- [S697] Ancestry.com transcribed the son as I. L. Hunt so I orgiinally thought this was Iaaac. However on closer inspection the first letter matches exactly the S in Son and Sally. The second letter does appear to be an L but rather hard to read. So I now conclude that this is Spencer rather than Isaac. Further evidence is tha age 29 which would be correct for Spencer, but Isaac would have been 40. Also Spencer was a cabinet maker.
