My grandfather was Garret Gunter, his first wife was Pearle Rabb. They lived in Jackson County, She died in Washington State, he, as far as I know, in Jackson County. His second wife, Bertie Parker Gunter, just passed away recently in NC. I have some information on Garret and his ancestors but very little. Anyone out there related to this line of Gunters? I am trying to find out if the Gunter line came from Germany or Norway or?

Bill, I saw your query online. I have been tracing Gunters for quite sometime. I have not found an early German connection. Instead, I have found most of those who came to Virginia during 1700's to be of British descent.

What caught my eye about your posting was the Parker Gunter name. I have been working on making sense of the connection between the Parkers and Gunters for a long time. In WV, my best friend was my cousin. She was a Parker, my mother a Gunter. I have even followed the story of a free Black from Accomack County VA named Parker Gunter who names a son the same. Apparently, the Parkers and Gunters knew each other in England as they both witness a will for a grandaughter. I think that the Parkers, Gunters, and Savages held large land holdings on the Virginia neck--now Accomack County. I don't know if any of this helps you, but I would like to correspond with you.

Good evening, Your post is relatively old but I hope it gets to you. I am a granddaughter of Robert Lee Gunter, son of Darcus Estes, and I believe that your grandfather was Robert Lee's son by a marriage to Elizabeth Jones. My mother, Florence was Robert's youngest child by Mattie Green.

Before I get carried away, please reply to lotusgirl58@yahoo.com to verify that this is the correct person.
