    Enoch received 22 acres "in the plaine" and one acre near "burying Iland." On 2 July, 1688, "Jonas Humphrey and Robert Randall, both of Weymouth, deposed that they lived in Wendover for some time, and that they were acquainted with Enoch Hunt of Titendon, in the parish of Lee, about two miles distant from Wendover, blacksmith, and his eldest son Ephraim Hunt, and that the said Enoch and his son Ephraim afterwards removed into New England and for some time dwelt in Weymouth, and that the said Enoch Hunt, the father, soon returned again to England, but his son Ephraim remained and settled in Weymouth, and there married and had issue several sons, and continued to dwell there to the time of his death, about sixteen months since". (Massachusetts Archives, 129:16)
    [note: Exactly 16 months before this deposition date was March 2, 1687, and Ephraim’s exact death date was Feb 22, 1687, so their statement is true]
