Mr. Gulick,
In my years of pursuing local history and genealogy, I've come across Gulick connections a few times.The one that comes to mind is Alexander Gulick in Princeton who was the executor for my kinsman Elijah Blackwell, whose farm was later the Snowden farm, the lane being Snowden Lane.
The Hunts were also a numerous family, beginning with Ralph Hunt in Queens County Long Island who died there in 1677.He had four sons and two daughters.The daughters married Phillips and Hart, and their descendants were legion in Hunterdon and later Mercer. Sons of each of Ralph's sons came to Maidenhead and Hopewell.Ralph Sr.'s son Capt. John has a descendant Nathaniel in his line, son of Wilson Hunt, whom I think owned the Glencairn property including a grist mill on the property with Nathaniel.I've got to double check the Winona Nash property map and index.Another son of Ralph Sr.,Edward - who remained in New York - had a son "London" Ralph Hunt who settled in Hopewell Township.There's also a Nathaniel in that line, and I had some reason that suggested him as well, though I don't remember what that was.
I have the birthdate for the son of Wilson Hunt, so if you have the birthdate for your ancestor Nathaniel, we can probably settle this easily.
