... Daniel and Jane (Walthall) Hunnicutt, were reared and married in the Old Dominion, as were also [Daniel's parents], John and Mary (Butler) Hunnicutt.

Of the eight children of Daniel Hunnicutt, the eldest two, James and Elizabeth, were by a former marriage with Mary Binford. The younger set consisted of Jermina; Mary; John; Daniel; Ruth, who died in infancy, and Jane.

[Daniel Hunnicutt] was for many years a hatter by trade, and resided in Petersburg, Va. , but in 1827 removed with his entire family to the vicinity of Milton, Ind., thence to West River, near Hagerstown, and in 1832 he purchased eighty acres of government land in West River township, Randolph county, in section 16, at a cost of $100, of which he only had $25 at the time, which property is now owned by a grandson, and here Daniel Hunnicutt lived until his death, which occurred in 1849.

Of the children, James, the eldest, taught school until afflicted by paralysis. He was married to Peninah Bunton, in 1840, with whom he lived until 1864, when she died. Their only child, William H., is now living in Hamilton county, Ind. After his wife's death, James made his home alternately with two married sisters and his brother John, at whose house his life peacefully ended in 1871.

Elizabeth, the second child of Daniel Hunnicutt, was married to William Modlin, of Henry county, Ind., after having lived for several years with a family near Cambridge City. To them were born six children. Her death occurred in 1880 at the home of one of her daughters.

Jemima, the third child, married John Elwood Wright in 1841, and to them were born seven children, three of whom are still living. They made their home in Henry and Randolph counties until 1861, when they removed to Wisconsin, where the husband died. The widowed mother still lives in South Dakota at the advanced age of eighty-one.

Mary, the fourth child, was married to John Newby in 1854, and lived near Cambridge City. One daughter, Jennie, now the wife of Larkin Macy, blessed this union. She, with her family, now lives with her widowed mother on the old homestead, the husband having passed away in 1870.
