CALEB HUNT when 16 years old was a private in Capt. Samuel Blodgett's company, May, 1777, Col. 
Nathan Hale's regiment, and was left severely wounded at Hubbardston, Vt. Dr. Abraham Downer, of
Charlestown, was allowed 42 shillings for medical care of Caleb Hunt. In 1779 he was in the 2d 
New Hampshire regiment (Col. George Reid' s) and is described as 5 ft. 10 in. tall, with light 
hair and complexion. July 18, 1781, he enlisted from Amherst for six months, and was of Amherst 
in 1794, when he petitioned for a grant of state land because of depreciation of pay. 

HENRY HUNT was a private in Capt. Benj. Spaulding's company, Col. Moses Nichols' regiment, which
marched in 1780 to West Point. In 1781 he enlisted from Amherst for six months. Perhaps brother 
of Caleb Hunt. 

WILLARD HUNT, who came to Dublin as early as 1774, served in Capt. Abijah Smith's company, which
went to reinforce Washington's army near New York in September, 1776.  April, 1778, he enlisted
for one year. He removed from Dublin. 

It is not known from what town the Hunts came; they may have been relatives of Willard Hunt whose
name appears upon the Dublin tax list, first in 1774.
