INTRODUCTION.
While residing in Norwich, Conn., pome twenty years since, at the solicitation of
several of its older citizens, I commenced writing the history of that beautiful city.
A few fragments from my manuscript found their way into one of the city papers and at-
tracted the attention of Miss Caulkins of Xew London. As she had already collected
ample materials for such a history, and, indeed, had her manuscript in readiness for the
printer, at her request I cheerfully abandoned my attempt.
Durins: mv examination of the earlier records of the town I was struck with the fre-
quency with which the Huntington name occurred, and especially with the honorable
relation in which it stood. I had also preserved the names of my own immediate an-
cestors with the families in which they were found, so that I had already quite a list
as a nucleus of a Huntington genealogy. I then formed the plan of which the follow-
ing work is but a too poor execution.
In the Fall of 1855, I providentially met Dr Joshua Huntington (2444) of Brooklyn,
N. Y., in whose possession I found a collection of names, with year dates, which proved
a very great aid to me in locatmg the families and members whose names I already
had ; and also in introducing me into many families which I had not then found. This
list had been made after extensive travel and correspondence among the families regis-
tered during a period of several years ; and to its reliability, in the main, my own sub-''
sequent travel and correspondence, have furnished abundant testimony.
My friend and kinsman, Dr. Eliphalet Huntington (1386) of Windham, Conn., than
whom there is no more reliable reporter of musty records, also interested himself in my
enterprise and re-examined for me the earlier records of Windham, and thus corrobo-
rated or corrected my lists of the families of that town, so as to make the record doubly,
reliable — as nearly perfect as patient and discriminating labor can make it.
Then Enoch Huntington (1836) of Amesbury, cheerfully entered upon the task of re-
porting whatever the Amesbury records might testify respecting his ancestor, William,
an honored pioneer in the settlement of that part of Massachusetts. • And his record,
with that copy which Dr. Joshua of Brooklyn had previously made, gave me a full ac-
count of the earlier generations in that branch of the family.
X INTRODUCTION.
Besides these co-laborers in this work, I have received letters from more than three
hundred persons, whose names appear on my lists, or who are by marriage ccnnected
with us, and so interested in our genealogy ; and going still further, I have not hesi-
tated to call upon men of experience and discernment of character for their impressions
respecting several persons whose biographical sketches are briefly drawn.
Then, by travel, personally, or by throwing myself in the way of my kinsmen who
have traveled, by visiting them at their homes or drawing them to my own, I have
held personal conversations with nearly a thousand persons who are more or less clear-
ly related to the name, and obtained from them many of the incidents and statistics
found on these pages.
Besides, many an hour and week have I turned over the files of local newspapers,
the pages of town and church records, — spelling out from the almost effaced and well-
nigh undecipherable chronology of a rude age, the names and dates and deeds of the
earlier generations of my work ; while many an other hour and day have I spent among
the still and oftentimes expressive monuments of the dead — to learn what I might of
those whose forms I never saw.
Yet after all my pains taking, many omissions and errors no doubt will be found in
the work, — errors, incidental, mainly, to the nature of the work itself. In justification,
however, of my own fidelity and care, I may say, that where I could expect accuracy
I have frequently found myself deceived. I have been obliged in many instances to
correct the dates of birth, which parents have unhesitatingly given of their own child-
ren, by referring to the family bible or the town register ; and in some instances per-
sons have been in error regarding the dates affixed to their own names.
Yet I have felt myself at liberty, usually, to accept dates on the testimony of mem-
bers of the family to which the dates belong, as that of parents respecting their child-
ren, and brothers and sisters respecting each other. Such authority I have freely re-
ceived respecting the order in which the names occur; and in a few instances I have
taken the testimony of still more distant relatives, when it had a sufficient air of credi-
bility, either from what I knevr of the family reported, or of the reporter.
But no one who has not attempted the thing itself, can ever realize the care needed
to avoid mistakes, or the labor required for correcting them ; and whoever has made
trial of the task will, I am sure, grant all indulgence for the inaccuracies here found.
In regard to the arrangement of the families in the work I have followed what seems
to me to be the most natural and on the whole the most easily understood method.
Commencing with the common ancestor of the Huntingtons, I have, under the second
generation given his children, arranged, as accurately as I could, according to ages.
Commencing with the oldest of the second, I have in the third generation entered his
children, then those of the next in order through the entire list, proceeding in the same
order through all the generations. This makes a unit of the work — a single family in
each of the generations, all of whose members sustain the same relationship to the
common ancestor, though of very dissimilar relationships to one another.
The notation employed is also, as in spite of contrary reasons, I am obliged to think
the most simple and expressive. It has none of the perplexing complexity of that in
which the Roman letters indicate the number of each member in the family, while a
small index marks his generation. If the generation is indicated at the top of the page,
there surely is no need of repeating it ten or twenty, and even fifty times, as in some
genealogies, by as many indices as there are new names. The families are made suf-
I X T K O D U C T I O X . XI
ficiently distinct by the simple number and name and chief residence of its parents at
its head, in the middle of the page; and the dates of birth sufficiently attest the order
in which they come.
As to the scope of the work, I have been in this somewhat overruled by circum-
stances beyond my control. Originally intending to enroll all the descendants both
in the male and female lines of our common ancestor, I found two reasons in my pro-
gress to dissuade me from the plan ; first, the greatness of the work which would be
required, and secondly, the compensation for its omission in the genealogies of other
family names, of which the females in ours have been mothers. But while cutting
off nearly one-half of my list by rejecting the female line of descent, I added to my
original design what has cost me even more labor and care, — the changing of our fami-
ly genealogy into a Family Memoir — the latter design embracing a much fuller account
of the family than the other required. It is hoped thit the biographical sketches in
the work, necessitated by this change, will not prove either the least truthful or the
least entertaining i)art of it. They have been mainly writen under a great pressure of
other labors, and though they can lay no claim to elegance of style, they may at least
serve to clothe the else naked skeleton of our family frame with the healthy muscle
of a real and vigorous life.
And now a word as to the reason for such an attempt. From first to last, the work
has been to me both a duty and a delight. In its incipency the former feeling most
urged, and as it has progressed the latter motive has furnished the most potent and
steady stimulus to the endeavor. Our name, by common consent, has in all its genera-
ations been an honorable one. Of few could more good, or less harm, be said. It has
been well represented in all the industrial, educational, civil and religious movements
of a great people for two centuries, and the truth of history demanded the record of
this representation. Several attempts had been made to trace the record. Dr. Jo-
seph Huntington of Coventry, a member of the family as curious to learn of his kins-
men as he was to construct original theories in his sacred profession, made the attempt,
yet scarcely entered before he abandoned the field. Several Family Trees have
grown up under the constructive industry of other members of the family, yet have
been left to the spoiling touch of the elements and time. Joseph C. Huntington of
Norwich, later of New York city, had gathered a long list of names, yet did not pursue
the classification of them. Dr. Joshua Huntington, now of Brooklyn, had gone still
farther than any of these attempts. By extensive travel and correspondence he had
gathered, years ago, nearly all that was essential to a pretty full genealogicaUist of the
family for the first six or seven generations ; yet other duties have been in the way of
his completion of the work.
Such had beensomo of the heart-yearnings of the family towards some fitting family
memorial, when my providential labors in Norwich commenced. The purpose then
formed was delayed in its accomplishment by the urgency of professional demands
upon my strength and time, until the fall of 18.54. With a large school on my hands
requiring about eight hours of the day, I still found in the labor of collecting and ar-
ranging materials for the work, very pleasant though an expensive pastime for me. The
weariness of my labor has, however, been more than compensated by the delight which
its results have furnished, and if my labors shall prove acceptable to the large family in
whose behalf they have been performed, I shall certainly never regret the weariness
or the expense.
XII INTRODUCTION.
It has proved to be true in all these investigations, as was suggested during their
progress by an honored name in another noble family, that I have found " coming out
oftentimes with pleasant surprise, the light and the shade of many truly noble and love-
Iv characters."
Besides these inducements to undertake and complete this work, I have been from
the first sustained by the encouragement of those whose judgment I should feel proud
to record, as ample justification of all the labor and expense I have incurred. Names,
honored wherever known, and known wherever our tongue is spoken or read, have,
with singular unanimity, testified to the excellence and eminence of the family whose
record I have attempted to trace.
IIUXTIXGTOX FAMILY MEETIXG.
The oricrin of tliis deliijhtful meeting will be sufficiently exhibited in the
foUowiug reprint of the Circular which convened it.
F A M I L Y C" I 11 C r L A R .
Norwich City, December 30, 1856.
At a meeting of several gentlemen of the Huntington name, held at the
"NVauregan House, this 3()th of December, 1856, for the purpose of considering
the practicabiUty of securing a meeting of the Huntington Family in tliis
place ere long ; the Hun. Jodediah Huntington was called to the Chair, and
James M. Huntington appointed Secretary.
After a free expression of wishes and opinions, on motion of Wolcott Hun-
tington, the following resolutions and vote were unanimously passed :
Resolved, That we regard with deep interest and gratitude the extensive
diffusion of the Huntington name in this country ; and that we look upon the
widely scattered descendants of our fathers, as in some sort the members of
our own families.
Resolved, That it would give us great pleasure to welcome back to the
home of their ancestors and ours, so many of our name, with their descendants
of their names, as may wish to unite with us in the enjojTnent of such a re-
union.
Resolved, Tliat the tliird day of September, 1857, be set apart by us for
that purpose ; and that we hereby invite our kinsmen to meet with us on that
day. in grateful celebration of the precious memory of our departed, and in
joyous congratulation with each other, over the past history and the present
honorable position of the family whose name we bear.
Voted, That the Rev. E. B. Huntington, of Stamford, be requested to pre-
pare a Circular of invitation, embracing the action of this meeting, and for-
ward to our kinsmen.

In accordance with the above action, the folloT^^ng letter was j)repared and
sent out.
Stamford, Conx,, March 21, 1857.
I>1y Dear Klstsmex — It gives me great pleasure to be able to transmit to
you the preceding record. It expresses very distinctly the feelings and wishes
of our Norwich cousins, and wiU, I am sure, plead its own claim. It deserves,
what it wiU no doubt receive, a grateful response from very many of our
family.
I am at hberty to promise you oh the occasion of our meeting, an Historical
Discourse, a Poem, and such devotional exercises as may be deemed appro-
priate. These exercises will be held in some suitable place in Norwich Town,
commencing at 10 o'clock, on Thursday morning, September 3, 18.57.
From pledges given by several members of our family, both of the Hun-
tington and other names, I can also promise you a rich fund of reminiscence
and sentiment, for your instructioii and entertainment, during the hours of our
afternoon festival ; in which our Norwich cousins will see that ample provision
is made for our physical refreslmaent.
To avoid disappointment from irregularities of trains, you -wall do well to
reach the city as early, at least, as the evening of the day preceding our
public exercises. A committee will be in readiness to provide for you on your
aiTival.
To avoid, a,lso, needless delays and confusion, and to facilitate local arrp.nge-
ments for your entertainment and for our public exercises, please forward, at
the earliest practicable date, to James M. Huntington, Norwich City, Conn., a
list of such members of your family as may be expected to attend the meeting.
That list will also secure for you a readier introduction to other members of
the family.
Anxious to have the Genealogical Memoir upon which I am engaged, as
nearly complete as possible before our meeting, I shaU be greatly obliged to
you for sending to me, if it has not already been done, a complete list of your
family, with dates in full, of births, marriages and deaths.
May I ask of you the additional favor to extend this invitation to any mem-
bers of our family in your vicinity, whom, through ignorance of their residence,
I may have omitted.
Hoping to meet you and yours in our family circle at Norwich, and wishing
for you a pleasant and profitable season of communion with your kindred
there, on a spot hallowed ecpially by the affection and patriotism and piety of
so many of our dear ones gone ; and wishing, most of all, for you at length a
glorious re-union with them in the communion above, I am, beloved kinsmen,
in the bonds of a family whose study has only the more endeared to me its
name,
Yours, most affectionately.
E. B. HUNTINGTON.
In acceptance of the above invitation a large number of the family came
together in Norwich, on the third day of Sept. 1857. An organization of the
meeting was effected by the appomtment of the Hon. Jedediah, of Norwich,
President, for the morning, and the Hon. Ehsha, of Lowell, Mass., President
for the afternoon. Vice-Presidents — Hon. Abel, of East Hampton, N. Y. ;
Fehx A., Brooklyn, N. Y. ; Judge Samuel H., Hartford, Conn.; Ralph, Boston,
Mass. ; Randolph G. II.. New York City ; Hon. Edward, of Rome, N. Y., and
Edwin T., of Rochester, N. Y. James M., of Norwich, and Frank C, of New
York City, were appointed Secretaries.
THE FAMILY M E E T I X G . 11
At 10 o'clock, A. M., the family had assembled in the ilev. ^h. Ai-ms' church'
in Norwich Town.
In the language of the Norwich papers of that date, from which the following
record is mainly made : " It was indeed a memorable gathering of many mem-
bers from many States and lands, and pleasant recollections of the day and of
the re-union will long be cherished by those present. The number of the
Huntington name, or blood, gathered on Thursday, was probably not far from
500. At all events it was great enough to fill the lower part of the Up Town
Church full, wliile the galleries were crowded with citizens and strancrers,
attracted by sympathy in the (Hccasion. Among the distinguished persons
from abroad, we were pleased to notice Mrs. Sigourney, of Hartford, a deeply
interested spectator of all that was said and done."

We come not here with pomj) and plumed array,
Witli blazoned banners or with trumpet's blare,
AVith martial music heralding our way,
( >r caimoii booming on the startled air.
Nor yet on coiitr(Jversial errand bent.
Old mooted, maddening questions to debate :
A\'ith taunting tongue, and flashing eye, intent
On wordy warfare waged for Church or State.
In stillness gathering ; a kindred band
Of peaceful pilgrims to one common shrine.
With cordial clasp in this our fatherland.
And o'er ancestral dust, our hands to join.
We come, fresh scions from the honored stock
Of good old Simon, pilgrim, sage and sire ;
• ■ AVho, from a holier than old Plymouth's rock,
But hailed this promised Canaan to expire.
We have come back to this, our early home,
To seek loved friends, long severed from our side ;
And o'er our hearts thick-thronging memories come
Of youth's proud hopes, and dreams of life untried.
Some have come back, in loneliness to tread
The paths their feet have pressed in by gone years,
And in yon sUent city of the dead
To trace loved names, 'mid blinding gush of tears,
And some are here, with earnest wish to see
Scenes with life's holiest memories inwrought.
From legends learned beside the parent knee,

Or tales with home's heart music deeply fraught.
Kinsmen : well met ! tho' meeting but to part ;
Like stranger ships, o'er trackless wastes that stray ;
Each hails, " what cheer ?" with genial warmth of heart,
And prays, " God speed thee on thy landward way !"
So we, who meet to part, but part to meet
Where wild '• farewells" and partings never come,
Where each the cherished of his love shall greet
In the soft light of an eternal home.

They say we always love to roam
O'er every land and sea,
And find at last some other home.
New England, far from thee.
O yes ! our own forefathers came
Across the billows free ;
And we who share their honored name,
Share in their destiny.

While some remain, where, crowned with snow,
New England's hills are seen.
And crystal streams, with tuneful flow.
Make all her valleys green ;
Others have homes mid orange bowers,
In constant verdure drest ;
And others dwell where prairie flowers
Invite the sun to rest.

But who shall say, that we forget
This dear ancestral home.
Where oft our memories have met.
Our thoughts have often come ?
"\Mien by this call our hearts were stirred
As by some joyous chime,
AMiich long, long years ago, we heard,
In blessed childhood's time.

Here, where their ashes rest ;

Prayer, Rev. Daniel Huntixgtox, New London*.
This admirable prayer was promised, when written out, for publication \iith.
the other exercises. But after the decease of its author no copy of it could
be found. This is to be regretted, as it would have added greatlv to the value
of our memorial of that pleasant meeting. It was well said, by a gifted cler-
gyman who listened to it, that no word in it could have been changed for a
better. No petition needed to be added, and none that was in it could be
spared.

The name of Huntington.
Poem, Rev. Gurbon Huntington, Sag Harbor, L. I.
This Poem will follow the addresses of the Collation.
Of the Collation we can speak in the highest terms. It was a model Col-
lation, as from what we knew of the Norwich Cousins we had reason to ex-
pect. The Norwich papers said of it :
" The Old Court House never before witnessed so festive a scene. On the
imier wall at the end of the hall fronting the entrance was displayed in
conspicuous letters, the words, ' Kinsmen, well met !' The long tables which
lined the Hall on either hand, were spread with a beauty and a bounty which
vindicated at once the hospitahty and the taste of those by whom the feast
had been prepared. To enumerate the temj^ting viands, and other dishes,
simple and compound, sweetened and seasoned, flavored and flecked and
frosted, and fruits of every name and nature known to gastronomic palates
or nomenclatures, were a work of supererogation. Such a feast of fat things
might well inspire the ' flow of soul' which everywhere prevailed. AVhen full
justice had been done to all its nice things, the family repaired to the church,
where at two o'clock, the chair was taken by the President, Dr. Elisha Hun-
tington of Lowell, Mass."
In a brief but very cousinly speech, he congratulated the cousins upon the
felicities of this their first family meeting. After suggesting that the addresses
be mainly autobiographical, and also brief, he called up as first speaker :
Rev. Dan. Huntington, of Iladley, Mass., now in his 84th year, the oldest
member of the Huntington family then present. His remarks were listened
to with great attention, being made up of historical reminiscences and anec-
dotes of much interest.
Rev. Joseph Huntington Jones, D.D., of Philadelphia, followed in a short
speech, abounding in interesting facts.
Hon. AsAHEL Huntington, of Salem, next took the floor. He remarked
that it gave him great pleasure to be present and to take part in the proceed-
ings of the gathering. He approved of the suggestion which had been offered,
of their becoming better acquainted. We are, he remarked, a pretty large
family, and I don't know how we can better serve the purposes of such an
occasion than by each telhng his o\vti story, and as the ladies cannot speak for
themselves, we of the other side of the house must speak for them. My name
is Asahel Huntington, of the Christopher branch. My ancestors settled in
T II E F A 31 1 L Y M E E T 1 X G . 15
m
Franklin six generations back, and the estate which they originally purchased
has been in the family for the whole of these six generations.
Not an acre, not an inch has been alienated from the family — a good proof
of their industrious, steady habits. The original estate had 96 acres, and was
situated on the Lebanon road. Then it was a hard, rocky, sterile soil; now
it is an excellent estate of 200 acres. Another remarkable fact is that this
property has been in the possession of deacons up to the present generation.
They Avere men who looked to the future world as their highest good, and
satisfied themselves with a moderate portion of this world's goods. The
family for several generations have been members of the church, and officers
in it. Tlie estate for many years was occupied by deacons who were inn-
keepers, llie sign of the Seven Stars, which hung over that old house is still
preserved in the attic of a house near by. I may remark here that no Ilun-
tingtons have ever been tories. We have no refugees among us. We have
representatives from the Queen's dominions, but we have no tories. Well, as
1 was about to say, this old sign was to signify an invitation, cordial and
hearty, to the soldier-wayfarer from generation to generation. This was
before the days of the Maine Law, and, though I am a friend of the Maine
Law, you will recollect that our ancesters had no such law. They kept a good
article, and sold it with moderation and prudence.
]My father was educated at Dartmouth, under the care then of Rev. Mr.
Wheelock, who was by the way, a relative of ours by marriage.
He graduated in 1789, and was soon after made a minister at Topsfield,
where he had five children. He died in 1813. .After his death I went through
Phillips Academy, at Andover, and entered Yale College in 1815, graduating
in 1819. After graduation I studied law, and settled soon after in Salem,
Mass., where I have been ever since.
I was riding in Andover one ^lay morning last spring, along by the Merri-
mac — a river which has upon its banks as much associated capital as any on
the continent — there is Lowell, and Lawrence, Nashua and Concord and Man-
chester,— a river rich in scenery, and remarkable for its picturesque beauty.
A^'ell, I was riding along the banks of this noble stream at 6 o'clock in the
morning, and as I passed one house I noticed a man standing in the gateway.
I was just then thinking of this meeting. The individual in question was a
respectable looking man, and modest withal, and it immediately occurred to
me that he was a Huntington. I rode on till I came to some men who were
mending their nets, by the shore, and so strongly impressed was I with the
conviction that the man was a Hunting-ton, that I stopped and asked one of the
fishermen, if any Huntingtons lived in that neighborhood. '• This is one," he
replied, turning to a young man standing near, '' and you just passed one. up
by that house," pointing to the very man whom I had passed. I went to see
this man whom I knew by instinct, and found out his name was Moses Hun-
tington. I told him of this meeting, and he promised to be here.
It has long been a question whether the Sahsbury Huntingtons were from
Simon or not ; whether they were, as the doctors would say, sporadic or pure.
16 HUNTINGTON FAMILY 31 E M O I R .
It seems that the Sahsbury Huntingtons were there in 1643, and have been
there ever since. Tliis is the earliest settlement of any one of the name in the
country. The banks of the Merrimac, then, was the site of the earliest settle-
ment. I had some doubt on the point, as they were then Quakers. Now I
believe they are about half and half. It is an authenticated fact that one of
these Huntingtons had a license from the General Court to sell an article with
a queer name, called, I believe, sturgin, always provided that he would give a
bowl full to the judges at the beginning and end of each court.
I would state that my mother was a North, so that I am a Connecticut man
on both sides. My great grandfather was Dr. Hezekiah Lord, a celebrated
preacher of his time. He had in his congregation a certain woman who had
been diseased for some twenty years or more. She conceived the idea that if
she could hear a sermon from Dr. Lord it would cure her of her disease. The
Doctor humored the old lady, and went to preach her the sermon. His text
was in Isaiah xxxv. 3. " Strengthen ye weak hands, and confirm the feeble
knees." While he was yet speaking, the woman rose up and walked, and the
sinews and the flesh came upon her, and she was cured from that day. These
facts are abundantly verified. The discourse has been published. The name
of the woman was, I am jVst informed, Mercy Wheeler.
Permit me to say that I take great pleasure in being here, to sympathize in
the objects of this meeting ; to interchange greetings of affection, and more
than all, to manifest my respect, reverence and love for the founders of this
house. We come with great delight to this old homestead of our fathers, and
as inheritors of a common blood and a common name, we would gather about
the hearth stones of these old sturdy settlers, feast from the same board, and
drink from the same fountain. AA'e rejoice to come up to this beautiftd and
flourishing city, one of the chief ornaments of Connecticut, and here. Sir,
standing as it were, by the graves of our fathers, to meet the descendants of
this ancient blood and name. We are glad to come up here to Norwich — a
city founded by our blood and name, and built up and increased by large in-
fusions of the original stock. Those of us who have gone to other fields, may
come up here and find the name of Huntington honored and resj^ected. We
are proud to find such a home of our fathers. I would say that we hail you
all as kinsmen and cousins — all first cousins — and we are happy as one united
family — a common brotherhood — to mingle our loves and friendships in one
grand ovation of praise to Almighty God, for such faith and trust as have
marked our blood and name.
Standing here to-day, let us remember that we have a present and a future,
and it is required of us, as descendants of the Huntingtons, that we show the
same faith, the same truth, the same integrity of character, the same Christian
spirit as have marked the history of our race before.
Prof Fredekic D. Huntingtox, of Cambridge, Mass., was next called for.
He said that the difficulties were real in the matter of his making a speech. It
was not diffidence, for who could be diffiplent when speaking to one's own broth-
ers and cousins in the bosom of one's own family. He could not say that he did
THE F A M I L Y M E E T I X G . IT
not expect to be CcoUed on. Sundry letters and telegraphic despatches re-
ceived at his house, expressed in perfectly intelligible English, had effectually
dispelled any delusion of that sort. At the eleventh hour he had found it im-
possible not to come. As the time approached, the idea of being absent had
made liim more and more restless and uncomfortable, till at last his wife, —
whom he had left that morning watcliing the movements of the very tenderest
and freshest offshoot of his branch of the Huntington stock, — could no longer
tolerate so uneasy a housemate, and begged him to be off. In fact he had felt
a good deal like a boy away from home on Tlianksgiving Day thinking what a
merry time all the folks were having at dinner. But although he had come
with an eager appetite and all possible speed, he was sorry he had not arrived
till the dinitfr. — which was '• Cousin Y.. B's" Oration, — was over. And now,
in answering to the President's call, the real perplexity was not in saying
something, but in deciding what not to say. To tell the truth, on the way
down in the cars he had thought over two or three different speeches that
might be made according to circumstances, but the circumstances were too good
for the best of them. He remarked that on these historical and genealogical
occasions, which are hapjiily multi])lying throughout the country, it was de-
sirable that every speaker should have some knowledge of the records of the
Past, so as to contribute something to the accumulating treasure. But here,
said he. I must confess a sad deficiency. Nobody admires or respects that sort
of accomplishment more than I do. Indeed, I probably honor it all the more,
for the feeling of wonder and mysttry connected with it. Nature has made
me up on such a parsimonious plan, and has so utterly denied me the faculty
for tliis sort of science, that a man like '• E. B." here, who knows everything,
root and branch, about a huge, ramified, complicated tribe spreading the net-
work of its relationship oter a^ continent, able to disentangle its twists and
double-twists, affects me like some fabulous prodigy, with a touch of the su-
pernatural upon him. In this most useful and mysterious learning I am ut-
terly helpless. I never planted nor pruned a genealogical tree in my life. I
never botanized \i\K>ri one nor ate the fruit of one ; I never planned nor copied
one. I don't know the names of my grandfather's seccmd cousins, nor what
pleasant people their nephews courted, or their nieces were courted by and
kindly consented to marry. I am shamefully behind these capitally-informed
and richly-remembering kinsmen, who have spoken so surprisingly in your
hearing. I cannot think up any such remarkable phenomenon among my
ancestors as an honest lawyer, — like cousin Asahel, or any disinterested doc-
tor like cousin Elisha ; I can recollect no Christian deacon, on my father's side,
who sold good liquor to his neighbors, and no uncle of his who grew genial
over a golden punch-bowl. I am not even perfectly sure whether I am
descended from the first Simon, the first Samuel, or the first Christopher.
Enough for me to beheve without misgiAring that the Simon was a " Simon
pure," the Samuel a son of many prayers, and the Christopher as worthy to be
canonized as St. Christopher. Nor is all this ignorance to be excused on the
plea of the absence of advantages. My father took untiring pains with me ; there

