I think John Hunter was of Buckingham Co. VA before he moved to Guilford.
Or maybe  it was recorded in Buckingham because that's where his daughter
lived.  I  don't know.  David Walker (d. 1774) was the one born in New Kent Co. 1700 to
David  Sr. (and wife Anne?)  They are in St. Peter's Parish records.

        Mrs. Marth Susan (Hunter) Jones died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R.O. Coor-Pender, 1[6]22 Highland avenue, Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock as the result of severe burns suffered Wednesday morning at about 7 o'clock.  Mrs. Jones had dressed and was seated in front of the gas fire in her room when her clothing caught fire.  Mrs. Coor-Pender, who was in another part of the house at the time, heard her mother scream and rushed to her room to find her completely enveloped in flames.  Mrs. Coor-Pender hastily snatched a comfort from the bed and rolled her mother in it suffering severe burns herself in her effort to save her mother.  The fire was extinguished, but Mrs. Jones was so severely burned and the shock was so
great that she did not recover.
        Mrs. Jones was [80] years old, and is survived by a sister 12 years her senior.  Her sister, Mrs. Mary A. Miller, lives in Appomatox County, Va., where Mrs. Jones was born.  Mrs. Jones had made her home with Mrs. Coor-Pender for many years.  She leaves three sons, N.O. Jones, J. Morrison Jones and Charles Peyton Jones, all of Houston, Texas, and three
daughters, Mrs. D.W. Evans of Smithville Texas; Mrs. [?].W. Dorria[?], of Houston, and Mrs. Coor-Pender, of Shreveport.  The absent sons and daughters are expected to arrive this morning.  Mrs. Jones also leaves several grandchildren.  R.O. Coor-Pender, Jr. is at school in in Kemper, [Kemper Military School, Boonville, Mo.] Mo. and will not return home at this time.  Margaret and William [F.?] Coor-Pender are the younger children of Mrs. Coor-Pender.
