Biography
Research Note - I have questions on if these are actually her parents. They appear to only live in Virginia - and all of their other children are born in Virginia.
I have seen no primary evidence that her middle name is "Brown", except for Find-a-Grave and IGI (familysearch) which are not considered primary source.
Sarah Hunt probably descends from the John Hunt found in the following records - which is inconsistent with John Hamilton Hunt. There was a previous wikitree connection to a John Hunt who married Elizabeth Bryant and is found in Cheatham, Tennessee.