he sits now doubtless mortified with my stupidity ; he has imt the whole story
into my hands and into my ears again and again ; but I believe if he had used
up a whole birch-tree on my body he would never have got the family-tree
into my head. One fact, however, among other minutiae, I do recollect, and
never mean to forget. Tracing back the Hue through my father's father, a
brother of one of my ancestors is found to have been a Captain of the Life-
guard of Charles the First. Going back on the hne through my father's
mother we come to Scrope, the Regicide ! By that singular political diver-
gence, I find I have in my veins blood intensely Tory and blood intensely
AMiig ; by which mixture of the conservative and radical forces, — the extremes
of loyalty and revolution, — I hope to keep myself a tolerably correct Republi-
can,— reverential toward the old, in the Church and in the State, and yet not
inhospitable in welcoming the new. But if any of you imagine that I have
the least pride in a connection with a royal escort, or any disposition to culti-
vate aristocratic reminiscences, I shall take particular satisfaction in saying to
you that my grandfather was a blacksmith as well as a farmer ; and that he
wore no coat-of-arms, but rather, when he was about his business, arms with
no coat on them at all. Putting this with the fact that he hved honestly and
died in the fear of God, and that he encouraged his son Dan, my beloved fa-
ther, to become a preacher of the Gospel of Christ, have I not reason to be
content with the '' blood ?"
Most cordially, Sir, do I join in this festival with you, — glad to grasp the
hands of so many male cousins, and to offer to those of the other sex such af-
fectionate and respectful salutations, as shall be most agreeable and proper !
And by the way, let me just here mention an anecdote to illustrate the great
value to all persons, whether Huntington or other, of cultivating in early hfe
a legible hand-writing, an art to which I make, for the best of reasons, very
humble pretensions indeed. Some weeks ago I was writing to a cousin by
no means ill-favored or ill-tempered, and, alluding to this expected gathering,
expressed a hope that she would be here, observing incidentally that it
would be one of the advantages of so friendly and sympathetic a company
that nobody, howev* tedious, would be much criticised, and certainly not
hissed. Now, Sir, would you credit it, that in the awkwardness of my chirog-
raphy, she found tico-Iips instead of one on the first letter of the word, made a
k of the /^ and so wrote back to me that, for her part, she did not see any great
harm in it if near family relations should choose to kiss one another. I hope to
find this cousin is present, and that by some means or other we can come to a
full understanding and amicable agreement on that subject !
But, my kindred, there is a higher strain of thouglit than this ; and the .oc-
casion is worthy of it. AMierever human hearts meet and kindle and warm
as ours do now, the better elements in them must be moved. Nothing justi-
fies this assembly but high purposes and hallowed feelings. We have come
here, I am sure, to be made better men and women. — more faithful servants
of that Most High " God of all the families of the earth," whose grace and
goodness have brought us together, — more believing and diligent disciples of
THE FAMILY MEETING. 19
that Lord and Redeemer into whose name we have been baptized, — more ac-
tive and eftective members of that Church which we hope and pray may spread
its benignant shelter over our children and our children's children, — more in-
telligent interpreters and generous friends of the stirring age that has favored
our fraternal assemljling. Every group of relatives, every domestic circle, is
collected and classed in the mind and will of God to assist in the elevation and
purifying of the whole great Household of the Race, as each constellation is
feet in the sky above us to bear a part in the majestic harmony of.the Universe.
Let us be made more conscious than ever before, then, of our wider relation-
ship, and the sacred duties they bind upon us. Let not this meeting of our
family narrow our sym])athies, nor abridge our interest in those of all names,
colors and conditions, — in Mnn. — but extend and strengthen them. We are
more the children of our Heavenly father tlian of our earthly ancestors.
AVhat is htiinaii in our blood is greater than what is Hundnf/lon in it. AVe have
come here that we may go back with a heartier and more religious resolution
to our several scenes of work. If they should be scenes of suffering, we will
remeuiber that •' knowledge by suffering entereth," and follow on after him,
our Master, who " thro' suffering" tini.shed the mediatorial work given him to
do, and is " made perfect" in his redemption and intercessory office in the
Heavens. The whole nation "is alive with interests and thoughts that are
enough to arouse the sleepiest soul. We are not to be dreamers over dog-
mas, but workers among realities. We are to see to it, that in our public in-
stitutiont^, justice be wedded to love, — in our social life that we walk hand in
hand with charity. — that thus may appear new ameliorations on earth, and
new glories in heaven. The question at last will be not where tliis or that
man was born, but to what end was he born ; not of what name was he, but
of what spirit ; not what fortune did he lay up, but what treasure of holy liv-
ing and righteous fruit does he leave behind liim. AMiether there be tongues
they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge it shall vanish away. But faith
and hope and charity, after all our companies are scattered, and our places
are empty, shall abide, cla.sping their inmiortal hands, and uttering the eternal
praise of the Father, the .Son, and the Holy Ghost. And let all the people
sav, " Amen."
Rev. A. HuxTixGTox Clapp, of Providence, R. I., was then called up. He
said that his mother was from the Simon-pure Huntington stock. He grad-
uated at Yale, in 1842, and at Andover in 184.5. AVas settled for some time
in Brattleboro. For the past two years had been pastor of a church in Provi-
dence. '•! always revered," said the speaker, -the name of Huntington, and
I hope to retain some degree of that reverence. My highest idea of a man
was not taken from the scholar, the genius, or the commander. It was derived
from my earhest childhood, from that same Simon Huntington, who lived in
Hinsdale."
The speaker alluded in touching language to the early death of his mother
and the noble integrity of his father.
A letter was read by Rev. E. B. Huntington, from the poetess, iSIrs, L. H.
20 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
SiGOURXEY, giving many interesting incidents connected with the past Iiistory
of the family.
MRS. L. H. SIGOURNEY'S REMINISCENCES.
The upper, or old town of Norwich, Conn., was, in ancient times, decidedly
aristocratic. This aristocracy, not of wealth alone, but wealth combined with
honorable ancestry, and high moral and religious example, was principally
vested in two families : the Huntingtons and Lathrops. The former were the
most numerous, and of those branches which were located around what was
then called Huntington Square, my recollections are vivid, our own residence
being in that neighborhood.
General Jabez Huntington, the father of this distinguished dynasty, I
never saw, and presume he died before my birth. With the eldest son. Gen.
Jedediah Huntington, a patriotic and saintly man, and the friend of Washing-
ton, I was not personally acquainted, he with his family being inhabitants of
New London.
Judge Andrew Huntington, the second in succession, was a man of plain
manners and incorruptible integrity. His few words were always those of
good sense and truth, and the weight of his influence given to the best inter-
ests of society. His lady, a second wife, I belTeve, possessed an elegance of
form and address, which would have been conspicuous at any foreign Court.
She was especially fascinating to the children who visited her, by her liberal
presentations of cake and other pleasant eatables, or jvhich was equally alluring
to some, a readiness to lend fine books with pictures.
Colonel Joshua Huntmgton had one of the most benign countenances I
ever remember to have seen. His calm, beautiful brow, was an index of his
temper and life. Let who would be disturbed or irritated, he was not the
man. He regarded with such kindness as the gospel teaches, the whole human
family. At his own fair fireside, surrounded by loving, congenial spirits, and
in all his intercourse with the community, he was the same serene, and revered
Christian pliilosopher.
General Ebenezer Huntington w^as a noble specimen of the soldier and
patriot. I tJiink 1 have been told that he left College at the age of sixteen, to
join the army of our Revolution, and continued with it during the whole war
of eight years. The elegant manner, and decision of character, that are wont
to appertain to the higher grades of the military profession/ were conspicuous
in him, and unimpaired by age. He was the father of a nmnerous family, and
a gentleman of extensive influence.
General Zachariah Huntington was a model of manly symmetry and
beauty. He was tall, with noble features, a pure complexion, and a fresh
color upon cheek and li]). Though more intimate in his family than in that
of any of his other brothers, liis daughter being my schoolmate and friend, I
always felt afraid of him. To my childish fancy he seemed like one of the
chieftains of the old Douglass blood, who ruled the Scottish kings.
Wkli this remarkable brotherhood were two sisters, Elizabeth, the wife of
THE F A M I L Y M E E T I N O . 21
Col. John Chester, of Wethersfield, the mother of many children, richly gifted,
both in person and mind ; and Mary, the helpmeet of our excellent pastor, the
Rev. Dr. Joseph Strong. A mistress was she of the minutiae of that domestic
science which promotes household comfort and happiness ; plain in dress and
manner, condescending to the lowliest, and of so easy and cheerful tempera-
ment that her words were always mingled with smiles. In those days a min-
ister and his consort were expected to be patterns in all things to all people,
and the closest critic perceived in her only those quiet, unambitious virtues
that pertain to woman's true sphere, and a cloudless piety. Her husband had
erected a handsome parsonage within the precints of Hunt'uKjlon Square^ and
they and their children formed an integral part of those weekly social gather-
ings, which kept bright the chain of affection, and the fountain of kindred
sympathy. To be occasionally comprehended in these circles, and partake
their " feast of reason and flow of soul," which comprised always a most hberal
admixture of creature comforts, was accounted a rare privilege.
On such an occasion, I had more than once the pleasure of seeing the ven-
erable mother of that noble race. To young eyes she seemed a person of
extreme age, and probably surpassed fourscore.
It was beautiful to note how warmly she was welcomed, and what marked
and sweet respect was paid her by all her descendents. Her presence seemed
the center and crown of their enjoyments. Tenderly cared for and honored,
she dwelt under the roof of her youngest son, General Zachariah Himtington,
until her death, which I think was sudden, and from the effects of a severe
influenza.
lliis son, who superintended a mercantile establishment, as well as the cul-
ture of his extensive grounds, took great dehght in music. He possessed a
scientific knowledge of it, with a voice of great power and melody. A desire to
improve this unportant department of divine worship, induced liim at one time
to become the leader of our choir in church. This voluntary service was
appreciated by the people, and the labor connected with it, felt to be on his
part, both a condescension and a religious offering. When he gave out the
name of the tune, which was then always done in a distinct enunciation, and
we rose in our seats in the gallery, every eye turning to him for guidance, he
seemed, with his commanding presence and dignified form, to our young minds,
a superior being. One of his requisitions was imperative : that the female
portion of the choir should sing without their bonnets. That article of ap-
parel being then the antipodes of the present fashion, and formidable both for
size and protrusion, he affirmed not only intercepted the sound but precluded
striking the key tone with accuracy. None of us would gainsay his wishes,
and the simplicity of the times counted it no indecorous exposure. Neverthe-
less, there was sometimes, as is wont to be in more modern days, among those
who sustain the sacred harmony, a murmuring of discordant strings. One
young lady, of the Himtington name, though not a relative of his own, chanced
to take offence, and was seen on a Sunday morning, making her way to a seat
in the body of the church.
II U X T I X G T O X F A M I L Y :M E M O I R .
"Come up to us, in the choir," said we.
"No; Zacheus may climb the tree alone for all me," was the reply.
It ought to be mentioned that this bad pun was by no means a fair expo-
nent of her native wit.
The only daughter of - this gentleman, Eliza Mary Huntington, my school
associate and sisterly friend,' returns to my heart, through the far lapse of
years, as I gather these reminiscences, and claims a heart tribute. Full of life
and spirit was that beautiful girl; earnest in her studies, and in the recesses
for play, our leader. In the vigor of a fine constitution, she exulted in all grace-
ful exercises, and the sensation of fatigue was unknown to her. Together we
scaled the ledges of grey rock, with which our native region abounded, searching
for hardy plants, where the wild honey suckle first threw out its bright, pink
banner. In the evening we sometimes met and repeated to each other the
lessons for the next day, knitting at the same time, with primitive simplicity,
our own stockings. As the years of school fled away, and youth ripened, her
beauty assumed a more tremulous delicacy, as though health might not be
firmly rooted. Watched over like a fair rosebud was she, by the stately father,
the doting mother, and two fond brothers, with the idolatry of affection. They
would not that the winds of heaven should roughly visit her. She was early
married, and removed to the city of New York, Early, too, was she trans-
ferred to that home, where they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but
are as the angels of God. It is doubtful whether the mother, whose life was
especially garnered up in this daughter, ever surmounted the efiects of her
loss.
The following lines, in a description of the burial ground in that vicinity,
have reference to this lovely lady :
And is it so,
That to my place of birth, where every germ
Of hope was planted, I may never coTtne
But grief chastise the joy V AVhen last the morn
Spread forth her purple robe, I sought a friend.
Who on my cliildhood and my youth would smile
With affable regard, cheering a heart
That often sighed in lonehness. Fair plants
Still decked her garden, but she was not there
To nurse their sweets. Her well-known mansion rose
In wonted hospitality, but she
Welcomed me not.
Ah ! does that gentle head
Kest with the ancient of thy noble house,
In the tomb's silence ? Many a faUing tear
Answers my question from the sons of need,
Whom hungry, thou hast fed, — uncovered, clothed,
And sorrowing, comforted.
THE F A :M I L Y MEETING. 23
With silent course,
Unostentatious as the heaven-shed dew.
Thy bounties fell ; nor did'st thou scatter gifts,
Or utter prayers with pharisaic zeal.
For man to note. Thy praise was with thy God.
In that domestic sphere where Nature rears
Woman's meek throne, thy work was eminent:
Nor breathed thy goodness o'er cold, stoic hearts. '^
W^hat gentleness was thine — what kind regard
To him thou loved'st — what dove-Hke tenderness
In voice and deed. Almost .disease might bear
Its lot without repining, wert thou near
Beside its pillow, or around its couch, ■
Like ministering angel.
Scarce had Spring
Which shed its damp dews o'er thy daughter's grave.
Returned, ere thou wert waiting to ascend,
Like her, to that bright host, whose ceaseless harps
Hymn the Redeemer. She was as a rose
Gathered in loveliness, 'mid perfumed flowers,
And warbling birds of love, yet drooping still
For the pure breath of that celestial clime,
AMiere Summer hath no cloud. She with firm hand
Grasped the strong hope of everlasting life.
And thou, in trembling, yet confiding trust,
Did'st dare the waves of Death's tempestuous flood.
With the same anchor.
So, ye are at rest,
"NMiere sorrow comes not. Is there room for us,
In the same mansion, when the Master calls ?
L. IL S.
Hartford^ Conn., May 1, 1857.
After the reading of the letter, the chairman called up,
Hon. Joseph T. Buckingham, for many years editor of the Boston
Courier.
Mr. B. said — He was sorry that he had been called for to speak before the
assembly, for he did not profess to be a public speaker ; but his sorrow on this
occasion was somewhat alleviated by what had been said by the gentleman
who was first on the platform, namely, that the speeches ought to be short
and to consist chiefly of personal history. He was reUeved from much, even
of this requirement, by ha\'ing been silly enough, a few years ago, to publish
his own personal memoirs, and he was now vain enough to suppose that some
of the audience before him had seen the book. But to comply with the gene-
ral requisition, he would state that he was born in the neighboring town of
t
24 n U X T I N G T O X F A M I L Y M E M O I R .
Windham, that his fatlier was a shoemaker, said to have been a pretty good
one, and that his mother was Mary, the daughter of Solomon Huntington,
who was, he believed, the third in descent from the original settler of the name
of Huntington in that town. Mr. B. said his father, by a connexion with the
commissary department in the war of the Revolution, was involved in losses,
or in what was no better, the possession of some thousands of dollars in
continental bills, which, at his death in 1783, were worth hardly enough to
pay his funeral expenses. Of himself, Mr. B. said he had no personal history
which it were not tedious to relate, and would be more tedious to the audience
to hear. He was no scholar, had no college adventures to relate, was not a
graduate of Harvard or Yale. His diploma came from an institution more
ancient than either of them. All his learning except the simple elements of
reading and writing, was obtained in a printing office, an institution originally
contrived and established, as was generally supposed in the early period of
its existence, by the Devil and Dr. Faustus. From one or both of them he
must derive his claim, if he had a claim, to an honorary degree. And what
further, said Mr. B., can I speak of here ? I am not a doctor, Mr. Chairman,
nor a clergyman, nor a lawyer. I have had, as an editor, something to do
with politics ; but that is here a prohibited topic, and my political sentiments
are generally well known. Readers of poUtical newspapers will not need to
be reminded that I have often been reproached, and sometunes honored, for
having said, some thirty years ago, that I was wishing to live and die in the
faith of the Hartford Convention. I still subscribe to that declaration ; and
allow me to say, Mr. Chairman, that neither you nor I, nor any one present
will ever see a convention of better men, or purer patriots, until we meet the
" General Assembly of the Church of the first born," and mingle with the
" spirits of the just made perfect." Since all fJie gentlemen who have prece-
ded'me in these desultory speeches have illustrated their ideas by the relation
of anecdotes, permit me, I\Ir. Chairman, to relate one, and to leave the applica-
tion of it where it justly belongs, to my own roving remarks. In one of the
country villages of Massachusetts, at the commencement of the Revolutionary
war, the minister of the parish was rather lukewarm in the cause of the T\Tiigs
and went so far in justifying Tory principles that, to avoid a coat of tar and
feathers, he deemed it expedient to leave his pulpit and make a temporary
residence " in parts unknown." At the close of the war he returned and was
desirous of renewing his clerical services, but he found that the people would
not receive him. He remonstrated after this fashion : " Did I not preach the
true doctrines of the Bible ; did I not hold to original sin, total depravity,
election, regeneration ; didn't I hold to the perseverance of the saints, the
everlasting punishment of the wicked and the eternal haj^piness of the right-
eous ?" " Yes," said one of the deacons, " but there was one thing you didn't
hold, and if you had held it you might have held your place as our minister
till this time." '' And pray what was that ?" " You didn't hold your tongue."
Hon. Samuel Howard Huntlxgtox, of Washington, D. C, was next
called for.
THE F A ^I I L Y MEETING. 25
He thought that he should have been excused from speaking. "While up,
he would like to allude to a tradition of the family. We have a tradition that
our ancestors were Puritans, and that there was among the brothers of our
forefather Simon, one who was in the King's lifeguard. Now I woidd not
make any comjjarison between roundliead and cavalier, between the Hartford
Convention and my other political faith. The Huntingtons are always on one
side or the other, and, furthermore, I believe they always act from their sober
convictions of judgment. I have nothing to say of myself. My education was
received at Yale College. My father was engaged in the Revolution, and was
one of the unfortunate inmates of the Jersey prison ship. I have been grati-
fied to learn that our venerable friend. Rev. Dan Huntington, began life in
my father's family. The speaker returned thanks for the hospitality of the
Norwich friends, and expressed an earnest desire to unite in some monument
worthv of the Huntint'tons.
Hon. AsAHKL HuxTiXGTox, of Salem, wished to introduce a few resolu-
tions. He remarked that a wish had been expressed to erect some memorial
worthy of the Huntingtons. It became us, said he, to do something here which
shall mark the event and be alike creditable to us. It is known to most of
you tliat one of our name has been engaged for some time in writing the fami-
ly history, and has been thus far successfid. He has been at great expense in
getting it up, and has it. I learn, nearly ready. We desire that it shall be
forthcoming. The best way to mark the event we celebrate to-day is to re-
solve that tliis work be published, and that, as a part of it, there shall be pre-
pared an account of this celebration. I would, therefore, Mr. Chairman, move
the following resolution ;
Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed who shall have charge
of the publishing of the family history, together M'ith a record of this day's
proceedings, and that said committee have power to raise funds by subscrip-
tion.
After being amended to read, '* who shall co-operate with Rev. E. B. Hun-
tmgton in the publishing of the family history," &c., it was adopted, and the
following gentlemen were appointed such committee : Jedediah Huntington,
of Norwich, Asahel Huntington, of Salem, Mass., and Ralj^h Huntington, of
Boston, Mass.
The following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
«
Resolved, That we rejoice in this opportunity of coming up here to this
early home of the founders of our house and family, and of uniting with our
kinsmen and cousins inhabiting these homesteads of our fathers, in this great
famOy party, where we may become acquainted with each other, draw closer
the ties of affection and blood, and all join in testimonies of respect, venera-
tion and love for the memory and character of a common ancestry.
Resolved, That we who have gone out from these ancient domains of our
name and blood, and have now returned to joiu in this family festival, desire
to express to our kinsmen and cousins here, our especial thanks and gratitude
for their kind and generous reception, and their most grateful hospitalities,
4
26 H U X T I X G T O N FAMILY MEMOIR.
and to say to them, one and all. that we shall leave with them, on our depart-
ure, a record of our names and residences, and shall all be most happy, here-
after and always, to reciprocate their hospitalities, and to recognize at all
times, the obligation of blood and kindred in our several homes and family
circles.
Kesolved, That for the able and most interesting Historical Discourse to
which we have this day listened, our thanks are eminently due to the author,
and are hereby rendered.
Eesolved, That all of the name and blood are under especial obligation to
the Rev. E. B. Huntington for his laborious researches in tracing out the de-
scent and genealogy of our family ; that we desire to express to him our
thanks for his labors, and to manifest, by substantial tokens, our appreciation
of his services in preparing the way for a pure and accurate family history.
After disposing of this business, short addresses were made by Rev. Joxa-
THAx Huntington, of Nashville, Tenn., Hon. Abel Huntington, of Long
Island, and Rev. Ben.jamin S. Huntington, of Aston Ridge, Pa.
A vote of thanks was returned to the singers of the day, and a vote passed
that the next meeting of the family be held in fifty years.
Parting Hymn. — Authors of hymn and music, the same as those of open-
ing hymn.

'T was only this morning in gladness we met,
And the thrill of that meeting how can we forget !
'T was the coming of children, their portion to claim
In the measureless wealth of a lono; honored name.
o
How swiftly have fled all the moments to-day,
And the shadows of evening forbid us to stay ;
But a lifetime we 've lived in the scenes of the past,
As their far-shining glory around us they cast.
3.
Our hearts to this spot through the future will turn,
"\Miile thoughts of the past in our memories burn ;
And then in the present we '11 strive for a name
Not wholly unworthy our ancestor's fame.
4.
The homes that now miss us are pleasant and fair,
And those who are dearest are waiting us there ;
But kindred and friends I who are met with us here, —
Ye, also, for ever, for ever are dear.
5.
We knew when we met, that we met but to part,
Yet O, how that parting will sadden the heart ;
THE FAMILY MEETING. 27
But the links that have bound us together to-day,
Farewells can not sever, nor ages decay.
6.
Farewell I let us say, as we scatter again
To South, or to North, or the blue skirted main ;
Each other in Friendship and Truth we will greet,
Whenever, wherever, however we meet.
Benediction. — By Rev. Dan Huntington, of Hadley, Mass.
POE:^!, by rev. GCRDON HUNTINGTON, OF SAG HARBOR.
Wedlock I fond source of pure relationship.
The foiintain-haunt of many a bUss, where throngs
Of tender dreams and shapes of happiness
Were by Creative Love designed to brood;
Wedlock I with mention of thy name, and thoughts
Of thy pure influences and concord fond.
Well may I ope this strain ; so that my verse
ShaU be, tho' graceless, like a stream that springs
AVhere sweet retirement is embowered 'mid blooms
AMiich breathe ambrosial odors. 'Round that bond
Which marriage ties with silken knot,
Heaven throws its sanction, interweaving it
As a thread of gold throughout the bond beloved.
Type of Messiah's union with His Church!
Comparison with holy lessons rife.
And teaching us how fond and pure should be
The union of the hearts which wedlock binds.
See'st thou yon river, that adown the vale
Flows on in majesty, wherein sufiused
The soft and blushing glory of the morning rests,
'Till wave and sunshine-richness seem dissolved
Into one stream of light and power ! So, in one tide
The affection and desires should flow,
Of those whom hymeneal bonds have joined,
ISlincrlincf and glowing in harmonious stream.
See'st thou yon stars that seem in Heaven to meet.
Blending their rays in soft, unquenching beams ?
Across that azure sea above they float,
With even movement, keeping union e'er ;
The zenith finds them still in commune rapt ;
Their voice according and their light still blent.
When down the western hill they sink, and bid
The watchers, or the sky-charmed sage " good-night :"
HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR
So, Kke two voices, in some song of home,
"Where music lavishes her tenderest heart,
Should flow harmoniously the wedded lives.
With awe-struck recognition of His laws,
And of that mystic union to God's Son,
In marriage stainless and love-lighted tj^ed,
And with conviction of the holiness
Which unto wedlock's sweet alhance clings,
Our fathers, of the earlier days, did found
Our wide-spread, populous family.
And here th' eternal truths of virtue taught.
Here, doubtless, to the young, the parents sage,
The grand, ennobling doctrines of Heaven's word
Unfolded, telling to the listening soul
Of Him whose spirit everywhere doth brood, —
O'er the wild haunts and lonely rocky wastes,
As well as where bright civilization sheds
A flood of luxury and glory o'er
The populous realms of life ; alike where flows
The murmurmg chant of streams that ne'er
IVIirrored the snowy sail ; and where ships superb
In the crowded river's glassy depths ride deep,
By reason of the varied, glittering spoils,
"SMiich commerce from far distant shores has won.
Here breathed they to the curious mind of youth,
The story of the holy men of old,
"Wlio, in the childliood of our race, when yet
Narrow the river of corruption ran
Down Time's grave-margined stream, the turbid tide
Nobly resisted, and for Truth and God
Inscribed, and broad unfurled their vessel's flag.
The eventful course of years they told,
And marked their solemn lessons ; then the tale
Most woeful, yet most triumphing, they breathed,
Of liim who came to show how God and love
Could in a human heart reside ; and how
The fearful gulf which shuts us out from Heaven,
Could, by a cross of wood, be safe bridged o'er j
Safe unto all who walk by faith's clear star,
And in the love-lit path of righteous life.
Thus in the ear of listening youth they poured,
Doubtless, their solemn lessons, and the stamp
Pressed kindly on the yet impressible heart,
That with the noble form of virtue e'er,
It might conspicuous prove. And so

THE FAMILY MEETING. 29
In sacred virtue, and in industry,
The bases of our family renown and strength
They wisely, deeply laid.
I ween,
Like that mysterious tree Ezekiel saw
In fruity affluence and strength, that grew
Beside the sacred stream in Holy Land, —
So flourishes the tribe, or house, which strikes
The roots of its development in sound
And healthful virtues; while its veins
Are coursed by energy and living hope.
So swells rejoicingly the stream which springs
From broad-based hills that rise to seek the sky ; ^
And 'neath the solemn and the mighty shade
Of ample ranges, takes its seaward course,
"While beauty and prosperity smile bright
Upon the shore it laves.
Far o'er the seas,
From where the precious sunbeams light the marge
Of England's storied waters, mirroring
The crumbling pomp of feudal walls, and gleam
Of ivy-mantled towers and fanes ; from scenes
"Where still the genius of her power in strength
August and undecaying rules, they came,
Tlie edifice of civilization here,
And Truth's fair form to rear. The ranks of war !
Dreadful and sad the mission which they haste
Upon the fields ensanguined to fulfill !
How sad the light wliich shines upon the folds
Of Victory's banners-light, which dying hopes,
And the faint, stifling flames of sinkingr hfe
Cast with their final flickerings ; and which
The fires of ruin dart from crumbling seats,
AVhere power was throned, and from the ashy wrecks
Of art and beauty overwhelmed !
But fair, and wreathed with blessings is the brow
Of Christian civihzation ; and the end
Of her advance claims justly songs and praise.
Such were our father*s aims.
Yet should again
The august genius of our Freedom sigh
O'er her unmunities assailed, and call
For brave defenders, and for sacrifice, —
The martial genius of our slumbering sires

Would in their sons be seen to wake.
And as amid the incense flame of old,
Enkindled by Manoah, then sprang up
His manlike guest on angel wings, till then
Unseen ; so, when the altar-fires are lit.
Of liberty again, shall those you've deemed
Of common earth spring up aloft and reach
Tlie cloudless sky of freedom and of fame.
But to return :
Tlie angry waves,
— Storms of the desolate coast, — the snows
Burj'ing the inclement shores in ice and gloom,
Quenched not their courage or their faith. The dream
Of southerly skies and climes might fair
Have gleamed and glowed in the mind's atmosphere;
But bleak and wintry was the scowl which gloomed
Above the shores where tempests drove their bark.
Yet in the cold, forbidding day of grief.
They sowed the seed which, smiled upon of Heaven,
A^^len in the after glory of a summer-time
It sprouted, grew into flourishing beauty, bloomed,
And with a wealth of fruitage decked wide bouo-hs.
As oaks that wrestle with September's gales,
As rocks and crags that battle with the surge,
How many were their struggles with the force
Of wild and wintry tempests, and the stern
And yet enchanting rudeness of the land.
O'er which a wierd and dim romance reposed, —
Romance of its untutored race — the tribes
Of plmned and painted, swarthy men !
The charm
AVhich was breathed forth from those strange scenes,
And from the picturesque and novel life,
AVhich chronicled itself upon Time's chart.
In that wild realm of wood-girt hills and floods —
Solemn and mighty, and forest-shadowed plains,
AMiose silence civilization scarce had broken, —
This charm was then but as a flickering light
On the dark cloud of their experience,
"NMien want and war their feebly-guarded homes
Roughly assailed : Tliey nerved themselves for strife ;
As from the marble crude the sculj^tor shapes
The form of grandeur and expressive grace:
As from the hideous belchings of the mouth.

