Disputed Origins and Associations
- "Robert Best of Sudbury, in his will dated 21 June 1654, probated 21 March 1654/5, remembered William Hunt and the latter's five children-- Samuel, Nehemiah, Isaac, Elizabeth and Hannah. Robert referred both to William Hunt and to William's son Samuel as his 'cousin.' [NEHGR 17:155]. Some think that William Hunt's first wife was a near relative of Robert Best. However, although she was then living, Best left nothing to her, and it was William himself whom he called 'cousin.' The exact relationship is not determined, but as 'cousin' was often used for nephew, it is possible that Best was uncle of William Hunt."[1]
- Elizabeth Best is not shown by reliable sources to have been the mother of Ann _____ m. Thomas Wood. This association has been disputed by WikiTree collaborators since at least 2019 and is being severed in 2021.
- Elizabeth Best is not shown by reliable sources to have been the daughter of Jane Robinsonne (1587-1607). This association was disputed by WikiTree collaborators and was severed in 2022.

This association was questioned in 2019, with no response. Two months ago, it was disputed by a comment to Ann's profile.
I will add the appropriate disputed associations comments to both profiles and then sever the relationship.
Thank you again.--Gene
Ann's profile is PPP. Might a leader step in and sever this relationship. Thank you, Gene

I haven't found any record for a Robert Best, christening of William Hunt, or children/burials for this couple in that parish. Those names are just a little too common to be certain without some supporting evidence.
