Since my last message I have found that the S. probably stands for Sorrell (a family name) and her parents were probably Robert Gray Briggs and Elizabeth Sorrell Earle.I have not confirmed this yet.She would have been married to James Hunter at the time of your deed and my guess would be that the land may have been her father's????In a journal of her grandson's he talks about her parents dying when she was young and the children moved in with an uncle George Washington Earle.Elizabeth Sorrell Earle married a William Hannon after Robert Gray Briggs.I am not sure if he died or it was divorce.I have nothing on the Briggs at this point.If you have any info it would greatly appreciated.Elizabeth's sister was Thomasine Earle Briggs.
