Hunt died in Union Co. ca 1811. He had no children of his own. He married the Widow Winter who was apparently from the Georgetown area of S. C.. Thomas B. Hunt left a lengthy will, dated 1802, in which he gave the bulk of his large estate to his wife and her two daughters, his step-daughters. He also mentioned several brothers and a sister of his. After his death the brothers brought suit in Equity Court for the settlement of his estate - this is the case referred to in the above entry. One of his step-daughters married John Rochell, the other married William Wallace. There is a letter in the archives of Salem Academy, the Moravian school in Winston-Salem, N. C. (Old Salem), from Thomas B. Hunt in which he warns the school authorities that his step-daughter might attempt to elope with John Rochell. She did marry him and by this term of Equity Court had died, therefore, John Rochell's appointment as guardian of his minor children, since they were to inherit a considerable estate in right of their mother from the estate of Thomas B. Hunt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Married on Tuesday evening, the 18th ult., by Rev. S.
