Catherine: I am interested in your Benjamin Hunt of CT, born ca 1795.. I am trying to place a Ruth Hunt in a MA, CT, or RI family. She was born ca 1760/61. I have her marriage in Berkshire Co. MA in 1786 (to Eseck Brown). The name Benjamin was used for their first grandchild. I am wondering if the name Benjamin came from Ruth Hunt's side of the family, as I don't see it used elsewhere. Do you have any other information on your Hunt family in CT? Mine have no connection to NC. Thanks. Nancy Sicotte
