I am not researching this family, just entering information I hope will be helpful.I recently purchased a book from Heritage Books, "What Did They Mean By That? A Dictionary of Historical Terms for Genealogists" by Paul Drake.I do not know if this man is a member of your Hunts, but the book contains "A ledger sheet setting forth the charges of William Hunt of Sussex County Virginia, with the Belsches Bros., merchants at Cabin Point.The account is for the period March 14, 1761 to June 15, 1762 - 15 months - and it reveals typical purchases of clothing items, material, and sewing supplies by a wealthy family of that distant time."
The author has circled and typed the names of of over 20 items.
