Name William HUNT Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Baptised 3 Nov 1727 St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England - KFHS transcript (CD 27)
Gender Male Occupation Wheelwright - From index referencing inventory made following his death
Buried 24 Feb 1751/52 St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England [1] - Although there was a William HUNT buried in Lenham on 28 Aug 1805 aged 77 (according to burial register) (source: KFHS CD 25) i.e. born about 1728, this William appears to have died in 1752. He is not mentioned in his father's will, and the William who died in 1752 was a wheelwright, the occupation of this William's father and brother.

Other Partners: Elizabeth MILLS m. 9 Dec 1753Mother Mary BRACKPOOL, bur. 25 Jan 1751/52, St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England Married 7 Jan 1723/24 St. Margaret’s Church, Wichling, Kent, England - This COULD be the marriage of this John.
If he had found work in Lenham prior to his marriage he could well have had a bridge from Wichling and married there.
However, there was also a marriage of a John HUNT to a Mary in Maidstone in 1722/3 (John otp married Mary TOLHURST of East Farleigh, marr 24 Feb 1722/3; from KFHS CD 26).
While that would also fit neatly as the marriage of this John, there was also a John baptised in Maidstone in 1689, son of John and Mary, who could have been the one that married then. A John son of Thomas and Ann was baptised in Maidstone in 1700/01, he could also be the John who married in Maidstone if he was still alive, I suspect he had died.
In addition Maidstone would have been where many young men could find work, so a John not born and baptised there may well have been 'otp' there in 1722/3.
The Wichling marriage could easily be the John baptised in Egerton in 1693/4; there is no sign of him in Egerton after his baptism.
