William Hunt was one of eight children born to Robert and Margaret Shepherd. He was christened at Worth Matravers Dorsetshire, England on the 29th September, 1811.
He met Eliza Stickland (bapt on the 23rd July, 1820 Kimmeridge in Dorsetshire England dtr. of Henry Stickland bp: 22nd April, 1792 in Steeple Dorset and Mary (nee Crumpler) bp 14th February, 1796 Turners Puddle Dorset). Henry married Eliza on the 5th April, 1838 in the Parish Church of Steeple Dorsetshire in England.
On the marriage certificate there is a Robert Hunt stated as being the father of William Hunt and his occupation being a labourer. William Hunts occupation is also stated as being a labourer.
William Hunt arrived at the Swan River Colony in Western Australian on the "City of Bristol" 8th August, 1857 with his wife Eliza Stickland and 7 of there 9 surviving children. The two eldest had died as infants and were buried in Worth Matravers, Dorset, England.
All the children of William and Eliza were born in Worth Matravers Dorsetshire in England except for daughter Eliza who was born at sea on there way to the Swan River Colony in 1857 . There youngest child Robert Henry Hunt was born in Western Australia.
William Hunt was a labourer, and the first yeoman to purchase land at Greenough flats. Champion Bay district in 1861 - 26 acres & 100 acres in 1866 - Greenough. William Hunt by 1862 had several tillage leases and pastoral leases around Greenough. William's son in law George Booth had joined him in his leases. They were not producing much wheat, but in 1864 and 1866 the crops flourished as they were continually at Malley's Mill. Constant reference is made to "Hunt's Team" bringing or taking produce from the Mill.
Mark Fripp also an exconvict was a Teamster and had married William Hunt's first daughter. This all suggests that William Hunt was the Squire, with George Booth a Farmer and Mark Fripp the Teamster.
There was no fertilisers available. Every drop from the animals would have been prudently used, but because they had to continually crop their 100 acre tillage leases each year, the rich soil was only tilled a few inches the first year, then deeper the next and so on over the years until the fertility was depleted.
One of the problems experienced by the farmers because of the size of the block was that after continual cropping, which they would have hd to do to exist, the corp yields would drop off to non economical proportions. To this day, even twith modern fertiliser, the land is experiencing similar characteristics. The heavy soil of the land also is difficult to farm with modern equipment becuae when it becomes wet the rotating wheels of motor vehicles collects the clay and layer after layer of clay build up on the tyres until they can no longer rotate properly.
On the 28th September 1866, William Hunt and George Booth applied for a tillage lease on Lot 211 of 100 acres at Yardarino. It was forfeited by non payment of monies owed on 25th May 1868. William and son in law George farmed an area of about 500 acres in this area south of Yardarino Reserve, a rich fertile area called by the Aborigines "Moola-Moolatha". The area was a mixture of open flats and York Gum Forest. William Hunt was the first Yeoman to tak up land in this area and it was named after him. To this day it still bears his name, Hunts Flat, Hunts Farm Road.
A large pile of lime stone marks the site of William Hunt's farm house and it would have been a regular stopping place for people travelling along the road to Perth. The well on the north side of Hunt's house was fed by a spring of crystal clear beautiful water and would have been a welcome resting place for many a thirsty traveller.
A huge river gum tree grows beside the site of William Hunt's house, being solitary and far distant from others suggests that it was planted there to shelter the house from the hot summer afternoon sun.
The sits of Hunt's farm house in on a very slight rise which afforded him views across his cleared land to the south and on to George Booth's adjacent farm. To the west of their farms about 1.5kms distance are some low hills laced with limestone ridges, from these ridges they carted the stone to build their houses.
The first telegraph line to Perth crossed east to west just south of Hunts house.
George took up his final tillage lease No. 5010 (later changed to No. 1246) of 120 acres, this was just south of lease No. 4412 and had a common boundary with leases of his father in law. The whole area was on what was then the main road to Perth, a road whose direction was basically controlled by available water sources as water was so essential for the weary traveller be it on foot or by horse or cart. The road to Perth ran south through Hunt's Flat then south west to Arrowsmith, south through the Lakes of Eneabba and onto the established farms at Walebing.
William Hunt (a farmer) died on the 16th July 1883 at the age of 72 of natural causes and was buried at Greenough Cemetery Western Australia.
Eliza Hunt possibly went to live with one of her children until she was possibly put into a home where she died on the 10th February, 1904 of Senile Decay in Tower St Leederville Perth Western Australia aged 84. She was buried at Karrakatta Cemetery Perth on the 11th February, 1904 in the Salvation Army Section AA Plot 47.

Question.
1. Where and in what year were you born?
Answer. In Southampton County in the State of Virginia in the Parish of Nottoway on the 18th day of March 1758.
Question.
