William Hunt, V - Mother of William Hunt, V

William V has brother William Hunt, IV, (died young); that’s must be how the numbering was done by family genealogists, I’ve seen similar schemes.

“ Tabitha, wife of William Hunt (III), parents unknown. Did not marry Thomas Boulware - that's a different Tabitha.”

The notes are:

• Evidence needed to support as child of Lt. Col. Matthew Edlow, II and Tabitha Sumers
• Not the same as Tabitha Bowler

I think there’s something to this, but it also eluded me to fall into place. This lady - Tabitha Bowler - different generation & marriage.

But definitely take more looks, these ladies didn’t have known birthdates, and married multiple times.

In the profile for Tabitha Hunt is the analysis that convinced me we don’t know this Tabitha’s origins. I’ll just extract the conclusion for you - it’s a complicated tale of (at least) Three Tabithas.

”Young Tabitha married Thomas Bowler/Boulware after April 1671 since she was not married when old Tabitha’s will was probated. Those who list the Tabitha who married William Hunt as an Underwood seem to believe that after Thomas Bowler died (will proved July 1679) she married William Hunt. A bit of simple math makes this highly unlikely. If young Tabitha was of age (21) in 1671 when she was granted probate of old Tabitha’s will. This means she had to be born no later that 1650. By 1694 when a Tabitha ???? married William Hunt young Tabitha would not have been young. She would have been at least age forty four. Not impossible to have a child but unlikely. Also there were other children who appear to have been born after 1894 [typo] …

In New England the clerks would use Sr & Jr for 1st & 2nd arrivers of the same name in the town. Maybe they’d be related, maybe not. Plenty of Sr’s were younger than the Jr’s …. Genealogists are ingenious in their Disambiguation schemes, and keep re inventing wheels.
