He was a shipwright associated with his brother James, and was at Falmouth by 1745. On May 13, 1756, he bought from his brother-in-law, Josiah Noyes, a lot on Falmouth Neck with a dwelling house thereon [York Deeds, 30:348]. The family genealogy wrongly gives all his children to Benjamin 5 (Johnson 4) and adds, for good measure, Benjamin 5 (Job 4), who was Benjamin Lunt of Penobscot who deeded as his mother's (Brackett) heir in 1805. [Cumberland Deeds, 45:244].

Fifteen children, 1768-1795, are listed in the family genealogy.

He served in the Revolutionary War and was drowned. Captured on the Brig Dalton confined Mill prison 3d Lt on Bon Homme Richard.

Took the oath of allegiange to Newbury, Mass, in 1678. He cinveyed land to John Weed, bought of his son, Henry Jr. in 1695; also conveyed to Cutting Noyes his dwelling house with land to be held in trust for his wife, Mary, in 1698. Cutting Noyes, as trustee for his widow.in 1716 conveyed the same property to her sons, Joseph and Benjamin.

Daniel was "a private and Sergeant & in the Army of the Revolution," and he stated in his pension application, "I was born in that part of Falmouth now called Portland and have always lived in the Town of Falmouth". On 23 Dec 1839, Daniel sold property in Falmouth to his son Benjamin that had been his father's homestead in return for which Benjamin vowed to care for his mother and father during their lifetimes. Daniel was living in the household of his son Benjamin in 1850, ae 87y (1850 USC, Falmouth, p.124).

Eight children born in Newbury.

In 1756 they shared in the estate of her mother, Mrs. Judith Noyes, which Judith had inherited from her father John Pike. Jane Lunt conveyed to Lois Lunt, her husband's cousin, one-third of a piece of land in the ox common, a dwelling house and half an oatmeal mill that she had formerly recovered from Nathaniel Lunt on February 17, 1762.

Administration on the estate of Ephraim Lunt was granted to his widow Jane on March 12, 1759. The total of the inventory was £296: 4: 2.

In 1786, Ephraim, his father Benjamin and his bro-in-law Jacob Merrill sold property in Falmouth to Samuel Winslow of Boston (Cum Co deed 24:21). Ephraim was called a yeoman in that deed. He was a Rev War soldier (MSS&S 10:46).

"History of the Lunt family" p.114 states that " "History tells us that Henry Lunt and his wife, Ann, came from England in the ship, Mary & John, and that they first landed at Agawam, now Ipswich, Mass, and came to what is now called Newbury, Mass, in the spring of 1634-5."

Henry was only ten years old in 1662, when his father died, so he was Henry, Sr., all of his adult life. He was a military officer and was on the ship Lion, sworn at Boston, July 12, 1781 (sic, should be 1681), age 27 years. Inventory of his estate taken Jan 2, 1709 and Apr 29, 1737 and divided May, 1737, and allowed June 21, 1737 to the following children: sons: Henry, John, Samuel, James, Daniel and Skipper; daughters: Jane Lunt and Mary Wingate, Jane alias Drake.

He was non compos mentis and presumably lived with his mother, Jane (Brown) (Lunt) Mayo who was still alive in 1737. He received a share of his father's intestate estate in that year. On Oct. 1, 1740, the selectmen of Newbury requested that Mr. John Lunt, or some other meet person be appointed guardian of James Lunt, an idiot not capable of managing his estate, and on the following day John was appointed, giving a bond in £2000, Joseph Lunt and Joseph Coffin sureties. Administration on James Lunt's estate was granted to John Lunt on April 30, 1765, the inventory amounting to £94, John's claim for boarding and clothing James for twenty-five years being £372. [Essex Probate, 342:471; 343:65]. The Lunt genealogy, in obvious error, marries this James Lunt to Hannah Noyes of Falmouth in 1748, gives him four children born in Falmouth 1747-1757, and sends him back to Newbury to die in the home of his brother John.

James was called mariner, shipwright and finally gentleman. As James Lunt of Newbury, shipwright, he bought his first Falmouth land from Danforth Phipps, two lots "on the neck," on August 30, 1743. In 1752 Ephraim Jones sold to him three acres on Mountjoy's Neck and also had from Ebenezer Gustin another lot. As gentleman, of Falmouth, he and his brother Benjamin, by separate deeds, bought adjoining lots "on the neck" from their brother-in-law Josiah Noyes in 1756. On December 15, 1761, he signed a division agreement with the heirs of Joseph Noyes in behalf of his children by his late wife Hannah.

Collector of the Port of Portland for many years.

Died young.

(Died young.)

