Cornet Daniel Lunt died in Newbury on 26 January 1702.[6] (A Cornet was the lowest rank of commissioned cavalry officer in the British army.) His widow Mary died there on 28 December 1721.[7]

Daniel Lunt of Newbury & Mary his wife, who was relict of Samuel Moodey late of Newbury deceased and sole Administratrix to the estate of Samuel Moodey, sold for £15 to Edmund Littlefield of Wells, Province of Maine, 125 acres of upland and marsh lying in Wells, being the 1/2 of a grant that was confirmed by the selectmen of Wells to Francis Littlefield Sr in 1655. The land had been sold by Francis Littlefield to Samuel Moodey. [8]

He took the oath of allegiance to Newbury, Massachusetts, in 1678. He conveyed land to John Weed, bought of his son, Henry Jr., in 1695, also conveyed to Cutting Noyes his dwelling house with land to be held in trust for his wife, Mary, in 1698. Cutting Noyes, as trustee for his widow, in 1716, conveyed the same property to her sons, Joseph and Benjamin. Daniel Lunt was a mariner.[9]

The name Daniel Lunt appears in the case files of the Salem Witch Trials as a witness on the memorandum of recognizance for Mary Green, December 16, 1692.[10] Although this Daniel Lunt lived in Newbury, about 28 miles from Salem, the Lunt family genealogy[9] lists no other Daniel Lunts living in Massachusetts at that time.
