- From The Hunt Family - The Hunt Families of Vermont, by Mitchell J. Hunt. Online at http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~tompkins/genealogy/manuscripts/manus...:
- "Jonathan Hunt, b. June 1825 at Brattleboro; went with his mother and siblings to Europe and educated at Paris where he became a distinguished doctor. There he fell in love with a young French girl of a working class with whom he lived the rest of his life, but never married, social distinctions in Paris at the time making such a marriage unthinkable at first, and later an action not desired by his common-law wife Celestine for fear of ruining his career. They had a daughter Jeanne who was driven insane by taunts of her schoolmates.
- "Torn by loyalty and guilt for Celestine and Jeanne and the obligations of his profession, Jonathan took his own life in 1874. In the words of his sister-in-law, Catherine (Howland) Hunt, one of the few to know of his problem (and from whose journal on the family of Richard Morris Hunt this and other fascinating stories on the life of the families are taken), 'he was born with an inconsequent nature, but a warm heart, which made all love him, who was brought into contact with him.'
