  • Notes 
    • Info on Hannes Hunsaker and family from records of Robert Harold Hunsaker copied from LDS microfilm, and "History of Abraham Hunsaker and His Family", quoted below:

      "John Hunsaker was born May 22, 1728 in Switzerland and was only three years old when his family landed at Philadelphia. The Hunsakers settled first at Germantown, Pa.; it is not known how long they stayed there but by May 15, 1750 when John married Magdalena Birg, the family had located in Lancaster Co., Pa. Magdalena was b. Jan. 3, 1732 in Pa., a daughter of Barbara Miller and Nicholas Birg.

      John and Magdalena had 13 children, all b. in Lancaster Co.

      By 1790 some members of the family were in various counties of Kentucky. John and Magdalena, with some of their sons and daughters, made their home in Muhlenburg County. Here Magdalena died in 1706, about 14 years before the Hunsakers migrated in to southern Illinois, where they were led by 83-year-old John. The place where the families settled was later known as Jonesboro, Union Co., Ill; John Hunsaker was buried in the Dunkard graveyard there in 1815."
