JESSE J. HUNGATE, a native of Mercer County, Ky., was born December 22,
1817.  Jehu Hungate, his father, was born March 31, 1791 and was a soldier
of the war of 1812.  February 1, 1816, he married Annie De Pauw, a sister of
Gen. John De Pauw, appropriate mention of whom is made elsewhere in this
volume, and in 1819, together with his family, emigrated to Washington
County, Ind., and engaged in clearing and farming.  He became an active and
influential member of the community, and in 1852 was appointed by Gov.
Wright to the Associate Judgeship of Washington County.  His first wife
dying in 1842, Mr. Hungate selected Fanny Coffin for his second wife, and
this lady yet survives him.  He died November 21, 1855, a member of long
standing in the Missionary Baptist Church.  The family born to Jehu and

Salem in 1853, and for twelve years carried on merchandising.  He is now
looking after his property, consisting of 638 acres of land, the "Hungate
House" and an excellent livery outfit.  In politics he is a Republican, and
for many years has been a member of the Baptist church.
