==Personal life==
Alfred Hunt was born of Quaker parentage, at Brownsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, the eldest child of Caleb Hunt (1786–1834) and his wife Rhoda Matthews (1789–1829), widow of Joseph L. Bartlett (1781–1810).〔Woodward, E. M. (1883). ''History of Burlington County, New Jersey, with biographical sketches of many of its pioneers and prominent men''. Philadelphia: Everts & Peck, pp. 270-271: "Caleb removed with his parents to Pennsylvania, married Rhoda, daughter of Mordecai and Ruth Matthews, of Baltimore County. They had seven children,- Alfred, president of the Bethlehem Iron-Works; Eliza, wife of James M. Walker, of Waterford, Va.; Ruth Ann, wife of Robert F. Roberts, of Alexandria, Va.; Mary H. resides with her brother Mordecai; Edmund, a miller, of Alexandria, Va.; Elisha H., deceased, was a merchant in Philadelphia; and Mordecai Hunt. Rhoda M. Hunt, born Nov. 23, 1789, died at Brownsville, Pa., Nov. 15, 1829."〕〔Weeks, Christopher, ''et al.'' (1984). ''Where land and water intertwine, an architectural history of Talbot County, Maryland''. Baltimore, Md.: The Johns Hopkins University Press, ISBN 0-8018-3165-2, p. 236: "WAKEFIELD Easton 1786; with additions; Private. Wakefield, an early Bartlett property, is composed of a late-eighteenth-century brick section..." "... a brick in the kitchen is dated 1786."〕〔Leonard, R. Bernice (1984). ''Bartlett and allied families, 1693-1984''. p. 116: "On Joseph's return to ''Wakefield'' the family learned that he intended to get married and in little less than a year, on 22nd day, 6th month, 1809, he was wed to Rhoda Matthews, daughter of Mordecai and Ruth Matthews, at Gunpowder Meeting House. After his marriage Joseph's health steadily declined and although he fought valiantly to stay with the wife and family whom he loved so dearly, he died 24th day, 2nd month, 1810 in the house at ''Wakefield'' where he was born. Joseph, son of Joseph and Rhoda Matthews Bartlett, was born 26th day, 5th month, 1810. Rhoda M. Bartlett married Caleb Hunt, 1st day, 5th month, 1816. They lived at Brownsville, Pennsylvania; Rhoda died there 15th day, 11th month, 1829."〕 Alfred Hunt is a grandson of Joshua and Esther Hunt, who had removed with their young family from Moorestown Township, New Jersey and settled near Brownsville in 1790.〔Hynes, pp. 23, 24, 51〕
Shortly after his father's death, Hunt and his six youngest siblings were brought by family members to Moorestown.〔Leonard, p. 116-117: Joseph Bartlett (1810-1868), Hunt's older brother, did not accompany his brothers and sisters to Moorestown. Prior to 1834 he had moved from Brownsville to Baltimore, Maryland.〕 Here they lived with Elisha Hunt, their father's brother, and his wife Mary Hussey Hunt on their farm.〔Woodward, p. 270-271: "Upon the death of his brother Caleb in 1834, Elisha Hunt disposed of all his business interests there, and in the spring of 1835, with his wife and the orphan children of his brother, returned to his native State, and settled on a farm near Moorestown, N. J., which he had purchased the year before."〕
Alfred Hunt died at Moorestown and is interred in the family plot at Colestown Cemetery, Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey.〔''Bethlehem Globe-Times''〕
