares, 14 head of cattle
and 33 hogs.

"Pioneer Routes in Central
Kentucky" by Neal O. Hammon,
THE FILSON CLUB
HISTORY QUARTERLY, Vol. 74,
Spring 2000, No. 2, page 139
There was also a
buffalo path going south from
Harrodsburg that led to Knob
Lick, which was located about a
half mile northwest of the
present Junction City. From
this point it would appear that
the trace, and later a county
road, led to Carpenter's
Station, located about two miles
west of the present Hustonville
near Ky. 78. The path continued
westward, going along what is
described in old surveys as "the
Second South fork of the Rowling
[sic] fork." This water-course
is apparently what is now called
the Little South Fork of Rolling
Fork. After following this
branch for several miles, the
trail crossed over the head of
Jones Fork, went down it to the
mouth, then past the present
town of Bradsfordsville.
Continuing to the
southwest, the trail probably
passed Salleetown and
Spurlington and went along the
Trace Fork of Little Pitman
Creek skirting the present
Campbellsville to the north.
The road then more or less
followed Ky. 70 to near
Greensburg, where it went down
another Trace Creek to the
crossing of Green River.
Afterwards it passed through or
near the present villages of
Grab, Pierce, Crailhope, Center,
and Knob Lick on route to the
Blue Springs. The later is
located on the south end of this
sinking creek about ten miles
east of Glasgow, near the
Metcalf County line.

Notes for RACHEL
TUNSTALL:
Per IGI record
found on FamilySearch web site
of LDS, Ambrose Hunt married
Rachel Reed about 1789 in
Greensburg, Creen Co., KY. (I
don't think this is correct) I
believe this Ambrose Hunt was
the Ambrose Hunt that was son of
John W. and Catherine Hunt of
Fayette Co.
Marriage Notes
for AMBROSE HUNT and RACHEL
TUNSTALL:
In all likelyhood
this was a second marriage for
Ambrose Hunt. The ages of his
children and the supposed age of
Rachel make this nearly
certain. It is not proven that
Rachel's last name was Tunstall,
but family tradition says it is,
and that is surported by naming
thier first son Tunstall. No
record of this, or any, marriage
has been found, other than a
marriage between an Ambrose Hunt
and Rachel Reed, circa 1789 in
Green County, KY. This was
before Ambrose, son of Joseph,
came to Kentucky.
