Margaret Ann Hunter

Margaret Albin was born circa 1668 in Rogerstown, County Meath, Ireland. She emigrated in 1711 from England to America, living circa 1711 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. She was mentioned in James Albin’s will of December 29, 1720. She died in Newtown Square, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, buried in St. David’s Protestant Episcopal Churchyard, Radnor, Delaware County. Margaret married John Hunter in 1693 in Wicklow, County Meath, Ireland. John Hunter, son of John Hunter, said to have been born 1664 in Medomsley, Northumberland, England, and died April 1734.

According to Colonial families of the United States of America (Vol. 1): “John Hunter . . . upon the accession of James II. of England to the throne, moved to the County of Wicklow, Ireland, and settled at the town of Rothdrum; became an extensive grazier, joined the Protestant Army, under William and Mary, and fought in the Battle of the Boyne, beside his friend Anthony Wayne, the grandfather of General Anthony Wayne of the Continental Army; he and Wayne emigrated to America in 1722, and settled at Easttown Township, Chester (now Delaware) Co., Pa. John Hunter and Anthony Wayne were Vestrymen in 1725 of Radnor Church . . .” “Captain Anthony Wayne . . . at an early age adopted the profession of arms. While a lad, he served under John Churchill, in Holland, and later under the great Duke of Marlborough, with his friend, John Hunter. While in the army of William of Orange, he was in command of a troop of horse at the Battle of the Boyne, in 1690, where he was still associated with John Hunter. At the conclusion of the war, both settled as graziers in the County of Wicklow, Ireland, on land conferred upon them by William. Captain Wayne emigrated to America with his family in 1723, landing at Boston, Massachusetts, and from there made his way to Chester County, Pennsylvania, where his friend, John Hunter, had settled in 1722.”

From the Virginia Albins: “Following their daughter and son-in-law, Mary and William Hill, who had come earlier and settled in Middletown Twp., Captain John Hunter (born 1664) and his wife, Margaret (born 1668), daughter of James and Anne Albin, came to the colonies in 1711, settling in Newtown, Chester (now Delaware) Co., PA. Here he purchased 350 acres and erected a mansion house ‘considered very pretentious in those days.’ According to Joy Steel Williams this was still standing (1958) a short distance back from the Westchester turnpike and a short distance from Newtown Square. He brought with him holster and pistol used in the Battle of the Boyne (1690 County Meath) and a wedding ring, inscribed ‘keep this in remembrance of me, 1693,’ both of which have been preserved in the family. He brought, also, materials and tools for building this house, and his mechanics accompanied him as ‘servants to this country.’ His friend and former army buddy, Anthony Wayne (grandfather of the celebrated Rev. War General) followed in 1722, bringing two of Hunter’s children who had not come with him - William, christened on December 31, 1706, and Martha, christened on October 21, 1708. Probably these two were considered too small to travel on the lengthy sea journey in 1711. There is some elusive evidence that the four Albin children, along with Mrs. Cansey, ‘believed to be an aunt of the Albin children,’ and her three children also accompanied Wayne on this voyage. This does seem quite likely, for Hunter, one of the executors of James Albin’s estate was in the colonies already when James Albin died. Hunter and Wayne were related by marriage, as John Hunter’s sister, Sarah, married William R. Van Leer, son of Samuel and Hannah (Wayne) Van Leer. In the colonies they were both vestrymen in St. David’s Episcopal Church in Radnor, where sermons were preached in the Welsh language. John Hunter died in April 1734, and both he and Margaret are buried at St. David’s Protestant Episcopal Churchyard.” Abstract of John Hunter’s will: (3) Hunter, John. Newtown, yeoman. January 30, 1734. May 19, 1736. B. 4. Provides for wife Margaret. To son George, son John daughters Marth Cole, Ann Baker 5 shillings each. To granddaughter Margaret Baker £20 at 21. To daughter Elizabeth Steel £20. To daughter Mary Hill £20. To daughter Margaret Hunter £30, household goods. To son Peter £50 at 21. To sons William and James, my plantation in Newtown and remainder of personal estate, also executors. Witnesses: Jos. Hawley, Francis Wayne, Wm. Owen, Saml. Cawley.

   Children of Margaret Albin And John Hunter were:

#William Hunter, born between 1706-09, married Hannah Woodward in 1740. From the Virginia Albins: “It has been reported that Capt. William Hunter, born about 1709, also came into Virginia, and that there he married in 1740, Hannah Woodward. He has not been located in Frederick Co., so he also may have moved on southward.” William is said to have been christened on December 31, 1706.

1. Martha Hunter, christened October 21, 1708.
2. Mary Hunter, died May 26, 1760, married (1) William Hill, (2) James Bennett. From the Virginia Albins: “Elizabeth (Albin) Bennett, born about 1713/1714, had married James Bennett of Middletown and Aston, a fuller by trade, whose mill was also on Darby Creek, near the mill of Robert Steel. She died on May 23, 1748 (age 36), leaving three children: Mary, who married Isaac Yarnall (he was disowned for marrying out of unity), Hannah, who married a Grubb, and James Bennett, Jr. She is buried in St. John’s Episcopal Churchyard, Concord Twp. After her death, James Bennett maried Mary (Hunter) Hill, widow of William Hill, and daughter of John and Margaret (Albin) Hunter. He died on May 26, 1760, age 51.”
3. Elizabeth Hunter married (1)Robert Steel, (2) Josiah Harvey, (3) J. Beeson. From the Virginia Albins: “Elizabeth Hunter, daughter of John and Margaret (Albin) Hunter, married 1) Robert Steel, who had a mill on Darby Creek, Chester Co., PA. After Steel’s death (intestate) she married 2) Josiah Harvey and they went ‘to Virginia’ (Frederick Co.?). She is said to have married a third time in 1738 in Virginia to J. Beeson. There was a Beeson family found early in what is now Berkeley Co., WV, but it is understood that they moved on into North Carolina. This may account for the tradition in Beeson family of the Elizabeth Hunter who handed down in the Beeson family two pewter platters. . . .”
