Updated Feb 7, 2016 with information from sources listed in Notes below. -- Albert G. Hunter was born c. 1803 in Pennsylvania.1 He was a partner with John P. Hunter (presumably his younger brother) as A.G. & J.P. Hunter, active in Philadelphia, PA, from about 1829 until his death in 1867. John was apparently his heir as Albert's only child, Martha Emily, died as an infant. 2 John continued the firm, and by 1880 it was known as J.P. Hunter & Sons.3 NOTES: 1) Philadelphia City Death Certificate for Albert G. Hunter 2) ibid. 3) John Speller, Pipe Chat, February 1, 2008 (see next paragraph below)
