- Nancy Angeline Jeter Hunter was a daughter of James J. Jeter (b.1795 SC d.1870s Hopkins Co., TX) and Nancy L. Caswell (b.1804-1807 GA d.1860-1864 Hopkins Co., TX)(place of burial unknown). She married Henry Jesse Hunter April 4, 1850 in Union Co., Arkansas. Henry and Nancy Angeline moved to Marion, Union Co., Louisiana about 1855-57. In 1862, Henry enlisted in the 25th Louisiana Infantry of the Confederate Army, along with his wife's brothers. Nancy Angeline's father went to Hopkins County, Texas before the end of the Civil War. It is possible that Nancy Angeline went with him. Henry Hunter appears on an 1867 tax list in Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County, on which he states he had been there two years. By 1870, Henry and Nancy Angeline had moved to Titus County, Texas; and by 1880, they had moved to McLennan County, Texas. Henry Jesse Hunter died January 28, 1885 in McLennan County (place of burial not known). Do not know where Nancy Angeline lived from 1885 to 1900; but from 1900 to 1920, she lived with her son John R. Hunter in Van Zandt County, Texas. Their address was Route 3, Mabank. During her last years, she lived with her granddaughter Annie Hargrove in Oklahoma City, where she died on Jan. 20, 1929.
Nancy Angeline lost four children shortly before her own death: Nancy Ann Martin d.1925, Elizabeth Ann Jones d.1926, John Robert Hunter d.1927, and Thos. E. Hunter d.1928. A son J.S. Hunter (b.1851) disappears after the 1860 census. A daughter Mary L. (b.1873) either died or married after 1880.
