HUNT.
THE progenitor of the Weymouth line of Hunts, (from whom the Abington line descended,) was ENOCH HUNT, who lived in Titenden, in the parish of Lee, near Wendover, in England. He came to this country at a very early day, with his son Ephraim, and located in Weymouth. After awhile he returned to England, leaving his son, who married a wife, and had several sons. Among these was Thomas, who settled in Boston, married, and had nine children. Among these was Thomas, who settled in Weymouth, and had two wives : first, Elizabeth Reed ; second, Judith Short, by whom he had fifteen children. Among these was Thomas, who married Lydia Burrill, and had five children, viz., Lydia, Thomas, Ebenezer, Elizabeth and Robert.

JENKINS. ,
EDWARD JENKINS, of Scitnate, was one of the Conihassett partners in 1646, and a freeman in 1647. He purchased a part of Edward Forster's lot in 1647, and built his house at the corner of Kent Street, near the bridge, where the house of Capt. Lemuel Webb now stands. He had a lot, also, near where the Methodist Chapel now stands, where his son, Thomas, settled 1698. Edward Jenkins kept an Ordinary many years ; licensed first in 1677. He deceased in 1699. His will gives legacies " To my wife Mary, to son Thomas, to grandson Daniel, 20 acres near Valley Swamp (this is now called the Jenkins' meadow, on the north of Jacob's mill pond), to grandson Edward, to granddaughters Hannah Turner and Mary Bacon, to daughter Mary Cooke, to grand- daughter Mary Jenkins. Item-It is my will that bread and beer be given at my funeral, also that a sermon be preached at my funeral by Jeremiah Cushing, or some other minister whom my executor shall think meet. Also I give to the minister, that shall preach my funeral sermon, twenty shil- lings."
By way of explanation, we remark that Edward Jenkins seems to have belonged to the liberal party of the Puritans.
407
APPENDIX.
The more strict party forbade sermons, and even prayers, at funerals, because the Church of England said prayers at funerals, and the Church of Rome prayed for the dead.
