Greetings,

It's me again--the one who is possibly your cousin. I have been researching the Gunter family surname for several years now. During that time I have found out a lot of information, but not enough. I still have a lot of questions. I'm one of those people with an "inquiring mind."

This study is not just about my own family line of Gunters, but others as well--especially those who traveled and settled in the south and southwestern states--Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Some of my many questions include the following:

• 1. How did my grandma, Icye Dora Gunter, meet the man she married, Hiram Hall?
  
• 2. Who is Buzzee Krunture--the one listed on the census as living with the Gilbert Gunter household? Could this person have been either a sibling or child of Morris Krumptum. People didn't spell too good in those days. Morris was Gilbert's second wife, but who was Buzzee? Their names are spelled in a similar manner. They both start with Kru.
  
• 3. What are Eula and Effie Gunter's birthdates?
• 4. Did any of the Martin family move to Texas also? The Martin's are the family of Frasure Martin, first wife of Gilbert Gunter.
• 5. Do the Gunters and Martins really have Indian blood? If so, what tribe are they and has it been documented? I heard that they were Cherokee. Are they registered?
• 6. Does anyone know anything about the Duncan or Boaz families?
• 7. I believe the Gunters traveled as a group from Georgia to Texas in the late 1890's. What cousins and siblings traveled with Gilbert, Albert, and Fannie?
• 10. Can anyone tell me anything about the different places where the Gunter family lived in Lamar County, Texas? I have records that Gunters lived in Emberson, Powderly, Post Oak, Whiteright, Caviness, and Paris. These places are all in Lamar County, Texas.
  

These particular questions apply specifically to my line of Gunters, but don't let that stop you from communicating your Gunter information. I am collecting as much Gunter information as I can.

I have many, many questions and I need your help. I want to piece our surname history together. I can't do it alone. My father, his brother, and his sisters are deceased. They are the only ones I know who could have answered some questions for me. Since they are gone, I have to rely on information passed on to me from other people and, of course, any research I do at the library, the court house, and on the internet.

Enclosed with this letter is a questionnaire about the Gunter family migration. Please fill it out and return it as soon as possible. I would like to see a big response to this questionaire.

Possibly Your Cousin,

Bette Hall Nevarez
