Thomas married Mary Silvester on 25 February 1753 in Shilton, Oxfordshire, England.[1]
Research notes
Thomas was previously recorded on this profile as born in Mollingford, Lancashire but no source was given for this information. At the time of his marriage he and his wife were recorded as both being of Burford. It is more likely he was born in Oxfordshire unless specific evidence can be found to tie him to Lancashire N.B. the name Thomas Hunt is a very common one so care is needed not to confuse different individuals of the same name. Further evidence is also needed as to whether the individual who died in Bedfordshire in 1802 is the same man.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Thomas by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Thomas:
I also descend from Andreas Sperling & his wife Sarah (through their daughter Sarah Sparlin who married William Hunt, and settled in Greene County, PA). I'm wondering what the documentation is on Sarah (the mother) being daughter of Thomas and Mary (Silvester) Hunt -- if this is correct, I'd be thrilled because I've been looking for her maiden name and parents for years!
I'd love to hear from you -- if it's easier, you can email me at [email address removed]
