Thomas Elmer hunt, birth

From the Hebron Ward Records, Thomas E[lmer] Hunt, son of Jefferson Hunt and Celestia Terry, was born 17 Dec 1882 in Thurber, Piute, Utah.

Thurber was later called Bicknell and when Wayne County was created in 1892  this part of Piute County was incorporated into Wayne County.

Jefferson Hunt secondary church record

Jefferson Hunt, son of Amos Hunt and N[ancy] G[arret] Welborn, was born 29 Oct 1852 in Weber, Utah.  The town is not specified.  Family lore says he was born in Mound Fort, but this is not possible, since the announcement to "fort up" was not made until July 1853.

He was then blessed 2 Jun 1875 by John L. Smith.  He would have been pretty old to have a baby blessing at this age.  Is this a Patriarchal Blessing?

His baptism is recorded as 1860.  No day and month given.

Jefferson was received back into the Hebron Ward from Rabbit-Valley in Nov 1883 after a short stay there.

Now We Can Fix Errors in FamilySearch. Here's a FORM to help.

I was so excited about new.FamilySearch when it was announced.  However, after watching every dump all of their information into it without verifying and proving it, I found it soon became a dumping ground for all kinds of information.  I was even shocked to find my mother had died without me knowing it and her ordinances were up for grabs as a "green arrow".  My mom was shocked too.

But with the new "Family Tree"s, located at familysearch.org, we can clean up the mess.  Whether it remains clean will have to be seen.  I believe some people just go in and mess things up so they can see their name next to the information.  Suggestion - change it back to the correct information and you can still keep your name there.  Most of us don't care who's name is listed - just that the information is CORRECT!!!

Here is a blank copy of a form to help you keep track of those you have Verified, Digitized their records and then willing to SHARE  [click here].  I hope that it helps you clean up your lines so that the record can be a blessing to others as they stop duplicating efforts on ancestors that have been verified and the ordinances done.  Then they can move on to other relatives yet to be discovered.

Happy HUNTing.

Thomas Elmer Hunt Death Certificate

Jefferson Hunt was born at Mound Fort, Weber, Utah

Site of Mound Fort SITE OF MOUND FORT Mound Fort as a settlement began in 1848 when the first pioneers arrived in this locality. Others followed and erected a fort on an Indian burial mound. Its steep west slope, cut to a perpendicular face 10 feet high topped with a 3-foot breastwork, served as a lookout. Mud walls were begun on the other side. Cabins were built. A spring furnished water. Meetings and school were held in private homes. As more settlers came, Indian threats subsided and the fort fell into disuse.
