About Ann Hunt being a wife. At last check she is not accepted by the Mayflower Society. Several children are reported to have been born near and after 1700. Still....In her fathers will executed in 1717 and probated in 1720. No mention is made of a husband for Ann or her having children. sources "Bonham and Related Families " by Howard E Bonham 1996.

From Hezekiah Bonham (1667-1738): his second marriage to Ann Hunt

The Hezekiah Bonham/Ann Hunt non-marriage was felt most keenly by people like me who were omitted from the latest Mayflower membership book because of the book "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Volume 4: Edward Fuller" published by Mayflower Society in 1990.

In that Edward Fuller volume, Bruce Campbell MacGunnigle, C.D. and his committee of family researchers, claimed that Monette (NJ researcher who may have started the story of Hezekiah's second marriage) misinterpreted Samuel Hunt's will. Samuel Hunt was Ann Hunt's father. Hezekiah Bonham, as one of three men named by Samuel Hunt to partition his land, was believed to have been related to Samuel Hunt as son-in-law and husband of Ann Hunt. [This per MacGunnigle]. The other two men appointed were Samuel Hunt's son Samuel and his son-in-law [for certain] John Price. MacGunngile's committee found no marriage record, no family Bible to confirm, evidently no deeds - nothing to confirm/document any second marriage.

There is another book, dated 1996 - "Bonham and Related Lines" by Howard Bonham, who believes that Hezekiah Hunt did marry a second time - but to Mary Bishop, whose tombstone turned up nearby.
