After reviewing all available data, this John appears to be of the right age and place to marry Tracy Bland.

Marriage of John Hunt to Tracy BLAND.

Tracy Bland was born c1760 (ref her death cert). The Bland connections are very hard to find. There are 3 baptisms of interest in the neighbourhood: Sarah Bland bap 16 Jan 1754 at Chatham, dau of William Bland & Sarah; Elizabeth Bland bap 21 Mar 1756 at Chatham, dau of William Bland & Sarah; Jane Bland bap 29 Feb 1760 at Frindsbury, dau of Thomas Bland & Mary (all in Ancestry, no images).

John and Tracy's marriage was 3 Aug 1781 at Saint Nicholas, Rochester, Kent (ref IGI). Witnesses were Ann Meager & Thomas Harris (ref image, seen 2018).

John Hunt was a Shipwright at the Chatham naval dockyards, and he died before January 1840. No records of a death of John Hunt at Medway dist are found in FreeBMD from Sep 1837 to Mar 1840. His burial not found (not the 1829 one).

Death reg of Tracy Hunt Mar qtr 1840 at Medway dist (ref FreeBMD).
The death certificate reads as follows:
Registration District Medway / 1840 Death in the Sub-District of Gillingham in the County of Flint / No. 432 / Fourteenth of January 1840 [illegible possibly 1pm] at High St Chatham / Tracy Hunt / Female / 79 years / Widow of John Hunt Shipwright / [Cause of death] Old Age / [Informant] The Mark of X Maria Hunt Present at the Death High St Chatham / [Registered] Sixteenth of January 1840 / [beautiful but illegible signature] Registrar (ref Thomas Burton 2012 from her DC).

Tracy was buried 19 Jan 1840 at St Mary's Chatham, abode Chatham, aged 79 (Ref burials in the parish of Chatham). This church is lovely but derelict, on the short road from High Street to the Dockyard. Very few of the graves, ones between the church and gate, are marked, but there is no sign of graves, though there must have been hundreds. (Note from Thomas Burton)
