Robert Hunt window, All Saints' church, Old Heathfield Robert Hunt (c1568-1608) was originally vicar at Reculver in Kent, but was forced to leave his wife Elizabeth and their two children there in disgrace in 1602, owing to his wife's adulterous activities.
He moved to Old Heathfield where he was accused of having his own affair with his servant, as well as neglecting his congregation.
He was sent to the New world as Chaplain on an expedition of the London Virginia Company and settled in Jamestown, ( along with Capt. John Smith of Pocahontas fame) where he seemed to rise to the challenge, and was probably the first person to celebrate Holy Communion in the USA.
