  • Note: Regarding the name of Edward Hunt's wife:

    Cook wrote: "The name of his [Edward Hunt's] wife, not mentioned in his Will of 28 October 1757, has not been recovered for this report. She was certainly not 'Elizabeth, daughter of Jonathan and Hannah (Lawrence) Hazard', as stated in Wyman, Genealogy of Hunt, (1862), page 162 and misquoted in TE, page 145 [Cooley, Trenton and Ewing, Mercer Co., N.J., 1883], both of which have now been corrected in TAG 26, pages 1-7."
