Mr.
Littleton HUNT
DEATH BY DROWNING.--We are
informed that on the night of the 12th inst., Mr.
Littleton Hunt, of
Gwinnett county, was found dead in the Apalachie in that county,
supposed to have been drowned by the horse on which he was
riding getting into deep water. Mr. Hunt is said to have been about
107 years old. He was a soldier of the revolution, serving in that
war five years; was severely wounded at the battle of Eutaw Springs;
fought at the battle of Guilford, and performed about twelve months
duty in the neighborhood of Savannah. A brave man, in all
probability, never drew a sword in defence of his country. He was a
native of Virginia, but had been for the last 20 years a citizen of
Gwinnett county. -- Benner.
