HUNTON, Eppa, soldier, born in Fauquier county, Virginia, 23 September, 1823. His early education was limited. He studied and practised law, and was commonwealth attorney for Prince William county from 1849 till 1862. He was elected to the Virginia convention of 1861, and after serving through its first session entered the Confederate army as colonel of the 8th Virginia infantry. After the battle of Gettysburg he was promoted and served through the rest of the war as brigadier-general. He was captured at Sailor's Creek, 6 April, 1865, and imprisoned in Port Warren, but was released in July, 1865. General Hunton was elected a representative to congress as a Democrat in 1873, and re-elected to the three succeeding congresses. He was a member of the joint committee that formed the electoral bill in the 44th congress, and one of the electoral commission of 1876-'7.
