    [Dukes Co. Probate 6:14] Will of "William Hunt of Chillmark", dated 19 Mar 1760, probated 19 Jul 1769, mentions wife Sarah; son Samuel Hunt (executor); grandchildren Beriah Nickerson, Jane Nickerson and Nathaniel Nickerson, children of deceased daughter Jane Nickerson; daughter Mary Hunt; daughter Sarah Hatch; daughter Hannah Hunt.

  4.   Chilmark VRs, p. 88, reports the gravestone of Hannah Hunt, "w. William, 'formerly' w. Lt. Benjamin Mayhew", d. 1747 in 63rd year [birth about 1685]. This is Hannah Skiff, who m. 1704 Benjamin Mayhew, and he died 1717. MF5G, Vol. 22, p. 25, thinks this is "probably" the second wife of the father, noting that "On 3 Nov. 1729 Hannah Mayhew and William Hunt of Chilmark divided land they had bought from the heirs of Nathan Skiff." But if Hannah Mayhew had not remarried by 1729, she did not marry the father who was then dead. Since the son's first wife died in 1732, and he married Sarah (Gray) Bradford in 1749, there is a gap of 17 years, and the death of Hannah in 1747 suggests she was the second wife of the son, not of the father.
