Biographical notes:

Detailed information about Emsley Burgess and Thomas T. Hunt may be found in Diary of a Tinsmith by L. W. Cates, which appeared in the Randolph County, N.C., Genealogical Journal (Fall 1996 and Spring 1997), and which is included in the collection. The following information was excerpted from that publication.

Emsley Burgess lived in Franklinville, Randolph County, N.C. His wife was Nancy Caviness. Burgess was buried in the Franklinville Methodist Cemetery.

Thomas T. Hunt was born in Guilford County, N.C., on 5 July 1800, the son of Nathan Hunt, Sr. (1769-1853) and his second wife, Prudence Thornbrugh (d. 1822). Thomas T. Hunt married Nancy Dougherty Stockton in 1822. The Hunts were Quakers, who had a large family and, by 1849, a small tract of land in Franklinville. Hunt farmed and worked as a tinsmith.
