From The Early Hunt Families of Vermont, by Mitchell J. Hunt:
A mysterious John Hunt appears to be the start of a long line of Hunts at Smithfield-Gloucester, RI, in the early 1700s. This John Hunt was the ancestor of a large number of Hunts who appear in Vermont in the early days. His ancestors have not been discovered although there are erroneous speculations. It is possible that he could have been a descendant of Bartholomew (of whose descendants only fragmentary genealogical compilations have been found). He might also have been a descendant of the pioneer Peter Hunt of Rehoboth, MA, reviewed below.
Peter Hunt, abt 1644, Rehoboth, MA. There seems little question but this Peter Hunt was the son of Enoch Hunt, above, christened at Gt. Missenden, ENG, 4 July 1619. The date of his arrival at Rehoboth is not known, possibly coming before 1644 with his father or brother (or is it uncle) Bartholomew. He was among the first settlers and among the most prominent men of Rehoboth during his lifetime: Lt. of the Rehoboth "Train Band" (militia) 1654-1682 and Captain of same 1682-1692; commander of the Train Band in 1675 during King Philip's War and was present at the defeat of King Philip; defender of Rehoboth when the town was attacked and burned 28 March 1676; served 15 years as deputy (Representative) of Rehoboth to the Plymouth General Court (Legislature). (Ref: Bodge's Soldiers in King Phillips War and Shurtleff's Records of the Colony of New Plymouth.) He died in Dec 1692 at Rehoboth, Will dated 19 June 1689, proved 26 Dec 1692 (Bristol, MA, Probate Records). He m. 10 Dec 1645 Elizabeth Smith, dau. of Henry and Judith Smith who came from County Norfolk, ENG. She m. 2d 17 Sept 1695 the Elder James Blake of Dorchester, MA. Peter had 12 children b. between 1646 and 1670 of whom details can be found in Wyman (p. 305, et.al.). The present writer (mjh) has in his possession a huge old hand-written genealogy of the descendants of Peter Hunt, probably 60% or more of which deals with descendants of various Hunt daughters through their husbands of various names. Nothing has been found to indicate that any of Peter Hunt's descendants with the Hunt name were in Vermont, but the Hunt daughters m. into many of the old families of the Rehoboth area (particularly Carpenter, Ide, Wheaton) and many of their descendants were early settlers of Vermont. It is probable that the ancestry of many present-day residents of Vermont can be traced back to Peter Hunt.
At this point it is useful to bring in the mysterious John Hunt, apparent start of the Smithfield-Gloucester, RI, Line of Hunts. Wyman (p. 232) shows him with ancestors unidentified, but in the "Rhode Island Line" and possibly a descendant of the pioneer Bartholomew of Newport, RI. He might also be an unidentified descendant of Peter Hunt of Rehoboth whose descendants intermarried with the Carpenter families, but the descendants of Peter during the appropriate time period appear to be fully accounted for. He might also be a descendant of the pioneer Edmund Hunt of Duxbury, of whose descendants little is known except for the descendants of his son Samuel. There have been some speculative genealogies which place him in the Concord Line of Hunts, but as the son of a man who lived above Boston and on whom there is no record of a wife and family. Subject John had many descendants in Vermont, some among the early settlers.
John Hunt, b. abt 1703, m. 1st at Douglas, MA, in 1732 Elizabeth Darling and m. 2d 6 June 1738 at Smithfield, RI, her sister Keziah Darling. He was admitted a Freeman in 1739. Worcester, MA, deeds show him conveying land in Douglas, MA, to his sons John and Seth in 1773. He died 15 Oct 1793 leaving eight children: Seth, George, Daniel, John (further below), Peter (further below), Keziah, Rhoda, and Hannah.
John Hunt, son of John, above, was b. abt 1745, no date found, m. date not known but abt 1775, Europe Comstock by whom he had 13 children before his death abt 1805. He is generally shown as of Uxbridge, MA, but he and his wife "of Uxbridge" bought land in Lancaster (MA?) in 1796, sold land there together in 1802, and wife Europe, alone, sold land there in 1805, John presumably dying in the interim. His widow Europe m. 2d Capt. Amos Brown of Gloucester, RI, and Danby, VT, who had previously been m. to her sister, and removed to Danby, VT, apparently taking along her youngest son Amos Hunt, b. 1802, who grew up in VT, m. twice and lived variously at Danby, Dorset, and Wells, VT, before removing with 2d wife and a large family to Westmore, VT, where he died.
Peter Hunt, brother of John above and son of John and Keziah Hunt of Uxbridge, was b. abt 1753, m. Rebecca Carpenter and died before his father whose Will of 1790 mentions his grandson Peter Hunt, age under 21 years. The latter was Peter Carpenter Hunt, b. abt 1777, who was shown as "of Pallentine, NY" when he m. 28 April 1798 at Royalston, MA, Patty Hopkins who was b. 6 Nov 1777 at Hollis, NH, dau. of Richard Hopkins, Jr., and Mary Walker, who were m. 16 Dec 1762 at Wilmington, MA. Peter and Patty had a son Hopkins Hunt (later called Peter Hopkins Hunt) b. at Royalston, MA, 6 Jan. 1797, after which the parents removed to Shefford, QUE, where a son Reuben was b. 4 April 1799, and then moved to Ascot, QUE (near Sherbrooke), where a dau. Patty was b. 2 June 1804. They next appear in Waterford, VT, where the births of children as shown (including places) were recorded in Waterford Town Records. Thereafter, they disappear from Vermont records and further wanderings are a mystery though they would appear to have ultimately moved to the area around Lake George and the NY side of Lake Champlain. Another son was John Darling Hunt, b. abt 1810 who subsequently turns up in Orwell and Benson, VT, where he had a large family. Another possible son was Robert Hibbard Hunt, pioneer at Iron Hill, QUE (near Knowlton), who had children who settled in VT, and lived near Reuben Hunt who settled at West Brome, QUE, near his reported place of birth, and also had a large family with children who settled in Vermont. Son Hopkins (later called Peter Hopkins Hunt) lived a long life just across the Vermont border around Whitehall, NY.
