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.
- Some sources suggest this is Mary (Hunt) Wood, the widow of Thomas Wood of Rowley, but at least a couple of these add the qualifier "probably" (e.g., Source:Brown, Walter LeRoy. Ancestors of Florence Julia Brown, and Some of Their Descendants, p. 39). She apparently d. in Mansfield, CT, as widow Mary Davis, 7 Nov 1754. She was dismissed from church of Rowley directly to Mansfield, CT (George Blodgette, "Early Settlers of Rowley", EIHC, p. 24:61, citing Rowley church records: "Sept'r 18 1726 Mary Davis formerly ye Relict of Tho. Wood dismissed to ye chh. in Mansfield"). It is not intuitive that a widow Mary Wood of Rowley, who is still in Rowley in 1726, would be the Mary Wood of Concord who married Simon Davis in 1714, but it appears she may have been living in Concord with her son Samuel, who married about 1713 Jane [Dudley per some sources], and had in Concord Mary b. 1714, Samuel b. 1715/16, and Rebecca b. 1717/18 before relocating to Mansfield, CT, himself, all three of which children appear to be named in the will of widow Mary Davis of Mansfield.
