Thanks to all who have responded to my Thomas Hunt (b. 1580) questions. I am looking forward to learning all I can about him, as well as my Hunt and Underhill ancestors, including Capt. John Underhill. This is my Hunt-Underhill line: 1. Thomas Hunt, b. 1580; married Cicely Paisley, b. 1585 2. Thomas Hunt, b. 1605 West Farms, NY; married Elizabeth Jessop 3. John Hunt, b. 1668 in Providence, RI; married Grace Fowler 4. Mary Hunt, b. 7/22/1692 Westchester, LI, NY; m. Nathaniel Underhill, b. 1690 Nathaniel Underhill was the grandson of John Underhill, b. 1597, who apparently was Capt. John Underhill, who helped the Dutch defeat the Peguots. Nathaniel's daughter Sarah married Elisha Hyatt, and their daughter Sarah Hyatt married David Frost, b. 1743 White Plains, NY. His son, Underhill Frost, had a son Jacob Frost, b. 1797 in Carmel, Putnam County, NY. Jacob's daughter Jane Frost, b. 3/20/1821 married John W. Cuffman, b. 1816 Ithaca, NY. He was my gggggrandfather. That, in a nutshell, is my Hunt-Underhill connection. I had been brick walling for about 2 years, until I discovered the only Cuffman in the LDS database, who was my John W.'s brother. From there, I just kept going back, and back, and back, to everyone's amazement. So, now that I know who they were, I'm looking forward to researching them. I found a good book, "The Musket and the Cross," by Walter Edmonds, who also wrote "Drums Along the Mohawk." It gives a lot of details about the Dutch and English in NY during that time period, and I was thrilled to find both Thomas Hunt and John Underhill mentioned. I'm especially interested in historical details of any of those people. Thanks! Diane Cuffman Ryder, OH
