He may have been married to "Millicent" Wright (who may have been born as Hannah Wright to Jonathan Wright and his wife) and they had quite a few sons and daughters according to LDS Mormon family search records. The marriage date for the couple is said to have been 20 Jan 1758 and it says that Millicent Wright was born about 1731 at Flushing, Queens, New York to Jonathan Wright and that she died 15 Sep 1832. The LDS records say that Thomas Hunt was a son of Thomas Hunt and Sara Ward and that he was born in 1727 and died 4 Jul 1808 at Hunts Point in the Bronx.

A different source for burial at this cemetery says that he died at the age of 80 or 81 but that Hannah Unknown was his wife and that she died 15 Sept. 1812 at the age of 72 which would put her date of birth at about 1740. His date of death on the cemetery record is said to been on the Fourth of July in 1808 at the age of 80 or 81 with burial at Hunts Point in the Bronx, New York. That information would translate to birth for him about 1727 or 1728.

Thus we have agreement for the dates of birth and death for this Thomas Hunt in both sources and from the LDS a marriage date of 20 Jan 1758. Based on the observation that the general marriage age of women in first marriages at this time was about 17, I would say that Thomas Hunt's Hannah or "Millicent" was probably born about 1740 or 1741. Whether she died at the age of 71 in 1812 or 91 in 1832, I'm not sure.
