These are the sources I am using:

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

My advice: don't use user-submitted trees from Family Search. Use actual sources. Start with Essex archives. You will find:

William Hunt of Gosfield, Feb.1541/2
https://www.essexarchivesonline.co.uk/result_details.aspx?ThisRecordsOffSet=1&id=146703

Will of William Hunt the elder of Gosfield, yeoman, 1552
https://www.essexarchivesonline.co.uk/result_details.aspx?ThisRecordsOffSet=2&id=489530

I didn't look at the will, that needs a subscription. But William Hunt was not a senator, didn't have a middle name, and died in Essex.
