That's the guy I'm researching -- my sixth-great-grandfather. His death I know about. His birth is the mystery. Lots of mis-information about him is out there, based on guesses and prior research that turned out to be wrong. Including on my own personal Web site -- I speculated about a William born in Berkshire, but more recent research has shown he stayed in England. http://dekester.home.mindspring.com/huntbill.htm The "real" William enlisted in the army, was stationed in Ireland, was sent to New York in 1700, joined a mutiny, plead guilty, was pardoned and sent to his new unit in Albany, where he deserted soon thereafter. He went to Massachusetts, married, had two children, and died in 1707. The rest, as they say, is history. I've been working for several decades trying to run down his origin. The two from Surrey I mentioned in my initial post are the most likely candidates known at this time. I can't be certain it's either of them, but trying to run them down is the next logical step.
