Note

Lynn Calvin: my Rebecca M Hunt, who is 19 years old and on the 1850 census and marries a recently widowed Moses Leonard Anderson in New Jersey in July of 1850
Your webpage shows her as the daughter of Theodore Hunt and Katherine Snook. (Rebecca did name a child Theodore).
I find a Theodore Hunt married to a Catherine in the 1850 census and they are also in Princeton, NJ (pages 51 and 58 so they are living reasonably close)
The children listed for the Theodore Hunt and Catherine in 1850 are
Andrew 16
Margaret 14
a 10 year old female whose name I can't read
"???ah L" is my best guess.
Elizabeth 19¹
