Her death record indicates she was aged 95y3m at death and that she was born in Hatfield,MA.

I am not sure of her specific origins, but she is called "Charity White" by Louise Hale Johnson in her 1953 "History of Hawley". She could therefore be related to, or the daughter of, Daniel White and Submit Morton White of Hatfield. She could have also originated in Williamsburg,MA as that is her birthplace listed on son Atherton's death record.

Contributor Pat Evans has found a Feb 1,1789 marriage record in Williamsburg of Elisha Hunt and Charity Row. (See photo at left). This provides another avenue to search for her origins. The marriage date fits perfectly with the births of her children, as does the marriage location as evidenced by son Atherton's death record. The Rowe surname is found in Hampshire County, Mass, albeit infrequently.

Her 1865 death record, and that of her son Atherton in 1888, show no evidence of her maiden name.

Children: John Hunt, Josiah Hunt, Chester Hunt, Russell Hunt, Russell Hunt, Jerusha Hunt, and Atherton Hunt.
