Hunter - Supervisors, Town Clerks and Justices of the Peace
1813-1883

From Beers, History of Greene County. Retyped by Annette Campbell.

Town Meetings:  Annual and special town meetings in this town have been held at the residences of its citizens. The places of meeting were generally chosen for their central location, or in early times, because of their being on one of the few and imperfectly built roads. Old Medford and Jamaica were no strangers to the jugs usually to be seen in prominent positions, and were as much of a factor in electing the proper candidate as any other side issue. Three days election was the old custom, and a general good and neighborly occasion was had. Party lines were not adhered to at first in electing town officers, but responsible and capable men were selected from both parties for township committees, officers, and other positions.  In the earlier days the ladies often congregated in the house, and there being usually but one or two rooms, they participated more or less in the affair---certainly in the preparation of the meals.
 
Since the organization of the town, in 1813, town meetings have been held in the following places: in 1813 in the small house of Daniel Bloomer: 1814 and 1815 at William Shaw's; 1816, 1818, 1825-1827 at Sumner Palmenter's; 1817 at George Walton's; 1819, 1822 at William Haines'; 1820-1823 at Edwards' New York Tannery; 1824 at John Beach's; 1828-1833 at Harlow Perkins'; 1833-1839, 1841-1843 at Ezra B. Gay's; 1840, 1843, 1845-1850 at Robert R. Kerr's; 1844 at Egbert Vosburgh's; 1850 at William Anthony's.
