The Hunt Connection (Davis)

Francis Hunt was born in 1773, and settled on present day Winthrop Road where he established Hunt's Brickyard somewhere near the old Bryant house. Among the buildings in town made of Hunt’s bricks is the Union Meetinghouse. There are many other old brick houses in Readfield - we can rest assured those bricks were also made by our ancestor Francis Hunt, who was great-grandfather of Isabel Davis Adell.
