      (East Sussex Record Office, ref. WIN/396)
    Court 8 Sep 1778

    Occupation Carpenter  [1] 
    • Shown as a carpenter in the marriage licence info. when he married Elizabeth Springfield.
      A bill of work from 1772 shows work done to repair the church by Richard the carpenter.

    Buried 9 May 1796  St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • Age was given as 60 in the burial record for the Richard Hunt who died in 1796 - not quite accurate but close enough that I believe it was most likely this Richard.
      Clearly not the one who died 1809, as the KFHS transcript (CD 25)shows that Richard was aged 45.

    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 21 Feb 2013):
      Under "Marriages" and "1724" - "Richard Hunt & Isabella Beacon both of Lenham _ _ } Feb: .5" - I think that the dot that appears before the 5 is all that remains of a '1', which agrees with the date of the marriage licence.