Of flaming mountains, and from desolate mines
The builder hews in rock and scoria forms,
"Wherewith he raises architectural grace,
The soaring pomp of beauty and of strength, —
So raised they a prosperity and name
Noble for virtue, energy and mind, —
Upraised it from amid their trials rough,
From elements in natural rudeness found.
The murky desolation of the sky
Grew bright ; a fair-brow'd day was born ;
Some still the plough drove in the rugged field ;
Some in the ranks of war, upon the plains
AVhere streamed his banner like a meteor red,
Drew for their country and their homes their swords;
And lit with the bright flashing of their steel
A path 'mid dark and thorny fields,
To victory and renown. Tlieirs was a share
In glory's harvest ; to the flowing stream
Of our prosperity and name, their sweat
And their life-currents added : blossoms fair
To the wreath of literary fame which binds
America's young brow, some added ; light
And " orient pearls" of wisdom sowing thick
In the rude soil of the western world of mind.
Into the enchanted palace and the flowery fields
Of dreamy romance, some our footsteps led,
Lighting the scene with graphic charm ;
AVliile art, soft-hued, be^Wtching solace,
Of this our stirring, dusty life, sweet art
Wove the rich web of the entrancing dreams
"\^'hich spell-bound some ; while science, too,
"With mien august, and face s}Tiimetrical
As Grecian beauty, or a l)oric fane,
Commanded reverence and love, and oped
Unto the awe struck, gladdened gaze of some,
Her gates magnificent, to the great world
Of God-stamped wisdom ushering.
But as the wheel of Time kept rolling.
And our numbers were increased,
To the wide "West, rich and glorious,
A young band their footsteps pressed.
Some enchanted, where the Mohawk
In blue luster seamed the mead.
Near the sparkle of its waters,
Tarried, built and sowed the seed ;
32 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR
There they prospering were gladdened,
With the joy of home and love,
Zoned with children as with flower-wreaths,
Till Heaven called of these, above,
Not a few, fond, lovely spirits
AYhich their gentle radiance cast
O'er the waves of life's s"v\dft river.
Leaving thus a hallowed past.

When their toils in State were done.

So, from th' western world's wide ocean,
From its heaving, restless tide,
Hither to their source our kindred
Gather thick from every side.
Hither they 've come, the aged, on whose sight
These storied scenes burst with affecting power ;
They gazed upon them in youth's rosy light ;
Now, in life's autumn and its soberer hour,
They greet the view again, and they are
Here by ancestral homes once more to rest.
AVelcome I ye aged ; in the name of those

"Welcome unto this spot where ceaseless flow
The quencldess light and stream of memory's mixed
But clear associations blest ; the same,
Though changed, this spot of olden name.
Death has l)een busy, as we have been told,
Gathering the ripened sheaves to granaries full,
Those radiant in young bloom beside the old
He has not shrunk with icy hand to cull;
Like miser antique, rich with ample store,
Whose pale and covetous clasp seeks more and more.
But here beside you, are the youthful throng
Of sons and daughters, relatives of ours,
And those maturer ; unto whom belong
The features of the lost; as in the flowers
And fruitage of this year, we see the type
Of those that in your youth were fresh and ripe.

Upon associations old, to memory dear,
Gladdened by visions of the vales and bowers

Lighting the scene with wit and blameless glee.
Here in this ancient spot may care that carks,
And all of bitterness and anguish flee ;
May love and friendship smile like Eden's morn,
And sweet and holy visions here be born.
May sentiments of pure and sacred worth,
Breathed forth from prayer from public thanks and praise ;
Or having, mid our private converse birth,
Like gems which 'mid its sand some stream displays ;
May such now find impressible our hearts,
And rich and lasting values here impart.
• Here at the ancient hive, may honey true.
And gathered from th' eternal fields of Truth,
With its encloying sweets our souls imbue ;
Than an elixir true of life and youth
More gladdening and enduring in its power ;
May sacred beams shine 'mid this festal hour !
So may this meeting favor our advance
In the glad ways of peace, and turn the thoughts
As doves unto the ark where brightly glance
The sunbeams of the love divine, and sought
Security of life and pleasure dwells,
And social joy forever freely wells.
In that communion noble opened here,
Through its pure, glowing spirit, may our hearts
A foretaste drink of that commune so dear
Which Heaven with its undying love imparts ;
The silver bonds of kindred now renewed,
May they there then all of our own include.
As flocks of the like plumage, scattered far
By harsh alarms, gather again on high.
Cutting with swift and eager wings the air
Till their glad voices mingle in the sky,
So, tho' afar dispersed by life's shocks here.
May we in heaven's pure air unite fore'er !
The ocean shall give back its sunken pearls,
And every deep the gems engulfed there ;
The silenced notes of music wake ; the world
Of harmony their strains shall know once more ;
The seed which, full of virtue fell to earth.
In a new growth to beautv shall have birth.

Yea ; even those timid, youthful thoughts that rose,
Rose and then fell, like fluttering, half-fledged birds,

No death-like darkness, if to holy words
And kindly they were joined ; those thoughts in might
Shall revel in th' unclouded realms of light.
But now 'tis fit this strain should know its close ;
'Tis fit this stream of humble thought should cease :
And yet, perchance, oblivion's thirsty sands
May not at once drink up this current spent ;
Since from a bosom stiiTed by love's pure breath
These parting words are voiced.
Ancestral homes !
Tender and beautiful and fond the light
AVhich floats around ye I Here afl'ections come,
Seeking the haunts and homes of buried worth.
As life's warm currents seek again the heart,
Or as the many echoes their one source.
Tombs of my sires, who in yon graveyard sleep !
There is a voice which in your sUence speaks :
Amid your darkness and your dust there springs
A fresh and lovely hght ; and forms beloved
Start up and beckon with engaging smiles.
Scenes eloquent and solemn ! ere I part,
Ere from my mind your picture floats to rest
Beneath a shadow for the while, may hopes
And strong resolves burn bright to meet
The sainted who have found the soul's sweet rest;

"With the image of *' the Sun of righteousness,"
Have risen at His calling, as the drops
Of dew that image forth the Sun,
Else at his summons to the glorious skies.
ADDRESS.
Kinsmen, Cousins all : —
You know how welcome you all are here to-day. The few words of our
cousin President, so heartily spoken, assure us that we are not far from home ;
and those other hearty words from our poet cousins, to which you have listened
with such delight, may well reconcile your hearts to this sacred place. You
have '' well met" on this pleasant day. This is for you a fitting place. These
exercises, so well begun, are the appropriate exercises of such a convocation
of cousins, as now assemble here. Children, with two exceptions, of the two
36 H U N T I N G T O N T A M 1 L Y JNI E M O I li .
jDioneers of our name, who so largely aided in subduing the savage wildness of
these old Indian haunts, and in training these hill-sides and plains to all their
cultured beauty, as you see it now ; children, with no exception, of that genial
hearted puritan, whose spirit and faith still vitalize those more glorious struc-
tures of civil, social and religious life, which are, even now, the only stable
support of your 'prosperity and joy; children, all, of such an ancestry, born
alike to such an inheritance, living equally under the bonds, and to fulfill the
sanctities of such co-heirsliip, it is well for us to meet; and here study together
our mutual privileges and duties.
I shall make no attempt to win your atttention to the theme which you
yourselves have assigned me. You expect to hear of the name which you are
proud to bear, or with which you are not reluctantly allied. Already ha^ve I
seen among you the glow of family affection, possibly of family pride ; already
have I felt the warm pulsations of a true Huntington sympathy here ; and
I know that you have called me to this service, because your love for the
name, your veneration for its great and good, your affectionate interest in its
extension, and your devotion to its present and future prosperity, have been
a part of the noble inheritance which the fathers left, ^lay this ennobling
sentiment of our birthright never be less our characteristic, than it is to-day ;
and God grant that it may never be alienated from us, though ancestral halls
and acres pass to other hands.
In treating of the Huntington family, in this country, I must touch, but
lightly, the many themes which the subject suggests, leaving much more un-
said than spoken. And if, with all my clippings and omissions, I am still
obliged to hold you a few moments beyond the length of ordinary discourse,
I must charge the offense upon your ancestors or yourselves. Had my kins-
men been fewer or less successful, I could, in fewer moments, have read to you
the story of their names and deeds. If the field they sowed were large and
of fertile soil, 'twere meanness in us to garner but small crops.
Omitting all speculations about that invisible law which works out family
character, preserving its identity even while so potently intermingling with
others; and all comparisons of the Huntington name, with that of many
another fiunily which elsewhere we should equally honor, let us pass to the
NAME itself, as the first point in our examination.
HuxTixGTON, like many of the modern family names in England, was
originally conferred, as a title of honor, on a faithful servant of a grateful
king. That tract of England lying between Cambridge on the East, and
Northhampton and Bedfordshires on the West, from the earliest times of which
we have any account, was celebrated for its extensive forests and marshes.
These were filled with all kinds of Enghsh game ; and for centuries after the
old Iceni and the Romans held sway over the territory, it was the hunting
ground of Saxon, Dane, and Norman, until disforested by the successive de-
crees of the second Henrv and the first Edward. Collins tells us, that this
hunting ground, called from its use, Huntington, was mainly noted for giving
names to several honorable famihes.
THE FAMILY 31 E E T I X G . 37
I shall not attempt to rehearse the long story of the Huntington peerage in
England, nor the repeated creations of nobles under this title ; I will, however,
indicate some points which may very likely lead to a discovery of our ances-
tor's connexion.
Before titles were hereditary in England, Siward, who had rendered import-
ant service in the restoration of Malcom Third, on the defeat of the famous
INlacbeth, in 1057, was honored with the officiary Earldom of Hunting-ton — the
first use. I think, of this name on record. He afterward became Duke of
Northumberland. A sou of his, Waldeof, mariied a niece of William the
Conqueror, and the daughter of this A^'aldeof, marrj-ing Simon St. Lys,
brought him the Earldom of Huntington, and had by him a son, named also
Simon. After his death she married David, brother of St. Maud, Queen of
England, and he became King of Scotland. By this David she had a Henry,
Earl of Huntington, who also had a son Simon St. Lys, the third of the name.
Though this third Simon died without heirs, and so lost the title, we have
gained this much from the record — the use of Huntington as a family name,
and of Simon itself, which it is our more particular want to find.
But to pass by other families, made noble, technically, at least for a short
time, we come to the Hastings family, in several of its branches, the bearers of
this title. Hastings, a family name, from Hastings, the famous battle field
between Harold and the Norman Conqueror, and so, in itself, a title of honor,
was still further ennobled with the added Earldom of Huntington. This was
first conferred by the Conqueror, upon Robert, portgreve of Hastings, one of
his fiiithful dispensators, or stewards. In his family the title continued down
to 1491, when, on the death of A\'illiam Herbert, it became dormant.
In 1529, George Hastings, who had married Anne, daughter of Henry
Staftbrd, second Duke of Buckingham, was created Earl of Huntington,
and in this branch it descended through eleven earls, to Francis, the twenty-
third from the portgreve. The ninth of this line was Theophilus, whose wife
was the eminent Lady Huntington. On the death of Francis, in 1780, the
Huntington estates and properties, now become quite extensive, passed over to
Lord Kawdon, husband of Mary Hastings. But in 1819, Hans Francis, fourth
son of Col. George Hastings, was created Earl Huntington, and took his seat
with his peers.
Not to follow this re-creation of Huntington peers, further, it is not foreign
here to say, that we have among us a family, whose resemblance to this last
named Huntington, is sufficiently striking to suggest, if not indicate a common
origin. It would not surprise me. if it shall be made clear, that the late Hon,
Roger Huntington, of this town, who you all know had no mean blood in hia
veins, drew his form, and features, and manners, from the same common
source, and that not many generations back, with this Hans Francis, the
founder of the present fine of Huntington nobility in the mother land. And
if he had such relationship, then all of us also have it ; for his great grand-
father's great grandfather was the common ancestor of us all.
But whether one or another of these noble names, or some unknown
38 H U K T I N G T O N F A M I L Y M E M O I R .
descendant of some half dozen other belted earls, gave name to our ancestor;
or, whether that name came from some still nobler origin, as that in which, by
universal consent, that gifted scholar and industrious historian, Henry, was
called the Henry de Huntington, from the city of his birth ; this much is true,
that noble blood must sometime have stirred in English veins, to have issued,
in spite of all opposing forces, in such results in the Huntington line, as we are
now enabled to collect.
Of our common ancestor, I can say but little. Indeed, 1 confess that my
knowledge regarding him, is much less than I supposed I had, when I com-
menced my study of his family. That he was a good and true Englishman,
and that his name was Simon, I have no reason to doubt. Tradition is posi-
tive and uniform respecting the latter, and both tradition and the character of
the family which he founded, agree in attesting the former. But whether he,
while in England, was a Norwich man ; or, whether he had spent his life in
amassing a fortune in the East Indies ; or, whether he ever gloried in the out-
lawry, and reveled amid the gathered booty of a Robin Hood ; or, whether
his brother, more loyal than himself, to the powers that then were, was a
special favorite of the first Charles, and the highest officer of his guard; these
are questions which I shall not now be able to answer. That he was a reli-
gious man, and that his religious and political conscience was closely con-
nected with his voluntary exile to this new world, seems more than probable ;
and when I shall succeed in decyphering the old records that may authenticate
these positions, I will gladly lay the solution before you.
But of the time and place of the immigration of the family I can speak with
more positiveness. It is not a matter of conjecture merely, nor yet of tradi-
tion alone. AVe have aji authentic record, whose worst feature is that it so
effectually contradicts our family tradition. AVe had been taught to believe,
that about the year 1639, Simon Huntington, with his wife and three sons,
came to the mouth of the Connecticut river ; that the father having come
within sight of the land died, and the family, burying him near the mouth of
the river, for twenty years remained, as if to guard the sleeping dust, in the
vicinity of his lonely grave.
This account, first stated distinctly, on the authority of the somewhat cele-
brated Joseph Huntington, D. D., of Coventry, and then pubUshed in several
works, whose general accuracy gave credit to the report, came to be regarded
as an authentic statement, and obtained, until recently, universal currency.
But thanks to a rehable record of an earlier day, we can now antedate this
innnigration by several years.
Two hundred and twenty-four years ago, fifteen years before tradition sup-
poses our ancestor came to this country, an English vessel freighted with a
band of gifted and resolute EngHsh emigrants, might have been seen nearing
the eastern coast of Massachusetts. On board that vessel was a family, con-
sisting of a father, not far from forty years of age, his wife, some years his
junior, and probably four sons. But from that family group the voice of
mourning would have fallen upon your ear. The father is suddenly struck
THE F A M I L Y :\I E E T I X G . 39
down and consigned to his ocean grave, leaving so prematurely his beloved
•wife and her helpless charge. A record of the Roxbiiry church, in the hand
writing of its pastor, the Rev. Johu Elliot, informs us of the subsequent
locahty of that mother and her sons. It states that " Margaret Huntington, a
■widow, came to Roxbury in 1633 : that she was a member of the church; that
she had — sons with her ; and that her husband had died on the passage, from
the small pox.
This is, undoubtedlv, the oldest record of the Huntington name in this
country ; and though brief, it answers for us, reliably, some questions, which,
but for it, must have been forever unanswered.
It settles the time and place of the immigration of our family — the year
1633, at Boston. It shows that our common ancestor was not permitted to
see this new world and aid in estabhshing and building up on New England
soil his name. It shows that by maternal care, rather, the infancy of our name
here was nurtured. It explains, in part at least, the absence of more satisfac-
tory records respecting the family for the first few years after the immigration,
the hand which should have penned the record having been cut ofi" by that pre-
mature death. The survi^^ng wife, amid the privations and perils of her early
widowhood in the new and exposed settlement, with her dependent sons, the
eldest yet several years below his majority and the youngest not yet five years
of age, would find little time, even if in her earher life she had been used to
it, to make any continuous record of their progress. And so that early story
of our feeble beginning here, its days of gloom and uncertainty, of exposures
and weakness, of slow unfolding yet of steady progress, was never written,
and we must ever regret the want of records, which the known condition of
immigrant famihes most fully justifies.
A few words will suffice to state all that is now known, possibly all that can
be known, of that mother and her family. Remaining about two and a half
years in Roxbury under the pastoral care of EUiot, she married Thomas
Stoughton, then of Dorchester, and with him, taking probably her youngest
three sons, she removed to Windsor, Connecticut, then a new settlement, where
she spent the rest of her life. It is no slight testimony to her position and
abilitv as a woman, that she secured such an aUiance. Her second husband
stood very high among the noble pioneers of the Connecticut settlement ; and
was often honored with posts which called for the highest qualities to be found
among the colonists. Under their united training, the three sons spent, proba-
bly, the last years of their majority. "NMiether the mother lived to see her sons
settled in life, neither tradition nor record now shows.
Of two of those sons I can say but httle. Wilham the eldest of them, doubt-
less, was probably left by his mother in Massachusetts. As early as 161:0, he
is found among the landed proprietors of Salisbury, and from him have de-
scended an unbroken hue of the name, in the vicinity of Salisbury. My pres-
ent list of those descendants, furnished almost entirely by our kinsman Enoch,

40 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
Of Thomas the youngest, probably still less can be said. In 1687, we find
him in Branford, one of the company who in that year emigrated to Newark,
New Jersey. He had married Hannah, daughter of the saintly Jasper Crane,
and was a man not unworthy of the brotherhood to Avhich he belonged, nor
of the Puritan family into which he married. Of his descendants, I have
been able to enroll only one son and daughter, two grandsons and one great
grandson.
Of the remaining two sons, Christopher and Simon, and their descendants,
we shall have more to say. The Huntington name in this land is, mainly,
what they have made it. Not far from four thousand Huntingtons, in America,
have been indebted to them for existence ; and the story of that succession,
from that day to ours, should furnish us, their children's children, many a
lesson of devout thanksgiving and grateful joy. Some of the leading points
of this family story, will now claim our attention.
Christopher, the elder of the two, having married Ruth, daughter of Wil-
liam Rockwell, of Windsor, after living several years in Saybrook, came with
the first settlers of this town, in 1660, and was assigned his home lot on the
corner, about a quarter of a mile east of where we now are. His family then
consisted of his wife and two infant children, to which were afterwards ad-
ded six others, making in all, four sons and four daughters. Three only of
the sons had families. Of this Christopher, it is abundantly attested by the
earliest records of the town, that he was a rehgious man, and that he enjoyed
in a high degree the confidence and respect of the colonists. We find him
equally employed, as a sort of pacificator, in those ecclesiastical, financial and
civil disturbances to which the new colony was exposed, and his success
evinces most desirable qualities, both of head and heart. He was the first town
clerk whose election is on record ; and, what is remarkable, he so well suc-
ceeded in training his descendants, that in a long line, even down to the year
1828, with but two short interruptions, they succeeded him in that office, the
last of these Huntington town clerks being here with us to-day.
Simon, the other of these two sons, before coming to Norwich, had married
in Saybrook, Sarah, daughter of Joseph Clark, of Windsor, and when they
reached Norwich, in 1660, the family numbered five souls, and it was subse-
quently increased to twelve, making ten children, in all, of whom six were
sons and four daughters. Of him, too, we find amplest testimonials in the
early records of the town. As the first deacon chosen in Norwich, the prece-
ding deacons having been chosen in Saybrook, he served with great fidelity
and acceptance until his death ; and it was doubtless felt to be a tribute to his
success as well as one to the fitness of the son, that his son was chosen to suc-
ceed him. As first townsman, then the highest mayoralty known, and as
deputy in the general Court of the State, he seems to have acted a prominent
part in the civil and social movements of the day, ever deserving and receiving
honor from his fellow townsmen. His house lot occupied a prominent position
on the public square, a short distance this side of his brother Christopher's,
and a portion of it is to-day in the possession of his worthy descendants of

tlie same name. He was, also, for those days, a wealthy as well as honored
man, transmitting his name, and not a little of his noble spirit through five of
his sons and three of his daughters, to a numerous and widely scattered pos-
terity.
Of the daughters of these two pioneers in the settlement of Norwich, I can
only mention the names of the famihes with which they soon became allied by
marriage ; and the mention, itself, is no slight testimonial to their gifts and
worth. Of Christoper's daughters, one married a Pratt, of Saybrook ; another,
a son of Lieut. Francis Griswold, both father and son being well known and
influential men, but since represented among their descendants, by names still
better known ; and the third, a son of Thos. Bingham, of this town, the head
of a numerous family, embracing many meritorious names, both of deceased
and living representatives. Of Simon's daughters, one became the wife of
Dr. Solomon, son of Lieut Thos. Tracy, and her descendants are among the
first citizens of all the generations of this town ; the second married a
Forbes, of Saybrook; and the third took for husband, Joseph, son of the
notable Lieut. William Backus, of this town, and became the mother of eight
honored children, themselves the ancestors of worthy names.
Passing into the second generation of Huntingtons, born in tliis country,
we find fifty-eight grand children of the two Norwich settlers. Their births,
with only eight exceptions, are found on the records of the town. Of the
eight famihes of the name, which this generation afibrds, five resided in Nor-
wich, two in Windham, and one in Lebanon.
From these families spring twenty-nine families, of the name, in the next
generation, who found their homes in eight different towns in this immediate
vicinity; eleven in Norwich, seven in Windham, four in Lebanon, three in
Mansfield, and one, each, in Franklin, Bozrah, Preston and Tolland. Tlie
sister families of this generation gifted with Huntington mothers, number
among them noble names : the Wheelocks and Leffingwells, the Hydes and
Lincolns, the Lathrops and Waleses, and Cranes, the Fitches and Clarks and
Wrights, and the Carews and Adgates. Of course, my time will not suffice to
tell you, here, even had I all the materials at command for doing it, of the
many worthy things which might be said of so many, and so worthy names.
Nor can I stop to tell you what I hope, at no very distant day, you may read,
at your leisure, of the scattered routes which the seventy-three smart boys of
these twenty-nine families took, where they stopped, and how they multiplied
our name, until the Huntingtons in this tand numbered over eight hundred
souls, and were thriving in more than a hundred different towns. Those
seventy-three patriarchs of our name have all gone, and but a few of their
more than five hundred children still remain among us to testify to us of their
great worth. Yet a few such remain and are here, to-day. Thank God, that
in this place, and at this joyous hour, we may hail you — blessed, venerable
fathers of our name. Ye are here to-day, the most eloquent prompters of our
reverential love. Your names shall be dear to our hearts, as thev will become
household words in affectionate circles of your children's children, who shall

glory in such a parentage, long after your departed feet shall have trod the
immortal shore. We accept the lessons which your self-denying and heroic
lives teach us, and will ever pray that we may transmit the priceless legacy to
our children, and they to theirs.
I have spoken of the fourth generation as having nearly passed away, leav-
ing, perhaps, the impression that all who are left of this generation, are now
aged. But, as if to illustrate what is no uncommon freak in the growth of
families, we can point to-day to our Rome cousins, and also to our gifted poet^
from whom you are soon to hear, as a part of this same generation; enough
still' left of the youth and strength, the intellect and heart of the past gener-
ation, to suggest to us what their confreres, though so many years their elders,
must have been.
Of this generation, numbering about five hundred souls, I have on record
the families of about a hundred and thirty sons, scattered all over our country,
and quite generously mingling with her IVlajesty's subjects in her provinces on
the North ; and of course I must not attempt here to locate for you their more
than seven hundred children. Still less must I take yoii to the homes of the
two hundred famihes springing from this fifth generation, and now numbering,
though many of them still in the infancy of their growth, not many less than
a thousand souls.
Of the next generation still, I can now report but about thirty families, and
as these, with a single exception, are still young, their increase may be some
less than two hundred. Here, too, we notice a freak of family growth,
the opposite of that which appeared in our notice of the fourth generation.
Among the infant families of this seventh generation, appears the mature
circle of the late Joseph C. Huntington, of this town. The eldest son of this
family, in the seventh generation, was born in the same year with our poet of
this occasion, who is in the fifth. Though anticipating, by more than a gen-
eration, their own generation in the family, they are doubly welcome thus
early to our inheritance. Their number and their position, give us noble
promise of a good record to be made up when the last child of that seventh
generation shall have been born. For, it must not be forgotten, that the last
cliildren of the fifth generation are yet to be born, and that but two families
of the seventh, as far as we know, have yet in them the first fruits of the
eighth.
Such is the Huntington Family, nimierically. Extending to the tenth gen-
eration from Smox, the puritan immigrant, embracing not far from four
thousand of those still bearing the name, about one-third of whom are now
living in the last four generations; you may find them scattered from the At-
lantic to the Pacific, doing business from highest northern to furthest southern
latitude on this continent, and also, quite extensively intermingUng interests
and forming matrimonial alliances with the old world.
Let me now indicate as briefly as I may, to what ext<^nt we have borne our
part in the political, and social and educational movements of onr country.
In five of our States we have furnished members for poHtical conventions
THE FAMILY MEETING. 43
in which State Constitutions were made, or ratified, or amended. In Connec-
ticut we were represented by three of the name in the Convention of 1788,
for ratifying the Constitution of the United States — Samuel and Jedediah of
Norwich, and Isaac of Bozrah. In the Convention of 1818, we had our Jona-
than of Haddam. New York has had our Henry and Edward at work upon
hers ; Ohio, her second Governor, our Samuel, upon hers, and New Hamp-
shire our George, of Waipole, upon hers. As representatives or senators, and
they are about equally divided, we have furnished not less than thirty for
State Legislatures, and a soHd half-dozen for our national Congress, one of
whom is with us to-day. Of Judges of County Courts, Superior Judges and
Federal and Chief Justices, we can count at least fifteen ; and of their right
hand agents, at least four high sheriffs. Our Governors have been two, and
one of them a President. Thus have we been represented in all the grades of
office known both to our State and national constitutions.
Educationally we have also a creditable record. Nearlj^ a hundred names
on our list have taken collegiate honors ; a number which, for its ratio to the
entire list, is probably unequaled by any New England family. Our ministers
have exceeded one third of our college list, and our lawyers and doctors have
nearly equaled a third each. Of instructors and professors in colleges we
have had several ; and in all the grades both of private and public schools,
we have not wanted successful and honored workers. In authorship, our State
Historical Library will furnish several worthy specimens from deceased mem-
bers of the family, and our later achievements are not without promise. There
are Uving now several members, who, if true to the beginning of their course,
will leave behind them no mean fruits of their scholarship and taste.
Nor have the Huntington daughters been behind their brothers in these
contributions to the civil and educational movements of our land. They have
been, eminently, the mothers of legislators, of divines, of doctors, of lawyers,
and of teachers.
Leaving this table, thus spread out before you, let us pass now to a more
particular notice of two of the most marked characteristics of the family.
From the very beginning of our American history, our name has sustained an
honorable rank for the patriotism and the piety of its representatives.
The old French war found in our family a readiness to dare and die, even,
for the defense of their homes. Matthew, of Mansfield, at the call of his coun-
try, enlisted a company of the Mansfield boys numbering about sixty, and
started for the seat of the war, on Lake George. You might have seen him
defying flood and heat and tha%terrible foe, the camp distemper of that day,
strucrolinor to take his charge of boats and barges up the Hudson to Green-
bush. One after another of his company yielded to the trial. Unhesitatingly
he orders and leads the survivors on, hauling their boats against the current,
wadinor often, until the weakness and failure of his men had made it necessary
for himself to drag with his own strong and ready arm, the last boat around
the last rapid in his course. He had accomphshed his specific object, but you
follow him no longer. That patriot heart ceased that night its beating, and
44 HUNTINGTON F A 31 I L Y 31 E 31 O I R .
our kinsman was next morning a lifeless victim to his excessive toil — self
offered on the altar of his country's cause. Three years later in the same war,
Elijah of this town, a son of that -^justice Isaac, than whom no juster man
then lived," engaged under Gen. Amherst in Col. Fitch's regiment, in his
third campaign. He was more successful though he endured scarcely less toil
and suffering, yet they were deemed of little account, when he could report to
his father the surrender of the French, and the floating of " the flag of St.
George in triumph on the gate of Montreal." " Let God," he adds, " have the
praise of our success over the enemy, and may we never have occasion for
another campaign in this country again." And so he proved himself to be the
Christian patriot ; in the day of his triumph pleading for the peace of his land.
An incident, illustrative of the spirit with which that expedition was executed,
is not without interest to us. Tliat part of the army to which our kinsman
belonged had, by a most fatiguing march of thirty-one days, traversed the dis-
tance from Schenectady to Fort Ontario, and had weathered in open boats
and ru^e galleys, a most perilous crossmg of the lake to its outlet into the
St. Lawrence. Amherst determined to pass down the river ajid attack Os-
wegatchie and Isle Royal. Two armed vessels hindered the passage. Putnam
put 1,000 men, including our kinsman, into fifty batteaux, and started to
board the vessels. Ordering his men to strip to their waistcoats, taking his
beetle and wedges with which to fasten the rudders of the vessels and so ren-
der them unmanageable, he entered the advanced boat with a chosen crew,
and gave the signal. On they moved, so swiftly and resolutely, thus stripped for
the encounter, that the French, j)anic-struck, abandoned the idea of resistance,
one vessel being run aground, and the other striking her colors without a blow.
Our connexion with our revolutionary history is not deficient in interest
or incident. In those days, when to chi\g to our country's cause was trea-
son, patriotism was our family trait ; and no threats of governmental ven-
geance, and no seductions of governmental favor, could for a moment weaken
or repress it. American Independence had few warmer or truer friends than
our name and family furnished. In tliis town was General Jabez, who cheer-
fully risked his extensive shipping interests, and voluntarily sacrificed his
thousands in support of national resistance against foreign rule. I lis large
property, his time, his counsels and his prayers were equally and efficiently
consecrated to the successful issue of that memorable struggle ; and when the
aged patriot had by the cares and anxieties which that contest imposed upon
him, been prematurely hurried 4:o his grave, a whole community, and the whole
country indeed, testified to their sorrow over what was felt to be a national
loss. Xor less efficient in that struggle were The ser\ices and personal sacri-
fices of the five sons of the old patriot. All of them were ardent supporters
of the revolution, and were then, or subsequently, honored with high military
rank. It is no mean compliment, that the great Washington, whose discern-
ment of character equaled, and indeed issued in, his abundant success, all
through the war, made the elder brother, Jedediah, a counselor and confi-
dant, and afterward.^ honored him with high testimonials of his reffard. Nor
THE FAMILY MEETING. 45
less faithful to the obligations of that trying day, were other Huntingtons.
Deacon Hezekiah, a christian and a judge, is at the head of a committee
ajjpointed in 1767, to bring in resolutions expressive of the feehngs of the
citizens. That committee headed by the two Hon's Hezekiah and Jabez, con-
sisting of twelve other sturdy and brave patriots, had in it eight of the four-
teen, who either had Huntington blood in them, or who were connected with
the name by marriage. Capt. Simeon, the sturdy hammerer of iron, as stur-
dily resisted the enslavement of his native land, and with muscular arm and
true patriot pluck, collared and shook too, to the satisfaction of both parties,
the meddling tory, who had come down from Massachusetts to insult the
patriots of Connecticut : and no tory thenceforward showed himself among the
unflinching patriots of this locahty. A letter of Gen. Jedediah may be seen
in the American Archives recommending this Simeon for promotion, on the
strength of his miHtary bearing and courage.
I call up also from the stern realities of that trying day, an Amos, from
Shaftesbury, doing valiant service at the head of his fearless band at Hub-
bardston, preferring a fearful risk in a spirited encounter with immense odds,
under the generalship of Burgoyne, to an inglorious retreat. I follow his un-
quenched patriotism, under the trying ordeal of his tedious imprisonment, and
rejoice to know, that when by exchange of prisoners he was again set free, he
was ready to risk again the life which he had scarcely saved.
I see toiling, day after day, others of that generation; some in the march,
some in the field of preparation and of contest, and more on their farms
and in their shops at home, living and laboring, to a man, to aid their
country in her desperate struggle for independence. And in this spirit, the
daughters of our fathers shared. To a woman they were on the right side,
and wo to the suitor who asked consent of maiden or mother, while yet unde-
cided whether to hold on to the "■ flesh pots" of the good old English dame, or
to strike boldly for a free home, for himself and her whom he sought for wife.
Nor would it have been safe for a husband of one of those daughters to have
showed the white feather in the fight. If no other resource had offered, you
may know from what you have seen of some of them, when tried, how quietly
she would have seated her timid lord by the cradle of their babe, while with a
woman's pluck she would have shouldered his musket and knapsack for the
field herself.
Great as were the sacrifices required of the patriots of that day, we are
happy to believe that few famihes more cheerfully met them ; and perilous as
the struggle for independence was, few more heroically entered it, to encoun-
ter its dangers, and achieve its triumphs.
Still more marked has been the religious element of the family, as from
its origin we had a right to expect. Probably all of the sons of the immigrant
were religious men. Certainly the two who ultimately settled in Norwich
were so, nor were their wives at all behind them, in this respect.
The one who settled at Newark, would hardly have been admitted into the
family of that good old Jasper Crane, unless he had upon him the seal of

