The son of John and Elizabeth (Jeans) Hunter. They came from Surry Co., North Carolina to Lone Jack, Missouri in 1835.
He married c. 1843 to Mariah Spainhour, daughter of Jacob and Susanna Spainhour.
In 1850, they were living two doors away from his parents:

They must have moved back home to Lone Jack, Jackson Co., MO as William was one of the six men arrested and shot by Union troops while they were preparing with their families to leave the county pursuant to General Order #11. Their sons Archibald and Robert Hill were both away at this time serving in the Confederate army:
From obituary of John Hunter, his father;
"On the morning of Sept 6,1863, a company of Federals came to his place, as he was about moving out of the county under order No.11, (they) took two of his sons (William and David), one son-in-law, one grandson, one cousin and another man, and taking them a short distance from the house, shot them all dead, and left the bodies lying on the ground; and this aged father, with only the assistance of his neighbor, Martin Rice, hastily buried them."

Mother reported on the 1900 census that only five of her eight children were still living, and they were William, Frank, John, Jacob, and Benjamin]. Listed as an heir of her father William's in her Aunt Berilla Hunters's 1896 probate papers.
The son of John and Elizabeth (Jeans) Hunter. They came from Surry Co., North Carolina to Lone Jack, Missouri in 1835.
He married c. 1843 to Mariah Spainhour, daughter of Jacob and Susanna Spainhour.
In 1850, they were living two doors away from his parents:

Maria, 27, NC

By 1860, they had moved to Cass Co., Missouri:

Jno B., 9, MO
Jacob S., 5, MO
Benj F., 3, MO
C L Fraker, 20, MA?
They must have moved back home to Lone Jack, Jackson Co., MO as William was one of the six men arrested and shot by Union troops while they were preparing with their families to leave the county pursuant to General Order #11. Their sons Archibald and Robert Hill were both away at this time serving in the Confederate army:
From obituary of John Hunter, his father;
"On the morning of Sept 6,1863, a company of Federals came to his place, as he was about moving out of the county under order No.11, (they) took two of his sons (William and David), one son-in-law, one grandson, one cousin and another man, and taking them a short distance from the house, shot them all dead, and left the bodies lying on the ground; and this aged father, with only the assistance of his neighbor, Martin Rice, hastily buried them."

In 1870, Maria was living with her children in Vernon Co., MO:

Maria Hunter, 47, NC
Frances (male), 24, MO
John B., 19, MO
Jacob S., 14, MO
Benj F., 12, MO
Louisa E., 7, MO
Sometime between 1870 and 1880, Maria moved with her children to Hayes Township, Reno Co., KS. Hopefully it was after the catastrophic drought in Kansas in 1874 that caused so much hunger and devastation.
Her son Jacob's land was in the very northern part of Hayes township and Reno county, only half a mile from the boundary with Rice county. Maria probably lived in the same vicinity:

By 1900, Maria had moved to Los Angeles, California with her son John who went into business making tamales. He must have been successful at it as he continued in business for many years. Sons William and Jacob stayed in Kansas, while sons Robert and Frank went to Lincoln Co., Oregon. Robert died in 1895 and his widow Nancy then took her children to Los Angeles.

Mother reported on the 1900 census that only five of her eight children were still living, and they were William, Frank, John, Jacob, and Benjamin]. Listed as an heir of her father William's in her Aunt Berilla Hunters's 1896 probate papers.
He married c. 1843 to Mariah Spainhour, daughter of Jacob and Susanna Spainhour.
In 1850, they were living two doors away from his parents:

By 1860, they had moved to Cass Co., Missouri:

They must have moved back home to Lone Jack, Jackson Co., MO as William was one of the six men arrested and shot by Union troops while they were preparing with their families to leave the county pursuant to General Order #11. Their sons Archibald and Robert Hill were both away at this time serving in the Confederate army:
From obituary of John Hunter, his father;
"On the morning of Sept 6,1863, a company of Federals came to his place, as he was about moving out of the county under order No.11, (they) took two of his sons (William and David), one son-in-law, one grandson, one cousin and another man, and taking them a short distance from the house, shot them all dead, and left the bodies lying on the ground; and this aged father, with only the assistance of his neighbor, Martin Rice, hastily buried them."

In 1870, Maria was living with her children in Vernon Co., MO:

Sometime between 1870 and 1880, Maria moved with her children to Hayes Township, Reno Co., KS. Hopefully it was after the catastrophic drought in Kansas in 1874 that caused so much hunger and devastation.
Her son Jacob's land was in the very northern part of Hayes township and Reno county, only half a mile from the boundary with Rice county. Maria probably lived in the same vicinity:

By 1900, Maria had moved to Los Angeles, California with her son John who went into business making tamales. He must have been successful at it as he continued in business for many years. Sons William and Jacob stayed in Kansas, while sons Robert and Frank went to Lincoln Co., Oregon. Robert died in 1895 and his widow Nancy then took her children to Los Angeles.
