John Hunt married 19 June 1810 Anna Hill in Sussex County, New Jersey by the Rev. John Boyd.

Sometime in the near past, someone erected a modern memorial for John Hunt and Anna Hill, though their original memorials are in an excellent state of preservation. The age at death for John Hunt would compute to a date of birth of 15 November 1769 and the modern memorial that was created has a date of 13 November 1764. The biographical sketch of Samuel H. Hunt in HISTORY OF SUSSEX AND WARREN COUNTIES, NEW JERSEY, 1881, indicates that "John, eldest son of Ralph, was father of Samuel H. Hunt, and was born in October 1768. He married Jan. 3, 1809, Anna, a daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Opdyke) Hill of Green township. He died in July 1846." Perhaps the interviewee for the biographical sketch did not readily have information as neither a full date of birth or death was provided or the correct date of marriage. The 1769 date of birth computed from the memorial would be consistent with the dates of birth of the other known siblings of John Hunt.