2. Have you any record of your age and if so where is it?
Answer. I have my age recorded in an old Common Prayer Book into which it was transcribed from an old Bible once belonging to my father when I was about 27 years of age. The Bible I think has been lost or destroyed for many years back while in possession of my eldest son.
Question
3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?
Answer. I was first called into service in Southampton County Virginia, and I continued to live in said County when at home until the 9th day of November, 1801, when I removed to Montgomery County Kentucky from thence in about two years I removed to Clark County Kentucky where I resided about eight years when I removed back to Montgomery County aforesaid where I resided about three or four years when I removed to Bath County in Kentucky until between six and seven years ago (to the best of my recollection, when I removed from thence to Owen County in the State of Indiana where he has since continued to live and where he now lives.
4. How were you called into service; were you drafted; did you volunteer; or were you a substitute?
Answer. I was drafted into the militia service as before stated.
5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers who were with the troops where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services?
Answer. As before stated the first militia company into which I was drafted had Edmund Tyler, for Captain, John Carr Staffney, Lieutenant and Arthur Bowen, Ensign,; that he was out in such militia services at least six different tours of duty; and he thinks one or two more such tours, but is positive as to but six tours; that in his first tour he was marched to Portsmouth, thence to Fort Stephen on Wind Mill point on reaching Portsmouth he found a considerable number of Continental troops said to amount to 1500 or thereabouts which he thinks (but is not certain) was commanded by a Gen. Nelson; Fort Stephen was commanded by a Capt. Booker; - that he was six weeks engaged in said tour of service. That in the later part of May or beginning of June following he again entered the service by draft, a Company being then Commanded by Capt. John Rogers the names of the lieut. and Ensign not recollected,that in such his second tour he was marched thro' the town of Suffolk to the Enemy's lines and was frequently marched from point to point, as the movement of the enemy who occasionally landed at different places along Elizabeth river rendered necessary; that as before stated he was out (being drafted) on at least four other tours of duty in the militia service during said war, but has no distinct recollection, from his old age and consequent lofs of memory, of the order of events during the said tours subsequent to the second and preceding the last two; that Jefse Whitehead was his captain in one of those intermediate tours, in one of which he was marched to the town of Smithfield in "Isle of Wight" County, at another time to "Mead's Mill" in Nansemond County, at another time to a place then called "Burnt Mill" at another time to "Sholders Hill" and at another time to "Murderer's Old Field"; that in his last tour aforesaid, his company under the command of Capt. Elias Herring, (Lieut. not recollected) and Arthur Bowen, Ensign, joined the regiment to which it was attached at Broad Water Bridge in the edge of "Isle of Wight" county on the 15th April 1781, which Regiment was commanded by Col. Gaskins who had commanded the regiment to which declarant was attached in all his said tours of duty except the first tour, when it was commanded by Col. Wells, that his major's name was ____ Duvall in all his tours; that Benjamin Blount was that Colonel of the resident militia of said county of Southampton but seldom, probably never left said county on actual service; that in one of said tours the detachment to which he belonged had an action with the enemy commanded by Gen'l Arnold and Gen'l Phillips he does not know which was the officer in command, that the American forces on that occasion were commanded by Gen'l Muhlenburg and were compelled to retire. And for further particulars under this interrogatory he refers to his first declaration herewith returned, particularly as to another tour of service as a volunteer in a regiment commanded by Col. Dick, and Major Boyce, which declaration is true in substance and matter of fact as therein stated. That he served as a private in all his tours of duty and served six weeks in each tour aforesaid, making altogether at least thirty six weeks. Since making the first declaration he distinctly recollects that he was hired as a substitute in the place of one ____ Bryant (whose Christian name was Nathan ( he thinks but is not certain) to perform another six weeks tour of duty in addition to the above six tours and served as a private in the same regiment commanded by Col Gaskins as aforesaid for two weeks at least when the corps to which he belonged was discharged honorably, making the whole length of such his militia service at least thirty eight weeks.
6. Did you ever receive a discharge from the service? and what has become of it?
Answer. I did receive a written discharge from the service. It was given by Gen'l Muhlenburg, and just before my first declaration was sent to the War Department. I gave it to James Whitcomb, Esq to be enclosed and transmitted in it.
7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood and who can testify as to your character for veracity and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution?
Answer. John Jones and Robert M. Wooden whose testimony is annexed to my first declaration herewith forwarded, and others may be procured if necefsary.

A newspaper article in Caro, Michigan, January 18, 1962 recorded the death of James Oliver as follows:
FORMER CARO COUPLE OVERCOME BY GAS
Word was recived Friday morning of the death of James W. (John) Oliver formerly of Caro and now of Mt. Pleasant, Texas. According to authorities, Oliver died of gas asphysication at his Texas home on Thursday. His wife, Mary is still in a Mt. Pleasant, Texas hospital in serious condition from the same gas poisoning.
