HUNT This occupation surname which is of ancient Anglo-Saxon origin and signifies hunter is found in the annals of New England before the expira- tion of a score of years after the landing of the "Mayflower" at Plymouth. Edmund Hunt was of Duxbury as early as 1637; Robert, Charlestown, 1638, an original proprietor of Sudbury ; and Bartholomew was of Dover, 1640. The number of immigrant ancestors was large and the number of their progeny very great. The Hunts have been and still are an energetic, industrious and reliable race, and their record is excellent. There are over three hundred entries of enlistments in the revolutionary records of Massachusetts under this name, and in local affairs, wherever set- tled, the Hunts have been people whose influ- ence was appreciably and properly exerted.


(I) Deacon Jonathan Hunt, born 1637, a maltster by occupation, moved from Connecti- cut to Northampton, Massachusetts, about 1660, and was made a freeman of the colony 1662; was deacon from 1680 to 1690, and was representative to the general court, 1690. He died September 29, 1691, aged fifty-four. His father was John Hunt ( as near as can be as- certained) and his mother was Mary, the daughter of John Webster, chosen, 1856, the fifth governor of Connecticut; whose will, made June 25, 1659, named grandchildren Jonathan and Mary Hunt. Governor Web- ster was previously of Salem, where his daughter was a member of the church ; and he moved from Connecticut to Hadley with his wife Agnes, and died April 5, 1661. Jona- than Hunt married, September 3, 1662, Clem- ence Hosmer, of Hatfield. In 1694 she be- came the second wife of John Smith, of Mil- ford, Connecticut, who died 1704. The chil- dren of Jonathan and Clemence were : Thomas, Jonathan (died young), Jonathan, John, Hannah, Clemence, Ebenezer (died young), Ebenezer, Mary, Sarah and Samuel. (II) Jonathan (2), third child of Jonathan (I) and Clemence (Hosmer) Hunt, was born January 20, 1665, at Northampton, and died July 1, 1738. He made his will January 4. 1735, which was probated in August, 1738. He

married Martha Williams, sixth daughter of Samuel and Theoda (Park) Williams, of Pomfret. She was born May 19, 1671, and died March 21, 1751. Their children were : Theoda, Jonathan, Martha Elizabeth, Samuel, Mary, Joseph and John.


(III) Captain Samuel, second son of Jona- than (2) and Martha ( Williams) Hunt, was born in 1703, and died February 28, 1770. He was a substantial man and possessed fine busi- ness ability. Twenty-five conveyances of land to him are cited by the genealogist. He was the father of Governor Jonathan Hunt. He resided and died in Northfield. A horizontal monument bears this inscription: "In mem- ory of Capt. Samuel Hunt, who died ve(r) y suddenly of an apoplectick fit, Feb. 28th, A.D. 1770, in the 67th year of his age." He mar- ried Ann Ellsworth, who was born April 27, 1705, daughter of John and Esther Ellsworth, of Windsor, Connecticut. Near her husband's monument stands an upright marble slab on which is inscribed : "Madam Anna Hunt Relict of the late Capt. Samuel Hunt Ob May 6, 1794 Aetat 90." Their children were : Samuel, Anne, Jonathan, Elisha, Arad, Sarah and Martha.


(IV) Elisha, third son of Captain Samuel and Ann ( Ellsworth) Hunt, was born Decem- ber 22, 1740, and died November 27, 1810. He lived in Northfield. He married, October 24, 1771, Mary Lyman, daughter of Aaron and Unice (Dwight) Allen, who was born November 12, 1745. Their children were : Samuel, Mary, Ellsworth, Martha, Frederick, Elisha, Sally and Jonathan.


(V) Ellsworth, second son of Elisha and Mary (Lyman) Hunt, was born in North- field, November 5, 1775, and died 1823. He married, December 21, 1797, Electa Allen, daughter of Zebulon and Freedom (Cooley) Allen, a sister of Hon. S. C. Allen, who was a member of congress sixteen years in succes- sion. She was born February, 1775, and died March 16, 1825. They had two children : Frederick Ellsworth and Mary.


