Biography
Alexander Hunter was probably born before 1700 in Scotland.
He emigrated to Pennsylvania about 1730, settling temporarily in the "Forks of the Delaware" above where Easton is now. He probably met and married his wife, Elizabeth Steele there.
He removed to Virginia by April 1754, where he bought and sold land in Albemarle and Bedford Counties (now mainly Appomattox).
He was purchasing land in Rowan County, North Carolina (now Rockingham) by 1758, and sold it by 1764.

From Marvin Hunter's Book
- According to his nephew, Col. James Martin, the Hunters came to County Antrim from Scotland, then Alexander, John, and Jane (James' mother) crossed the ocean (leaving a sister behind) to Newcastle, Delaware. They proceeded up the Delaware to where the Martins were living in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Alexander eventually settled about six miles above where Easton, Pennsylvania is now in "the Forks of the Delaware" (Bucks County, then Northampton after 1752). The place was known as "Hunter's Settlement" until Mount Bethel Township was organized in 1746 (Alexander signed the petition on July 8th that year supporting its establishment).[4] He was later appointed at the Northampton County December 1753 Court term as one of three men to adjust a lawsuit involving a man named James Martin. The committee completed their work by March 16, 1754. There is no record of Alexander Hunter purchasing or selling land in Northampton or Bucks Counties. Many of the Scots-Irish had settled beyond where the Penns were actively selling land, and refused to leave when they later tried to sell it to them or others.
- Rev. David Brainerd's diary states the following:
- " On May 13, 1743, I arrived at a place called by the Indians "Sakauwatung" within the forks of the Delaware ... the meaning of this Indian name is 'the mouth of a creek, where someone resides.' "
- " On May 13, 1743, I arrived at a place called by the Indians "Sakauwatung" within the forks of the Delaware ... the meaning of this Indian name is 'the mouth of a creek, where someone resides.' "
- David's brother, Rev. John Brainerd, visited Alexander Hunter's on October 7-10th, 1749 and again on the 18th.
- This creek is now called 'Allegheny Creek.' It was here where Alexander Hunter lived, and he had a farm of three hundred acres of land, and a ferry across the Delaware River. A plat from 1753 shows the ferry about five miles above Easton.
- In 1747, French and Spanish privateers raided the Lower Delaware Valley[5], and among the units raised for defense was Capt. Alexander Hunter of the Delaware Forks (Associator's Regiment of Bucks County in 1747 and 1748). By 1755, conflict with the Indians became more regular, and many of the Scots-Irish moved southwest into Virginia.[6]

James Martin, the Hunters came to County Antrim from Scotland, then Alexander, John, and Jane (James' mother) crossed the ocean (leaving a sister behind) to Newcastle, Delaware.

From Davis' Bucks County History
- MOUNT BETHEL. -Alexander Hunter, a Presbyterian from the north of Ireland, arrived in the Forks of Delaware with about 30 families in 1730. He took up 300 acres of land on the North Branch, near the mouth of Hunter's Creek (called Allegheny Creek by some), where he established a ferry. "Hunter's settlement," as then called, was planted at three points, near Martin's Creek (probably then called Hunter's Creek); at Richmond, on the road from Easton to the Water Gap, and at Williamsburg, on the same road. These locations were all in Mount Bethel township, afterward divided into Upper and Lower Mount Bethel, which names they still bear. Hunter became an influential man in the "Forks," and was appointed justice of the peace in 1748. A Presbyterian church was probably built in Mount Bethel as early as 1747, and the present congregation of that name is the child of the Bethel church founded by Brainard, the Indian missionary. Near Hunter's settlement, was the Indian village of Sockhamvotung, where David Brainard often preached, and where he built a cabin in 1744.[7]

Research Notes
Vital Statistics
Birth
An unsourced, alternate birth of after 1706 in Province of South Carolina was previously (merged) listed.
Marriage
An unsourced, alternate marriage of 13 September 1762 in Easton, Pennsylvania was previously (merged) listed. This marriage date has been attributed to their son James Hunter (1740-1821). See Disputed Origins for futher discussion of this conflation.
Parents
Unsourced, alternate parents William and Elizabeth Cunningham Hunter were previously (merged) listed. See Disputed Origins for discussion of theories as to his parents, and discussion of William and Elizabeth.
Disputed Origins
Proposed as a child of James and Isabella (Currie) Hunter, but proof is lacking. However there is a parish record from Duns, Berwickshire, Scotland reporting a birth date of October 30, 1698 for Alexander, son of James and Isabell Hunter.[25] These records have a daughter "Janet Hunter" instead of "Jane" born in 1702, and John is absent.
It is also doubtful that this Alexander is the son of William and Elizabeth (Sempill) Hunter. Alexander is also not the son of William and Elizabeth (Cunningham) Hunter. "Trees" featuring Alexander as the son of either couple consistently omit Jane as a daughter. Some of these poorly researched "trees" erroneously give September 13, 1762 as the marriage date for Alexander and Elizabeth Steele. However this is also given as the marriage date for their son James to Mary McFarland in Bedford County, Virginia (although it's missing from county records).[26][27] It was likely through transcription or data entry error that this 1762 marriage date appears for Alexander and Elizabeth. It would also suggest that Alexander had an earlier wife who was the mother of his children since the date is only about six years before he passed away.
There is also a family history that says John, Alexander, and Jane's father's name was Alexander Hunter, and there are "records" in Tulliallan, Perth, Scotland.[28]

Land Price Disparity
Marvin Hunter's book recounted the experience of Scots-Irish squatters living in the Forks of the Delaware being confronted with the offer from the Penns to purchase the land upon which they resided at a dear price.
The set price per 100 acres sold by the Penns from 1730 until 1776 was £15/10s Sterling.[29][30]
1 pound = 20 shillings (s) = 240 pence (d), or 1s = 12d
The Virginia pound was said to be equal to 9s Sterling, or £0.45 Sterling.[31]William Still sold 1060 acres to Alexander for £60-Va or £27 Sterling, a rate of £2/10s/11-1/2d per 100 acres. When Alexander bought 620 acres from Robert Jones in Rowan, North Carolina in 1758, he paid £52-Va or £23/8s Sterling, a rate of £3/15s/6d per 100 acres. These rates were far below what the Penns charged per acre.

I have added the parents theory to the research notes of Alexander Hunter (bef.1700-bef.1768) so it is not lost. Note they are also discussed in the Disputed Origins research note of that profile.
