She is the daughter of David Sherrill and Nancy Woodall Williams. Elleanor married Allen P. Hunt, son of George Washington and Elizabeth Woods Hunt, on August 30, 1866, at the home of her parents. She was the mother of George David (m: Winnie Ann Vickers), Mary Elizabeth (m:George Blackston), and Nancy Adella "Della" (m: Albert Henry Yates). She moved with her husband to the Daviston Community of Tallapoosa County, Alabama and lived out her life there. Her son, G.D. Hunt, is considered the "Grand Old Man" of the Congregational Christian Church. It is said that he married more people, baptized more people, and buried more people than any other member of his denomination. He was also a founder of Southern Union College in Wadley, Alabama. Elleanor died after 1920. She is buried at the Old Vickers Family Cemetery in the Daviston Community of Tallapoosa County, Al. (Her daugter-in-law was a Vickers.) She was preceeded in death by her husband, who died in the early 1900's. He is also buried at this cemetery. Their son placed concrete slabs over their graves, and a close examination will reveal his name and the date poured in fading handwriting.
