[Note: not clear why the name is given as "Mary Elizabeth". No evidence of this has been seen. His widow was Elizabeth, that was a different person.]
Concord VRs show the birth of daughter Marcy in 1718 to William Hunt and his wife Mary (Carly). Source:Wyman, Thomas Bellows. Genealogy of the Name and Family of Hunt : Early Established in America from Europe : Exhibiting Pedigrees of Ten Thousand, p. 91, shows the name as Mercy, but as she is the only daughter of a mother named Mary, so it seems possible that the name was actually Marey and misread as Marcy, then converted to Mercy? Wyman shows no marriage or further information, but her birth would match an age at death of 69.
