    Notes 
    • Ormond and Delia Hunt and their three children, aged sixteen, thirteen, and five, left Vermont for Michigan in 1836. There is reason to believe that they lived for a time in Hardwick, Caledonia Co., Vermont before they moved to Michigan. Their little daughter, Mary Elizabeth, died in Tunbridge in March, 1832, and their daughter Amanda was born in Hardwick in December of the same year. So it is reasonable to assume that they moved to Hardwick in the summer of 1832. Delia Noyes Hunt's brother, James King Noyes, lived in Hardwick, and that suggests a reason for their moving. In Hardwick they became friends with the family of Jeremiah Stannard, who lived there. Ormond Hunt and Jeremiah Stannard bought their Michigan land at the same time, before they left Vermont. The Stannards left Hardwick first. The Hunt family went first to Kalamazoo and spent the winter there. No one seems to know what route they took from Vermont to Michigan, but it's safe to say that they came most of the way by covered wagon.

      They may have used the Erie Canal boats from Albany to Buffalo. They probably replenished their supplies in Detroit, then set out through the terrible Michigan mud of those days for Kalamazoo, via White Pigeon, on the Chicago Road. They very likely stopped overnight in the old Clinton Tavern, which has been moved to Ford's Greenfield Village. In Kalamazoo Ormond Hunt pursued his trade of shoemaker, and his wife helped out by selling some of his excellent homebaked goods in the cobbler-shop. In March, 1838, they made their way to the land which they had purchased before they left Vermont. Their land was in the southern part of Boston Township, Ionia Co., Sect. 32, 160 acres) on a road which runs due west from Portland, one mile south of M-16 and parallel with it. The house is now owned, (in 1936) by Mrs. Robert Young. It is, of course, not the original log house, but was probably built in the forties. The frame is of "barn" construction, and the hand-hewn beams can still be seen in the attic. The Youngs rebuilt it in 1916. When his sons grew up, Ormond Hunt gave them each a portion of land. Simeon lived on his farm for some years, but Herman sold his land and bought a farm near Saranac. In 1857 Ormond moved to the village of Lowell, Kent Co., where he died May 10, 1861. He is buried in the South Boston Cemetery. His widow married 2nd, Silas Mason, of Lowell. He was born in Jan. 1798 and died Aug. 5, 1867. They are both buried in South Boston.

      Ormond Hunt's name is spelled variously in the records as Ormond, Ormand and Oman. In Deacon Simeon's family Bible it is written Ormand, when his birth was recorded. His marriage record in Montpelier has it Orman. Oman was a common given name and surname also, in Vermont. If he was named for one of his grandfathers, it must have been for his grandfather Burnham. Yet that does not seem likely, because his brother Burnham had the family name. [9]
