This started my curiosity:) I found a will of John Hunt naming his Mother Mourning Hicks..Ralph Hunt and Dina Anderson had Sarah (mine) and Memucan and also John who married Mourning. He died and she remarried William Hicks.
In her son's will he names Martha Minor..so I started looking..one of the executors of his will is Randall Minor..husband of Martha. His father John Minor and mother Mary "Polly" Hampton had Polly married Lewis Bledsoe...Lazarus married Polly Jones..Jinsey married Benjamin Williams..Anna Married John Wood..Father of Lewis Bledsoe, John and mother Sarah Moore. The will is proved Aug Court 1818..Granville co Here is a posting of Genforum by Jack Goins.

Hezekiah Minor is named Hezekiah Minor, Miner, in most known records including the 1801 Will of John Going in Henry County, Va.,John Cox Jr was a witness to this will, according to tax list John Cox Sr was a close neighbor to John Going, Hezekiah Minor was surety in the marriage of Semion Going and Keziah Tabb, Sept 2, 1801, all recorded in Henry County, Va.,Another possibility is John Minter may have been Miner, because there is a suggested relationship to a Prudence Williams who included Hezekiah son Zachariah in her Will written 26 April 1822 in Lee county, Va. where Hezekiah was enumerated on the 1820 Federal Census.

Minter family genealogy is showing John Minter as the father of Hezekiah Minor who married Elizabeth Goins. Son Zachariah married Agatha Sizemore. They are in the Lee co va 1820 census as mulattoes.
Ok, I show John Minor and Elizabeth Cosby parents of John who married Mary Hampton.. Brother Joseph married Edith Cox. Father John Cox and Mary Coleman. John Cox in Henry co Va. Back to John Minter..he married Susannah Williams..and re: a Phoebe Williams names son of Hezekiah Minor in his will. one of John Minter's sisters, Mary Minter marries Charles Cosby.
Are these people related? The Minter and Minor Between Va., Lunenburg and Henry co and Granville co NC?
