Howard, who is named on Pagig 96 as having assisted in earlier research, prepared a more complete sketeh on each of the two William Petteys. This was done primarily far mse by Harry Petty, of Longview, Texas, in The Petteys of East Tex@pp%@hich he was co-author- ing. Although the significance of the Pettey family to this genealogy does not justify the inclusion of the above migsitioned sketches, it does seem proper to report that the suspected fathigrgon relationship of the two William Petteys has been established by th@ will of the elder William Pettey (Clark County, Kentucky, Vill Book @ p, 41). It is supported also by traditions and by documented associatiqnia, Page 9. Two Lone Graves. Not until yegge after seeing the two Pettey monuments alone beside the road did thig writer learn the reason for their isolation.; It was reported in 1971 by Mts. Virginia Mae Walker Eslinger, a descendant (Page 99), that Lucy iP @ttey, realizing that she would not be leaving home much any more, waiitéd William buried where she could see his grave from the window by whi she sat. .\t her death she was buried at his side. No one else was @¥@ buried there, and the home was finally destroyed. Had it not been #@# the protest of the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Rep@lation, the graves would have been destroyed also when the road was widened for paving. Page 100.

Hunt, then living in Lafayette County; Missouri: “You wrote that mother had gone with you but 1 did not undegtand from your letter whear Polly and her family: was.” Apparently *Pgily and her family” referred to the Moffitts who probably remain in Tennessee. It is noticeable that many of the significant family f@ts gleaned from the family letters, which Nathan C, Hunt preserved §@@ posterity, were first contained in letters which he himself had written Bait which unfortunately do not seem to have been so carefully preserved, On the back of the envelope containing the previously mentioned lettefgom John J. Miller's letter of May 29, 1842, is this notation in unieeognized handwriting : “Elizabeth frost died 18 March °44.” Confirming’ the fact of her death, and to a limited extent its date, is the receipt ami@mg the Hunt Papers signed on October 7, 1844, by her step-son ag fdllows : “Received of Nathan C. Hunt, Agent for the Heirs of Elizabeth Frost, Decd, Thirty three Dollars & 73cts in full of my legasee as appeataining thereto, as witnessed by my hand & Seal this 7th of Oct. 1844.87 Benj. P. Frost”. No court record or other evidence of the settlement @£ this estate has been made available to the writer. Neither has any igeribed marker been found for her in the Lone Jack Cemetery, or elsegeliere. Brief sketches on the five known children} @f Elizabeth Chaffin Hunt-Frost by her first husband Enoch Hunt are pregented in view of the close relationships with Captain John Frost’s Saaren. The order in which they are listed may not be the same as their births. Nathan C. Hunt, as reported on Page 24, married Mary (Polly ) Frost, daughter of Captain John and Rebecca Boone Frost. Margaret Hunt married John J. Miller. They were living in Galena, Tififigis, in 1842. Mary (Polly) Hunt married Nathan (Doc) Moffitt. 199839 they were living in Sumpter County, Alabama; but by 1842 they h@@@hoved to Tennessee, near Knoxville. Agnes [unt married Samuel Codper, They were living in Wilkes County, North Carolina, in 1844, Noah BE, Hunt was married to Ann C- . He apparently was born abatit 1812, since on June 14, 1833, he declared himself of age in claiming inheritance from his deceased father. He was living in Sumpter Cotiiity, Alabama, in 1839 but had moved to Texas by 1840. He and his halfbrother Chaffin Frost were listed in the same household in Centervillg, Texas, by the 1860 Census Report. Benjamin P. Frost, the step-son whom she from early child- hood, appears to have remained with Elizabeth Cligiffin Frost throughout the remainder of her life. Upon the resignatig™ of his half-brother Chaffin Frost from the duties of the admigistration of their father’s estate on October 31, 1840, Benjamin had the full fesponsibility (Sumpter r County, Alabama. and family as they fey The Hix and Stewart Families 371 ried Demarguis Dews Hix; Martha, who married James ( Gambuill ; William; who appears tor-have been the William Stewart named on Page 276 aslhaving married Alcew Hix, the daughter of William Hix; Joshua, who married Eleanor Holt who became the mother of his ty ons, Joshua H. and Wilham Elo: Nachel, who marred John Barrett by whom she had two children, Benton and lauicinda; Nellie, also known | “lender, who mar- ried John C, Hix; Lucinda, who married Moore Smiley; and lohn, who was born about 1815 and whose marriage has ®ot been determined On February 1, 1836, Peggy ( Margaret) Stewart sold to Michael Holt for $250 her interest and dower in the 12Z-acre tarm on the waters of Flat Creek “willed to me by my late husband.” | On the san lav. she purchased for $700 from Samuel Walker 288 acres to be hers for life and to belong to her then minor son John Stewart (Bedford County Deed Bdok ft, 092).

