Thomas HUNT

( - 1819)

Thomas Hunt, Indian captive in French and Indian War. As related in an 1881 History of Sussex and Warren Counties, NJ;

The Indians crossed the Delaware near the present Dingman's Ferry and reached Richard Hunt's log house, about 15 miles on the Jersey side of the river. He was absent, and a younger brother, Thomas Hunt, and a negro servant the only occupants. They yielded to the Indians, and were forced to accompany them to Canada. Hunt was sold by his captors to a French military officer as his servant, and was liberated under the Treaty of Easton in October 1758, and reached home in 1759 after a servitude of three years and nine months.
