“John Gunter, b. c1730, m. Amy, dau/o John (Sr)/Elizabeth Tillotson of
Chesterfield Co., VA, where John Gunter appeared in John Tillotson's land
records in the 1750's and 1760's. John Tillotson gifted use of a portion
of his land to John Gunter & his wife, Amy Gunter "my daughter," in
Chesterfield Co., 1757. The land, however, was the legal property of "the
furst daughter of her body by the said John Gunter...." Amy Gunter was not
listed in the will of her father, John Tillotson, written in 1766
Chesterfield Co.; however, her son Joel Gunter (underaged) was the
recipient of gifts as John Tillotson's grandson: gifts under care of
Thomas, a son of John Tillotson, Sr.” Perhaps because Amy had died in 1766.
