Finally found a death for John Hunt 12 JUL 1879 in North Dorchester, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada.
Had been hopeful it might give parents. Sadly no. His birth year listed as about 1795 in England. We have seen 1971 and 1798 on various documents.
He is listed as a farmer and no mention of being a widow so assume Mary was alive.
His first marriage 26 April 1820 in Chittlehampton, Devon, England to Elizabeth "Betsey'" Jerman produced 5 children and it appears she died about six days after birth of last child who lived about one day. I seem to have misfiled that marriage record.
Unable to find any birth information that fits John Hunt. Some in right year range in Devon but only know he was living in Ashreigney, Devon, England at time of marriage to Mary Pope
