About Mary Ann Hunt
Birth: 1789 Lincolnshire, England
Death: 1855 Mormon Grove, Atchson, Kansas
Mary Ann Holmes is the daughter of Amelia Webb and John Holmes.
She married William Hunt on February 13, 1816 at Rampton, England. They had eleven children: William Hunt, Sarah Hunt, James Hunt, John Hunt, Thomas Hunt, Mary Ann Hunt, Abraham Hunt, Isaac Hunt, Emmanuel Hunt, Levi Hunt and Stephen Hunt.
They lived in England and were of English descent. There were two political parties in the town where they lived namely the Whigs and the Tories and according to their son, Isaac he thought they belonged to the Whigs. They belonged to what was then known as the Church of England.
The family was not rich and they all had to work very hard to make a living William's trade was scissor sharpening. He used to go about the streets with his little emery wheel and sharpen scissors.
When William and Mary Ann first heard the gospel of Christ they accepted it at once and began to save money so they could go to Utah with the other Saints.
When Mary Ann was 60 and William was 70 they decided to cross the plains to Utah with the Richard Ballantyne Company in 1855. Unfortunately Mary Ann and her husband died while crossing the plains. Their two youngest sons, Levi, age 22 and Stephen, age 19 who were traveling with them were left to finish the journey without them.
She died 1855 in Mormon Grove, Atchson, Kansas and was buried in Ft. Laramie, Goshen, Wyoming.
