In 1776 the Connecticut Assembly provided for four battalions to be raised by voluntary enlistment and join the continental army. Medad Hunt was named ensign in the third battalion, serving under 2nd lieutenant Joshua Wells, 1st lieutenant Samuel Tudor, Captain William Orcutt, Jr., Major Amos Wilcox, lieutenant colonel Samuel Gale and colonel Roger Enos.
On 25 Feb 1782, the town of Tolland appointed five men, including Medad Hunt, to hire five men to enter military service at Horseneck [now in Greenwich, Connecticut].
Medad Hunt later lived in what is now called Ashland (first called Scienceville) in Greene County, New York. [Greene County was formed from Albany and Ulster Counties (orginal New York counties) in 1800.] The first permanent settlers appeared in the area of Ashland in 1788. Medad Hunt probably moved from Connecticut to New York about the same time as Stephen Simmons (by 1790, to Albany County which became Greene County) and died in the Town of Windham, Greene County, New York, in 1814. Medad died intestate and his administrators were Sarah Hunt (surely the widow), Daniel Gunn who had married his daughter Sallie, and Jehiel Tuttle, who had married his daughter Hannah. No list of heirs remains in his estate file. Capt. Medad Hunt, as he was called, kept an Inn or Tavern. The first one was built in 1788. He was a carpenter or joiner by profession and built a much better Public House between 1795 and 1805.
In 1795, the village included the store of Sanford Hunt and the inn of Medad Hunt. On 6 April 1790, he was one of those who was given a contract for 800 pounds to build a road from "Oulehoudt" Creek to Catskill on the Hudson. Because it was such a financial burden, the contractors were given more money in 1793.
