Theodosia was the daughter of Robert Pearson and Mary Coar. She is presumed to have been born in Nottingham Twp., old Burlington Co., NJ (now Hamilton Twp., Mercer Co., NJ), where her parents resided. She died at the age of 39, presumably in Trenton, old Hunderdon (now Mercer) Co., NJ, where she and her husband resided.
The following obituary appeared in the New Jersey Gazette, Trenton, NJ, Tuesday, 9 Mar. 1784:
"On Thursday last, the 4th of March, departed this life, in the 40th year of her age, Mrs. Theodosia Hunt, wife of Mr. Abraham Hunt, merchant in this town. She left behind her an affectionate husband, penetrated with grief proportionate to his just sense of her excellence, and eight sons and a daughter, to feel and deplore their loss. Such was her cheerful un-interrupted benevolence of heart; such was the gentleness and purity of her manners, that she never made an enemy, nor ever lost a friend.
To know her once, was to love her forever."
