Birth year of 1822 is supported by his biography in "The History of Harrison County, Iowa," co-authored by his son Charles Walter Hunt, plus his age reported in various census records. ----------- This pioneer was the first to settle in what is now Jefferson township, Harrison county, Iowa. He landed here in the spring of 1850, settling in section 13, but later removed to section 12. Mr. Hunt was born in Saratoga county, New York, February 20, 1822, the son of Walter and Susan (Deming) Hunt. He died in this county, September 30, 1891. His grandfather was Captain Ziba Hunt, a native of Connecticut, born January 4, 1746, and died September 10, 1820, at North Hampton, New York. The father of Jason Z. Hunt was Walter Hunt, born September 22, 1782, and married Susanna Deming. Walter Hunt died March 23, 1863, and his wife in October, 1872. They had ten children, Amos, Joanna, Isaac, Betsy, Sallie, George Washington, William W., Jason Ziba, Amanda M., Alonzo R. Jason Ziba Hunt married and reared children as follow: Camilla S., born July 6, 1849; Livy M., born April 25, 1852; Hattie M., born June 12, 1855; Orville B., born September 18, 1857; died September 16, 1862; Mary E., born February 15, 1861; Charles W., born January 2, 1864. Mr. Hunt, of this memoir, attended school at Fairfield, Herkimer county, New York, from 1844 to 1846 and there studied civil engineering of which he made good use upon coming west. The route taken in coming here from York state was by way of railroad to Buffalo, then to Cincinnati, down the Ohio river by boat and up the Mississippi river, thence up the Missouri river to St. Joseph, Missouri, then by wagon to Harrison county. He taught school in what is now Cass township in 1852, Judge King completing the term. In 1851 Mr. Hunt spent two months in Council Bluffs (Kanesville then called). In speaking of early days in this county Mr. Hunt remarked more than twenty-five years since, that three times he had to walk to Council Bluffs from this county, once for an ax, having broken the one he had, and was unable to proceed with his work without taking this long trip. Politically, he of whom this is written, was a Republican, while in religious faith both he and his good wife were of the Methodist Episcopal church. For a sketch of his son, Hon. Charles W. Hunt, now of the Mutual Insurance Company, at Logan, the reader is referred to other pages in this work. source of biographical sketch: "History of Harrison County, Iowa: its people, industries and institutions, with biographical sketches of representative citizens and genealogical records of many of the old families", 1915, page 639 (Contributor: Our Family) ---------- Sources: (1) Hunt, Hon.