orthodox puritanism; and, moreover, he signed before going from Connecti-
cut, that memorable compact, in wliich he pledges the maintenance of the
purity of rehgion professed in the Congregational churches.
William, of Salisbury, was at least a companion in that border settlement
of men who feared and served God.
In the next generation we find three deacons, Simon and Christopher
and Daniel, of this town, deacon Joseph and his cousin Tliomas, two of the
fathers of the Windham, and deacon Samuel, a strong pillar in the Lebanon
church ; and the rehgious infliience of those six families, is to be measured
only when we have comprehended the succeeding history of these three early
churches, both on their original territory, and in the new churches for v.'hich
they have supplied founders and colonists. Of this generation, embracing as
far as is known, twenty souls, of whom six died in early hfe ; nearly all were not
only members of these three churches, but they were prominent among their
membership. Perhaps few families can show a fairer religious record, in the
first generation of its members born in this country. Passing into the next
generation, we find in this town, the two deacons Ebenezer and Hezekiah, son
of Christopher, a worthy successor of his father in the church, and Joseph of
Windham, who also succeded liis father. Then there were Daniel, and Benja-
min, and Jonathan, and Isaac, and Jabez, all men of religious principle, in
Norwich, Jonathan, Nathaniel and Solomon of Windham, and Caleb and
Samuel of Lebanon.
In the third generation we find no lack of the religious element. The good
seed bears good fruit, rather, and we have no less than eight deacons, not to
count the husbands of several of the Huntington daughters of that generation.
And as if to fulfill the scriptural economy — first the blade, then the ear, and
afterward the full corn in the ear. we find outgrowing from our deaconship, the
higher ecclesiastical office of the ministry; and in this highest office of the
church, we have no less than seven ministers of rehgion, no mean development
of canonical orders ; saintly men and one dt'acon in the first ; good men and
more deacons in the second, and both these, with the holy ministry in the
third, (ioing on into the next generation we find fewer deacons, indeed, but
then the old seed ripens here into the higher orders, and accordingly we find
in the family ten who were thought worthy of ministerial vows. Five of this
number are still living; one-half of the ministers in a generation, four-fifths of
which are dead. Six of our daughters of this generation took, or were taken
by as many ministers of the gospel, and the names of those husbands wiU best
illustrate the character of these daughters: Rev. Dr. Lyman of Hadley: Rev.
Dr. Strong of Norwich; Rev. Dr. Griffin of Boston: Rev. Samuel Perkins of
Windham ; Rev. Henry Smith, Camden, N. Y., and Dr. Thos. Baldwin of Boston.
In the next generation, many of whose sons are not yet old enough to have
chosen, or at least to have entered upon a profession, we still find an encour-
aging assurance of more than a two fold increase. Already we number fifteen
clertrNTiien accredited, eleven of whom are alive, and nine of them should be,
by promise, with us to-tlay ; and several now in the course of preparation for

•
the holy office. And even still later, in the next generation, we have two
preachers, and three daughters the wives of preachers, and these are from the
only families of the generation, which have reached the age for becoming
ministers; yet, ample, as the first fruits of what will yet prove an abundant
increase over all former generations. But we cannot linger upon this pleasant
theme. I will not say that, as a family, our name has been especially marked
for eminent piety. By very general consent we have been remarkably free
from examples of extreme vice. There may have been rotten branches, that
occasionally have disfigured the parent tree, but it has proved only the branch;
we have found the limbs from which they cleaved off, as if not belonging to
them, all sound, because the old trunk was sound to the core. I must not
attempt to take you around among the homes of our family, where religion
does her holiest work, and sheds her richest light, and achieves her heavenliest
glory, to instance the many examples of every day piety among them. Least
of all, can 1 carry you into that still more private sanctuary of the soul, where
religion is born and nurtured, to show you how many of our name have there
won the heavenly resident, and drawn to themselves the ministries of the
heavenly grace. But, that many such home scenes and experiences have
existed among us, we have no reason to doubt. The large number of mem-
bers of the Christian churches of three evangelical denominations : Congrega-
tional, Episcopal, and PresVjyterian, would suggest it. Tlie large number of
members holding official positions in these churches, would suggest, too, a
higher than ordinary tone of piety.
Of the eighteen deacons of the church in tliis place, from its organization,
seven have been of our name ; and among its members are enrolled seventy-
two of the name. The cliurches in this vicinity, embraced within the original
territory of Norwich, have had an aggregate considerably greater than this ;
and for at least six of them, we have furnished one or more deacons,
But I cannot forbear mentioning a few personal illustrations of our kins-
men's faith. AVe owe it to the grace of God thus to make mention of its
triumph. I must name, yet can hardly do more than name, our deacon Heze-
kiah, whose prayers and counsels, whose affability penetrated with the grace
of his true piety, endeared his name to all who knew him. But one instance,
I think, is on record, in which his piety is questioned. Dr. Benjamin "Wheat
had overheard two members of the Assembly in Hartford reporting evil of him
and made the report a ground of a sudden and grievous charge. But on ex-
amination the report was found groundless, and Dr. Wheat drew up a most
humbling confession of having acted hastily and wickedly against the Chris-
tian character of one who was above reproach.
Need I more than name the Hon. Jedediah, honored most of all by a piety
as philanthropic as it was Christian — a man whose consistency was proclaimed
to be better and more effective than eloquence, yet whose counsels and pray-
ers were so felicitous that none could forget them, and who won from the
people among whom he lived, the application to himself of that divinest
ascription — "the spirit of the Lord rested upon him."
48 H U X T I X G T O X FAMILY MEMOIR.
I might speak of the truthful piety and warm-hearted benevolence of Rev.
Asahel, for nearly a quarter of a century the "successful and useful minister
of Topsfield," a man ''in all social duties scrupulously exact ;" whose moral and
religious character was w^ithout a blot; whose "first object was to know the
mind of the Lord, and whose decided purpose it was, then to declare it to his
hearers." It is enough to repeat the record made of him by competent hands —
" a faithful servant of Christ."
Nor should the name of our David, who won the title of the pious and de-
vout minister — nor that of his son, Rev. Leverett Israel, the self-sacrificing
and eminetly acceptable minister, be omitted.
Or, what more shall I say of that Christian pastor, the Rev. Nathaniel G.,
of Bethany, than that he drew the type of his religious experience from the
deep wells of the original scriptures, dwelling much among the hohest and
brighest example of religious faith; and that he was so persuaded of the reali-
ties of the religious life and the eventual consummation of religious hopes,
that in the midst of deepest distress he could calmly and joyously exclaim, "it
is all nothing compared to the glory before me."
Or. how shall I speak of the deep humility, the warmth of Christian love,
the unswerving integrity, the disinterested devotion, and the burning zeal of
the gifted Joshua, of Bo.ston. If to preach the gospel to the poor was an evi-
dence of his Master's commission from on high, few New-England pastors have
given more abundant proofs of their divine appointment. I will not attempt
to say how much he owed his eminent success to the true Christian sjTnpathy,
the rare Christian graces of that no less gifted wife whose memoir you may read.
But I must speak a word of the daughters in our Israel. Tliere have been
many polished stones among them. Their influence has been felt in the homes
of many other names, and their memories are blessed in many other circles.
But their names, their precious memories, their bright experiences are ours,
too; and he who sent them to be the light and joy of our homes on earth, sent
them no less to instruct and encourage our way to Heaven.
Ruth, daughter of the second Christopher, and \Wfe of deacon Ralph, and
mother of Rev. Dr. Eleazer AMieelock, was a woman as noticeable for her
deep and humble piety, as for her inteUigent use of religious influence ; and
among the fruits of both, we have the religious and literary history of Dart-
mouth College.
Nor less remarkable in both these qualities was that Lydia, daughter of our
deacon f^benezer, and wife of Dr. Jabez Fitch of Canterbury, the mother of
President Ebenezer Fitch, through whom her maternal counsels contributed
to the founding of another college, Williamstown, for the cause of learning
and religion.
Let me instance, also, the character of Abigail, who married Azariali La-
throp, a woman who happily exemplified the meek and quiet spirit of the
gospel. Her children blessed her, and their cliildren also — that noble baud of
sistors — ^Irs. Winslow. Hutchins. Perry and Cherry, who, yearning for the
peri.shing heathen, lived for, and died among them.
THE FAMILY MEETING. 49
Let me mention, also, Hannah, daughter of Col. Hezekiah and wife of Col.
Joshua, of this Jown, " a memorial of whose virtues will live as long as any
one remains who had the happiness to know her."
I may now speak, also, of Catherine, daughter of Henry of Rome, and wife
of Col. William Williams of Utica, a woman in whose piety there was a com-
pleteness which best asserted its genuineness. Her faith was that which works.
Her hands obeyed her heart ; and blessed and comforted were they, who in
the hour of their deep need and sadness, were found of her. It was a strong
testimonial which her pastor bore to her character, but not fuller than the
response of the mourning people, who knew her so veil : " She was one of the
rarest, choicest characters in the whole acquaintance of my life. To our par-
tial vision she appeared to bear the perfections of heaven during the proba-
tion of earth."
I must also instance our Sarah Lanman, for one more illustration of Chris-
tian grace — a bright, a glorious triumph of Christian faith. Her name, her
heroic life, her quenchless zeal, her hallowed death, are yours : and they plead
as no form of human words can. plead, with us all, to emulate the faith and
works of her heaven-inspired life.
Nor can I forbear one other, and a still more pertinent illustration of this
feature of our family history. The lambs of our fold have been the great and
good shepherd's care. I hear the voices of departed babes taken from all our
clasping arms, into the bright home aboVe, sounding there sweeter praises
than we who are left can learn to raise while on earth. Many of them began
their sweet song below. Mary Hallam, whose memoir you may read, that
Bweet babe in Christ, began them here. She caught the spirit of heaven in
her very infancy, and was drawn by it to the companionship and enjo^nnent
of the heavenly company. Oh I how sweet, that earnest plea from that dear
departing babe, longing to leave, even those whom she loved most, that she
might be with Christ — " Give me to God." And so she passed away to join
that large company of little ones that from all our fond circles have been ta-
ken into the safer, the heavenly home above. Beloved kinsmen, a review of
the religious hi.story of our family has left on my mind the pleasant impres-
sion that the number of those of our name who are now on the celestial heights,
exceeds that of us who are still journeying through the vale below. May the
great and good God bring us, each in his turn, safely up to their blessed com-
panionship.
A third topic — biographical notices of several members of the family, for
want of time, I must omit, with the single exception of a brief one of the most
prominent name on our list.
Samuel, the second of a noble family of distinguished brothers, sons of
Nathaniel, without the advantages of college, or even of private school in-
struction, attained a position the most honored and exalted which the world
in his day could give. Perhaps he reahzed, more fully than any other mem-

Other pens, both American and European, have recorded his merits most
appropriately. IMay not his kinsmen, whose name has borrowed from him no
ephemeral luster, hnger a moment over the story of his artless, yet honored
and useful life.
The farmer's son became the cooper-boy : yet, while shaving staves and
bending hoops, he was fast learning the art of shaping human conduct and
bending human wills. He soon proved that the making of empty barrels did
not necessitate the carrying of an empty head, and while he conscientiously
made the one to hold, unleakingly, everything but sound, he filled, unceas-
ingly, the other with good solid sense.
At his graduation from his apprenticeship, or very soon after it, he was thus
self-taught admitted to the bar. At twenty-nine years of age he removed to
Norwich, as a better field for his new profession ; and rose rapidly to the front
rank of jurists and civilians. At the opening of our Revolution, he had already
been honored with many testimonials of pubHc confidence. As representative
of the towai in the state legislature, as member of the state senate, as King's
attorney, and judge of the superior court, he approved himself as every way
worthy of higher trusts. And when the time came for calling the mother land
to account for her unjust demands upon the resources of the hitherto filial
daughter, now grown to a good degree of maturity, after reaching the period
of her legitimate majority, who better than he could manage the case V Ac-
cordingly, he was in 1775, sent as delegate to the continental congress. The
universal testimony respectmg his position as a member of congress is, that
during the whole period of his membership, nearly five years, he was one of
its most prominent and influential members. You have seen his name among
the signers of our Declaration. You have seen that placid gaze cahnly com-
prehending the rising storm, yet serene in its quiet trust in the rectitude of
every assertion and of every demand in that Declaration. You have followed
him, steadily asserting its every claim ; and so ably was it done, so uncom-
promisingly insisted on, so uninij^eachably true to the great cause was the
advocate, that tlie leaders of the age confided its consummation to his presi-
dency ; and midway in the fearful struggle to which it had led, our kinsman is
chosen from among the master sj^irits of the age, which had made great souls,
the President of the grandest movement of the age itself. How well he met
the responsibilities of that new post for nearly two years, is best evmced in
the reluctance with which congress accepted the resignation which his failing
health compelled him to make. On returning to his native State, his services
were again called for, in the council and on the bench. In 1786 he was
chosen governor, and annually re-elected until his death, in 1796 ; and of the
nine hundred votes cast in the town of his adoption, for the last term of his
office, he received every vote. A noble and spontaneous tribute, of those who
knew him best, to private, no less than public worth.
But the highest, or, more strictly, the deepest excellence of the man, i^^ yet
to be mentioned. Faith in God and loyalty only to His will, was the most
vital spring in his life. He was a man true to every human obhgation.
THE F A :vr I L T :M E E T I N G . 51
because obedient to every divine law ; and he who could never find it in his
heart to deny his God, was found ready to acknowledge every claim of his
country and his race.
Yet this truest man, this purest patriot, this sincerest Christian, was not
above the reproach and hatred of his kind. So good a man was he, that a
large price would have been any day paid for his head at the Enghsh Ex-
chequer; and in an English political magazine for July, 1781, we find this
tribute, the highest which such a journal could pay : '' Samuel Huntington,
the new President of the rebel congress, is the son of a farmer. He was bred
to the law, and was poor at the breaking out of the rebelUon, but being gifted
with a smooth tongue, and being insinuating and deceitful, has become popu-
lar, and probably rich, by fleecing his deluded constituents." But no such
defamation could reach the character of our incorruptible kinsman. Until
the day of his departure he maintained his hold on the confidence and aftec-
tion of all who knew him, and when he died it was no ordinary sorrow that
paid its tribute to his great social, civil and religious worth.
For other names, worthy abundantly of a distinct notice here, I must refer
you to the ready speakers who may this afternoon represent them ; or to the
record, when at length completed and published.
An honored list is that, composed of such names as Benjamin and Joshua
and Isaac of the second generation ; Gen. Jabez, Rev. Nathaniel, the three
Rev. brothers, Jonathan, Enoch and Joseph, and Rev. Elij)halet, Hon's Henry,
Gurdon, George and Benjamin, brothers, and Hon. Jabez, of Windham, of
the third; Gt-n. Jedediah and brothers of whom you may hear, this after-
noon, from the gifted pen of Mrs. Sigourney, and Samuel, governor of Ohio,
Judge Samuel Gray, of Troy, and Hezekiah of Hartford, Hon. Jonathan of
Haddam, and Hon. Ziba, of Lebanon. N. II., a list of which any family may
be justly proud.
But I cannot dwell here.
I must not leave tliis summary of our history, without a more particular
notice of the daughters of our name. They have fully equaled their brothers,
in number, and in all those qualities of person and culture, which render
either sex companionable. A few of them have loved the name so weU that
no other name could move them to drop it, and we Hunting-tons cannot well
blame them. Yet, where they have for reasons which overbear the strongest
human resistances, consented to accept a change of names, they have quite
uniformly, as I think, done still better. Tlie honorable aUiances thus formed
have given to New England many and worthy names.
I have not time to run over the long list, and speak of the great personal
merits of our fathers' daughters. Their names are embalmed in the holiest
affections of fond and reverent household circles, of wliich their presence or
their memorv is the most sacred shrine.
To speak worthily of the families of the first generation of Huntington
daughters, would be to write out a full genealogy of the Tracys, and Back-
uses, and Griswolds, and Binghams of Xew England. And in the next gen-
52 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
eration -we should have to add those of the Lathrops, and Cranes, and Fitches,
and Clarkes, and Adgates, and Turners, and Abels, and Hydes, and ^Mieelocks,
and Leffingwells, and Lincolns ; with all the honored names which have sprung
from these. But I need not go into the next generation to recite, even, the
family names, which only honored, to be more abundantly honored by our
daughters.
Yet, that you may see what a theme of interest opens to every true Hun-
tington in this branch of our family history, let me cite a few illustrative
records.
Take that of Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel, in the firf-t generation, of Leba-
non. Born in 1G89, she married, in 1710, Moses, a son of Daniel Clark and
Hannah Pratt, first of Windsor, then of Hartford, and later of Colchester.
She had six children, one of whom was Dr. John Clark, of Lebanon. Liking
his mother's name so well, he took for wife, Jerusha, daughter of Col. Jabez
Huntington of Windham, and their children were twelve. Of these, the oldest,
the 2d Dr. John, of Lebanon, N. Y., marrying a daughter of Rev. Samuel
Moseley of Hampton, had eight children ; the Hon. Jabez, of Windham, mar-
rying Amie Elderkin. had six children ; Dr. Hezekiah, of Pompey, N. Y., mar-
rying Lucy, daughter of the Hon. Moses Bhss of Springfield, had ten children ;
Dr. Diodatus, of Oswego, N. Y., had also ten ; Hannah married the Hon.
George Bliss, of Springfield, and had four children ; Henry had six ; Erastus,
four ; Thaddeus, eleven, of whom Grace Greenwood is a single specimen ; and
Elizabeth, wife of Rev. Ludovicus Weld of Hampton, had five. Thus, of the
grand and great grandchildren of our Elizabeth, we have seventy-six souls ;
and among them, names not unknown, nor to be forgotten.
Of the next generation, Mr. Goodwin, whose list I have followed in this
estimate, has registered forty-seven names. And what I think most note-wor-
thy of this list is, that it takes its origin from a double Huntington source, all
the descendants of the 2d John, having united the blood of the Lebanon Lieu-
tenant, and the Windham Colonel. AMiat Huntington will allow himself to
wonder at the result ?
For another illustration, take another Elizabeth of ours, the eldest daughter
of Col. Jabez, of Windham. To name her husband is to praise herself.
Abraham Davenport, son of Rev. John, of Stamford, and grandson of the
New Haven divine, saw her, and the man who never before failed, triumphed
here.
He is the man who, you may remember, called for lights for our legislative
hall, on the 19th of May, 1780, affirming his preference, if the judgment day
was approaching, of being found at the post of duty. One of the council of
his native State, a judge of his native county, a man greatly beloved at home,
he was worthy of her whom he gained. Their children were five ; two of
whom, James and John, were members of Congress. Their daughter Eliza-
abeth married Dr. James Coggswell, whose daughter became the wife of the
Rev. Dr. Samuel Fisher, of Greenbush, N. Y., and the mother of Rev. S. W.
Fisher, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
THE FAMILY MEETING. 53
Their grand children number, also, worthy names; and to do them full jus-
tice would lead us into many families whose worth the world acknowledges,
and will ever bless. Among the names, I cannot forbear repeating such as
Radcliff and Boorman, Lockwood, Apthorp, and "NMielpley, the gifted pastor of
the first Presbyterian church of New York; and Bruen, the still more apos-
tolic pastor of the Bleecker street church; and Skinner, still honored with
exalted post in the service of the Christian church ; and Bushnell, whose name
and praise have filled all Christian lands. All of these have found helps-meet
among the daughters of our Elizabeth, and in doing so, they bring no reproach
upon our name.
And now as we are upon the Elizabeths, I will mention that the daughter
of Gen. Jabez, of Norwich, who married that truly Hon. John Chester, of
revolutionary memory. It is no discredit to us to be thus brought into family
relations with such names as Backus of Albany, Welles of Vermont, Chauncey
and Ralston of Philadelphia, or to have furnished the mother of such sons as
Dr. John, and Revs. William and Henry Chester of Philadelpliia.
I might go on to speak of Mary, Solomon's daughter, and of the Bucking-
hams, who speak well of her share in their honorable career, but they can
testify for themselves.
I might tell of the noble descendants of our Ruth, but the 'NMieelocks are
historic characters, and have shaped the literary and moral history of other
historic names. And are not also the Pomeroys and McClures, for whom her
daughters were counted worthy to be the beloved companions and wives?
I might mention our Hannah, who won a Gideon Tomlinson. and gave Con-
necticut in her grandson a tried and faithful governor ; and of our Lydia,
who, giving herself to the Green Mountain youth, gave to Vermont her hon-
ored Gov. Galusha.
But the time will fail me, and I must pass on to one other illustration of
our daughters' worth.
We are not without witnesses to the noblest traits and most heroic virtues
of character among them. They have done and dared well and nobly; and
in days when masculine nerves and man's endurance have been sorely tried,
they have shown themselves ready for the test, nor have they been found
wanting. I cannot stop to paint the patient and heroic endurance which many
of our homes have witnessed from their faithful ministry, in days of trial.
They have been the hght which a merciful Heaven has sent to our eke gloomy
homes ; and we should ever bless the boon which comes so timely to our help.
One instance, only, will my time enable me to exhibit, of this personal for-
titude and achievement.
Susannah, daughter of deacon Caleb, of Lebanon, had married Anderson
Dana, a lawyer of Ashford, and in 1772, went with her young family into the
Wyoming settlement on the Susquehannah. She carried one cliild in her arms
the whole distance, wiiile an older one, only about three years of age, rode
behind her, holding himself on. They reached that valley, and had rendered
themselves comfortable, until the fatal summer of 1778. Nathan Denison and
'54
H U X T I X G T OX FA M I I. Y 31 E :\I C) I K
Anderson Dana bad been cbosen to represent tbe valley in tbe next Assembly,
to be held in liartford. Alas ! another fate was before them and their cher-
ished homes. You have read the story of that terrible doom which so sud-
denly filled that peaceful valley with blood and deaths. Among the many
husbands and fathers who went down, un'der the death shot, or the merciless
tomahawk, or the consuming fire of that savage triumph, was the husband of
Susannah, then the mother of seven children. And what could that helpless
woman do? She had already gone through enough to have crushed to the
€arth, one would think, the mightiest frame. But her children were still alive,
and must be saved. AVith a mother's presence, and with that unseen power
which stays a mother's heart and hand, she shields and guides, and bears her
pleading charge through bloody grounds and watched defiles, in maternal
triumph, out of that valley of death ; nor did she stop until her seven children
had found in Ashford an asylum among their friends. /
You Avill, I know, expect from me some notice, also, of the mothers of our
family. They deserve such notice. They have come from the best families of
the land. In nothing, I think, have the Huntington sons shown more discern-
ment, or better taste, upon the whole, than in their selection of wives. We
admit that they have been the better half of us ; and our children have siiared
in the blessing. We cannot estimate their value to us. But we have not
time to speak of their personal worth. Nor need we. Every record we have
already made, is the best monument which we could rear to the precious
memory, or the jiresent excellence of our mothers and wives.
Our sons and daughters, their character and influence, the character and
reputation of our family abroad, made what it is, more by maternal than pater-
nal influence, these are the natural testimonials to the character and worth of
our mothers; and the best wish we could offer for our sons is, that they may
prove as discerning and as fortunate as their fathers before them.
Thus have 1 scattered before you, as my time has allowed, these discon-
nected pictures of the past, — too meager memorials of our honored and useful
ancestry.
They have been thrown out, not so much as furnishing a true measure of
their character and influence, but as indices, rather, of the leading spirit, the
most spontaneous developments of their course ; and they may serve as relia-
ble exponents of a family portraiture of which we need not be ashamed.
Could we see rising before us, as a unit, the growth of these last two hun-
dred years, springing from the germs of good old English sense, quickened by
the vitalizing forces of Saxon resolution and English puritanism, as realized
in the person of our eldest Simon — a growth ui)lifting its solid trunk with its
massive limbs, and out-spreading branches and clustering foliage, studded all
over its leafy arches, with freshest and sweetest blossoms of promise, or hang-
ing low its outmost limbs, bending beneath their burdens of ripened fruits, we
could not but rejoice in the sight, and bless the great husbandman for such
seed, and such soil, and such care.
True, our tree may have had its faded leaf, its shriveled bud, its wasting

twig, its decapng branch, its crooked limb, possibly, as what tree on mortal
shore has not : yet the longer you look, and the more fully you comprehend
the subject, the more you will see how much the freshness of its xigor exceeds
the tokens of its decay, and how completely the symmetry of its proportions
triumphs over the petty and occasional malformations in its less important
members.
The old family tree never gave higher promise of fruitfulness than in 1857.
It strikes out its roots deeper than ever into the soil of this great continent.
Its branches wave over more nimierous households than ever before. Blos-
soms thicken, and as sweet and fresh, gem its multipHed branches, apd fruits
never before surpassed in quality, never before ecjualed in amount, hang in
promise all over its waving top. Heaven spare the old tree to a perpetual
fruitfulness and growth.

