Concerning Alonzo Hunt, Dan Overby, and Hunt Hargrave: These boys are first cousins, aged approximately 17, 13, 13, respectively. On June 19, 1849, Vol. 2, Book 6, JWG writes: cholera about very much this Spring Mr C. A Hunt Died of it at Independence Mo." Christopher Alfonzo Hunt was Nannie's younger brother, born in 1822. In March 1849, James Hunt (another of Nannie's brothers) and wife Elizabeth had their first child and named him Christopher Alonzo (d. 1907). Daniel Alonzo Overby (1853-1931) is the son of Martha Hunt Overby (Nannie's sister) and Isaac Overby. John Hunt Hargrave (1853-1935) is the first child of Ruth Hunt Hargrave (Nannie's sister) and Jesse Hargrave. JWG writes on Dec 12, 1853: "Mrs Overby Died in Charlotte as we hear ... in morning the 10th Decr 1853", Vol. 2, Book 9. Daniel was born September 2.
