HUNT) came from Eaton, Preble County, Ohio. I remember my Grandfather saying his family hailed from New Jersey and called himself a Jersey Irishman." "There are two Granddaughters and a Grandson of ELIZABETH and WILLIAM CAMPBELL now living in Bowling Green, that I know quite well. They know where the graves of DAVID and MARY HUNT are located. I can remember my Grandfather made a trip down there from Dana, and had stones erected on their graves. He drove down in a horse and buggy. The cemetery is a small obsolete one in a corner of a field near Bowling Green." "JOHN F. HUNT came to Vermillion County to work on a canal being built along the Wabash and as I remember the story, he liked the country so well he talked the rest of his family into coming. By the time they came the canal work was farther along and they settled in Owen County near Bowling Green." <10> The Wabash and Erie Canal was started in 1837 in Owen County.