THE PURITA.N IMMIGRAM.
SIMON, for so tradition has named him, was born in England, and married,
probably, Margaret Baret, of Norwich, or its immediate Wcinity, in England.
He died, while on the voyage to this country, of small pox, in 1633, and his
body was consigned to its ocean grave.
AVith the exception of those mentioned in the Appendix of this work, he
was, undoubtedly, the ancestor of all the Iluntingtons on this continent; and
it is much to be regretted that no record can now be found, to tell us of his
parentage, his character, or of his estate. What has been believed respecting
him, and what is most probable, a few lines will trace-
Beyond doubt he was an Englishman. Tradition has quite uniformly made
him a Norwich man ; and as uniformly, has ascribed his removal to this coun-
try to the persecutions to which nonconformists were subjected, during the
high handed administrations of Laud and the first Charles. The character of
his immediate descendants is perhaps in proof of both statements ; they were
thoroughly English in their feelings, affinities, and language ; and that they
were as thoroughly religious, their names and official connexion with the early
churches in this country abundantly attest.
Tradition has, also, with great uniformity, ascribed to him a family con-
sisting of his wife Margaret and three sons, Christopher, Simon and Samuel ;
and has placed his leaving England in the year 1G39 or IGiO ; and made the
landing of his family at Saybrook, Ct., himself having died oflf the coast, though
his body, it claims, was brought ashore and buried at the mouth of the Con-
necticut.
These traditions we have endeavored to verify and authenticate, but the
attempt, after much endeavor, has not only utterly failed, but has resulted in an
absolute disproval of nearly all which they claim. No record has ever been
found of the immigration into Saybrook, in the years mentioned. No record
exists to show that the Huntingtons were at Saybrook, before they are re-
corded as living in Massachusetts. The church records of Roxbury, Mass.,
contain the earliest record of the Huntington name known in New England ;
60 H U X T I X G T O X FAMILY M E IM O I R .
and is in the handwriting of Rev. John Elliot himself, the pastor of that an-
cient church. It is a " record of such as adjoined themselves unto the fellow-
ship of this church of Christ at Roxborough, as also of such children as were
born unto them under the holy covenant of this church, who are most prop-
erly the seed of the church." This is the record of Margaret Huntrngton.
Margaret Huxtixgton, widow, came in 1633. Her husband died by
THE way of the SMALL POX. ShE BROUGHT CHILDREN WITH HER.
The blank in this record, w-^here the number of her children should be found,
is much to be regretted. Positive certainty in regard to their number, we
may not now be able to attain.
Margaret Huntington, as is supposed, though I have been able to find no
record to attest it, married in 1635 or 6, Thomas Stoughton, then of Dorches-
ter, Mass, and moved to Windsor, Conn. Her husband became a prominent
man, being the deputy from that ancient towTi, several times, to the General
Court. Whether she had any children by him does not appear, from the Rox-
bury or Windsor records, nor is her death to be found at Windsor. Her
husband died in Windsor, March 25, 1661.
Of the birth place or residence of Simox', it is not probable that anything
can be learned. There is nothing existing among his descendants, which can
be relied upon as conclusive, regarding his English home. The different coats
of arms which have been shown, furnish no such evidence. They have been
imported quite recently, or designed from the blazon of some dictionary of
heraldry, and only show that the name Huntington had been honored in Eng-
land. But until it can be shown that Simon, w hom we accredit as the ances-
tor of the American Huntingtons, was descended from one or the other of
these titled families, the arms themselves are of no historic use. Nor is there
any thing reliable in the tradition that Simon was from Norwich, in England.
Having examined the minutest records of that city, found in our largest libra-
ries in this country, including that well nigh exhaustive work, Bloomfield's
Topographical History of Norwich, in which the name, even, appears but
once, I am forced to relinquish this tradition as useless to us in determining
the origin of the family in England.
Just as the first sheets of this work were in the printer's hand, my friend
Chancellor Walworth informed me of the recent discovery of three long lost
volumes of records, in the State Library in Hartford, which might shed some
light upon this point of our family history. By the kindness of C. J. Hoadley,
Esq., Librarian, the records were put into my hands for examination, and by
an act of especial kindness the following letter was transcribed by his own
careful pen, for such use as I might make of it in this work. I have thought
best, as the letter has such authority, to print it entire, only modernizing its
orthography, punctuation, and use of capitals.
THE PURITAN IMMIGRANT. 61
" Cousin Christopher Huntington :
Your letter dated about the 20th September, 1649, from Saybrook, I re-
ceived ; and do perceive that you have and shall receive to the value of 140
pounds of my brother Stawton, (Stoughton.) which when you have received
and security for what shall be behind unpaid, then give him and my sister an
acquittance, as from me, in full discharge of all matters and demands that I
can or may lay claim unto from them. So, (for) the dividing of this 140
pounds, it shall be thus done : whatever is lost, as a cow, or by reason the
commodities may not be altogether worth so much as you took them for, shall
be first deducted out of the 140 pounds ; and then the rest shall be thus divi-
ded : you shall take out £5 pound parts, (apart) in the first place, and then
divide the rest into five parts, whereof take two to yourself, one to Simon,
one to Thomas, and one to Ann. which will be all the five parts, and then
give to Simon the other five pounds, for my intent is he shall have five pounds
more than one fifth part ; and I suppose you now know my intent and mean-
ing herein, and let it be done thus. I well remember I told you that my
cousin Ann should have £20, because that (of) her preferment by way of
marriage, but I gave you no commission to dispose of the money but by my
order. Let ITiomas his first part be put into some good hand and security
taken for it, with allowance for the forbearance, that when he shall come to be
capable to employ it, he may receive it with the increase. Let me know what
you do herein, and send me you an acquittance under your hand for your 2
parts as a gift given you by me ; and one under Simon's hand for his, as a gift
given him by me ; also, under Ann her hand or mark, as a gift given her by
me. Yet (if) she cannot write do you witness it ; and for Thomas, likewise, a
receipt under his hand, as a gift given him also. Let me receive these four
acquittances by the next letters. Let the security for Thomas his part be
taken in liis own name, and the yearly increase that shall be allowed him for
it put into the security also.
My father it hath pleased God to take away out of this world in August
last. I pray God fit us all for the like change. My mother is made executive,
but I cannot hear that any of you are mentioned in his will. For Balding in
the Barbadoes, my father hath nothing to show of any debt due to my brother
Huntingtons, but the debt which he owes is £17, which is my debt made over
to me under his hand and seal before he went away, and £ 12 more he owes
me upon a bond to myself, so the whole debt is £20, which hath been my loss
all this while.
The parliament hath taken all the king's ofiicers' places away from them all
England over, that I have hereupon lost 200 pounds a year by this act ; that
now I am removing myself towards London, and so cannot, by reason of these
distractions, think of sending you any merchandizing commodities. Let
this enclosed be conveyed to my brother Stawton. If I can have time and
leisure, I wiU against the next Spring send you over some commodities. But
for Dutch cloth, I cannot accommodate you with, for I shall not have any
wages or means to get them upon good terms. I should think the North
62 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
Country cloth should sell better than these base coarse cloths which you send
me a pattern of. You mention in your letter of shot, but not what sorts and
for what use, for thereby we may guess at the sorts. You should have writ-
ten the price of this kind of cloth and the breadth, and I should have thereby
known the better what to have done therein. You must hereafter write more
particularly yt thing. I shall not further enlarge myself; but my love to
yourself and your brothers and sister remembered. Committing you to the
protection of the Almighty, rest, Your loving uncle,
Norwich, this 20th of April, 1650. PETER BARET.
Send your letters to me by Mr. Edward French at his warehouse in the
George yard in Lombard Street in London."
The above letter comes most opportunely for our record of Margaret the
wife of SiMOX. It is authoritative on several points of the family history, and
has its suggestions upon still others. . It is also, perhaps the first step towards
the discovery of the English home and connexion of Simon, himself But it
is provokingly late in its appearance, as it must be allowed to modify to some
extent opinions elsewhere expressed in this work, which it is too late now, in
any other way, to correct.
And, first, the letter is sufficient to establish the family name of Margaret.
I have accordingly inserted Baret after her christian name, where, but for
this letter, we must have found only a blank.
Secondly, it establishes the correctness of our record as to three of the chil-
dren of Margaret, as far as the names are concerned.
Thirdly, it shows that there was one daughter in the family ; and I have
accordingly as the work was passing through the press, inserted her name as
the second number five, on the list.
Fourthly, it fully corroborates our supposition of the marriage of Margaret
to a Mr. Stoughton.
Fifthly, it shows that Christopher Huntington was at Saybrook in 1649.
The letter has also its suggestions, possibly, at variance with the record,
which after the most patient investigation the author felt himself authorized
to make. These suggestions are in season to aid the reader in forming an
opinion upon the points to which they refer
First, it suggests a transposition of the names in the second generation,
making Thomas, instead of Simon, number five. Of course a corresponding
change will run through the first five generations ; but as no descendants of
Thomas belong to the later generations, no further transpositions in our rec-
ord will be needed.
Secondly, it suggests that WiUiam. No. 2, is more probably a brother, than
son of Simon. If this suggestion be accepted, it will simply transfer my record
of his descendants in each of the generations, to the generation preceding. In
all other respects the record will remain as it stands in the text.
Thirdly, as Christopher Baret was mayor of Norwich in 1031, the letter
suggests that Margaret, the wife of Simon, may have been a relative, perhaps
a daughter of his, since she gives his Christian name to one of her sons.
Should additional information come to the author, from any further re-
search to which this letter may lead, he will gladly take some early opportu-
nity to make the results known to those for whom this work is designed.
SECOND GENERATION.
1. SLMON. England.
2. AViLLiAM, conjecturally, the eldest son of Simon and Margaret. He
appears in Salisbury, Mass., as early as 1640. At a general meeting of the
freemen of this town, on the 2Gth of lOth month in 1642, it was ordered that
thirty famiUes should remove to the west side of the Powow river, the dividing
hne between Salisbury and Amesbury. William's was probably one of the
families who then crossed the river and became one of the pioneers in the new
settlement of Amesbury, then called '• Salisbury New Towne." He, however,
retained possession of his share in the old Sali-sbury, as he was recorded as
"townsman and comoner," there, on the third of twelfth month, 16.50. He
also paid the tax for the support of the Rev. Wm. Worcester, who was pastor
over the first church in Salisbury, down to his death, in 1662. He married
Joanna Bayley, a daughter of John Bayley, who went from Salisbury to New-
bury, in 16.50, and who died there in 16.51. This relationship is fully shown
by the recorded names, and the wiU of John Bayley, sen. ; in which he pro-
vides that his son John shall pay certain legacies. In compliance with this
provision, in 1652, John Bayley, jr., of Newbury, made a deed, in which he
gave to the above Joanna and her two children, a lot of land on the Merrimac.
Tradition makes him a religious man, and that he was a man of enterprise,
and of a thoroughly English spirit is evinced by his occupancy of that exposed
outpost of the English settlements of that day — opposition to French encroach-
ments being the mainspring to the settlement of that frontier town. The
residence of Wm. Huntington, in 1685-6, is given in the " Hoyt Family," as
next to Thomas Hoyt. This was in Pleasant Valley, on the banks of the
Merrimac, where the river is a half mile wide, and altogether a beautiful place.
A part of this family possession has never been alienated, being now in the
possession of IVlrs. Davis, (184-3).
The following minutes were copied from the Salisbury Town Records, and
help to indicate the character and position of WilUam Huntington,
64 HUNTINGTON F A M I L Y .AI E M () IK.
1653-4:, 1st month. One acre and ninety-two rods, his share of the Beach
Common. Being one of the sixty-two persons of the division of the meadow
toward Merrimac river, and the great Creek toward Merrimac river's mouth
and the Barberry Meadow, he drew lot No. 55.

moners of the New Town.
1658, Oct. 29. He is recorded as drawing land by lot, and he was one of
the thirteen to whose children 500 acres of land were given. His son John is
mentioned as the child to inherit his share.

Lion's Mouth.
1662, April 1. He drew 120 acres of land; and in March, 1662-3, thirty

four places.
In 1661: Wm. Huntington bought of John Hoyt, sen., a lot of land adjoin-
ing his own on Merrimac river.
He died about the year 1689.
For my record of the descendants of this "Wilham, as well as for the
minutes above, I am mainly indebted to the labors of Enoch, (1836) of
Amesbury.
3. Thomas, probably the second son of Simon and Margaret, though we
have no record of the date of his birth. With nothing to oppose such an
order, I have arranged the last three of this family in the order in which they
were "•made free" by the general Court of Connecticut: Thomas being made
free in 1651, Christopher in 1658, and Simon in 1663.
He appears to have resided in Windsor, Conn., as he purchased land there
in 1656, and in 1658 was employed to mend the boat, and in 1660 was a fence
viewer. He next appears on the records of the town of Branford in 1663.
He married, probably, for his first wife, a daughter of Wm. Swain, of Weth-
ersfield, and later of Branford ; and for his second wife, Hannah, a daughter
of Jasper Crane, merchant, who had moved from New Haven to Branford in
1652, at the settlement of the latter town. It will, perhaps, indicate, not
doubtfully, his character that he secured, in that day, an alhance with two
such famihes. The fathers of both of his wives were leading men, both in
religious and ci^il affairs ; having been the first deputies to the general Court
of Electors from Branford, in May, 1653, and for the next four years; Mr.
Swain ha^ing been a delegate from Wethersfield, previously to his removal
to Branford. That he was not unworthy of the alhance, the record also
shows. In 1665, when, to avoid an unpleasant controversy which had arisen
between the Branford people and their neighbors, on the union of the New
Haven and Connecticut colonies, the Branford people decided to remove be-
SECOND GENERATION. 65
yond the jurisdiction of these two colonies, we find his name among those who
subscribed the new comj5act. In that instrument they bind themselves to
provide " with care and diligence for the maintenance of the purity of religion
professed in the Congregational churches of Connecticut." The subscribers
had been alarmed by the admission into the civil offices of the union, of men
not connected with the Christian church.
These new adventurers having the purity of rehgion, mainly in view, in 1767
located themselves on the banks of the Passaic, in New Jersey, and laid there
the foundations of the thriving city of Newark.
Among the pioneers of that new settlement, Thomas was a prominent man.
In 1077 he was appointed constable. In 1683 he was one of the townsmen;
the first officer in the colony. In 1681 he was one of a committee appointed
to treat with the Governor, in regard to a supposed infringement on the rights
of the town. In 1685 he was one of the deputies from Newark to the general
court of the province of New Jersey.
As Samuel, his son, was made in 1691 a proprietor, which office the father
had held, it is probable that Thomas was not then Hving. The last record of
him that appears, on the book, being that of 1685; the absence of his name
from the list of those who, in 1689, contributed to the support of preaching,
is pretty good evidence that between these years he had died.
Ilis widow, Hannah, married Jolin ^^'ard, first of Branford. and afterward
of Newark. And there is on record, a deed of land, in which this Hannah is
named his wife, in 1695.
For the records on which my list of the descendants of this Tliomas is made
out and verified, I am indebted to the copies so carefully made by S. H. Con-
ger, of Newark, N. J.
4. Chkistopher probably accompanied his mother to AVindsor, Conn.,
where he must have spent his youth. He here married, Oct. 7, 1652, Kuth,
daughter of Wm. llockwell, '-a pyuminent and highly respected member of
the community." He removed, probably, in the spring of 1654, to Saybrook,
as the birth of one child appeared in 1653, on the Windsor records, and the
death of another in May, 1654, on those of Saybrook. Here he remained until
the spring of 1660, when, with a company of the Saybrook colony who had
organized themselves into a church, under the care of Rev. James Fitch, he
removed to the valley of the Yantic, and with his brother Simon, aided in
layiniT tlie foundations of the new town of Norwich., He had now reached
the prime of his manhood; and proved himself one of the most efficient and
useful of the hardy pioneers. His name occurs often in the earlier records of
this enterprising town, and always in honorable relations. His house lot was
one of the prominent localities in the settlement. In 1668 the general court
granted him lou acres of land, not more than twenty acres of it to be meadow.
In 1678 appointed town clerk. In 1685, he was one of the twelve patentees
of the new town of Norwich. In 1686 his name occurs as one of the conmiit-
tee " to make provision for maintainyig the reverend minister."
His death had occurred in 1691, as appears from the probate of his will,
il
Cj6 HUNTINGTON F A ]\I I L Y MEMOIR.
No stone marks the resting place of this pioneer of the Norwich settlement.
He sleeps, doubtless, not far from the banks of th'e pleasant Yantic, in the
meadow where rest, unmarked, the mortal remains of so many of the pioneers
of the early settlement of Norwich.
5. SiMOX, like his brother Christopher, spent his youth, probably, with his
mother in Windsor, K the Norwich records are authoritv, he was born in
England, in the year 1629, and of course was not far from four years of age
when the family came to this country.
He seems to have possessed the spirit, and to have shared the fortunes of
his brother Christopher. With him he appears at Saybrook, where, in Oct.
16.53, he married Sarah, daughter of Joseph Clark, of Windsor, and later of
Saybrook. In 1660 he joins the colonists who settled Norwich, and thence-
forward stands among the first of that important settlement, both in church
and state.
Here his house lot was also in a central and commanding position, and the
records show him to have been a large land-holder, and in worldly matters, an
enterprising man.
He was chosen, soon after the removal to Norwich, deaicon of Mr. Fitch's
church, in which oflEice he served with acceptance, until, in consequence of his
infirmities, he was succeeded by his son, in 1696.
In 1671, he, with that other veteran and tried pioneer, Thos. Leffingwell,
represented Norwich in the general court, and he again was a member of the
body in 168.5.
In 1686 the town grant him and his sons thirty acres of pasture, westward
of Goodman Sluman.
In 1690, and again in 1696, he was the townsman. In 1691 he was appointed
a committee to treat with Mr. Jabez Fitch, with respect to his helping and
succeeding his father in the work of the ministry. In the same year he was
also on a committee to search out and report on the deficiences in the records.
In 1697 he was one of the committee to seat the meeting house. In 1700
he was api)ointed on a commission to deed anew, lands about whose titles
disputes had arisen, or would be likely to arise.
In 1703, April 27, he and his son Simon deed away thirty acres of pasture
land, west of the great plains, to John Giffbrd.
The following record is copied from the AVindham probate records.
To all Christian people to whom these presents may come: Know ye that I,

' Deacon Huntington died in No^"w^ch, June 28, 1706, aged 77 years; and
Sarah, his wife, died in 1721, aged 88 years. The place of his burial, like that of
his brother Christopher, is marked by no monument. The beautiful town and
city, which, all along our national history, have been eminent for their patriot-
ism and piety and enterprise, are the best monuments to the worth of these
two prominent names among the noble band of pioneers, who, in times of
trouble and want, laid the foundations for such prosperity.

Baret, which is printed in our account of the Puritan Immigrant. No record
of her marriage or death has been found. Tlie Baret letter would seem to
locate her at Saybrook, Conn., when it was written.

He had a seat assigned him in the first Congregational meeting house built

9. Samuel, born probably in Branford, married Sarah . In 1702, he
and Sarah Huntinfrton convey land to Nathaniel Ward. He is recorded, as
"son and heir-in-law of Tlioraas Huntington, deceased," in a conveyance of
land to J. & D. Crane. In ITOi, Samuel and Sarah are again recorded as
selling land. His will, is dated Nov, 11, 1704, and proved Nov. 19, 1712;
previously to which, his death probably occurred. This Samuel was made, in
1691, one of the proprietors of the land in Newark.
10. Hannah. Her grandfather, Jasper Crane, mentions this daughter of
Thomas Huntington, in his Asall, calling her his grand-daughter. No other
record of her has been discovered by the author.
IV. CHRISTOPHER. . Norwich.
The death of the first Christopher, and the births of all but the first two of
this family, are on the Norwich records.
11. Christopher, born in 1653, lived one year and four months, and died
in Saybrook. The first fact appears on the Windsor records, and the second,
was taken from the Saybrook records before they were burnt in the old fort.
12. Ruth, born April 13, 1653, and probably a twin with the above Chris-
tojiher. She probably died in infancy.
13. Ruth, born in Saybrook, in April, 1658. married, March 26, 1681,
Samuel Pratt of Saybrook, who came to Norwich with the early settlers.
They had one child recorded in Norwich, Samuel Pratt, born Feb. 11, 1683 ;
and she died Feb. 1-4, 1683.
14. Christopher, born in Norwich, Nov. 1, 1660, being "the first born of
males in the town." Born, thus, during the first year of the liistory of his
native town, and destined to grow up in its infancy, and spend his manly
vigor and mature age in its forming period, he was also designed and used
by Providence, as a prominent contributor to the prosperity of its most vital
secular interests, and a marked pillar of support to those of religion. His
character, molded, mainly, by the very best of all influences, those of a quiet
home, in which every day piety haUows every day toil, and over which a
sense of duty rules as the deepest incentive to its labors and its pastimes
alike, unfolded early with* every element of consistency and strength. In a
period of exposure and calhng often for extreme adventure, he became reso-
lute and fearless. In an age devoted to the revival of a simple and primitive
piety, he became a humble, inflexible Christian; and with the best and amplest
means at his disposal, trained himself to the most intelligent and eflective dis-
charge of every duty, either to God or the world.
He married, for his first wife. May 26, 1681, Sarah, born January, 1663,
daughter of deacon Thomas Adgate, by his second wife, Mrs. Mary Bushnell,
widow of Richard BushneU. of Saybrook. She was the mother of his first
eight children, and died in Norwich, in Feb. 1705-6, aged 42. He married for
his second wife, in Oct. 1706, Mrs. Judith (Stevens) Brewster, widow of
Jonathan Brewster, a great grandson of the venerable elder Brewster, the
THIRD a E X E R A T I O X . 71
spiritual guide and teacher of the Mayflower pilgrims. vShe became the
mother of four children.
In 1684: the town grant him a parcel of land on a small plain near the
mouth of Crane brook.
In each of the years 1691, 1705 and 1709, he is on the record as the first
townsman. He succeeded Richard BushneU, as tov. u clerk, whicli oflice he
transmitted, in due time, to his son Isaac.
In 1695 or '96 he was appointed deacon, and in this oflice served with
marked ability to the close of his Life. He appears to have been a practical
surveyor; and his decision on a dispute regarding land titles, was in those
early days an end of all strife. He was, accordingly, on the commission with
his uncle Simon, to re-deed the lands whose titles were in dispute.
He had become an extensive land holder, as the early records abundantly
show. In 1705, July 21, he and his brother Thomas deed to John Elderkin,
'*all that our one hundred acres of upland and meadows, which we hold in
partnership, as it was given to us by our honored father, Christopher Hun-
tington, as by his last will and testament."
He died in Norwich, April 24, 17'35, and Ids remains were interred, as his
venerable headstone shows, on the brow of the hill in the southeast corner of
the up-town burying lot in Nor\s'ich.
15. TuoMAS, born in Norwich, March 18, 166 1, must have attained some
distinction, since he appears on the record toward the close of his life with
that title, which in those days had highest significance, Thomas Hunting-
ton, Esq.
lie married, Feb. 10, 1686-7, Elizabeth, second daughter of Lieut. William
and Elizabeth (Pratt) Backus, one of the most enterprising of the Norwich
settlers. He was a professed Christian, and as appears from contemjjorary
records, an active and successfid business man. In the fall after his marriage
he removed with his cousin Joseph, (23) to aid in laying the foundations of
the new town of Windham. Here his name occurs often in the early records,
and always honorably. He received from liis father, a tract of land, lying to
the north of the town of Windham ; now lying in the towns of Windham and
Mansfield, his own house lot lying in the latter town. Accordingly, at the
organization of the Mansfield church, Oct. 18, 1710, Thomas Huntington
enters his name with ten others to constitute the new church. His wife's
name is recorded among the members, on the 25th of the same month and
year. He was ordained deacon, Feb. 20, 1714-15, and is in the record styled
Capt. Thomas Huntington. In his wiU, dated Oct. 31, 1732, he divides his
"lands and meadows, in and about the Nauchang Cedar vSwamps," to his three
sons, Tliomas, Jedidiah and Eleazer. His tomb stone bears this inscription :
"After he had served God and his people, Boath in Church and State, he fell
asleep in Jesus. Nov. 7th, 1732."
His wife died, Dec. 29, 1728. and was also buried in the Windham burying
ground.

ate, Mass.. in ICtS. He was the son of the Ilev. John Lathrop, who, for non-
conformity, being a i>reacher in the first congregational church organized in
London, was imprisoned for two years, and who on being released in 1634,
came to this country, and became the first minister of Scituate.
John ^yas, also, a,s the records show, a man who commanded the respect and
esteem of his fellow townsmen.
In 1601. Dec. 21. he was ai)pointed constable in Norwich.
17. Sl'sannaii, born in Norwich, in Aug. 1668. She married, Dec. 10, 1685,
Capt. Samuel Griswold, born Sept. 16, 1665, and son of that Lieut. Francis
Griswold, whom Miss Caulkins styles " one of the most active and enterpri-
sing men in the first company of settlers."
Her children were Francis, born Sept. 9, 1691 ; Samuel, born Feb. 8, 1693;
Lydia, born May 28, 1696; Hannah, born April 13, 1699; Sarah, born Jan.

and her husband having married again Hannah , died, Dec. 21, 1740.
His second wife died Feb. 25, 1752. Twenty-three of her grandchildren, and
sixty-four great srrandchildren. and still later descendants, are to be found in
Stiles' History of Windsor, under the Grisw^olds.
18. Lydia, or as the records have chosen to enter the name, Lydyah, was
born in Norwich, in Aus;. 1672.
19. Ann, born in Norwich, Oct. 25, 1675, married, Oct. 28, 1697, Jonathan,
son of Thomas and Mary (Rudd) Bingham. Her husband was born April 15,
1674, and was the third of eleven children. His father was afterwards deacon
of the Windham churcli. He had a family and descendants respectable both
in their numbers and for their characters.