(VI) Frederick Ellsworth, only son of Ells- worth and Electa ( Allen) Hunt, was born in Northfield, Massachusetts, April 20, 1803, and died in Louisiana, 1840. He resided in Derry, New Hampshire, and was a merchant. He married, October 1, 1825, Eliza Kilburn Smith, a native of Gloucester, Massachusetts, born September 3, 1802, who died November 22, 1840. She was daughter of Captain Na- thaniel and Anna (Kinsman) Smith, of Gloucester, Massachusetts. (See Smith,


VII.) They had five children : I. Anna


Electa, born October 23, 1826, died March 5, 1855. 2. George Smith, born February 8, 1829. 3. Enoch Ordway, born November 12, 1831, died December 24, 1831. 4 Abigail Smith, born February 19, 1833, died Decem- ber 4, 1841. 5. Susan Eliza, born January II, 1839, married Albert H. Breed, of Lynn, Sep- tember 2, 1879.


(VII) George Smith, eldest son of Fred- erick E. and Eliza K. (Smith) Hunt, was born February 8, 1829, and died in Portland, Maine, March 9, 1897. After the death of his father and mother in the fall of 1839, he went to Portland on account of the loss of his pa- rents, became a member of the family of his relative, William Allen, and so remained for twenty-one years. Until at the age of eigh- teen he attended the grammar and high schools of Portland, at which time, without pecuniary aid from others, he started out for himself. For five years he was a clerk in a jobbing fruit store. In 1853 he became a clerk for P. F. Varnum, a jobber of flour and grain, and remained four years in that employ. In 1857 he spent two months on the Island of Cuba, where he formed an extensive business acquaintance and entered into arrangement with several Cuban merchants to export vari- ous American products. In May he returned with a large importation of cigars, and made his trip a profitable one and of future interest. He at once opened an office on Commercial street and commenced a trade with Cuba, ex- porting lumber and general merchandise, and receiving sugar and molasses. In that year a heavy financial crisis came upon the busi- ness men in this country ; yet so well were his plans laid, and so judicious was his judgment, that his first year's extensive business was car- ried through safely, but with little profit. A second and a third visit to Cuba in 1859-60, gave him increased opportunities for an ex- tensive business, which ranked him among the most enterprising, active, and successful busi- ness men of Portland. In 1859 he first inter- ested himself in shipping. and he subsequently had interests in a large number of vessels be- longing to the district of Portland. In 1874 he associated with himself in business two for- mer clerks, Joseph P. Thompson and Fred- erick E. Allen, and the new firm took the style of George S. Hunt & Company. Mr. Hunt was interested in many local enterprises, and was ever prompt to render aid and counsel in their management. He was actively identified with the sugar business for many years, being agent of the Eagle sugar refinery from 1871 until it ceased doing business. He was one


1400

of the original stockholders of the Forest City Sugar Refining Company, of which he was for twelve years treasurer and business manager. He was also one of the pioneers in the beet sugar enterprise, being president of the com- pany. He was president of the Central Wharf Corporation, a director in the Portland Trust Company, and in other local corporations. In January, 1865, he was elected director in the Merchants' National Bank, and in 1875 he be- came its vice-president. He succeeded to the office of president in May, 1888, and filled that office until his death. He was well and favor- ably known as a financier, and none of his associates were more fortunate than he in com- mercial and financial enterprises. He mar- ried, September 22, 1863, Augusta Merrill Barstow, of Portland, Maine, who was born June 6, 1842. She is the daughter of George Simonton and Ellen (Merrill) Barstow, of Portland. (See Barstow, VI.) The children born of this union are: Arthur Kinsman and Philip Barstow.


