Humphrey Hunter

Humphrey Hunter, a native of Ireland who emigrated to America early in life, was among those who early promoted the cause of freedom in Mecklenburg County on May 20, 1775, and afterward took an active part in securing his country's independence. For nearly 38 years he labored as a faithful and assiduous ambassador of Christ, strongly enforcing the necessity of repentance and pointing out the terms of salvation. He died on August 21, 1827, in the 73rd year of his age, remembered as a kind and affectionate parent, a warm and sincere friend, and a persuasive and convincing minister.