23, 1676, Dr. Solomon, fourth son of Lieut Tliomas Tracy, of whom INliss
Caulkins says : •' in the company of the Norwich proprietors he ranked high,
having more education than most of them, and being in ability, enterprise and
integrity equal to the first." Solomon was one of six sons, who were all of
them active and leading men in the early history of the town. He was born
in Aug. 1663. She is mentioned in the will of her uncle Jos. Clark of Say-
brook, made Aug. 27, 1658, in Milford, and bequeathed five pounds. She
died in 1683, and her husband married again, in 1686, Sarah, widow of Thomas

and married March 31, 1698, Thomas, son of Lieut. Tliomas and Mary (Biish-
neU) LeffingweU; and Simon, born Jan. 8, 1679, married, Jan. 11, 1708, Mary
Leffingwell.
21. jNIary, born in Saybrook, in Aug., 1657 and married a Forbes of Preston.
22. Simon, born in Saybrook, Feb. 6, 1659, and taken by his parents to
Norwich in the spring of the next year. Here he married Oct. 8, 1683, Lydia,
born in Aug. 1663, daughter of John Gager, who in 1635 had gone from
Charlestown, Mass. to Saybrook, and subsequently to New London, and
thence in 1660 to Norwich. Her grandfather was that "right goodly man
and skillful chjTurgeon," who had come to America in 1630 with Gov. Win-
throp. And most worthy did she show herself to be of such an ancestry,
falling behind them, neither in the depth of her piety, nor in her skiU in min-
istering to all "aylements" both of the body and mind.
Like his cousin Christopher, Simon was destined to a most important ser-
vice in the early history of the home chosen for him by his parents. Inherit-
ing his fjither's piety and gifts, he was called by the church in 1696, to suc-
ceed him in the deaconship, and in this office he served with no less than the
father's tidelity and acceptance, as long as he lived.
lie was, also, engaged much upon the civil affairs of the town, serving in
many of its most important offices, with marked ability. His house, occupy-
ing a central position, was honored as the magazine for the defensive weapons
of the town, and as late as 1720, a report made to the town, states that it con-
tained a half barrel of powder, 31 pounds of bullets and 400 ffints.
In 1682 it was voted in town meeting, to grant " to Simon Huntington,
jun., to take up one hundred akers of land on the Shawtoket, not prejudicing
the highways nor former grants."
He died Nov. 2, 1736.
Lydia, his wife, as her gravestone attests, was born in Norwich, Aug. 8,
1663, Uved with him fifty-five years, and survived him nine months, and died
Aug. 8, in the 71:th year of her age.
23. Joseph, born in Norwich, in Sept. 1661, the first of this family born in
Norwich. Here he married, Nov. 28, 1687, Rebecca, third daughter of Dea-
Thomas Adgate, by his second wife, Widow BushneU, and born in June, 1666.
In the same year of his marriage he went with its founders to the new town
of Windham, and built his house on the very site, just east of the center of
the town, where a portion of its materials are yet found in a house still occu-
pied by his descendants of the fourth degree. Both himself and his cousin
Thomas were prominent members of the first church founded here, of w^hich
he was chosen deacon in 1729, being the fourth deacon furnished by the two
Norwich families of this name. He died in Windham, Dec. 29, 1747, and his
wife followed him Nov. 28, 1748.
Joseph Huntington of Windham, under date of July 16, 1697, deeds to
Richard Edgerton of Norwich, for £15 current pay, " all that my seventh lott
10
74 n u X r i n g r o x f a m i l y m e m o i u .
called one thousand acre interest of upland and meadow lying and being at
the place called Willimantuck, in the town of Windham aforesaid."
21. Elizabeth, was born in Norwich in Feb. 1004 and died in infancy.
2.5. Samuel, born in Norwich, March 1, 1605. Here he married, Oct. 29,
1686, Mary, daughter, probably of Wm. Clark of Wethersfield. He removed
to Lebanon in 1700, having sold his houselot and house in Norwich for a par-
sonage. Before his removal he had become a public man, having filled seve-
ral offices, being as early as 10U2 api)ointed constable, having already been
one of the Townsmen. How well he was thought of in Norwich, appears from
his appointment by the citizens of Norwich, ten years after his removal to
Lebanon, on a Committee to locate the new meeting house about which a se-
rious dispute had arisen. The site chosen by the committee was not approved
by the town, and the church was erected upon another spot. But a few years
vindicated the wisdom of the committee, as was abundantly testified by a
second church, built upon the place selected by them.
He was a large landholder both in Norwich and Lebanon : and for his ser-
vices as military manager, was entered on the records as Lieutenant, a title in
those days won only by a true martial bearing, and intended as a most hon-
orable distinction.
His wife's name appears on the list of the Lebanon church in 1701 ; but his
own was not added until 1707.
In 1087, Feb. 13, the town of Norwich granted him a parcel of land at Tra-
ding Cove Brook, " by his father's, to be laid out by measure, 30 or 40 rods
wide the length of his father's land.
He died in Lebanon, May 10, 1717 and his wife, Oct. 5, 1743.
20. Elizabeth, born in Norwich, Oct. 6, 1669. She married, April 0, 1090,
Joseph, the fourth cliild of Lieut. William and Elizabeth (Pratt) Backus, and
born Sept 6, 1667. Her husband was one of the members of the congrega-
tional church in Norwich in 1707.
Her children were Joseph, born March, 1091; Samuel, Jan. 6, 1693; Ann,
Jan. 27, 1695; Simon, Veh. 11. 1700-1; James, Aug. 14, 1703; Ehzabeth, Oct.
27, 1705; Sarah, July, 1709, and Ebenezer, March 30, 1712. Josejjh married
Hannah, daughter of Richard and ]\Iary (Talcott) Edwards and had a family
of four children, in Hartford, Conn. Simon, afterwards pastor of the church
in Newington parish in Wethersfield, married Eunice, daughter of Rev. Timo-
thy and P^sther (Stoddard) Edwards of East Windsor. He died Feb. 2, 1746
atLouisburg, Lsland of Cape Breton, being located there as Chaplain in the
New Entdand Army. He left eight children, of whom one was the Rev. Simon,
pastor of the church in Granby, and later of the church in Guilford, and who
died in Stratford, Aug. 7, 1823.
The descendants of this Elizabeth have been very numerous, and they include
many eminent and honored names. Tliirty-six of her great grandchildren,
with others of her descendants, are found recorded in Goodwin's Genealogical
Notes.

wife. Jan. 31. 1705-6, Abigail, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Rndd) Birg-
ham, who was born, Nov. 4, 1079, and died after becoming the mother of his
first five chihiren, Dec. 25, 1734. He married for his second wife, Rachel Wol-
cott of Windham. Tlie name of the first wife is found on the Norwich first
church records for the year 1707 : and on her grave stone are inscribed these
solemn warnings — " memento mori ;" and '• JMors vincet omnia." He does^'not
appear to have taken a very active part in the public affairs of the town, yet
was evidently a man of more than ordinary personal culture for those days,
and seems to have entailed upon his descendants a large portion of his own
native talent. His second, late, marrias*^ will introduce a most marked anach-
ronism into the family, making the fifth generation of his descendants nearly
synchronize with the seventh generation of some of the descendants of his
brother Simon. His name appears on the church records for the year 1724.
He died in Norwich, Sept. 13. 1741. His widow married, Nov. 30, 1742, Jo-
seph Bingham of Windham, who was born in 1687 and died, Sept. 4. 1765.
29. James, born in Norwich, May 18, 1680. Here he married Feb. 3,
1702-3, Priscilla Miller. He was a man of more than ordinary energy, and
was especially prominent in the more important business enterprises of the
town in that early day. He was appointed with Lieut. Thomas Tracy, in 1722,
" to go down to the Landing Place and lay out what may be needful for the
town's use ;" and " the next year," as ]Miss Caulkins correctly reiDorts, " Lieut.
Simon Lathrojj, Joshua, and James Himtington and Daniel Tracy, all spirited
and enterprising men, then in the prime of life, each obtained a conveniency,
and began improvements at the Landing-place."
Dec. 5, 1706, he deeded a 50 acre grant of land which was "granted me by
the town of Norwich near the southwest corner of the town bounds" to Job
Besstow.
He was the only one, in this generation, of that Huntington trio, of whom
the same historian of Nor^^^ch says, " in the early part of the next (18th) cen-
tury, there were, perhaps, no more distinguished men in the town."
He died, Sept. 3. 1727.

Samuel Huntington are thus reported in Hinman's Genealogy of the First
Puritan Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut. In 1721, Thomas and Simon
Huntington, late of Newark, now of Wliipanong, in the County of Hunterdon,
'' being equally interested in certain lands of our honored father, Samuel

41. Ruth, born in Norwich, Nov. 28, 1682, where she married, Jan. 8,
1707-8, Ralph Wheelock, of Windham, Conn., a son of Capt. Eleazer Wheelock,
of Mendon, Mass, who was born in 1683.
She deserves especial notice in this memoir, both for her own great personal
worth, and for the excellence and eminence of her descendants. Every tradi-
tion respecting her makes her a woman of unusual intelligence, and of rare
piety. Her home, the main theater of her life, was blessed equally by her
timely instructions, her holy example, and the administration of a gentle yet
firm discipline. She died in Windham, Sept. 1, 1725. Her husband married
for his second wife ]\Iercy Standish, by whom he had but one cliild, Mary, born
Nov. 28, 1728.
The children of Ruth were :
Ehzabeth, born July 18, 1709.
Eleazer, born April 22, 1711, graduated at Yale College 1733, with much
distinction, and ordained to the work of the ministry, in Lebanon, in 1735,
where he labored in the ministry, and in the work of teaching, until 1770-
^^^lile here he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the T'^niversity
of Edinburg. During these years he had been especially successful in teach-
ing Indian youth ; and the growth of the white population in that vicinity, led
him to seek a more retired post, and Hanover, N. PI., was chosen as the best
place for establishing an Academy for the thorough training of such English
and Indian youth as might be committed to his care. Hither he rejDaired, and
here he had the satisfaction of laying the foundations of what has since be"
come Dartmouth College, of which he was the first President. He married
for his first wife Mrs. Sarah Maltby, a daughter of Rev. John Davenport, of
Stamford, Conn., and for his second, Miss ]Mary Brismade, of Milford, Conn.'
Ruth, a daughter of his first wife, was the wife of Rev. Wm. Patten, D. D., of
F () r II r 11 a e n e n a t i o x . 79
Halifax, Mass., and mother of the Rev. Dr. "NVm. Patten, of Hartford, Conn. She
was a woman of marked accomplishments. Another daughter. Mary, married
Prof. Woodward, of Dartmouth College; Abigail married Prof. Ripley, of the
same college. John graduated in the first class of Dartmouth, in 1771,
and succeeded his father in the Presidency of the college, which office he filled
nearly forty years. His only child, a daughter, became the wife of the Rev.
Dr. Allen, now of Northamjjton, and late President of Bowdoin College.
Two other of his sons, Col. Eleazer, and James, graduated, also at Dartmoutli
College.
Ruth, born May 2.j, 171:].
Abigail, born March 8, 1717, married the Rev. Dr. Pomeroy of Hebron,
Conn., and was the mother of seven children, who lived to honor their parent-
age.
John, born Jan. l2 ), 1720, and died on the 2Uth of same month.
Sarah, born July 7, 172.5, married Dec. 21, 1742, Joseph Bingham, and had
seven children, the first of whom was Jerusha, born Oct. 15, 1743, married,
Sept. 19, 1709, Rev. Samuel Kirkland. the missionary to the Indians in Oneida,
New York, and father of Dr. John Kirkland, the distinguished President of
Harvard University, from 1810 to 1828.
Ralpli Wheelock, the husband of Ruth, was chosen deacon of AViudham
church in 1729. He died in Windham, Oct. 15, 1748.
42. Christopher, born in Norwich, Sept. 12, 1680, and married, first, Feb.
4, 1717-18, Abigail, widow of Barnabas Lathrop, who had died May 27, 1710.
She became the mother of eight children, and died, Juue 2, 1730. He married
second, May 2. 1733. Elizabeth Ensworth, of Canterbury, Conn., who had one
chihl, and died March 2. 1734-5. He married, third, June 4, 1740, iNIary
Brewster, who died without children, Dec. 24, 1749; when he married, fourtln
Feb. 7, 1750-1, Mrs- Mary Gaylord, of Hebron, Conn., who died, March 14,
1701.
This Chri.stopher removed to Nor^vich, West Farms, and here he lived, a
useful man and consistent Christian, on the place now held by liis descendant
of the third degree, and died Feb. 11, 1759. His first wife was the fifth
daughter of Caleb and Margaret (Post) Abel, and was born March 16, 1090.
43. Isaac, born Feb. 5, 1688, and married Feb. 21, 1715-10, Rebecca, great
grand daughter of Rev. John Lathroj), of England, and later of Scituate and
Barnstable, Mass. He was early brought into the public service, in which he
continued all his life. He was a professed Christian, having entered the
church in 1731, on whose records his name often occurs, in relations which
show he was regarded as a sound and safe ecclesiastical counselor. He was
appointed, Oct. 21, 1740, on a committee, with Simon Tracy, his cousin Daniel,
and Philip Turner, '-to labor for the conviction and recovering of the Sepa-
rates." These were the irregular and heterodox members of the church to
which he belonged. He was as successor to his father, chosen town clerk
Dec. 0, 1720, yet had performed the duties of the office, from an apparently
unknown date, commencing his services during the official period of his father,
80 HUNTINGTON FAMILY :\IEMOIR.
and with the aid of his son Benjamin, continuing them down to his own death ;
the last entry, by his hand, being on the 9th of Jan. 1764, but a httle more
than a month previous to his death. This record was " examined" and attested
by his son. He died, in the homestead built by his father, on soil taken from
the Indians, Feb. 23, 17G4, transmitting both his home and his office to his
youngest son.
He was the first of that " distinguished" trio referred to in the sketch of
No. 28.
44. Jabez, born in Norwich, Jan. 26, 1691. He married for his first wife,
June 30, 1724, Ehzabeth, daughter of Rev. Timothy and Esther (Stoddard)
Edwards, who was born in East Windsor, April 14, 1697, and who died in
Windham, Conn., Sept. 21, 1733. After her death, he married for his second
wife. May 21, 1735, widow Sarah Wetmore, who died in Norwich, March 21,
1783, in the 83d year of her age.
He removed to Windiiam, Conn., where he attained high rank among the
distinguished men of that important town, both in civil and in military life,
being, at his death, Sept. 26, 1752, a colonel of the Connecticut mihtia.
45. Matthew^ born in Norwich, April 16, 1694. He married for his first
wife, Sept. 3, 1719, :Mary Morgan, who died March 20, 1720-1, the birthday
of his first child. He married for his second wife, Dec. 12, 1721, Elizabeth
AVheeler, who, after becoming the mother of one child, died Oct. 3, 1725. He
married, the third time, May 17, 1726, Lydia Leonard. Receiving from his
father his portion from that part of his estate Avhich lies in what is now the
town of Preston, he built upon it and lived, and, it is believed, died upon it,
though the date of his death has not been found.
46. Hezekiaii, born in Norwich, Dec. 16, 1696. He married for his first
wife, July 9, 1719, Hannah Frink, who died Sept. 4, 1746. He married for
his second wife, March 23, 1748-9, widow Dorothy Williams, of Bristol, and
she died, Feb. 27, 1774, in her 67th year. In 1721 he and his wife united with
the First Congregational Church of Norwich, of wliich they both became
useful members, being himself appointed deacon in 1737. In the civil history
of his town and state, he also became a prominent man. He showed him-
self ever ready to second and aid any enterprise, either in business, in civil or
in rehgious affairs, which promised to promote the secular or rehgious inter-
ests of his native town. He was a member of the Connecticut Council from
1740 to 1743, and again from 1748 to 1773. He attained, also, the rank of
lieutenant-colonel in the Connecticut Militia. As the crisis of our revolu-
tionary history approached, he took a decided stand with the patriots of that
day. His naine is at the head of that committee of fourteen, of the promi-
nent patriots of Norwich, who were called by their fellow-townsmen to direct
the movement of the people, in the threatened conflict with the mother-land.
He was prominent in the earnest controversy which ended in making Norwich
half-shiretown of the county. He won the third place in that honored trio,
consisting of James, (28) Isaac, his brother, and himself. Tliough above re-
proach, he was not beyond the reach of serious charges against his personal
F U U K T H G E X E li A T I i) X . 81
character. This appears from the records of the Norwich church, as early as
Feb. 12, 1747-8. Dr. Benj. Wheat had reported a slanderous charge, which
he had overheard in Hartford, and had evidently aimed to make the most he
could of it, by his own unfavorable construction. But. not so was the true
and good man to be discredited. His o^^ti conscience moved the accuser pub-
licly to recall the slander with a frank confession of having been moved thereto
"by a want of brotherly love." It is believed that Hezekiah was not again
attacked during his life.
He proved himself an intelligent and scholarly man : and we find his name
among the subscribers to that work, so rare for its day, the Chronology of
Thomas Prince. He was appointed Judge of the County Court, and served
in this office, with no less success and distinction than in others he had filled-
In the midst of his judicial duties he died very suddenly, in New London, Feb.
10, 177'3. His gravestone in the old burying-ground, in Norwich Town, con-
tains this well-earned tribute : " His piety, afl'ability, prayers and example,
wisdom and experience, endeared him to his friends and the State."
47. Sarah, born in Norwich, Jan. 5, 1699-1700. She married, as his second
wife, April 23, 1724, Tliomas, son of Thomas Bingham, of Windliam. The
record of their children's birth is on the Norwich books, as follows: Sarah,
born March 7, 1730-1 ; Thomas, born Oct. 12, 1732 ; and Tryphena, born last
day of September, 1735.
48. Jeremiah, born in Norwich, Dec. 15, 1702, and died the next year.
49. Judith, born in Norwich, Sept. 10, 1707, and married, Nov. 10, 1725,
Samuel, son of Samuel Lefiingwell. Their children were : Hannah, born Sept.
22, 1726; Judith, born Jan. 28, 1728-9; Joanna, born Feb. 21, 1730-1; Sam-

June 4, 1745 ; and Rufus, born April 16, 1750, and died Nov. 28, 1752.
Samuel LeffingweU died Aug. 6, 1753.
50. John, born in Norwich, Nov. 14, 1709, and married, Nov. 5, 1735, Civil
daughter of Simon and Mary (LeffingweU) Tracy of Norwich. She was born
Dec. 8, 1712, and died Feb. 13, 1748-9. He married, for liis second wife,
1749, Mary, sister of his first wife, who died, March 7, 1786. His name occurs
on the town records occasionally among its officers, though he does not seem
to have been prominent, as his other brothers were. He united with the First
Church in Norwich in 1742, his first wife, who on the record is called Sibil, in
1744, and his second wife in 1758. He was engaged in brewing a considerable
portion of his life.
51. Elizabeth, born in Norwich, May 6, 1712. She married, April 19,
1733, Capt. Matthew, son of Jolm and Experience (Abel) Hyde, who was born
in Norwich, April 27, 1711, and lived in that part of Norwich which has since
become Franklin. She had a promising family of six sons and three daugh-
ters ; and her descendants are very numerous. She died in Franklin, May 20,
1776, and her husband, who after her death married Hannah Pember, died in

52. Jeremiah, bom in Norwich, Dec. 20, 1715. He married, Nov. 11, 1744,
Sarah Reynolds, who was bom, Nov. 21, 1725, and died, April 5, 1747. He
married for his second wife, Feb. 22, 1747-8, Hannah Watrous. At the close
of the Revolution lie went to Lebanon, N. H , where he died, June 18, 1794.
His first wife was daughter of John Reynolds of Norwich and Lydia Lord of
Lyme. His second wife was daughter of Ensign Isaac and Elizabeth (Brews-
ter) Watrous of Lyme, and was born Dec. 2, 1725.
XY. THOMAS, Deacon. * Mansfield, conn,
53. Thomas, born in Norwich, April 22, 1688, and married in Mansfield-
Sept. 6, 1711, Elizabeth, daughter of John Arnold. She died in Mansfield,
June 25, 1716, and he married, for his second wife, in April, 1733, Mehetabel,
daughter of James Johnson, of Andover. He joined the Mansfield church,
April 21, 1717, and seems to have been an active member. His name occurs
on the Windham records, Dec. 14, 1744, as guardian for Dorcas, daughter of
Wm. Huntington, and administrator on his estate. He died Jan. 8, 1755.
His second wife took with her a letter to the church, July 1, 1733, and died
in April, 1740.
54. Jedidiah, born in Norwich, March 14, 1692-3, where his and his older
brother's births are recorded. The only other records found of him is that,
noticed in the sketch of his father, his admission to the Mansfield church,
May 18, 1712, and his death on the Mansfield second book of records, April 2,
1780, aged 87 years.
55. Elizabeth, born, probably, in Windham, April 17, 1695, as her birth is
found on the Windham records. The marriage of Caleb Chappel and Eliza-
beth Huntington, Dec. 6, 1722, is found on the Lebanon records. It is proba-
bly this Elizabeth.
56. Eleazer, born in Windliam, July 28, 1697. Tlie Mansfield record has
the same birth, dated the 7th instead of the 28th. He married, so the Mans-
field record states, Feb. 25, 1718-19, Deborah, daughter of James Hovey. He
was admitted to the Mansfield church, Sept. 19, 1734, and died March 7,
1748-9. ILs wife died Feb. 26, 1784.

Her grandchildren were numerous, and among her descendants are many-
respectable and enterprising names. She died Oct. 6, 1757.
58. Lydia, born in Windham, in Feb. 1701-2. She married, Oct. 22,
1730, Dea. Nathaniel Wales of Windham, who died June 22, 1744.
59. William, born in Mansfield and recorded there only, March 27, 1705.
He married in Windham, March 12, 1731—5, Mary, daughter of Nathaniel Bas-
set. She died, as appears from the Windham records, June 1, 1740. The date
of his death is not on the record ; yet he could not have lived many years
after his wife, as the note of his brother Thomas' settlement of his estate
shows. The hst of his " effects personal" in the Windham probate records,
exhibits £100, 13s., lid., as the amount of their valuation. Dea. Ralph
Wheelock, husband of (41) was appointed, Dec. 13, 1745, to complete the set-
tlement of the estate.
60. Christopher, born in Mansfield, Oct. 3, 1707, and died. May 29, 1714.

Sept. 22, 1734, and married, Dec. 13, 1734, Ame, daughter of Israel Standish,
of Preston, Conn. His name is entered on the Mansfield record as I have
spelled it, twice, and his wife's twice. She is also called Ammi. On the Wind-
ham records the one is made Simeon and the other Amey. I have found noth-
ing further respecting them than what is entered respecting their children.
Widow Ammi Huntington died, as appears from the Mansfield records,
Feb. 24, 1798.
XVI. JOHN. Norwich, Conn.
62. Abigail, born in Norwich, Feb, 19, 1687, and probably married, April

His wife died July 14, 1739.
65. Hannah, born in Norwich, March 25, 1693-4, married April 4, 1725, in
Lebanon, John Huit. Such a marriage is on record there ; and this I sup-
pose to be the Hannah named.

70. Joshua, born in Norwich, Dec. 30, 1698, and married, Oct. 16, 1718,
Hannah, daughter of Jabez and Hannah (Lathrop) Perkins. He was admit-
ted to the church in Norwich, at the same time with his wife, in 1727. He
seems to have 'been a very active business man. As stated in the sketch of
James, (28,) he was one of the most forward in commencing the new settle-
ment at the Landing. He was allowed to take up " twenty feet square upon
the water on the west side of Rocky Point, on the north side of Lieut. La-
throp's grant, if it be there to be had ; not prejudicing the conveniency to be
laid out by James Huntington and Daniel Tracy." He was highest on the
list of subscribers to the bridge built in 1737, over the Shetucket to unite Nor-
wich and Preston, an enterprise in which none but moneyed men in that day
could engage. In his successful business career commenced that family dis-
tinction and wealth, which, at the opening of the Revolution, had placed his
two surviving children at the head of the aristocracy, even of their own aris-
tocratic town. He died Aug. 26, 17-15. His wife who was born in 1701 died,
also, in 1715.
XXUI. JOSEPH, Deacon*. windham, conn.
71. Joseph, born in Norwich, Aug. 29, 1688, and was taken in infancy by
bis parents to "Windham, where he married, July 6, 1719, Elizabeth Ripley of
Windham. He was a member of the Windham church and chosen deacon in
1751. His wife died Jan. 4, 1774, and he, Dec. 5, 1783. He was a man re-
markable for his great agility and strength, and, deacon though he was, he
was a Nimrod among the hunters of his day.
72. Nathaniel, born in Norwich, Sept. 1, 1691, and taken by his parents
to Windham. Here he married, Feb. 28, 1723, Mehetabel Thurston of Bris-
tol, R. I., who was born June 8, 1700, O. S. He was a farmer and clothier,
and lived in Scotland Society, Windham, where Le died Dec. 2, 1767. His
widow died Oct. 4, 1781. They were both members of the Windham Con-
gregational church.
73. JoNATHAX, born in Windham, Oct. 7. 1695. He married for his first
wife, Nov. 7, 1734, Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Drake)
Rockwell, who was born in Windsor, July 24, 1713 and died Sept. 24, 1751,
aged 38 years and two months. Her grave stone records her virtues thus :
" Faithful and dutiful wife, a kinder mother, charitable and beneficent
neighbor, an understanding and exemplary Christian, her delight wn.> in the
F O U R T H G E X E R A T I O X . 85
law of God and her life devoted to his glory. Christ Jesus, in whom she be-
lieved, was her all in prosperity, in adversity, in sickness and in death."
He married for his second wife, Aug. 7 1754, Mrs. Sarah Norton, who sur-
vived him, dying Feb. 19, 1788.
His grave stone contains this inscription, still legible : Hon. Jona. Hun-
tington, Esq., died Sept. 15, 1773, Etat. 77. He was for several years a mem-
ber of the Council of this colony and Judge of the Court for this county,
which important offices he sustained witli fidelity and reputation. He was,
from early life to the time of his death, an ornament and a successful practi-
tioner of physic. His life was a series of piety to God and benevolence to
mankind, and the closing scene exhibited a striking picture of that fortitude
and patience which Christ alone can inspire. Having endured the most ex-
quisite pains, without a murmur or complaint, he at last meekly resigned his
soul into the hands of Him who gave it, in well grounded hope of immortal
glory."
The testimony of his grave stone is abundantly confirmed by contemporary
history and by tradition.
He was an Assistant or member of the Uj^per House of the Connecticut
Council from 1751 to 1758, where his associates, among whom he stood high,
were among the ablest men Connecticut has yet produced : and the period of
his membership was a trying period of our colonial history — that of the san-
guinary French War. In May, 1749, he was appointed a Justice of Quorum,
and as such had a seat on the bench from the June term 1749 to 1754, when
he was appointed Chief Judge, and held this office until June 1757.