On May 28, 1716, Cutting Noyes, feoffee in trust for the widow of Mr. Daniel Lunt, late of Newbury, and Mary Lunt, the said widow, conveyed to Joseph Lunt, son of Daniel, certain lots of marsh, flats on Plum Island, one-half of the freehold originally granted to Mr. Henry Lunt, father of Daniel, in all the common and undivided lands in Newbury, one-half of the pasture on the easterly side of Little River lately laid out, and one-half of a wood lot, together with all profits and privileges, etc. [Essex Deeds, 36:74].

Lunt: He bought of his brother-in-law, Nathaniel Badger, May 12, 1715, the house where he lived with buildings, and utensils belonging to his Oat or Malt Mill, and the land belonging to his honored father.

John March, Joseph Lunt and John Brown, Jr., committee of the proprietors of common lands in Newbury, Mass., by a vote passed at the meeting of the proprietors held May 13, 1743, conveyed to Capt. Moses Gerrish, Jeremiah Pierson, Jacob Noyes, and Samuel Gerrish, all of Newbury, Mass., for a public use, six rods of land in Newbury, Mass., to set or build a schoolhouse and watch-house upon, or any other public use, that they shall see cause to put said land to.

"On Saturday 15th inst. Mr. Joseph Lunt aged 48. A member of society eminently distinguished for his many benevolent and charitable actions." [Portland Gazette, Sept. 24, 1804].

"Davis" says Joseph was really Hannah's son by her first marriage to Joseph Quimby.

Died in infancy.

Moses was a Rev War soldier (White's Rev War Pension Abstracts, pp. 2144-45, pension application #W24603).

Nathan was a Rev War soldier (MS&S 10:46).

In 1754 he deeded Plum Island marsh land to Edward Woodman, Jr., his mother Joanna Lunt and his wife Eunice releasing dower, and in 1757 he conveyed property, probably his interest in the family mill. [Essex Deeds 108:19]. On Jan. 13, 1756/57, Newbury granted to Nathaniel Lunt, Benjamin Rolfe, Jonathan Plumer and Stephen Ilsley liberty to erect a grist mill and saw mill at Pine Island Creek. Possibly this investment was too heavy for on June 10, 1757, Nathaniel's wife petitioned the judge of probate to appoint a guardian for him "in order to save his estate, for we think that he is non compos mentis," Benjamin Lunt, William Moody and Cutting Lunt signing the petition. Ephraim Lunt, Nathaniel's cousin and brother-in-law was appointed on the following day. Ephraim Lunt died in 1758 and it was left for his widow, Jane (Noyes) Lunt, sister of Eunice (Noyes) Lunt, to account for the guardianship of not only Nathaniel Lunt but of Nathaniel's brother Joseph. [Essex Probate, 334:419; 435; 336; 458; 123]. Apparently Nathaniel regained his sanity, for in 1760 he conveyed his right in the mills lately erected to Rolfe and Ilsley. Seven children, the eldest son being Nicholas, who, with his daughters, inherited the estate of his aunt Lois Lunt.

Lunt: Nathaniel, with his brother, Cutting, and sister, Lois, operated the mill, formerly owned by their father, Joseph Lunt, from 1750 to 1785. On Jan. 13, 1756-7 the town granted Nathaniel Lunt, Benjamin Rolfe, Jonathan Plumer and Stephen Ilsley, liberty to erect a Grist Mill and Saw Mill at Pine Island Creek, on certain conditions: The grantees giving bonds to save the town harmless from damage arising from the overflowing of the banks and meadows on said creek. On Sept. 10, 1760, Nathaniel Lunt sold his interest in said Mill to Benjamin Rolfe and Stephen Ilsley. The Mill was destroyed by fire Dec. 5, 1797.

He was a minute man, a Sergeant in Capt. Moses Nowell's Company, marching from Newbury the night that news of the battle of Lexington reached the town. He was also Lieutenant in Capt. Timothy Bernard's Company, Col. Little's Regiment, in 1775, First Lieutenant in Capt. Ezra Lunt's Company in the same regiment later that year, and Adjutant in Col. Titcomb's Regiment of Militia in 1776. Four children by his first wife and six by his second wife.

Served in the Revolutionary War. Captured in the Brig Dalton, confined mill prison seaman on frigate Alliance.

Served as a private in Capt. Elijah Carpenter's Co. of NY militia, Sept 20 to Nov 20, 1814. Afterwards he settled at the location of Brownsville and was a prosperous farmer.

Unmarried. He is buried in the same cemetery as his brother Oliver. He enlisted in the Mexican War from Michigan and saw action at Vera Cruz and Mexico City. He contracted yellow fever while in the army, was discharged at New Orleans and went home to NY. He stayed 18 months before going to his brother, Oliver, in Wisconsin.
