"Early in 1775 Squire Hunt had a turn of bleeding at the nose from which he nearly died, and never recovered. With his wife he was living with their daughter Palmer on the Nineteenth of April. She bundled her parents into her chaise and sent them to Newton to be out of the fighting. The Squire remained an invalid until his death on January 19, 1777. In view of the state of the currency it is hard to estimate the value of his estate, but his distillery, his mansion house, and his library are impressive."
