Deborah (Hunt) Whitford (1784-1851)
Plot: Whitford
Whitford Family Lot
Plot: WhitfordNotes - 1820 in Marcellas also John, William, Solomon, William Hunt two away from Asa, Solomon also on same page, poss. brothers
- 1830 census there is Solomon and William both born between 1781 and 1790. They are noted listed in the Hunt Family History (Ancestors and descendants of Samuel Hunt of Pauling, Dutchess County and Cambridge, Washington County, New York, Jerome D. Traver, 2005). I believe they are the link to Deborah, assumed siblings). Note that the Thomas Hunt that came to Marcellus (had Seneca(1786), Samuel(1784), Solomon(1797), David(1799) and others had a sister named had an Aunt named Deborah. Thomas' father was Samuel(1735-1800), of Cambridge, Washington Co., NY) - border near Vermont/Mass. It would appear that Solomon and William and Deborah are children of Samuel(1735)'s brother, unknown.
- Ironically William Hunt(1715) had a daughter, Deborah(b.1746) that married Asa Haynes. William's son Daniel had a daughter, Deborah(b.22Sep1783, per Family Bible). Is this Deborah, our Deborah and her cemetery marker is incorrect? No one has a record of who this Deborah married, only that she was living in 1809 at the time of her father's will (in Ulster Co.,NY)
