1 thought on “Hunt Officers in the Continental Army”

  1. I am a great, great, great grandson of Jonathan Hunt (6th generation, 1787 – 1832), who was a congressman from Brattleboro, VT. I am looking for documentation to show that direct ancestors served in the Continental Army, so that my daughters qualify for membership in Daughters of the American Revolution.

    If anyone can help me or offer advice, I would appreciate it. My email is hansencharlesk@gmail.com
