HUNTER, Andrew Veteran Coal Valley Feb 28, 1864 Killed by mob, Feb 11,1866 (Mobile, Alabama) (son of Elliott & Catherine WilliamsHunter--Joanna Hunter's brother, wife of Andrew Park)
HUNTER, Andrew Private Coal Valley Sep 18, 1861 Re-enlisted as Veteran(same as above)
Army of SW Missouri: October 1861 - June 1863
Army of the Frontier: September 1862 - June 1863
Army of the Tennessee: June 1863 - August 1863
Department of the Gulf: August 1863 - December 1864
Military Division West Mississippi: December 1864 - July 1865
Department of Texas: July 1865 - May 1866
NOTE: ?A? company was in Mobile, Alabama until July 1865 and then theywere in Texas until May1866. Andrew?s death then possibly occurred inTexas instead of Alabama, but without an actual military record of thedeath it is uncertain.
Edna Park Waller, aewaller@bellsouth.net, had Andrew Hunter as dyingin Mobile, Alabama, but from the general record, Andrew must haveactually died in Houston, Texas after Robert Griffin died in Mobile,Alabama. Without a military record that states that's where heactually died though either place may be right.
What happened about the business with the crowd to cause his death?Interesting and it doesn't sound like a battle situation. It lookslike Company "A" Veterans were in Houston, Texas doing guard duty fromJuly 17, 1865-May 1866. Must be something that happened with therailroad maybe. Well, anyhow, it's interesting.

Chapter III., page 147 Excerpt: "The early settlers who came into whatis now Mercer County, were largely Irish, and mainly members of thePresbyterian Church. They were intelligent, courageous, industriouspeople, who were desirous of establishing homes for themselves in thenew country just opened up to be occupied by the white race. Theycame, the majority of them, from Westmoreland, Washington, Fayette andAllegheny, where they located after wearisome journeys from the Eastacross the Allegheny Mountains. Some, it is true, came direct fromIreland and the eastern counties of the State, but the line of travelbrought them by way of the forks of the Ohio. As a rule thesepioneers reared large families, and were noted for their longevity."

The former was born November 13, 1761, and the later in April, 1768,and they were married in County Tyrone, Ireland, October 2, 1786.They left their native county for America June 16, 1788, and arrivedat Philadelphia August 22 following. They remained there till August,1790, and then removed to Cumberland County, Penn., and in November,1793, to Fayette County. Here they lived till April, 1812, when theycame to Mercer County and settled on a tract of 400 acres of land inWest Salem Township, still principally owned by their descendants.Alexander Hunter was a pioneer surveyor of Mercer County and a man offine education and extensive knowledge. He was the principal surveyorof this locality from 1812 up to his death, and devoted nearly hisentire attention to that profession. He reared a family of ninechildren: Jane, who married Thomas Gilliland, and remained behind inFayette County; James, Matthew, Betty, who married James Mossman, andat his death Robert Brion, and subsequently David Parker; Peggy, whobecame the wife of John Mossman; Ebby, who married Hugh Mossman;Alexander, Hiram and Elliott, all of whom are dead except Hiram, aresident of Wisconsin.
