Of the sons [of William Hunt], Nehemiah and Isaac resided in Concord, while Samuel, according to his deposition, removed to Ipswich about 1655. Nehemiah Hunt married 1 June 1663 Mary "Tooll" and their daughter Mary was born 28 Sept. 1664 [Concord B. M. and D., p. 13] Thomas Wood [son of Thomas and Ann of Rowley] married 26 June 1683 Mary Hunt [Rowley Vital Records, p. 431]. "Docr Simon Dauis and Mary Wood both of Concord was married by Justice minott October ye 19 day 1714" [Concord B. M. and D., p. 85]. The Hunt Genealogy states that Nehemiah Hunt' s daughter Mary married a Davis, not further identified, her married name having been found presumably in records of her father's estate. These records, considered together, indicate that Thomas Wood, Jr., of Rowley, married Mary Hunt, … daughter of Nehemiah and granddaughter of William Hunt, and that she subsequently married secondly, Dr. Simon Davis. Thomas Wood's uncle Obadiah lived in Ipswich, and Mary may have been visiting the family of her uncle Samuel Hunt in Ipswich when Thomas Wood met her. Of course the two families were connected following this marriage in 1683.

"The widow Mary (Hunt) Wood married (2) at Concord, 19 October 1714, the widower (Dr.) Simon Davis, born there 12 October 1661, son of Simon and Mary (Blood) Davis. Although she continued to bear his name, as appears, among other evidence, from her receipt dated 16 December 1719 to her father's estate and her approval with other heirs of the estate account on 31 October 1726 [Middlesex Co. Probate Records 18:46. While Mary (Hunt) (Wood) Davis is called by her second husband's surname, he does not participate in, nor is he even named in, any of the estate proceedings in which his wife is an active participant.], there is little evidence that she actually lived for any time with him. [At least ten conveyances were made by Simon Davis to his sons and to non-relatives after his second marriage in which Mary did not waive dower rights. At the same time, his name was only once mentioned, and he never participated, in any of his wife's transactions in Connecticut.] … On 18 September 1726 she transferred her church membership from Rowley to Mansfield; there was no reference to her husband here or in any of the Mansfield conveyances except the first one, and she was always treated as having full legal power to act. Her will, as Mary Davis, widow, dated 3 January 1754 and proved in Windham District Probate Court on 27 January 1755, names as executor her son-in-law Cordial Storrs. The will is valuable because it names so many of her children and grandchildren and their wives; her daughter Mary Pearson, her husband Daniel, and their son Ephraim; her son Thomas and his son Nehemiah; grandchildren Samuel Wood, Joseph Wood, Rebecca Russ, Ann Upham and Thankful Upham [children of her deceased son Samuel]; the two children Gideon Abbe had by her granddaughter Mary Wood [deceased daughter of Samuel]; daughter Mehitabel Hall and James, William, Thomas, Ephraim, Gershom and Joseph Hall; her daughter Ann Sergeant; her daughter Hannah, wife of Cordial Storrs; and her grandchildren Philip Turner and Elizabeth Burrows, children of her deceased daughter Elizabeth by Philip Turner. Because of this will, it is possible to identify all the husbands of the daughters of Thomas and Mary (Hunt) Wood."
