Researchers take care with this profile. It has a lot of errors. No serious genealogist has ever suggested the parents or origins of William Hunt. There is no evidence he was identical to the man bp in Halifax. Also three of the children shown: Susannah, Ann and Mary are not his children. For correct information Robert Charles Anderson suggests these three sources for this man: TAG 30:100-3, 175; Hoyt 211; Smith-Hale 135-38. Smith-Hale can be checked out here:Ancestry and posterity of Joseph Smith and Emma Hale His parents and three daughters mentioned above should be detached. Anderson considers the surname "Best" of Elizabeth his wife, to be inconclusive at best [GM2:1:402] because "Cousin" doesn't mean sister.

I am detaching many profiles and will try to log them in this discussion, or they will be seen from the revisions tab.
Here’s the basic tree though
Robert Hunt’s parents unknown.
Married Elizabeth, her parents unknown, called a Best in error.
surviving children named in will:
Nehemiah, Samuel, Isaac, Elizabeth (Hunt) Barnes
There might be a daughter Anna or Hannah ?
Married 2nd, Mercy, her parents unknown, widow of Edmund Rice.
I’m cutting now.
Robert Hunt, of Halifax & Jane Hunt - no proof asparrmtd
Children detached: Anyone knows otherwise we can put them back
William Hunt, Jr., (died young)
Correction: merged Hezekiah into Nehemiah Hunt, of Concord
There was no Hezekiah and the dates match Nehemiah
Detached William Hunt of Philadelphia who was not the son of Jacob Hunt who was not the son of William of Concord.
I also rejected every single smart Match to MyHeritage trees because not one came close to accuracy, only the Wikitree was helpful.
This was a bit shocking.
Now I can address the English Ancestry William Hunt of Concord didn’t have.
Thomas Hunt, of Leicester Separated from Thomas Hunt

“Anderson considers the surname "Best" of Elizabeth his wife, to be inconclusive at best [GM2:1:402] because "Cousin" doesn't mean sister.”
I can look for The Great Migration Project notes on Best if you like.
What I get from the snippet is that there is a family connection (I believe will evidence, Best > Hunt children) but to say that means Elizabeth Hunt was Robert Best’s sister is misguided. Because he would have said sister, not cousin.
Cousin being often used in that time & place for niece / nephew. And could have been Hunt side.
