Footnote by W. S. Pelletreau:
Thomas Hunt came in possession of half the land in West Farms by marriage to Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Jessup. This property was held by his descendents for one hundred and sixty years. On the extremity of Hunt's Point is the ancient burial ground of the family. It is made famous by being the last resting place of the poet Joseph Rodman Drake.
