Husband of Abby Taber; father of Sarah Gordon Hunt Snow. He first married Sarah M. Gordon (daughter of Susan Marsh and Thomas Pope Gordon) on 1 Nov. 1837. After Sarah's death in 1847 he married her cousin, Abby Taber. He died in 1862 in Minneapolis, Minnesota where he had gone for health reasons.
He was a son of Benjamin and Abigail Hunt, born in Little Compton, R. I., June 12, 1813. When very young he came to New Bedford and in a short time found a position as clerk, in the employ of Henry Taber.