He was the chairman of the building committee, for the first church built in
the new society, in 1760. He died in Norwich, Aug. 9, 1801 ; and his w^ife, in
May, 1803, in the 78th year of her age.
92. Bex.jamix, born in Norwich, April 10, 1736, graduated at Yale, in 1761.
He married. May 5, 176.5, Anne, (151) of Windham. He entered, soon after
leavinc- coUege, upon the practice of law in his native town, and rose rapidly
to the front rank of his profession. He seems to have been unusually devoted
to his profession, being at once a severe student, and an active and successful
advocate and business man. Though rather shunning than courting public
life, he was not allowed to excuse himself from its claims ; nor, w^hen called to
meet them, did he shrink either from public duties or dangers. In 1775 he
was appointed, by the legislature of his native State, on the committee of
safety, appointed to advise with the Governor of the State during the recess
of the legislature. Only the ablest men and truest patriots of that trying day,
would have been put upon that important committee. Again, in 1778, on the
recommendation of AVashington, he was appointed by the legislature, one of
that convention to be held in New Haven, for the regulation of the army.
From 1780 to '84, and again in '87 and '88, he was a member of the Continen-
tal Congress ; and when the new government went into operation, in 1780, he
was chosen to represent Connecticut in the First Congress of the United
States.
From 1781 to 1790, and also from 1791 to '93 he was also a member of the
upper house of the Connecticut Legislature. On the incorporation of Nor-
wich city, in 1784, he was chosen, for an indefinite period, its first Mayor, in
which office he served until his formal resignation, in 1796. He was also ap-

pointed in 1793, a judge of the superior court of Connecticut, holding this
office until 1798. Thus, for more than twenty years, during the most eventful
period of our history, in which we had claimed and won our independence,
and had commenced our most successful career in self-government, was he
found continually called to serve his constituents in offices always onerous, and
often hazardous. How well he discharged these trusts, their own recurrence
will unequivocally evince. A word on this point, however, is due both to his
memory and to the truth of our revolutionary history.
For some reason, never explained, he was not in the early stages of prepar-
ation for the struggle, prominently identified with its measures. Our expla-
nation is that he was not only a young man, and therefore hesitated to put
himself forward; but, also, that he had formed such an ideal for his profes-
sional course, that all his strength and time were required in attaining it.
The stamp act dates with the year of his marriage, just as he had laid the*
l)lans for his professional studies, on which his entire success was to depend.
And, with a nice discernment of what was most needed by him, to prepare for
the future call, which his country would make upon hun, no less than to meet
the high demands of his profession, he gave himself to an earnest pursuit of
legal study and practice.
And, for the time being, he could be spared from the more pubhc discussions
and services which the incipiency of our revolution required. His family were
well represented in them by older members : Ilezekiah, (46) ripe in years and
counsel; Samuel, (232) already strong and facile for action; Jabez, (217)
with means and a heart for the work, and in the work; and stOl others of his
own family name, scarcely less ready and restive for the impending struggle,
rendered it possible for him, without a breach of faith to the cause, to await
a maturer preparation for ampler service to be rendered at a later day. And
that future service fully justified his decision. By the May of 1775, he was
found ready for an exigency which none but a strong man and true patriot
could meet. He filled acceptably the post to which the patriot legislature of
his native State called him; and the fact of that appointment is, itself, no
equivocal testimony respecting the position of their agent. They who were
called, in that crisis, to take the place of the legislature in advising with their
chief executive, during its period of adjournment, were known and tried men.
Nor would Washington have recommended him for appointment by the legis-
lature to that convention to be held in New Haven, in 1778, while the war was
yet in progress, to arrange for its increased efficiency, unless he had already
furnished ample proof, both of an interest not to be bribed, and a courage
never to be intimidated.
And that his family were thoroughly patriotic, and ready for any sacrifice
for which their country might call, is abundantly attested by this instance of
their personal devotion. On an occasion of pressing want on the part of our
revolutionary army, an earnest call was made upon the famihes of Norwich,
for supplies of clothing. In the absence of Judge Huntington, then away in
the service of the State, his wife, selecting a single blanket, in which to wrap

her youngest child, forwarded all the rest to the army ; and supplied their
place on the beds at home, by blankets cut from the carpets on the floor, pre-
ferring, for the present, well sanded floors, without their accustomed covering,
that so the noble patriotism of the needy army might be encouraged and
rewarded.
Few men and few famihes of those trying days can show a purer and more
patriotic record than he and his.

lived and died, a useful and honored man. He was a member of the Connec-

atic complaint, induced at first by his exposures in his military campaigns, he
died in Bozrah, March 20, 1814.
The following extracts from his correspondence, during his third and last
campaign, are here inserted, as illustrative of the character of the man, and
as containing authentic history of those days. From the camp at Fort On-
tario, Aug. 8, 1760, he thus writes to his father in Norwich, Conn : " After a
long and tedious march of thirty-one days from Schenectady, I arrived at this
place in good health, the 29th of July. I caU our passage from Schenectady
to this place a march, though we came by water all the way, only at three
FIFTH G E X E R A T I O N . 95
carrj-ing places, for we were obliged to wade a good part of the way up the
Mohawk River to Fort Stanwix, at the head of the river, which is about 140
miles from Schenectady. In this distance there is one carrying place of about
one mile. From Fort Stanwix, we carry about one mile again, and then take
"Wood Creek, which runs to the westward, and is a very small stream running
into Oneida Lake. * * * Yesterday the two snows that we have in
this (Ontario) Lake went down it, one of twenty and the other of eighteen
guns, with a party of batteaux with them containing about 2,000 men. I ex-
pect the remainder of the army will go after them to-morrow or the next day,
at furthest, to give the French a visit at Oswegoehwe."
Camp at Montreal, 10th Sept., 1760.
Honored Father :
"We landed on this Island, about eight miles above the city, last Sunday,
and marched down within about two miles of the city, where we encamped
without any opposition. Monday the French General capitulated. The in-
habitants of Canada are to enjoy their habitations and become subjects of
Great Britain. The regular troops are to be held as prisoners of war, and
they are about four thousand. Tlie Indians have never given us any trouble,
but rather fallen in on our side.
Sir, you have doubtless heard of our success at Fort Levee, now "William
Augustus, on the 17th of August. "We took a brig of fourteen guns and 120
men, within sight of the fort. There we landed on the two islands, on one
side of the island that the French fort was on, and on the main on the other
side of it ; and began to entrench and build batteries — the French firing uj^on
our men from their fort, but doing but little damage. The 23d we got our
batteries open, and began to play upon them from the two islands and the
main. The 25th, in the afternoon, the French surrendered and were all made
prisoners of war. There were about 300 men in the fort, and they had thirty-
five pieces of cannon, but no bombs. I cannot tell how many men we lost,
but our loss is but small. Col. Fitch lost two men by the wounds on board
our snows. The 31st we embarked at Fort "VMlUam Augustus for this place, and
we lost as many men in coming as we did at the siege, by reason of the falls
in the river. Capt. Smith, from New London, had five men drowned. * * *
Sir, we have orders for all the Provincials to march to-morrow morning
back to Oswego, wliich gives the regiments a great deal of uneasiness ; for we
are now 271 miles from Oswego, and one half of the way a strong current,
and it is not further, I suppose, from Albany by way of Crown Point, which
way we always expected to go. The reason of our going by the way of Os-
wesro, I cannot tell unless it be to work on the fort. ******
Honored Sir, these fines leave me in good health, as I have been ever since
I left home, for which I desire to be thankful. Let God have the praise of our
success over the enemy ; and may we never have occasion for another cam-
paign in this country again.
Sir, your most obedient son,
ELIJAH HUNTDsGTON.

145. Elizabeth, born in Norwich, Nov. 1. 1725. She was married in

son of Rev. John and ]\Iartha (Gould) Davenport, of Stamford, Conn. Her
husband was born in Stamford, 1715, and graduated at Yale, 1732. He was
a most worthy, and truly noble man, sustaining many ofiices, civd and mili-
tary, with very marked ability. '• Col. Davenport was possessed of a vigorous
understanding and invincible firmness of mind, and of a weight of character
which for many years decided, in this county, almost every question to which
it was lent. He was early a professor of religion, and adorned its doctrines
by an exemplary conformity to its precepts." He was for many years one of
the council of the state, and at liis death was judge of the Fairfield county
court. " Of his country and all its great interests he was a pillar of granite."
So testifies no lower authority than Dr. Dwight, to the character of Col. Dav-
enport. His wife, who was quite infirm, for the last few years of her life, died
Dec. 17, 1773. After her death he married again, Aug. 8, 1776, Mrs. Martha

moved to Mansfield, Conn. He was engaged in the French "^^'ar of 1756-60 ;
for which he enUsted a company of about sixty soldiers from Mansfield and
vicinity, and started with them for the seat of the war on Lake George. Li
attempting to take up the Hudson, a number of barges, the task proved more
than a match for the strength of his company. One after another of his men
gave out, and to supply the deficiency, as far as possible, he exerted himself
all the more earnestly, aiding with his own muscular arms the tugging at the
boats, until he succeeded in taking his entire charge over the last rapids in his
way. But he had overtasked his mortal powers, and he fell suddenly, a vic-
tim to exertions which were deemed even in that day of prodigies, almost
superhuman. He died at Greenbush. His widow subsequently married Capt.
Peleg Heath. An old sword which he used, about four feet long, with an
immense guard above the hilt nearly ten inches in diameter, was for several
years in the family, but was subsequently worked up into butcher knives.

companies, furnished by Shaftesbury for the service, and honored his cap-
taincy. He was in the unequal fight of Hubbardston, on the 7th July, 1777,
and of course was obliged to yield to the superior force, under Burgoyne's
elated generals, Frazer and Riedesel. Yet not without the most determined
resistance, did the company which he led. yield the ground, nor indeed would
they consent to save themselves by flight. He, himself, was overborne by the
sudden onset of Riedesel, after he had been successfully contesting the ground
with the forces under Frazer, and was taken prisoner. He was kept for six
months on board a prison ship, during which he was taken from Quebec to
New York, where he was exchanged, with other prisoners, for those of the
same rank in the hands of the Americans.
He subsequently devoted himself to the more peaceful pursuits of hus-
bandry, and enjoyed the confidence, and shared in the honors awarded by his
fellow-citizens. He was emphatically a peace maker. He died in Shaftesbury,
July 2, 1822, a member of the Baptist church.

tinued in this serxnce until 1778. The folloTnng extract from Rev. Mr. Learn -
ed's account of the churches and ministers in Windham County, Conn., will
explain his mournful end. '• Tradition says that in the summer of 1778, he
was called home from the army by the sickness of a child ; that having over-
staid the period of his furlough, he was met on his return by the report that
he had been superseded in office. This news so affected him, that he put an

Mass., Sept. 28, 1763. His early ministry gave much promise of future use-
fulness and eminence, but the hopes of his people and friends were soon dis-
appointed. Quick consumption brought him to what all good people thought
to be an untimely end. Though he had scarcely made proof of his fine talents,
yet he had won a generous confidence in his great abilities and still more in
his. deep and fervent piety. He died, without marrying, in Salem, May 30, 1766.

17, 1805, widow Lathrop, whose maiden name was Betsey Hyde, also, of
FrankUn. He spent the early portion of his life in his native town, where he
was respected and honored. His fidelity as grand juror of the county, is
evinced in a presentment which he made before Richard Hyde, one of his Ma-
jesty's Justices, in 1771. of five young persons — ^three of them specimens of
the fast young men, and two. of the independent young women of that law-
keeping day — for •• meeting together and walking in the street in company.

tered the medical profession, practicing first in Ashford, and afterwards in
Canaan, Conn. He married Mary Ward of Attleborough, Mass., who was
born, May 8, 1753, and died, March 31, 1828. He died in Canaan, Feb. 22,
1835. He was a man of a most genial disposition, making himself one of the
most companionable of men. He was especially interested in the young, and
for the age in which he lived, devoted himself, with no ordinary success, to
their improvement. He was an early friend of common schools, and earnestly
insisted upon the most efficient disciphne and thorough instruction in them.
He took great pains to secure good teachers and made himself their friend
and helper. He left a volume of essays, which evince this interest in their in-
creased intelligence and efficiency; and which show him to have been a man of
an earnestly inquisitive mind. The preface to that volume, which was copy-
righted Dec. 12, 1829, is a witness to his interest in the young, both as regards
their intellectual and their moral culture.
" Having in years past attended to the duty of visitor of schools, I was
pleased with the propriety and importance of a paragraph in the statutes of
Connecticut, which directs to the appointment of the visitors of schools. The
paragraph alluded to was in substance as follows : the visitors shall instruct
the youth in letters, in religion, in morals and manners. I was convinced of
the utility and importance of inculcating these things in early life ; and the
sciences of Natural Philosophy, Geography, and Astronomy, include many
things which are very delightful, useful and ornamental, and which may be
easily attained by all youths of common capacities. I have made some essays
on these and other topics of literature, and have endeavored to exhibit some
correct ideas on some very important theological subjects ; and have made
some observations upon the entire superiority of Christianity over all pre-
tended schemes of religion, either ancient or modern, by fair comparison; and
have just touched on some moral subjects. If I had viewed these subjects as
being in any measure unimportant, I should have saved myself from much
anxiety in attending to them. I hope that the infirmities of age may, in some
measure, apologize for any inelegancies of diction which may have escaped for
want of sufficient re\*isal."
The topics treated of in the essays, are : Letters ; Geography ; Attraction
of Cohesion: Air; Light and Colors; Astronomy; Theology; God; Man;
Saving Faith ; Means of Grace ; Decrees of God ; Industry and Intemperance.

the period of the Revolution in public service, civil and miUtary, and subse-
quently he was much in public Ufe. He was a member of the convention for
forming the state constitution, and of that for ratifying the United States
Constitution ; and for many years was in one or the other branch of the state
legislature : was one of the executive council of the state ; was for two terms
a representative in Congress ; and for many years was a trustee and finan-
cial agent of Dartmouth College. He died Aug. 20, 1808. His widow sur-
vived him many years. She was an intelligent and devotedly pious woman.
So thorough was she in ordering her household aright, that, during the fre-
quent and often protracted absences of her husband, she seldom failed to con-
duct the usual morning and evening devotions, although the household was
at times, very large, embracing as it did several workmen and domestics. Nor
did she allow the weakness and infirmities of age to interfere with the formal
discharge of her religious duties. An incident is related in a biographical
sketch of this interesting Christian, written for the Boston Recorder, worth
preserving as eminently characteristic of her piety. A clerg\TTian who visited
her two or three years before her death, on kneeling to offer prayer '• re-
quested her in her infirmity to remain seated in her chair ; but she rose and
placed herself upon her knees at the age of 95. uttering these memorable
words : ' It never yet hurt me to kneel in prayer.' "
She died, Sept. 8, 1846, wanting but three months and a single week of be-
ing 98 years old.

in 1750, a member of the general assembly of his native state, for many
years represented his native town to the universal acceptance of his
fellow citizens, presiding, often, over the deliberations of the lower house.
Early after his graduation he entered into the West India trade, and by an
honorable and efficient business career, laid the foundations of one of the
amplest fortunes of that age. At the commencement of our revolution he
was the owner of a large amount of shipping, which of course was very greatly
endangered by the rupture with the mother land. But his patriotism pre-
vailed over his commercial and pecuniary ambition. He cheerfully sacrificed
his property and consecrated himself and his family to the cause of independ-
ence. He was one of the most active of the committee of safety during the
war : and in the September session of the assembly for the year 1776, he was
appointed one of the two major generals from Connecticut, for the militia of
the state, David Wooster being the other; and on the death of Wooster, from
a wound received in the skirmish with the British, retreating from Danbury,
in April of the next year, he was appointed major general over the entire
Connecticut militia.
His great exertions, made for his country's cause, during those trying years
of our national history, together with the great pecuniary losses which, in
such a struggle, were inevitable, were too much even for his strong mind and
vigorous frame. As the pressure of the early excitement and indispensable
action passed away, it was soon seen how greatly they had impaired his phys-
ical and mental powers. ' '' On finding himself disabled from public service, he
resigned all his offices, and spent the remainder of his life in retirement, at his
seat in Norwich. He was seized with a fatal complaint, in Feb. 1779, and
after a gradual decline of more than seven years, he died, Oct. 5, 1786."
Gen Huntington was a man of religious principle, having united with the
church in 1741. It was very justly said in the funeral sermon delivered over
his remains, '• That a great man is fallen in tliis Israel, need not be mentioned
for the information of this assembly." It is also stated in a note appended to
the sermon, '* he sustained an amiable and worthy character in the domestic
relations and private walks of life." One other passage from that sermon,
deserves transcribing for this notice : " As the train of melancholy distress
which brought him to his end, probably originated from his painful and
unremitted exertions for his country, in the time of danger; his country,
surely, will not withhold the tear of grateful sorrow, but pay deserved respect
to his memory, and teach succeeding generations to revere his dust; and as
they pass his urn, to say, ' there lies the man who devoted his all to the public
good; who sacrificed his ease, his health, and eventually his life, to serve and
save liis country.'"
But one incident in his life, almost too sacred for the page, even of family
history, must here be sketched, as most distinctly and fully exhibiting his real
character.
At the beginning of the revolution he was m the easiest and most prosper-
ous worldly circumstances. His home was one of the most desirable, such as
FIFTH G E X E R A T I O X . 109
any family might be proud of. and wish to keep. Yet such were his business
operations, that the threatened rupture must necessarily endanger them all.
His family were now coming forward into mature manhood, with every prom-
ise of abundant wealth. This promise the rupture would probably for many
years disappoint. Both the present condition and future prospects of his chil-
dren, to whom he was attached, with no ordinary ties, no less than his own home
were at stake. Should he run the risk ? Should he court the danger? Should
he deliberately invoke on such prosperity and such peace, so certain calamity ?
It was a trying question. It was well pondered by him. Himself and wife
deliberated and prayed over it. They counted together the cost, and as the
stern necessity approached they calmly and firmly decided to accept for them-
selves, personally, the peril of an open and final espousal of the cause of
independence.
But, should their children be urged to unite with them in this perilous de-
cision V On a bright morning, in the year 1774, when already the low mutter-
ings of the coming storm were heard by the wakeful patriots of that day,
Gen. H. and his noble wife had called together all the members of their be-
loved family to meet this issue. Five sons and two daughters — three of the
sons with their youthful wives, are the thoughtful group in that mansion
parlor. Even that httle clear-eyed Zachariah, not yet in his tenth summer,
must take his little seat and be one in that solemn act of patriotism, which
they meet to perform. They are now ready. The father, tremulous with an
emotion which even his own well schooled spirit could not entirely repress, as
was fitting, leads them in an earnest supplication for divine guidance, and in
some such words as these, broke the deep silence which follows.
" Children," said he, " your mother and I have been deciding for ourselves a
question of duty to our country — a question which is to aflect seriously our
worldly circumstances and prospects. Before a final decision, which shall em-
brace you, personally, in the act of hostility to our dear mother land, we wish
you also to count the cost. The risk must be great. Our homes, our stores,
our ships, our lands may all be burned, or sunk, or ravaged, yet our country
we may save. These colonies we may contribute to make independent and
prosperous states. This land we may contribute to make a home for
constitutional liberty, an asylum to which the abused and outraged of every
other land may come for shelter — a land populous and prosperous, rich and
happy. Believing this, and hoping this, we have solemnly decided that ours,
henceforth, shall be the cause of the patriots. We have pledged ourselves,
our property, our time and our lives, if need be, to this end. We shall now
leave you to choose your lot with us, and assume its risks and dangers, or take
your places with those who prefer still to cling to the mother land, to whose
sway your parents can be no longer loyal!"
Then deUberately addressing each member of the family by name, he
slowly asked the eventful question, solemnly repeating each name: " Jedidiah,
Andrew, Joshua, Ebenezer, Elizabeth, Mary, Zachariah — my beloved boy, — are
are you all ready to go with your parents, and share our risks and our reward '?"
110 II U X T I X G T O X F A M I L Y M E M O I R .
Xot long did that beloved father await their reply. With one voice, they
, break the solemn silence, by a pledge of consecration to their parents' and
their country's cause ; nor did trial, or dana'er, or losses, ever find one of that
devoted band, ready to recall the pledge so made. Their names were all
identified with the protracted struggle which resulted in the independence of
the United States ; and so well did they perform the part assigned them in
that memorable achievement that the faithful historian of those days has been
obliged to leave this testimony to their success; "if the annals of the revolu-
tion record the name of any family which contributed more to that great
struggle, I have yet to learn it." (See Gilman's oration at the Norwich Bicen-
tennial celebration.

232. Samuel, born July 3, 1731. His early boyhood was spent upon the
farm, in the shop, and in such common schools as the parish of Scotland in
that day could aflbrd. At sixteen years of age, he was, as was customary
then, apprenticed to a cooper living near his father, to learn his trade. Here
he spent the most of the time until he was of age. But, though an industrious
boy, he was also noted very early for his serious and thoughtful air, and yet
more for his studious habits. AMiatever books he could get possession of, he
seemed determined to make his own ; and the usual pastime of ordinary boys
became the most busily employed moments of his youth. '• His mind," says
the historian of Norwich, in a very truthfid sketch of his life which apj)ears in
her Norwich History, " was naturally acute and investigating, and his thirst
for mental improvement so great as to surmount all obstacles."
When ready to commence business for himself, as cooj)er, he found himself
with a well stored head and an excited and working brain. Though contrary
to his father's wishes, he gradually extended his reading, and even took his
regular hours daily, for studying by himself the Latin language, which, with-
out a teacher, he learned to read with facihty and profit, and by the time he
had entered on liis twenty-second year he had deliberately laid hold of the
112 H U X T I X G T O X F A .AI I L Y M E ,AI O I R .
legal profession as the calling into which he had grown. "With few books, and
those mainly borrowed, yet with a zeal and perseverance which no discour-
agement could repress, he urged his way to the bar, and before his thirtieth
year had ended, he was not simply an established lawyer, but one who had
already won distinction. As early as his twenty-eighth year, he had been
drawn from his native town to Norwich, as a better field for his professional
career. He found am.ong the fair maidens of his native town, the daughter
of his pastor, Rev. Ebenezer Devotion, one who for her comely looks and se-
rious and intelhgent ways had early won his regard, and moved his affections.
She, too, inherited the same spirit which from his Puritan ancestors had de-
scended upon himself. Her grandfather had taken for his wife, a daughter of
that Edward Taylor who had been expatriated from Coventry, England, be-
cause, after the restoration of Charles he was found too good a man to en-
dure so insufferable corruption ; and her father drew liis spirit and blood from
the purest and most heroic of even Huguenot veins ; so that IMartha Devotion
was fitted by birth and by training, to join her fortunes with that of the now
aspiring civilian. Their marriage took place April 17, 1761.
Few marriages have brought together two more congenial spirits. Each
was the other's helpmeet. Blessed with no children of their own, they were
the more a care and joy to each other. Their home was felt to be a home to
aU who had the good fortune to enjoy its hospitalities. Nor did their cheerful
fireside long or often want the joyous gladness, which a welT filled quiver of
happy children gives. Two of the gifted children of his brother, Joseph, knew
no other home. They found this all ready for them. Tliey were early in it,
as if born to it ; and to the last, they showed an affection and dutifulness to-
wards their parents by adoption, which would do honor to any child, if wit-
nessed towards his own parents. Their home was also the resort of a large
circle of relatives and friends, made welcome with a cheer as bountiful as it
was spontaneous. The following picture drawn by the pen of the historian
of Norwich, is too truthful and too full of the very soul of that early day, to
be omitted here.
" After the war, he built a new house and lived in quiet dignity. A lively
and happy circle of young people used frequently to assemble in this house.
as visitors to the Governor's adopted children, or attracted by the beautiful
Betsey Devotion, Mrs. Huntington's niece, and the belle of AVindham, wlio
spent much of her time here. After the social chat and merry game of the
parlor had taken their turn, they would frequently repair to the kitchen, and
dance away till the oak floor shone under their feet, and the pewter quivered
upon the dressers. These pastimes, however, had httle in them of the nature
of a ball ; there were no expensive dresses, no collations, no late hours. Tliey
seldom lasted beyond nine o'clock. According to the good old custom of Nor-
wich, the ring of the bell at that hour, broke up all meetings, dispersed all
parties, put an end to all discussions, and sent all visitors quietly to their
homes and their beds.
Mrs. Huntington was an affable but very plain lady. It is still remembered,
F I F T H GEN E K A T I O X . 113
that in a white short gown and stuff petticoat, and clean mushn apron,
with a nicely starched cap on her head, she would take her knitting and go
out by two o'clock in the afternoon, to take tea unceremoniously with some
respectable neighbor, the butcher's or blacksmith's wife perhaps. But this was
in earUer days, before JVIr. Huntington was President of Congress or Gov-
ernor of Connecticut."
But there was a still higher charm wliich adorned and hallowed that home :
and one which is much nearer the secret of that great eminence to which it
was so soon destined. Religion had set her holy seal upon its united head.
Born of pious^parents and descended from ancestors marked for their faith,
they both had early yielded to the redeeming grace. Both had enrolled them-
selves among God's people — the husband before going to Norwich, and the
wife soon after ; and both were characterized for a piety, as unpretending as
it was sincere, and as uniform as it was deep and fervent. For nothing was
Mr. Huntington more marked through his entire public life than for his con-
scientious discharge of religious duties. In his family, in the prayer meeting,
in the public services of the sanctuary, he was always found at his post and
always ready for whatever duty the hour called him to perform. Old men
who have died in our times, have recalled the fervor of his prayers and the
unction of his exhortations in the social meeting ; and the testimony of all
who knew him, is uniform as to the steadfastness of his Christian principle, and
the purity of liis Christian character.
But, it is rather as a pubhc man, and civilian, that Mr. Huntington is best
known in history, and it is much to be regretted that for the truth of our his-
tory, no suitable biography of this eminent man has yet been written. It may
have been in part owing to his excessive modesty, which led him to shrink
from all public notice of his official career, during his life time ; and it is
doubtless also owing to the fact that he left no descendants to keep his
memory before the generations that have lived since his day.
That he was an eminent actor during our revolutionary period, and a model
statesman in those trying years, during which our government was in process
of formation ; that he was a wise and popular governor of his native state,
where none but great and good men could hope for such a post ; and that he
made himself all this from a very humble station in his youth, without the
aids of wealth and family fame, is the extent of our historic testimony to his
memory. AVe have the statement without the exhibition of his greatness ; a
sort of involuntary admission of his claims to eminence, with no attempts to
set it forth. And such testimony, it must be conceded, is no shght compli-
ment to the man who has won it. It is even the noblest tribute to his worth.
It makes him a character, above question, above reproach. He was so good
and so prominent, and so fitted for all the exigencies of the day, that no one
questioned his eminence, and no one needed to blazon it abroad ; Hke the sum-
mer sun, or the gentle shower that all enjoy, yet of which little mention is
made.
The public life of !Mr. Huntington, commenced in 1764, when he represented
15
114 H U X T I X G T (7 X FAMILY MEMOIR.
Norwich in the general assembly. It was certainly fortunate that such a man
should have commenced his public service, at just such a crisis. The famous
and odious stamp act had just been designed and laid before pariiament ; and
the assembly, of which he was for the first time a member, would be called to
meet the responsibility of yielding to the oppressive measure^ or of opposing
and resisting it. Grenville, now become prime minister, was urging forward
the measure to its enactment, and men of clear heads and stout hearts were
needed to confront hmi. Among these, Mr. Huntington soon became promi-
nent. Both in the assembly and amoTig his townsmen at home, he exposed the
oppressive nature of the act, and gave his ready voice and vote against a re-
cognition of its authority. When the town clerk of Norwich, bis kinsman,
Benjamin. (1^3) called a town meeting. April 7, 1765, to learn if the citizens
wished him to use the stamps to be furnished by the crown^ he was present to
urge, what the meeting unanimously voted : '• that the clerk shall proceed in
his ofl&ce as usual, and the town will save liim harmless from all damage that
he may sustain thereby."
Tlie cause which he now espoused, and the govermental principles which he
now advocated, were his pole star throughout his life. He was henceforth to
be with the people, against all oppressive and unconstitutional acts of their
rulers, even to the bitter but unavoidable end of revolution. The creed wliich
was so soon to be immortahzed in the declaration of a nation's indej^endence,
was already the most vital main-spring of his pubhc acts. Yet. though op-
posed, with all his heart, to the stamp act, he was stiU a most loyal subject of
the crown. He advised all moderation until bett^^r counsels should prevail in
parliament, as he firmly behevcd would soon be the case. He was appointed,
in 1765, the very year when the stamp act was to go into operation, the king's
attorney for his state, and was of course expected to see that no disrespect
should be shown the crown. This office he held until other official duties
obliged him to resign it. In 1773, he was nominated a member of the council
or upper house of the Connecticut assembly, and took his seat in 1775. In
1774 he was appointed associate judge of the superior court of Connecticut.
In Oct., 1775, the general assembly of which he was now a member, appointed
him with such men as Roger Sherman, Oliver Wolcott, Titus Hosmer and
"William Wilharas, a delegate to congress, in which body he took his seat on
the sixteenth of Jan. 1776. Of this body he was a member until 1780 ; and
it is due to the history of those years, the most eventful in our national exist-
ence, to say that no member of those busy congresses was more marked for
his diligent and laborious working, or for his unselfish patriotism, or for his
wise statesmanship than Mr. Huntington. None were consulted oftener or
with more confidence than he ; and none were readier to suggest or wiser to
plan. Tlie year on which he took his seat, finds hmi on many of the most
important committees, such as were equally creditable to his head and his heart.
"With Jefferson and Livingston, we find him on the committee of Indian affairs,
with Paine and Wilson and Lee and Morris, on that upon the manufacture of
arms; with Wythe and Rutledge and Paine, on that on the capture and con-
FIFTH GEXEPwATlOX. 115
demnation of prisoners ; with the committee of one from each colony on sup-
phes of ammunition; and on several committees raised to consider special
cases of appeal, as that of Christopher Leffingwell, on the cargo of the brig
Nancy; that of Henry Keppele, on sentence ; and that of Hewes, a defrauded
prisoner.
In March of this same year we find him appointed, also, a member of the
marine court, constituted for the control of our navy. Nor was he less con-
spicuous on the memorable fourth of July of this memorable year. Four
Connecticut names, of which his was not the least, are autographed on that
Declaration of Independence, which was to witness to all coming generations,
equally, the patriotism and the treason of its signers : " names," in the prophetic
language of our last historian, "' that will be household words m every family
in the state, as long as the principles of 1776 shall survive in the hearts of the
people."
How true to this hazardous declaration of his principles, Mr. Huntington
subsequently proved; how intelligently and fearlessly he met all the respon-
sibilities involved in it ; how, step by step he showed himself more and more
indispensable to its efficient maintenance ; how he won for himself, from the
leaders of that day, the place and honor of leadership over even themselves,
is abundantly attested by their vote of Sept. 28, 1779, in which he is chosen
their Puesident, with a unanimity as honorable to them as to him. Nor did
he fail in this trying office, an office which called for the highest qualities both
of the jurist and statesman. From the date of his election, until his resio-na-
tion, July 6, 1781, he was most incessantly and acceptably engaged in the en-
grossing cares of his office. Perhaps no one of those honored men who were
called to that eminent post during the formative period of our government,
occupied it with more credit than he. Certainly never did congress show
sincerer reluctance than when, from utter exhaustion of his strength, he was
forced to ask either for a temporary, or a final retirement from the office.
For two months they delayed seeking for a successor, hoping that meanwhile
he might so far recover as to justify his continuance. But such had been the
tax upon his strength that he was compelled to insist upon his resignation,
about a month before the close of his second year. The resignation was
accepted, and a hearty vote of thcinks testified to the confidence which con-
gress reposed in him as the chief executive of the nation, and their gratitude
for his im]3artial and able administration.
On retiring from the oppressive duties of his presidential career, he resmned,
in August, his judicial post in the superior court of his native state, and also
his seat in the council of the state.
In May of the next year, he was again elected to congress, but his health
did not permit him to occupy his seat. Such service as he was able to render
his country he still continued to perform in his official positions at home. Yet
such was the impression among his fellow-citizens of the need of his counsel
and statesmanship in congress, that he was again appointed in 1783 ; and in
July of that year w^e find him once more a member of that body. In this
116 II U X T I X G T O X FAMILY 31 E M O I R .
office we find him unwearied and faithful as before, until his strength giving
out, he was obliged to take his final leave of the national* council, which he
formally did on the fourth of November, 1783. Ko plea from hi", native state,
which he had now so signally honored, could induce him again to accept a
nomination for a post for %vhich he felt he had not the requsite strength. He
now retired to his beloved home, in Norwich, but not to the rest of private
life. In 1781 he was appointed chief justice of the superior court of Con-
necticut. In 1785 he was chosen lieutenant-governor of the state ; and the
following year he was elected to succeed governor Griswold, as the chief
magistrate. This office he continued to fill, being annually re-elected until
his death.
As the chief justice of his state, he showed the same abihty which had
marked him in other official stations. Indeed, this seemed preeminently the
place for which he was fitted. His studies had made him fainiliar with the
history and science of jurisprudence. He had the patience needed for the
complete mastery of whatever evidence or analysis was essential to the case.
He was remarkable for his urbanity, his impartiality, and his inexorable
demand for what was true and right. The following testimony on this point,
from the Biography of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence, is
fully authorized by aU we have been able to gather regarding his judicial
course. " Having at all times a perfect command over his passions, he pre-
sided on the bench with great abihty and impartiahty. No judge in Con-
necticut was more dignified in his deportment, more courteous and poHte to
the gentlemen of the bar, or more respected by the parties interested in the
proceedings of the court. His name and his virtues are frequently mentioned
by those who remember him in his judicial capacity, with respect and vener-
ation."
As governor of his native state, he was exceeded in the coi^dence he in-
spired and in the esteem he won, by none of those great men who, at different
times, have made that office illustrious. Perhaps the elder Trumbull, the
right hand man of Washington in the most perilous days of our revolutionary
period, exceeded him in popularity. But to stand second to such a man in
popular admiration, and his peer in the popular confidence, is enough for the
lasting fame of any man. Such, doubtless, was the true position of Mr. Hun-
tington among the Connecticut governors.
The following testimonials to his personal characteristics wiU complete our too
meager sketch of tliis truly eminent and estimable man. The same authority
just quoted, says: " In his person, Mr. Huntington was of the common stature,
his complexion dark, and his eye bright and penetrating ; his manners were
somewhat formal, and he possessed a peculiar faculty of repressing imperti-
nence, and keeping aloof from the criticising observations of the multitude.
Without inflicting upon others the consciousness of inferiority, he never de-
scended from the dignity of his station. * * * Being a man of great sim-
pUcity and plaimiess of manners, he was averse to aU pageantry and parade,
and strictly economical in his expenditures. He maintained that it was a
FIFTH GEXEKATIOX. Ill
public duty to exhibit such an example as might, so far as his individual efforts
could avail, counteract the spirit of extravagance which had begun to appear.
His principal aim in his domestic arrangements was comfort and convenience
without splendor; although not hostile to good living, he was simple, sparing
and temperate in his diet. His conversation, studiously avoiding frivolous
topics, was eminently instructive, and he delivered his sentiments in few, but
weighty words. He inherited from nature a large share of that dehcacy and
sense of propriety which distinguish the man of honor and refinement. * * *
It may be truly said that no man ever possessed greater mildness or equanim-
ity than Mr. Huntington. A living witness can attest, that during a long
residence of twenty-four years in his family, he never, in a single instance, ex-
hibited the shghtest symptoms of anger, nor spoke one word calculated to
wound the feelings of another, or to injure an absent person."
]\Iiss Caulkins, in her Norwich history, concludes her sketch of this eminent
and good man, with this testimonial to his piety. "Mr. Huntington was
always a constant attendant on public worship, and for many years a professor
of religion. In conference meetings he usually took a part, and on the Sab-
bath, if no minister chanced to be present, he occasionally led the services, and
his prayers and exhortations were always solemn and acceptable. During his
last sickness, he was supported and animated by an unwavering faith in Christ
and a joyful hope of eternal life. This sketch cannot be better concluded,
than with the earnest wish breathed by a contemporary panegyrist : ' May
Connecticut never want a man of equal worth to preside in her councils, guard
her interests, and ditfuse prosperity through her towns.'"
Though never a member of college he was honored equally by Yale and
Dartmouth, from each of which he received, in 1787, the degree of LL. D.
The disease of which ]Mr. Huntington died, was dropsy of the chest, and his
death occurred Jan. 5, 1796. His estimable wife had died eighteen months
before, June 4, 1794, aged 56 years.
233. Jonathan, born June 17, 1733. Without a collegiate education he
became both a physician and a preacher, and in both professions maintained
an honorable rank. He married in Lebanon, Oct. 26, 1757, Sarah, (291) who
proved a true helpmeet for him, both in his care for the souls and the bodies
of men. He was ordained and installed as the first pastor of the church in
AVorthington, Mass., June 26, 1771, where he continued to officiate acceptably
to the close of his life, March 11, 1781. His wife died May 13, 1793. Mr. H.
was a man of warm sympatliies. He saw sufibring only to pity and relieve it.
He early became interested in the condition and labored for the improvement
of the colored race in this country. He was one of the three pastors who
encouraged the celebrated Lemuel Haynes to fit for the ministry, and cheerr
fully testified to the gifts and fitness of that wonderful man.
234. Joseph, born May 5, 1735. He graduated at Yale, 1762. His father
had destined him to be a clothier, and kept him at this trade through his mi-
nority, much against his own wishes. But, moved like his older brother,
Samuel, by a passionate love of books, and like him, though not to the same

