• Notes

  Her exact birthdate is uncertain and varies from 1849-1852. I believe she is the daughter named Emily on the 1850 census. Amanda’s birthdate differs on every census. Per the 1900 Van Zandt County Census, her birthday was in February. Amanda and Thomas were married by Elder John McClain. Their marriage license was issued in Coryell County, Texas. It was filed 11-23-1877, in Coryell County Vol. D-1, Page 270, where T.E. is incorrectly named Hinton. On the 1880 Census, they lived next door to Amanda's parents in McLennan County, west of Crawford, where Tonk Creek crosses High Bridge Road near the Coryell County line. On December 2, 1891, they purchased three town lots on the east side of the Brazos (near the current IH35). On April 16, 1892 they sold the lots. After their daughter Artie’s marriage in 1896, they moved with their daughter and with Amanda’s sister Anna Belle to Van Zandt County. About 1907, they moved to Dallas because daughter Artie was very ill. About 1910 they moved to Caddo Mills in Hunt County. Daughter Artie died and is buried there. After that they moved to Branch in Collin County, where Amanda died in 1917. She is buried at Wilson Chapel Cemetery in Lowry Crossing, Collin County, Texas. Amanda and husband T.E. Hunter lived with their only child Artie from the time Artie married in 1896. [End Amanda Roxanna Carter Hunter] ________________________________________________________ Find a Grave Amanda's year of birth is uncertain. Her headstone says 1852. However, she is a different age on every census. It is possible she was born about 1850 in Tippah County, Mississippi. If her birth was after 1851, she was born at Webberville in Travis County, Texas. She was a daughter of James Carter and wife Salina Roxanna Dean. Amanda married Thomas E. Hunter on September 12, 1877 in Coryell County, Texas. T.E. and Amanda had only one child, Artie Bell, born 1878 in McLennan County, Texas. Artie married T.B. Thompson in 1896 in McLennan County, and Amanda and T.E. moved with them to Van Zandt County, Texas about 1898. They lived with their married daughter throughout Artie's marriage and even after Artie's premature death in 1913. About 1907, they moved from Van Zandt County to Dallas, Texas to seek medical attention for Artie. When doctors could do no more for Artie, the family group moved to Caddo Mills in Hunt County, Texas, where Artie died and is buried. After Artie's death, T.B. Thompson and children, along with Amanda and T.E., moved to Collin County, Texas. Amanda never recovered from the loss of her daughter and is said to have died of grief four years later. Her month and day of death are not recorded, but may have been September. Her granddaughter Irma, who was 9 years old at the time, remembered riding to the cemetery in a wagon and said it was a rainy day.
