A RECORD OF MARRIAGES PERFORMED BY REVEREND NEHEMIAH HUNT (1772-1860) OF WILTON AND AVON, MAINE

 Contributed by Clarence A. Day, of Orono, Maine

Wilton Vital Records, Vol. 1 and 2 also give these.

The original record, as kept by Mr. Hunt, is in the possession in 1954 of one of his descendants, Mrs. Pearl Dow Loring of Orono, Maine.

In making the copy the contributor has attempted to give the spelling exactly as in the original.  In some instances, because of stains, faded ink, or indistinct writing, he has not been absolutely sure of the name.  In these instances the uncertainty has been indicated by the use of a question mark.

Rev. Nehemiah Hunt (William, Jeremiah, Samuel, Samuel, William ) was born in Dunstable, N.H. (presumably), 3 January, 1772 and died in Avon, Maine (presumably), 30 Dec.1860.  He married ? Jan. 1792, Joanna Mooars.  Their ten children were: Betsy, Joanna, Noah Johnson, Nehemiah, Polly, Esther, Hephzibah, Charles V., Lura Livermore, and Sylvester Strickland.

Mr. Hunt lived for some years in Wilton, but moved about 1826 to Avon.  Many of his marriages were of people in the towns of Avon, Phillips, Temple, Strong, Salem, and Berlin (now part of Phillips), an area in Franklin County from which not many vital records have found their way into print.

Below this table, which lists the marriages by date,  is an Alphabetical Index of Marriages.
