“Notes: Why is George Hunt named as security with Thomas TOTTY regarding the estate of the Orphans of Thomas Davis? What tie did George Hunt have with Thomas TOTTY? Could it have something to do with the widow Mary Davis who married Thomas TOTTY? It has been thought by many TOTTY researchers, that Mary was nee Carter, daughter of Giles & Hannah CARTER who was named in his will as being married to Thomas DAVIS. However some questions as to Mary being a Carter has been voiced due to her age. ANY help on this puzzel would be greatly appreciated! ”