(VIII) Arthur Kinsman, son of George S. and Augusta M. (Barstow) Hunt, was born in Portland, Maine, June 19, 1864, and was educated in the public schools of Portland and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston. In 1883 he took a short trip abroad, and in the following January entered the em- ploy of George S. Hunt & Company. He be- came a partner in this firm January 1, 1888, remaining there until the firm was dissolved by the death of his father. He then became a partner of George O. K. Cram in the firm of George S. Hunt & Cram, sugar brokers, which firm is still in active business. In January, 1897, he became a partner in the firm of Swan & Barrett, bankers, and remained there until that firm was merged with the Portland Trust Company, of which Mr. Hunt was made vice- president. Mr. Hunt removed to Boston in 1905, and is now the senior partner of Hunt, Saltonstall & Company, bankers and bond dealers. While in Portland Mr. Hunt was in- terested in the welfare of his native city, and for three years represented his ward in the city government. He is a member of the Masonic order. Arthur K. Hunt married, October 4, 1888, Fannie Louise Piper, born in Boston, July 17, 1864, daughter of Frederick K. and Frances Ellen ( Page) Piper. They have four children, all born in Portland, Maine: Ka- tharine, April 29, 1892; Madeleine, December 6, 1894; Eleanor, October 17, 1898; Freder- ick Kinsman, April 11, 1901.


(VIII) Philip Barstow, second son of George S. and Augusta M. (Barstow) Hunt,


was born in Portland, June 13, 1869, and at- tended the public schools of Portland and one year at Tufts College. He then went to Min- neapolis, Minnesota, where he is now gen- eral manager of a large insurance com- pany. He is a Republican and a Univers- alist. He married, November 7, 1894, in St. Paul, Fannie Ella Perry Kibbee, born in Jefferson, Wisconsin, daughter of Chand- ler Waldo and Hattie (Stebbins) Kibbee, who then (1894) resided in St. Paul. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Hunt are: George Smith, born November I, 1895; Mar- jorie Frances, April 17, 1899; and Philip Barstow, April 24, 1905.


This family, whose name


BARSTOW sometimes appears in early records as Bairsto, and Bere- sto, is of English origin, and from the West Riding of Yorkshire, where the name still oc- curs. The Barstow arms are: Ermine, on a fesse sable, three crescents, or. Crest : A horse's head couped argent. Four brothers of this name came early to New England, and settled at Cambridge, Watertown and Ded- ham, Massachusetts. These were George, Michael, John and William. Of but two, George and William, is there any account of the time or manner of their coming. The place from which they came is not given, but they were probably of Yorkshire. The de- scendants of William Barstow are widely scattered over the northern and western states, and wherever known are men of respectable standing, and several have risen to eminence and honor, in the councils of states, and the congress of the nation.


(I) William Barstow, aged twenty-three, and George Barstow, aged twenty-one, em- barked at London, September 20, 1635, for New England in the "Freelove," John Gibbs, master. William Barstow was of Dedham, 1636, and signed the petition for the incor- poration of that town under the name of Con- tentment. "The 16 day of the 12 month, 1642, grants of upland ground fir for improve- ment with the plough" were made to him and to his brother George. He was a freeman in Scituate, 1649, and the first settler of whom there is any record of the present territory of Hanover. The outlines of the cellar of the house of William Barstow, carpenter or ship- wright, were yet visible some years ago. That he had an orchard is attested by the record of a suit in which he was plaintiff against John Palmer, claiming fio damages "for pull- ing down fence, and daminfying his apel trees,.

