Widow Maria Hunt and her children (Georg, age 8; Anna, age 5¼) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 20 August 1766 aboard a ship named Der Friede (Peace) under the command of Skipper Hans Karck.
The widow Hunt remarried to Jakob Bozenhardt with whom she arrived in Oranienbaum.
Jacob Bozenhardt, his wife Maria [widow Hunt], and [step-]children (Georg [Hunt], age 8; Anna [Hunt], age 5) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Siblings Georg Hunt (age 8) and Maria Hunt (age 5) are recorded on the 1767 census of Cäsarsfeld in Household No. 2 along with their stepfather Jakob Bozenhardt. Another note on the 1767 census records that the Hunt children and their stepfather relocated to the colony of Basel in 1768.
The 1767 census does not record from where the Hunt children came.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Hunt family among the Volga German colonies.
