1. Shouldn't the death date of Samuel Hunt be after 1717 instead of aft. 1716?

2. Statements in bio need to be matched with the applicable source.

Hunt-1667 and Hunt-1598 appear to represent the same person because: Definitely the same person. 1667 contains the correct information; I adopted 1598 for merge purposes.
