Thomas M. Hunter1

M, b. circa 1785, d. February 1850
     Thomas M. Hunter has not actually been proven to be the father of Thomas M. Hunter of Rhea and Meigs Counties in Tennessee. Though other researchers seem to believe so.

However at this time this researcher is going to break the marriage link with Elizabeth Drake. There seems to be 3 possible wives at this time (19 Oct 2014). When more solid evidence is found then a wife will be readded. He was born circa 1785.1,2 He died in February 1850 at Meigs County, Tennessee.1,2
