Family:John Hunting and Hester Seaborne (1)

Another Child?

Edith Bartlett Sumner, in Descendants of Thomas Farr gives this couple a daughter Ann. One Ann Hunting married, as his second wife, 1 May 1641, at Dedham, Deacon Henry Phillips of Dedham and Boston. However, a child of this couple would not have been born before March of 1624/25 making such a daughter barely sixteen at the time of the Phillips marriage. That, coupled with the fact that none of the children of Henry Phillips and Ann Hunting appear to have been mentioned in the wills of either Hester or Elder John Hunting, would tend to indicate that Ann Hunting was much more likely a sister of Elder John Hunting, if even that closely related.
