These records are only supposition (unless, otherwise stated). They are
taken from Census, courthouse and Land
records. Because of the number o f Children that George and William Sr.
had in Moore, Co. NC, one can only mak e a guess at
where the people fit in the over all picture.
This George was li sted in the 1810 Census. Actually there are (2)
George's listed both with the same household makeup, 6
males under age 10, but the surrounding Censuses do not seem to account
for this second man.
I think what has happened is that G eorge has been enumerated twice. In
the second listing George is probably in the 26-45-age
category (then 35). The older male (over 45) might then be his
unidentified father-in-law, or even George's own father, although
the latter is not accounted for on the 1800 Census. George may thus have
been listed twi ce as head of his own household and
as head of his father-in-law's household. The female in the 10-16
category in the first household might be a servant, a s George
does not seem to have had a daughter born until after 1810.
The 1820 Census again lists William and George Huntesucker, the latter
with a very la rge family. Again, I think he was still in
the 26-45 category, and older male appears to have been still with him.
Your notes include six grants to George H unsucker on West Creek and Big
Branch. Grant #2202, entered Feb. 23, 1812
sh ows that George already held a 148-acre tract on the East Side of West
Creek. Perhaps this was inherited, but the previous
ownership of this tract has not been determined. This land was just
southwest of Robbins, while George M. Hun sucker lived
several miles further North, on Bear Creek.
George Sr. seems to have disposed of all his lands in the deeds proven in
April 1844. As stated a bove, he likely died shortly
after the 1850 Census. AE Parker's "Guide To Moor e County Cemeteries"
however lists no marked grave for him or wife.
From the presently available evidence it is in not really possible to
separate the ch ildren of George Sr., and William Sr. with any
certainty, and indeed, because there were two younger George's of about
the same age, we cannot really say f or certain
whether our George (Jr.) was a son of George Sr. or William Sr., al though
I strongly suspect the former. Hopefully we will be
able to develop s ome further sources of evidence, such as church records.
Another possibility is that study of the later land
records of the Hunsucker's who remained in the area will reveal
inheritance of some of the old land grants, and thus help t o
straighten out the picture.
The children listed as George Sr.'s are from Ce nsus records and deeds.
