Research notes
Thomas's wife has been entered as Mary Twaites, but I cannot find any source to connect to the Sheffield marriage 30 March 1725. There are two Thomas Hunts born in Sheffield 1697 and 1701, and a Mary Thwaites born 1700, who are probably the first candidates for that marriage as Sheffield is quite a distance away. Also, Sheffield Indexers have indexed the marriage as Thomas Hunter not Hunt.[5]
The marriage to Easter Alderson in Muker is the right place and time, and he had a daughter named Easter several years later. Easter did not die until 1783. There is a burial of Easter Hunt of Winterings (where son Henry was living) on 15 October 1783 at Muker, date of death 14 October 1783. Fathers were given in the register at this time, whatever the person's age or marital status, and her father is shown as James Alderson, miner. The age at death has been indexed as 96, but the figure has been altered in the register and could also be 86, which is reasonably close to her birth date.[6]
However, there may have been two Thomas Hunts having children in the Muker area. Elizabeth is born before the marriage to Easter, and some of the children show Thomas Hunt of Blades and some show Thomas Hunt of Barf End. See Spalding family site for a discussion and notes.[7]
