Notes: The Hunts and the Clarkes were neighbors on Elm Street in Northampton for five generations. Hannah and
  Ebenezer lived on Bridge Street for over 25 years and "greatly prospered." All of their 15 children were born there. In 1723 they moved to Lebanon, CT. His brother Thomas had been there since its first settlement, and Hannah's father, Capt. William Clarke, had been one of the first purchasers of land from the Indians. Ebenezer bought a 100-acre farm from his father-in-law. There is a copy of the original deed in the old town records, beautifully written and as legible as print, and bristling with legal phrases. The gist of it was that Ebenezer bought "one hundred acres on the highway, with a mansion house, barns fences and fencing, an orchard and a garden." It lay between the farm of John Davey and the Widow Parell's piece, and on the highway it extended "from the ___nut bush to the white oak tree." His land was in that part of old Lebanon which is now the town of Columbia. It would require a great deal of digging through in the old records to determine where the farm was. Ebenezer paid a goodly sum for the land, which indicated that he was a man of substance. His Will implied that he was a weaver by trade.
 
When Laurentio G. Hunt passed through Lebanon and Columbia in 1938, he called on Mrs. Fred Hunt and met her grandson, Frederick. They live in the village of Columbia, and are descendants of Ebenezer's son William. Frederick's line is: Deacon Jonathan, Ebenezer, William, Joseph, Thaddeus, Dwight, Clayton Edward and Frederick.