The asphysication occurred during the extreme low temperatures which have hit the Texas area and have been responsible for scores of other deaths. Reports from Mt. Pleasant indicated that something went wrong with the heating system and although Oliver called the operator, by the time police arrived it was too late to help him. Mrs. Oliver was rushed to the hospital. Oliver is a well-known former lineman for the REA of the Thumb and had retired at his native Texas home a few years ago.
He was born at Mt. Pleasant on October 10, 1881 and moved to this county in March of 1940 after having lived for a time in Bad Axe. He was one of the first employees of the Thumb REA, working first at Ubly then at Bad Axe and later at
Caro. He married Mary Vera King. She survives as does a daughter, Mrs. Wayne (Mary) Goodchild of Fairgrove; and two sons, William and James of Detroit. He also leaves a brother, William of Little Rock, Arkansas; nine grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. Funeral services and burial was at Mt. Pleasant on Sunday, January 14. He had been an active member of the Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 226, FAM at Caro (Masonic) and had transferred his memberhship to a similar lodge at Mt. Pleasant.
Aunt Vera recovered and lived until her death in Mt. Pleasant. She suffered from sugar diabetes. She would call her brother, Bill and other members of the family from time to time. When she was finished talking--no matter what
conversation was going on--she said "and that's that" and would hang up before anything further was said. It was her way of saying goodbye. | KING, Mary Vera (I1330)

Eugene never married--he was stricken with spinal meningitis which left him crippled. When Loujena King first knew him, he was a great help on the farm. Some of his chores were shelling peas, pealing fruit, drawing water, churning, ironing and
washing dishes. Earlier, he went to the field and picked cotton, crawling on his knees. When Mother (Susie) King got sick and left the Mt. Pleasant hospital (Titus County Memorial), she went to a nursing home in Mt. Pleasant before she died,
he came to Abilene and stayed 1 1/2 years in Hiriam (Jake) and Gena King's home--later he lived at Shady Oaks Lodge. He had surgery in the fall of 1968 and had a malignant tumor removed from his intestines. He made a quick recovery and now was
almost 74 years of age. He had good health and enjoyed the activities of the indoor sports club and all of the programs given at the lodge. "By Loujena Sheppard King". When "Uncle Lou" was living with Mother (Susie) King her grandson, Bruce
would bring his children to visit. Uncle Lou was in a wheelchair and would whittle sling shots. He made one each for D'Auan and Tommy. | KING, Johnny Eugene "Uncle Lou" (I1371)

He had a twin brother Howard Oron "Bill" King. The twins were born about 3:30 p.m. on a Friday in Oxford Community; Jake was born first. The doctor charged $10.00. Jake and Bill were about six years old when the family moved to the Ebenezer
community.
Jake's nephew Bruce King often said what a fine man his Uncle Jake was. Jake and Gena took care of his mother during her bout with cancer. They took her to Houston during her treatments and gave her much love and care.
The following Paraphrase of Proverbs 31:10-31 was written by Tilden B. Armstrong:
In Memory of H. H. (Jake) King
A good son, husband, father, who can find?
He is far more precious than stocks, bonds or real estate.
His wife has no occasion to doubt his integrity, and he will prove a good provider.
He remains faithful to his vows all the days of his life.
He seeks for work; finds it and gives a day's service for a day's wage.
He is like the ships of merchants, bringing provisions for his household from far and near.
He rises early in the morning and makes adequate preparations for the day.
He considers every opportunity an occasion for investment, and takes advantage of it.
He plants where he does not expect to reap, but with a prayer that it will bless others.
He gives praise to God for strength of mind and body.
He has conviction that the way of the Lord is profitable.
The radiance ofhis faith is not dismiished by the darkness of doubt, nor the approach of night.
He puts his heart, as well as his hands into his work.
He shares what he has with the poor, and gives a helping hand to the needy.
He doesn't dread the coming of Winter, having used the Spring and Summer to make ready for whatever it may bring.
His neat dress speaks of his kind and gentle spirit.
His wife is honored and respected by all who know her.
The callouses on his hands are the product of his labor, which sustains and blesses his family.
He is clothed with strength and dignity of a faith that keeps a smile on his face regardless of the circumstances of life.
He speaks words of wisdom; his tongue knows no words except those of kindness.
His heart delights in his family. He teaches his children to honor God and neighbor with honest toil.
His children bless God when they remember him; so does his wife; and the life that he lived continues to praise her.
Many men have done excellently, but he is near the top of the list.
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, to some people, but he used them to praise God and bless his neighbor.
The life that he has lived shall never cease to be a blessing and a benediction to all who come after.
Love never dies!
The name was "Jake".
"He Walked with God and God Took Him Home." | KING, Hiram Holman "Jake" (I1375)
