Quite by accident we ran across the will in 1757 of Edward Hunt of Huntingdon County. It listed the various sons and daughters of Edward. One of them was Angelica. In the distribution of the property, it stated that Angelica's share was signed on her behalf of her husband Ebenezer Earl. We are seeking information about this Ebenezer Earl of this time frame to see if he is a direct line grandfather of ours. The only thing we have known about him until this time is that his wife was "widow" in the will. His children were Edward (could it be after her father), James (could this be after her brother, Ebenezer, after him and Martha (We don't know where she came from yet, but her name continues down our line. If you have anything concerning Angelica Hunt and her Ebenezer Earl, Please let me know. Judy Gabbies1@aol.com

Iris- it isn't all that easy. I have fifty Moses but none with a wife Dodge. WYMAN shows only two or three Dodges-all women marrying HUNT men. I do Have a Hannah Dodge but it doesn't fit. This could be a lead. This is not a comprehensive search but I am wuilling to make one if you can give me a little information:: Where are we talking about , New England, Ohio or the South etc.? How about some rough dates. There are nine Chapters in WYMAN--I need a clue as to the geography. then I can give you a positive answer about WYMAN. Do you know when he applied for the pension? Where was he living at the time? Sandy in Lubbock TX

Sandy or somebody, I have a Revolutionary War Pension application for Moses Hunt, wife Ruth Hannah Dodge, children Hannah, Silena, Sally, Samuel, Appleton, Anna, Moses, Nathan and Isabel.

Could you give a few specifics on this Susanna? Where in NY was she born if you know and where did they settle in MI? Do you know how early they were in MI? Some of my Hunts came from Columbia Co thru Wayne Co NY and over the lakes to Kalamazoo by 1870 and then Kalkaska Co MI - got into the lumbering business.

Does anyone have WILLIAM OF CONCORD line in their computer? I have it in WYMAN but do not have it punched into the machine. Sandy Hunt in Lubbock

I am interested in finding the parents of Susanna Hunt. I have that she was born about 1817 in New York and died 13 Jan. 1899 in Michigan. She married Peter Moshier (1812-1895).

Well Leslie-you would do much better in New Hampshire. I believe you are looking for the following::: William of Concord 1605 Nehemiah 1617 John3 (two Johns died early) 1673 Simon 1704 Ephraim 1736 Hephzibah b. 1761 m. Page. I have no date or details.. You can send all that to me if you will. This is the Concord line of Hunts and is well explained in detail in WYMAN beginning on page 23. William came from England and had a couple of wives. Our archives have a lot of William of Concord material. However you might let me know what you want and I will give you my recommendation as to how to get it. Of course the best way is to get your hands on a copy of WYMAN -1862. Reprints are available at Higginsons in Salem MA. for about $50. (hard bound exact copies of the original if they have any left.) Often copies are available in large libraries. The correct name for the book is 'Genealogy of the Name and Family of Hunt" compiled by T. B. Wyman, Jr pub. in 1863 and reprinted by Garnier and Co. of Charleston SC in 1969. Pertinent pages can be photocopied. Let me know what you need. Merry Christmas.

Hi Lisa I've just subscribed to the Hunt list in hopes of tracking down my Hunts that married into my Pages. Hepzibah Hunt married Nathan Page (b. March 3, 1764 m. bef. 1786, died April 19, 1836 in Jackson, Maine.) The only thing I have on Hepzibah is the names of her father and grandfathers. Hepzibah's father was Ephraim, his father Deacon Simon Hunt, then John Hunt, Nehemiah , and lastly William. Just estimating a 20 to 25 yr. span between generations, it looks to me like William must have been born around 1620 or so. So possibly he is the first into the country. I noticed on the census for Maine in 1790 there is an Ephraim Hunt. This could possibly be Hepzibah's father... With this little information, what would you suggest for trying to track down this line? ANY help would be much appreciated!!! Leslie Hiatt
