Foster: Hunt, Thomas, s. Thomas, of Yeovilton, Somerset, pleb. Christ Church, matric 24 May 1715, aged 18, BA 6 Feb 1718-19; fellow Hart Hall, MA 1721; (Hertford College) BD 15 Mar 1743-4, DD 8 May 1744, Laudian professor 1738-74, and Lord Almoner's professor of Arabic 1741-8, regius professor of divinity 1747-74.
The coincidence of death dates makes most of these linkages plausible. The link between the rector of Bix and the vicar of Sherburne seems likely given the proximity of the livings and the fact that both were in the gift of the earl of Macclesfield.
