John Hunt was born in the early part of the 16th century (approximately 1520). He is the son of Roberd and Alys Hunt. He married 1) Jone, then 2) Gillian. They lived on the Green in Cropredy, and John was a husbandman.
He and his first wife, Jone (and later his second wife, Gillian) lived on the Green, and farmed 3 1/2 yardlands. One yardland in Cropredy was about 32 to 34 acres divided into arable land, meadow, and greensward. Land in Cropredy was farmed in strips. The Hunt's house was built in Hornton stone, a local golden-colored stone. John in 1587 had a Hall, upper chamber, second chamber, and kitchen. The Hunt’s farm was prosperous: “Hunt’s farm was the third largest at that time and they could afford more than most.” The Town of Cropredy; Pamela Keegan John died and was buried in Cropredy in 1587, leaving a will and inventory of his property. . “When John died in 1587, only half of the house was given in the inventory for Justinian and his wife Elizabeth, who was not a local girl, lived in the rest. After 1586 John’s second wife Gillian would exchange accommodations with her step-son, but she did not stay for long, apparently preferring to live elsewhere.” The Town of Cropredy; Pamela Keegan
