William Moore Hunt, youngest son of Charles and Lucinda (Jarvis) Hunt, was 
born July 30, 1840, in Wayne County, Ind. He was reared on a farm and educated 
at the common schools and at the Whitewater College, at Centreville. He 
enlisted as a private Feb. 9, 1864, in Company I, One Hundred and Twenty-
fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, First Brigade, First Division, Twenty-third 
Army Corps; was appointed Orderly Sergeant on the organization of the company, 
and afterward commissioned as Lieutenant, and had command of company. He was 
engaged in the battles of Buzzard Roost, Dallas, Resaca, Kennesaw Mountain, 
siege and capture of Atlanta, Nashville, Tenn., and a number of others. He was 
mustered out at Greensboro, N. C., Aug. 31, 1865, when he returned to Wayne 
County, and purchased a farm in Abington Township, where he farmed six years. 
He then removed to the farm where he now resides, and has since followed 
agricultural pursuits. He was married in September, 1866, to Josephine S., 
daughter of Joseph and Patsey (Boyd) Lewis, the former a native of North 
Carolina, and the latter of Kentucky, both early settlers of Wayne County. Mr. 
and Mrs. Hunt have had three children---Lorinda M. died at the age of eleven 
years; Frank J. and Martha L. Mr. Hunt is a charter member of Williamsburg 
Lodge, No. 493, A. F. & A.M. He has filled the chairs of S. W. and Senior 
Deacon, and has served as Master of the lodge for many years. He is a member 
of the Missionary Baptist church. His grandfather, Timothy Hunt, was born in 
North Carolina, of Norman descent. His ancestors were officers in William the 
Conqueror's army, and went from Normandy to England in 1066. Thence their 
descendants came to America as officers in the war of the Revolution. Our 
subject's parents are still living in Wayne County. They reared a family of 
three sons---Benjamin J., Frank T. (deceased) and William M.