Etx pu “Far i i ate a del The Frost Family Chaffin, and his second wife Elizabeth, the widowi@f Enoch Hunt, left Surry County, North Carolina, for Sumpter Courtt¥, Alabama, approxi- mately five years before his death. Whether theefamily of Noah Hunt, Elizabeth’sgson by a previous marriage, aeggmpanied the [rosts or preceded them to their new home has not beg established by the writer. None of the numerous theories concerning @aptain John Frost's final resting place proved particularly helpful ex@@gé in prolonging the search. Finally a new contact and a renewed effor€%@® prove or disprove the Missouri theory led eventually to the documented answer, Not until 1965 had the writer been able to’ ig@ate a single living descendant of Captain John Frost’s son, John Frost, r., who had migrated to Jackson County, Missouri, at approximately the s@im@ time as his father had been recorded last in North Carolina. This #@ilyre to make such contact was due in part to John Frost, Jr.’s, deathg@®ia fairly early age in 1849 and to the removal of all of his sons from J@@lggon County before, during, or soon after the Civil War, thus leaving neither the Frost name nor much memory of it a hundred years later. Thirst descendant so to identify himself was Judge Earle W. Frost, of as City, Missouri, a great-grandson of John Frost, Jr., who first saw copy of The lrosts and Related Families of Pedford County, Tenneség@y in the New York City Public Library. Judge Frost enthusiastically J@ined in the search but not with immediate success. Three years latemba@i speech he made at Lone Jack, in Jackson County, brought him in teg@h with Mrs. Willa Mae Hunt Terry, who has the distinction of beimg a descendant of Captain John Frost and both of his wives. Mrs, iBerry made available copies of numerous letters and other family recomds. preserved first by her great-grandfather Nathan Chaffin Hunt, whipge identity with the Frost family is well established on Page 24 of th pearlier publication. Many of the items of the Hunt Papers had been taitem to Missouri from North Carolina and have been preserved for more than 130 years by four generations of the Hunt family. That a collectiofy Of this nature by a family with such connections should vield a clue te Captain John Frost's last days was an iwimediate assumption which did pipe Prove disappointing Among the numerous letters addressed to NatggggC. Hunt from var- ous members of his family is one from his mother, Elizabeth Frost, Captain John Frost's widow, dated May 17, -1839, from}G@inesville, Alabama. This letter provided no clear indication that she t#@h was a widow; but Captain John Frost's death was definitely establishéd by a letter from his daughter, Rebecca Frost Hayden, dated February 28, 1840, from Macon County, Alabama. In it Rebecca related how sh@ Rad hopes of seeing her father again after coming to Alabama and howl@4etter from him had expressed regrets that her family had not come on to Sumpter County and then added that, “.. . . . he is left this troubleggmme world and | hope he is gone to heaven... .” ‘Together these letters: pointed straight to the Probate Court Records of Sumpter County, Alabigimma, where the Index carries twenty-three separate references to the addiiifftistration of Captain ¢# The Hix Family the partial settlement vinia, on December for Walliams Ph Fone tie itu rection of the obvt1 following order: Bets Phe addition of Betsy John Hix, Jr. in Jand room for any doubt of the marriage of John Newt she was not of sufficient ag Newton in whose househol | Tenn st rowed ore are compatible hor children are [ste sarah Jane the vo date of the sal Janie, wlio Wiis marriage to Nic) Pac Ze Confirn ham Russell tamiuly Hanks, of Lattle Roe} the tfadition. that.
