He was born seventy-two years ago at Ringoes, where his father, Dr. Cicero Hunt, practiced medicine for fifty years. His mother was Annie Iredell, of Hatboro, this State. When Mr. Hunt was 24 years old he married Catherine Skillman, and went to live on a farm on the upper Delaware, where he remained for about four years, afterwards returning to his father's.

The nursery was then rented, and he moved with his family to this city, where he lived in comparative retirement.
