Note: Records in Berkeley County Court House show the birth of James and W. S. J. H. on the same date as twins. They also state the death of W. S. J. H. in April. In reality, James and Eugene Hunter were twins and James is the one who died. Hunter had to correct the records prior to filling for Social Security. James was listed on the census report in error.

Hunter's family were the only group to consistently use the "W" in his name. He lived most of his life in White Hall, Virginia.
