  4.   CutterS2 identifes Mrs. Deborah Barber as Martha's sister. However, there is no sister Deborah records in Wrentham VRsS3, or in the Fales Genealogy. Rehoboth VRs has records giving the birth of Deborah Hunt to parents John and Martha on 27 Sep 1692, Deborah Hunt marrying Joseph Barber on 24 May 1722, and Deborah Barber marrying Joseph Cowel of Wrentham on 23 Feb 1742-3. It appears that Cutter got confused, and was thinking about Martha (Williams) Hunt, the mother of Deborah (Hunt) Barber, as John Hunt m. (2) Mary (Williams) Hide, that Martha's half-sister by the same father (see Hunt Genealogy, p. 285).
