• Notes

  Abigail Hunt remains one of those challenges. According to the data at St. Paul's Abigail is the daughter of Lt. Col. Benjamin Hunt. Her sister Theodosia, married Lancaster Underhill. Both Abigail and Theodosia named one of the children Benjamin. Abigail named one of her sons, my ancestor Lancaster Underhill Odell, after her sister's husband. The Rev. Bolton also indicated that Theodosia was the daughter of Lt. Col. Benjamin Hunt. This information is included in the Underhill genealogy. The "New York Genealogical and Biographical Record", dated April 1912, published an article by A. W. Savary entitled "Lieutenant-Colonel Benjamin Hunt. The Loyalist. His Ancestry and Descendants." In the said article Savary questions the accuracy of Rev. Bolton's conclusion and speculates that these two women descend from another Benjamin Hunt. Received from Peter J. Valentine.
