It is believed that "Till" was born either in Scott County, or in Greene County, Illinois.

He and Sarah Berval Philips married in Collin County, Texas on April 11, 1861.

They had a total of 13 children:
Harvey A. (1862-1924)
Sam F. (c. 1866-1925)
Infant Daughter (c. 1867-Unknown)
Susan E. (1868-1941)
William J. (1870-1874)
Jobie P. (1871-1872)
Frank L. (1873-1903)
Mary Isabelle (Molly) (1875-1939)
John Thomas (1877-1939)
Daisy Anna May (1880 - 1962)
Richard (1882-before 1924)
Robert Eli (1884-1934)
Melissa Evelina (1887-1977)

Till served in the Civil War, and when it was over, he walked back to Texas.

He died at the age of 79 years and 11 months after falling off of a hay wagon.

M. C. Hunnicutt, eighty years old, was instantly killed near Van Alstyne, Tex., by falling from his wagon while at work in the field with one of his sons loading hay. He was standing on top of the load when the team unexpectedly started, throwing him backward. He was dead when his son reached him. Mr. Hunnicutt, who is survived by a widow and eight children, was until about a year ago considered one of the largest land owners in the Van Alstyne section. At that time he divided his land among his children, retaining only his homestead and a small tract adjoining Van Alstyne on the west. He was in the Confederate army.
