Jefferson Hunt secondary church record
Jefferson Hunt, son of Amos Hunt and N[ancy] G[arret] Welborn, was born 29 Oct 1852 in Weber, Utah. The town is not specified. Family lore says he was born in Mound Fort, but this is not possible, since the announcement to "fort up" was not made until July 1853.
He was then blessed 2 Jun 1875 by John L. Smith. He would have been pretty old to have a baby blessing at this age. Is this a Patriarchal Blessing?
His baptism is recorded as 1860. No day and month given.
Jefferson was received back into the Hebron Ward from Rabbit-Valley in Nov 1883 after a short stay there.

Amos Hunt Hebron Ward Membership Record
Amos and his wife Nancy Garett Welborn were baptised in July 1844 by Daniel D Hunt and confirmed as well.
Amos was re-baptized and re-confirmed on 16 Nov 1878 by Thomas Sirls Terry. Nancy, Amos' wife, was re-baptized and re-confirmed a few days later on 22 Nov 1878 by P. Hunt.
Their little family was received from the St. George Ward on 10 Dec 1861.
They left the ward 2 Oct 1882, going to Rabbit Valley just 2 months before Jefferson was born there in Thurber, Wayne, Utah.
A note is also made above Amos that he was received into the ward 13 April 1882 from Gunlock. This move is unknown to me at the time of this posting.

Jefferson Hunt was born at Mound Fort, Weber, Utah
| Site of Mound Fort SITE OF MOUND FORT Mound Fort as a settlement began in 1848 when the first pioneers arrived in this locality. Others followed and erected a fort on an Indian burial mound. Its steep west slope, cut to a perpendicular face 10 feet high topped with a 3-foot breastwork, served as a lookout. Mud walls were begun on the other side. Cabins were built. A spring furnished water. Meetings and school were held in private homes. As more settlers came, Indian threats subsided and the fort fell into disuse. | ||||||||||||
