I have Daniel Hunter's headstone In Old Billy Parish Graveyard. It says Daniel Hunter of Castlenagree (Townland) died 5th February 1826, aged 69 years.
My GGGrandfather, Denis Hunter was born to Alexander Hunter of Castlenagree in 1821. I am speculating that Daniel was Alexander's father. Alexander had three sons that I know of: James (apx 1811), Denis, and Neil (apx 1817). The one sister would be Catharne (sic), listed on the gravestone with Daniel.
Daniel's wife was named Anne. She resided in Straidbilly (Townland), Billy Parish after Daniel passed. I have a newspaper obituary stating that she was the relict of Daniel Hunter of Castlenagree of 19 July 1845 from the Londonderry Sentinel.
After Anne passed, the Straidbilly property went to a Margaret McCaig in the Griffiths Revision records. Trying to figure out if she is family (?)
My Hunters all emigrated to Canada West between the years of 1835-1842. There was also a Cousin Daniel. I am trying to connect the dots.
