The road passing the village landing south leads to the Great Planting neck\ called by the Indians Quinnahiaig, upon which are now many beautiful country seats. At the south-east extremity of the neck is situated Hunt's Point. This property has been occupied by the Hunt family for nearly one hundred and si.xly years, having passed into their hands by the inarriage of Thomas Hunt with Elizabeth Jessup, daughter of Edward Jessup, one of the first patentees. In 16S8, Thomas Hunt, of the Grove farm, granted to his son Thomas Hunt one hundred acres lying on the south side of Gabriel Leg^gett's land, bounded eastwardly and southerly by Broncks's river.
