The following is from son, Charles Hunt's biography in the Biographical History of La Crosse, Monroe and Juneau Counties, Wisconsin. Chicago: The Lewis Publishing Company 1892
Melzar and Abigail (Dingley) Hunt were married at Duxbury, Massachusetts, in 1815 and the following year removed to Chautauqua County, New York. Both are direct descendants of the Plymouth Rock Colony. They reared a family of six children, Charles A. being the youngest. The father was a manufacturer of woolen goods. He was drowned in Lake Chautauqua in 1860, and his body was not recovered until the following spring, although a great effort was made by the members of the community, and the Masonic Fraternity especially.
