      http://www.cumberland.org/hfcpc/minister/HunterHA.htm

      The subject of this brief biographical sketch was a son of James and Elizabeth Hunter. He was born on the thirteenth of August, 1800, in Campbell county, Virginia, and was a Scotch-Irish extraction. About the year 1804 his father removed with his family to Kentucky and settled in Russellville, Logan county. Here he was raised and educated. His father was in good circumstances and gave his son as good an education as the facilities of the country at that time would afford.
