Individual Details

Ann HUNT

(ABT 1780S - )

Unfortunately the only information we have on the Hunt family is that they came from Co. Sligo.

Note: The Hunt surname is common throughout the country, especially in Connaught and Munster. The fact that it is an English name may account for much of its presence in Ulster and Leinster, but generally it is an anglicisation of Ó Fiaich, Ó Fiacha, Ó Fiachna and Ó Fiachra because of their resemblance to the Irish word 'fiach', meaning 'chase' or 'hunt'. In the mid-19th century, the Hunt surname was most common in counties Mayo and Sligo.
