Anne Hurst CARRINGTON-- Date: 23 May 1631 Place: Ormskirk, Lancashire, England
The name Lunt is supposed to be of Scandinavian origin, as the name is very common in Denmark, being spelled there Lundt. Tn this country the name is confined largely to the northern New England states, where in early times most of them were sea-faring people.
Henry Lunt came to Newbury. Mass.. in the Spring of 1634-5 and was one of the (original grantees of the Town, took the freeman's oath in 1638. He died July 10 1662. Anna, his widow, married Joseph Hills, previously of Maiden. Mass.. but then of Newbury. Mass..
on March 8. 1664. He was a lawyer (J. H.). of note. Captain of a Military Company, and the first speaker of the Great and General Court. He had been married three times before, his first wife being Rose Dunster, sister of Henry Diinster, (first President of Harvard College) ; his second wife being Hannah Mellow, (widow of
Edward Mellow) ; and his third wife being- Helen Atkinson. He died in Newbury, Mass.. February 5, 1687-8.
Anna, his widow, survived him many years. In his will he gave to his wife Anna the household goods, which were her former husband's, also bequeathed to her cows, sheep, etc., besides land from his own estate ; and to Daniel Lunt, her oldest son, his brass stilyards ; to Henry Lunt his back sword. This Henry was probably her youngest son, who was a military officer according to

Biography
'Henry Lunt and his wife, Ann, immigrated to America from London, Middlesex, England on 22 March 1633, on the ship Mary and John.
The ship first landed in Agawam (now Ipswich), Massachusetts in 1633. Some of the passengers remained in Agawam, while the Lunts joined a group who had decided to settle in Newberry Plantation (subsequently renamed Newbury) in 1634-35.
The trek from Ipswich to Newberry Plantation was not simple. There were no roads; the wilderness was trackless. Tradition has it that the settler families and all their household goods arrived via the Plum Island Sound in May or June of 1635, landing on the north shore of the Parker River. And so Henry and Ann Lunt and their fellow colonists began plowing, planting, building sheds and houses, and laying out and granting meadow lots for grazing.

Lunt Family
'The Lunt family is well-established in the Newbury’s. Henry Lunt was one of the first settlers that arrived here with Rev. Parker and he established himself a large tract of farm land which he managed with his wife Anna. The Lunt family has a Scandinavian background and had originally come from Northern England near York. That fighting spirit from the days of the Vikings obviously had not been diluted by the time of the American Revolution. Men such as Cutting Lunt fought bravely as privateers or even valiantly with the fledgling navy with John Paul Jones as in Henry Lunt. Captain Macijah Lunt after the harrowing experiences of being a privateer went on to be one of the most prosperous merchants in Newburyport. The Lunt family grew expansively with like reputations and even had strong branches in Portland, Maine and a presence in small communities along the eastern seaboard...'