and for stroying his corn, English and In- dian, with his hoggs." Across the North river, in October, 1656, William Barstow Sr. was authorized to build a bridge, "above the third herring brook at Stoney reach, being the place where now passengers goe fre- quently over; the said bridge to bee made sufficient for horse and foot; and to cleare and marke a way to Hughes cross, and to open and clear and mae a way along beyand Hughes Crosse toward the bay, soe as to avoid a certain Rocky Hill and swamp ;- he to have f12 current countrey pay for so doing." July 27, 1662, Mr. Barstow agreed with Mr. Con- stant Southworth and Major Josias Winslow, in behalf of the Colony of New Plymouth, "to keep in repair and maintaine the bridge called Barstow's bridge, upon the North River, in consideration of £20 in hand paid, to serve for transportation of passengers, horses, cat- tle, and all such use as they shall ordinarily put it to," and pledge for the fulfilment of this contract, the house and land in and on which he dwelt, a small tract already disposed of to his son (in-law) Moses Simmons, only ex- cepted." This was the first bridge built on this stream and its old piers are still visible. In 1657 Mr. Barstow was "allowed by the Court to draw and sell wine, beer and strong waters for passengers that come and goe over the bridge he hath lately made, or others that shall have occasion, unless any just exception shall come in against him." He had been previously licensed to keep an ordinary; so that it appears probable that near the bridge he had a small building as a kind of toll house, and here his refreshments were kept. About 1662 a grant of land was made to William Barstow, "lying westward of Cornett Stud- sons graunt, in reference to satisfaction for his pains etc. in the countreys business ;" and the commissioners were instructed to lay out not less than forty nor more than fifty acres of arable land. William Barstow died in Scituate in 1668, aged fifty-six. He left no will, and his widow administered on his es- tate. Mr. Barstow was a noted man in his day, as appears from what has just been said of him. He was an extensive landholder, a man of high respected ability, and a worthy and enterprising citizen. He probably married his wife Anne after he came to New England, but there is no record of his marriage, and nothing is known of his wife's parentage or surname before her marriage. She became a member of the church in April, 1641, the same month in which her son Joseph was bap- tized. They had: Joseph, Mary, Patience,


Sarah, Deborah, William, Martha, and one other child. Widow Ann married (second) John Prince, of Hull.


(II) Joseph, eldest child of William and Anne Barstow, was born in Dedham, June 4, 1639, and died April 17, 1712. In March, 1672, liberty was "granted and allowed to Joseph Barstow to keep an ordinary at the place where he now lives, and that he be pro- vided always with neassaries for the entertain- ment of travellers, and keep good order in his house, that there be no just cause of complaint against him in that behalfe." He was an ex- tensive landholder, as appears from the record of grants made to him by the colonial court, the amount thus received running into the hundreds of acres, now lying chiefly in Abing- ton. These grants were in the vicinity of the grants made to Cornet Stetson, with whom Mr. Barstow seems to have been on terms of intimate friendship, and whose will he wit- nessed. He married, May 16, 1666, Susanna Lincoln, of Hingham, who died January 31, 1730. Their children were: Susanna, Joseph, Benjamin, Deborah and Samuel.


(III) Captain Joseph (2), eldest son of Jo- seph (I) and Susanna (Lincoln) Barstow, was born in Hanover, January 22, 1675, and died there July 25, 1728. Captain Barstow, in connection with Benjamin Stetson, received in 1720 a grant of two acres of land on the Indian Head river, between Pine Hill and Rocky Run, for the accommodation of a forge and finery, and erected the forge subsequently known as Barstow's forge, and later as Syl- vester's, and which was improved by his de- scendants for nearly a century, or until about the year 1800. He lived on Broadway, and it is said built the house known one hundred and fifty years later as the Salmond House. He was a man of much wealth for those times, and owned a great amount of land. The in- ventory of his estate mentions: one-fourth of a sloop; his farm of seventy acres; the farm of forty acres on which William Stet- son lived in Scituate; the farm of the Widow Amy Dwelly, of Scituate, twenty-four acres ; three hundred and twenty-eight acres called the Court Grant, between lands of Deacon Stockbridge and Samuel Barstow; thirty-two acres of cedar swamp, partly in said grant ; seventy acres joining the north side of Elijah Cushing's farm ; forty-five acres on the south side of said Cushing's farm; six acres fresh meadow; one-fourth of the new forge; five and one-third acres by Gershom Stetson's ; six acres adjoining Charles Stockbridge's ; one and a fourth acres on the north side of the
