Sources

Specific lineages in this family have been treated many times, notably by John J. Currier, Henry Lunt and Some of His Descendants, History of Newburyport, Mass., 1764–1909, 2 vols. (Newburyport, Mass: author, 1906–9), 2:503-61, and by Walter Goodwin Davis, The Ancestry of Abel Lunt, 1769–1806, of Newbury, Massachusetts (Portland, Me.: Anthoensen Press, 1963), 3-41. Davis, in particular, provides perhaps the finest introduction to the first four generations of the surname in America, and also speculates on a possible English origin.
