    • Note on Find a Grave:
      about Benjamin Franklin Hunt and his parents Ezekiel and Mary.

      B. Franklin Hunt was born in 1832 in Flemingsburg, Kentucky. In September 1846 the family including Ezekiel, Mary, and their 14 children traveled by covered wagon from Kentucky first to Indiana and then to Polk County, Iowa just Northwest of Des Moines where Ezekiel established a sawmill and a small village which he named Huntsville. All that remains today of the original site is Ridgedale Cemetery where many Hunt family members are interred. [1]
