    (John2 Grant's) widow, Mary, died 16 Feb., 1697-8. Her will, dated 2 Feb., 1697-8 mentions sister Susannah Todd, wife of John Todd; Sister Wood, wife of Thomas Wood, "who is to have one feather bed that Jeremiah [probably Jeremiah Hunt] lyes on"; cousin John Todd to be executor (Essex Probate, 306:108).

    Mary was sister of Ann wife of Thomas Wood, and of Susanna wife of John Todd, but the editor [Donald Lines Jacobus] cannot accept the conclusion that these sisters were daughters of William Hunt (The American Genealogist, 21:128-133), nor the statement of Mrs. Holman (The Pillsbury Ancestry, 1001) that Mary was Mary (Hunt) Todd.

    Despite the fact that Ann, the wife of Thomas Wood, Susanna, the wife of John Todd and Mary, the wife of John Grant, were sisters, studying each of them separately and together has not solved their origin.