remarkal3le degree, gifted with unusual inquisitiveness and capacity for mas-
tering whatever study he attempted, and moreover, encouraged by the kindly
aids furnished by his pastor, Mr. Devotion, he even at that late period com-
menced and completed successfully his preparation for college. He entered
in his 23d year, 1758, and graduated honorably with the class. Within a year
of his graduation, June 29, 1763, he was installed as pastor of the first church
in Coventry, where he continued to labor in word and doctrine through
his life.
Like his brother Samuel, he too had found in his pastor's family, the help-
meet he needed, and his marriage with Hannah, daughter of Rev. Ebenezer
Devotion, was solemnized in 1761:. She became the mother of his first three
children and died Sept. 25, 1771, aged 26 years. He married, for his second
wife, Elizabeth Hale of Glastenbury, Conn., who died in 1806, aged 58 years.
Dr. Sprague, in his Annals of the American Pulpit has given a most accu-
rate estimate of his ministerial work in Coventry, from wliich I am happy to
quote. He says that " his ministry commenced under some most unfavorable
auspices. Though there had been two settled pastors there, and one of them,
Mr. Meacham, had had a ministry of considerable length, yet the parish had
become greatly jeduced, the meeting house had been sufiered to go to decay,
and every thing else was in a state of corresponding depression. The services
at his ordination were held in the open air ; but whether this was because the
meeting house was too small to accommodate the assemblage, or too much
dilapidated to be safe or decent, does not appear. Immediately after he was
settled, he began to urge upon the people with great zeal the project of build-
ing a new meeting house. They responded with unexpected cordiality and
harmony to this proposal ; and in a short time, they had the best house of
public worship in the whole region, built at an expense of five thousand dol-
lars. Mr. Huntington was exceedingly gratified by the success of this enter-
prise, and often recurred to it with pleasure in the later years of his ministry.
From the period of his settlement, the prosperity of his parish, at least in
regard to temporal interests, began to revive ; and they continued a united
people during his whole ministry. The state of religion, however, was scarcely
ever otherwise than depressed ; but the same remark is equally applicable,
with few exceptions, to the church at large. The period of liis ministry em-
braced the old French war, the war that gave us our independence, and- the
French Revolution ; and each of these events was fruitful of influences most
adverse to a healthful and vigorous state of religion in this country.
After the death of the first Dr. Wheelock, President of Dartmouth college,
Mr. Huntington was spoken of as the person most likely to succeed to the office ;
and communications were made to him on the subject, that gave liim reason to
expect that he would be elected. The result was different from what many
had anticipated ; but the college testified its respect for him, about the same
time, (1780,) by conferring on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. He was,
also, the same year, elected a member of the board of overseers of the college*
and held the place till 1788.
FIFTH G E X E K A T I U X . 119
In the spring of 1792, Dr. Huntington was invi^rd to settle at Huntington,
Long Island ; and he actually made a journey thither before he declined the
invitation. The fact that he should have even hesitated on the subject was
an occasion of considerable disquietude in his own parish, and seems to have
loosened, in some degree, the cord that bound him to his people.
Dr. Huntino-ton continued his labors till near the close of life, though in-
firmities had, for some time, been increasing upon him, and his health was
supposed to have suffered from repeated and severe domestic bereavements.
His death, which seemed to be the result of a complication of diseases, took
place on the 25th of December, 1794."
No portrait of Dr. Huntington it is believed is now in existence. But tra-
dition has taken delight in representing him as a man of more than ordinary
personal attractions. His finely proportioned form, his graceful movement,
his genial spirit, beaming out from every feature and springing to greet and
embrace aU whom it could bless ; his ready wit, ever keenest when most
needed, and never at fault when wit had work to do ; his immense stores of
various fact and incident ; and his marvelous fehcity in anecdote ; all con-
tributed to make him, what all who knew him have agreed in styling him, a
man of rare social gifts, a most agreeable companion, and a very dear friend.
Dr. Abbot of Peterborough, N. H., who succeeded Dr. Huntington in Cov-
entry, and who had, therefore, a good opportunity of forming his opinion, in
his letter to Dr. Sprague, bears this testimony to his personal appearance and
character.
" Dr. Huntington was a man of fine personal appearance, and of popular,
enorao-ing: manners. His intellectual endowments also were much above me-
diocrity. His perception was quick, his memory retentive, his wit ready, ex-
uberant, and agreeable. He was much respected and beloved by his parish-
ioners and friends, and exerted very considerable influence in the community
at large. Dr. Huntington was undoubtedly one of the most popular preachers
of the day. He spoke extemporaneously, seldom writing more than a skeleton
of the principal topics of a discourse. During the greater part of his life,
his reputation was very high ; but as his health and strength of body and
mind failed, his reputation seemed proportionably to decline. I remember
hearing Dr. Backus of Somers, express the opinion at a meeting of ministers
not long after Dr. Huntington's death, that he possessed superior talents ; and
that in the meridian of his life, the public estimate of him was fully up to his
actual merits, but that, in his later days, it had fallen below it. He was not
a laborious student. He had very few books, and depended chiefly on bor-
rowing; but ha^^g an excellent memory, he retained a large part of what
he read.
" He was favored with a good constitution, firm health, and a high flow of
spirits, for many years : and as one of his parishioners remarked to me would
easily ride over all difficulties."
The Rev. Daniel Waldo, in a letter found in the same work from which the
above extract is taken, gives us this portraiture of Dr. Huntington.
120 11 U X T T X G T O X F A M 1 L Y 31 E M () 1 K .
" Dr. Huntington may be said to have been an accomplished gentleman.
He was rather above the middle height, of a slender and graceful form, and
remarkable for the urbanity of his manners. I remember that much of what
he said to me, when I had the pleasure of passing a night with him, was a
eulogy upon my grandfather, who was a somewhat distinguished teacher from
Boston, and under whom he said he had received some part of his early educa-
tion. He seemed to have an instinctive desire to make every body around
liim happy ; and I should suppose that this, with his constitutional politeness,
miorht have rendere'd it somewhat difficult for Mm to take the attitude of a re-
prover. He was, I think, eminently fitted to be popular in general society."
Tlie reputation of Dr. Huntington since his death, has suffered from two
causes — the extemporaneous manner of his preaching, and the posthumous
work for wliich he will always be censured by those who deprecate its belief.
He wrote so little, that he left no enduring memorial of his power as a
preacher and orator. Scarcely a half dozen sermons or addresses of his, were
ever written out and given to the press. And his printed sermons are proba-
bly less interesting and eloquent than the same when preached ; the process
of writing them, to which he was so little accustomed, really divesting them
of their most striking excellences. I cannot refrain fi^om quoting a gem from
one of these sermons, that preached at Norwich in May, 1774, upon " The
Vanity and Mischief of presuming on Things beyond our Measure." It will
suggest what we might have had from his f)en, had it been used more in his
preparations for the pulpit. It occurs in the application of the discourse.
" Never, perhaps, was there any period of time ; never, before, did the
Christian peoj)le of this country, see the time, when the minds of the good, as
well as others, were so much exercised about the non-essentials of religion,
and so curious to know things that relate neither to saving faith, nor to an
holy and virtuous life. **********
" All you need practice, all you can practice, all that God requires you either
to believe or practice, aU that is necessary for your usefulness or comfort in
the world, and safe arrival at heaven, is so plain, that sincere, honest hearts
may run as they read. Beloved, what you have to do is to follow God, even
your' own God, in the sincerity of your hearts and integrity of your hands ;
and the charming light of heaven shall break in upon your souls, bright and
lovely as the morning, sweet and refreshing as the gentle rain."
But the work which has wrought most unfavorably upon Dr. Huntington's
reputation among orthodox Christians since his death, is that famous post-
humous production of his pen — Calvinism Improved. The mystery which
overhangs this work has never been removed. AVhen it was written, or with
what aim, has never been shown. Tlie work itself is a very distinct and able
statement and defense of the doctrine of universal salvation.
I have heard old men who accepted the doctrines of the work, say that Dr.
Huntington preached good Universalism for twenty years, but in such a way
that he was not suspected, except by those who relished it. Tlie letter of
^Ir. Waldo, above quoted, gives us this statement ; " I remember to have
FIFTH G E X E R A T I O X . 121
heard Dr. Hart, with whom he was in intimate relations, say that, in a conver-
sation with him, Dr Huntington raised objections against the doctrine of fu-
ture punishment, professedly to see how he would answer them; and the same
thinf I was informed occurred in conversations with vseveral others of his
clerical brethren.
The letter of Dr. Abbot, also quoted above, has this additional fact : '' Some
time before his death, he wrote a Dialogue on Universal Salvation, and sent
it to a brother minister, who resided at some distance, requesting his remarks
upon it."
Dr. Sprague himself testifies that after the work was published to the as-
tonishment of every body, " some of his," (Dr. Huntington's) " brethren rec-
ollected to have heard remarks from him, wliich, in the review, seemed of a
dubious character."
It seems very clear, that for years the author had been persuaded of the
incorrectness of the orthodox belief on this subject, and that he had been
elaborating this exposition and defense as a justification erf the position he
would be called upon to take. That he would have given publicity to the
work himself, had not a series of domestic bereavements and physical infirmi-
ties impaired his mental rigor, and prematurely brought him to his grave, the
nice sense of honor which he uniformly showed, and the habitual freedom and
independence of expression in which he indulged, are sufficient proofs.
The preface contains, also, his own explanation regarding his delay to pub-
lish the work. After stating that the work contained " a small part of a sys-
tem of divinity, which the author has been meditating more than twenty
years;" and also, that, "the author is quite beyond a doubt, in his own mind,
with regard to the solid truth of his leading principles and arguments," he
adds this explanation : " With respect to the due time of advancing this step
forward, and so explicitly pouring in this additional light, he is not so posi-
tive. * * * I am in the same predicament, with regard to the due time of
publication, that all men since the days of inspiration have been. Any author
may misjudge, after his greatest possible exercise of judgment in the matter.
Some have done it, as the great and learned Huss, who was one century before
the due time, in attempting to pour in a flood of light upon the world. He
oflered nothing to the public but what was advanced in the next century by
Luther and Calvin, and others, with glorious success." But the work itself,
when published about a year after his death, was doomed to a very "limited
circulation. — much the greater part of the edition having been consigned to
the flames by one of his daughters." So efiectual was the suppression of the
work, that it is now almost impossible to find a copy.
The following are believed to be the only other published writings of Dr.
Huntington. Lcopy the list from Dr. Sprague's work, having been unable to
make any additions to it : A sermon on the vanity and mischief of presuming
on things beyond our measure, delivered at Norwich, 1774; a plea before the
ecclesiastical council at Stockbridge, in the case of Mrs. Fisk, excommunicated
for marrying a profane man, 1779 ; an address to his Anabaptist brethren,

1783; an election sermon, 1784; a sermon at the instalment of the Rev. John
Ellis, 1785, at Kehoboth. Mass. ; a discourse at the interment of Capt. John
Howard, of Hampton, 1789 ; thoughts on the atonement of Christ, 1791 ; and
a sermon on the death of 3Irs. Strong, 1793.
23.5. Eliphalet, born April 24, 1737, and married, Nov. 11, 1762, Dinah
Ivudd. He was a farmer in Scotland Society, Windham, where he died June
15, 1799.
230. Enoch, bom Dec. 15, 1739, and graduated at Yale, 1759. He fitted
for the ministr}% and was ordained and installed over the first church of ]Mid-
dletown, Jan. 6, 1762, where he spent his life. He was considered, during his
colleoiate course, a youth of remarkable talents, and his classical and general
scholarship, subsequently justified fully the decision. He was the Berkelyan
scholar of his class. In the pulpit he was deservedly popular; his personal
appearance, his easy and gTaceful manners, and his musical and well modu-
lated voice, in the earher part of his professional course, all contributing to
such a result. He married, in Windham, Conn., July 17, 1764, Mary, daugh-
ter of Samuel Gray, who was born Oct. 14, 1744, and died Dee. 15, 1803. He
was the teacher, for some months, of the gifted Dr. Dwight, who always re-
membered him with aSection and respect. On the death of President Stiles,
of Yale College, in 1795, Mr. Huntington was prominent as a candidate to
succeed him, but his failing voice and health obliged him to decline the honor,
and his pupil, Dr. Dwight was chosen. Mr. Huntington entered warmly into
politics during our revolutionary period, taking sides with his brothers against
England. Several of his sermons and addresses of that day, were printed,
and have been preserved. They indicate the elements of a character scarcely
inferior to that of his brother Samuel. I quote from a sermon preached on
the occasion of a special fast, July 20, 1775, as illustrative, both of the spirit
of the man, and the pecuhar trials to which the patriots of that day were
exposed: '-To please the administration, and be what those who are seeking
our hurt afiect to style friends of government, neither our reason or religion,
our voices or hands, must ever be used, but in perfect conformity to the per-
nicious, popish doctrines of imphcit faith and passive obedience, and non-
resistance. Any thing may be said, or written, or done in their favor and
praise, — and pensions and promotion shall be the reward of their sycophants
and tools; while any thing to the contrary, however supported by reason and
the Christian religion, is misrepresented, falsified and punished, by every
means in their power. Tliose ministers who exert themselves to support every
tyrannical and arbitrary measure, are caressed as friends of government;
while clergymen of different principles and conduct, of whatever church they
be, who converse upon and preach up as occasion requires, the duties, the
privileges and the liberty of the gospel ; but who dare not attempt to press
the rehgion taught by the Prince of Peace into the service of tyranny and
oppression, are called fanatical courting preachers, incendiaries, independents,
enemies of government and order, and are marked out as objects deserving
severest chastisement."
FIFTH G E N E Ft A T T O X . 1 28
In a sermon addressed to the freemen of Middletown, April 18, 1776, he
thus meets his opponents: '• And how absurd and inconsistent, and malicious
is the conduct of those who impute all the exertions of our wisest and best
men in the cause of their country, to a spirit of faction and self interest, and
wicked motives and designs. This has been done by those who style them-
selves friends of government on both sides of the water."
In another sermon on political wisdom, preached in Middletown. April 10,
1786, he thus exhibits the elements of his political creed. " All intrigues of
deceit, all deviations from truth and justice, are totally and equally opposed
to the public welfare and private bhss, and where indulged they inevitably sap
the foundation of all their happy prospects; and the sure destruction of every
corrupt and unreformed people and individual, has been, and ever will be an
attestation to this truth." In the same sermon he thus testifies to the wisdom
and authority of the public measures of that infant period of our national
government. '• Tliere was a time, methinks, when wise counsels in this coun-
try, in congress, and from them down through all subordinate bodies, through
the whole country, were more readily followed, and thoroughly obeyed, though
clothed with no formal, legal authority, than the commands of the most sove-
reign, powerful despot upon earth, ever were. Their recommendation carried
along with them a conviction of the equity and necessity of them."
But no quotations from these sermons and addresses would do justice to
the learning and scholarship, or to the nervous eloquence of Mr. Huntington.
Nor did he, indeed, ever do full justice to himself. A nervous weakness
afflicted him almost from the beginning of his public hfe. His voice early
failed, and so he was unable to achieve, in his later years, the full promise of
an early maturity. His sermons, for years, were whispered from the pulpit,
yet so great was his popularity that his people would not consent to his dis-
missal.
The only published writings of his, that I have found, are those from which
I have already quoted, and the following : A sermon at the ordination of Isaac
Parsons, in East Iladdam, Oct. 28, 1772 ; a sermon at the ordination of Kobert
Hubbard, in Shelburn, Mass., Oct. 20, 1773; a sermon in Middletown, on a
call of eighty-nine citizens, on the happy efiiect of union, and the fatal ten-
dency of divisions, Ajiril 8, 1776 ; a sermon, Sept. 2-3, 1787, on occasion of the
wreck of the schooner Unity, in which Joseph and John Henshaw, and
James Cunningham, were lost; address at the house of Mr. Henshaw, Sept.
26, 1787; and a sermon, Sept. 30, 1787, from Rom. xiv: 9.
Mr. Huntington was a Fellow of Yale College from 1780 to 1808, From
the weakness mentioned above, he suffered more and more until his death,
which occurred in ^Middletown, June 12, 1809.

247. Hezekiah, born Oct. 3, 1728, and married, Nov. 28, 1754, Submit
Murdock. He was in service during the revolution, going to Boston with the
first troops raised in Connecticut, with a major's commission. Seeing the
miserable condition of the arms then in the hands of the soldiers, he went to
Philadelphia and made a proposal to congress, to return to Windham and
open a manufactory for repairing muskets, and other arms. On this condi-
tion, Washington returned his commission, and he served the government
many years, in repairing and making arms. He claimed that he was the first
man in America who made a gun. After exhausting his means in this service,
he went to Philadelphia and effected a settlement with the government, re-
ceiving as his pay, 74,000 dollars of continental paper. The value of this
suddenly depreciated, so that, to use his own language, a hundred dollars of it
would not buy a breakfast. The entire package was kept many years, in
hopes of its redemption by the government, and finally committed, by one of
his sons, to the flames, after his death. He and Ms wife lived about ten years

to the personal worth of his mother. She must have been a woman of more
than ordinary intelligence and of sincere and true piety, poor in this world's
goods, but rich in faith. Her death was from consumption. Pier son says of
her : " She was never happier than during the last six weeks of her life. She
well knew that life was near its close, and she looked for its end with entire
resignation and cheerfulness. If she expressed any impatience, it was that
the wheels of time moved so slowly. * * * Jn the intervals of
suffering, when strength revived, she labored to impress on my mind the ne-
cessity of faith in the Christian religion, according to the Calvinistic inter-
pretation : admonished me to be faithful to my employer ; and charged me,
by all the love she bore me, to stay with him till I should be twenty-one years
old. whatever inconvenience and destitution I might endure, or whatever sac-
rifice it cost me."

to Throop. She was born in the year 1738. Her funeral sermon, preached
by her pastor. Rev. Zebulon Ely, and afterwards jjublished, bears this testi-
mony to her piety. " The remains of a very worthy member of this church
and society are before us. Early in life, in the sweet bloom of youth, she re-
membered her Creator. Her after life gave distinguished evidence that her
supposed conversion was not a delusion but a glorious reality. Her acquaint-
ance and friends can all testify that she adorned the Christian profession.
She so appeared to love rehgion, and was so blessed in the family that she
reared up, that she was entitled to the honorable appellation of a mother in
Israel." Her death, which was from a cancer in the breast, occurred July 12,
1799. Capt. AVilliaui Huntington was a farmer, a useful and Christian man.
He died in Lebanon, May 31, 1816.

274. Elisha, born April 25, 1724, arid married, March 8, 1749-50, Ehza-

275. Elljah, twin with Ehsha, and married Abigail Dana. They lived in

276. Abner, born March 6, 1726, and married, so the Lebanon records at-

Haven in Vermont, where he died in 1816.
277. James, born April 25, 1728. He married Hannah, daughter of Jona-
than Marsh. He was several summers the town shepherd. He was so con-
scientious that he refused taking care of the sheep on the Sabbath, and a boy
was employed by the town for this service. He died Dec. 10, 1812, at the
residence of his son Joseph, in Orange, Vt. His wife died in 1795, in Nor-
wich, Vermont.
278. Susaxxa, born June 23, 1730, and married, June 5, 1757, Anderson
Dana, a lawyer of Ashford, Conn. He was descended from Richard Dana, a
French protestant who had fled from persecution, first to England, and about
1640 to America, settling at what is now the town of Brighton. Massachusetts.
Their children, all born in Ashford. Conn., were : Evans, born May 10, 1758 ;

Aug. 11, 1765; Ariel, born March 17, 1767 ; Sylvester, born July 4, 1769; and
Eleazer, born Aug. 12, 1772.
In the fall of 1772 this family removed into the Wyoming valley, on the
Susquehannah. With her seventh child in her arms, not yet two months old,
and her sixth, a little boy of only three summers, holding on, as they journeyed
on horseback, the mother rode that whole distance, some three hundred miles
into the wilderness, the last fifty miles having only marked trees for her guide.
FIFTH GEXERATIOX. 129
" Here,*' (I quote from the address of Rev. Mr. Bouton, at the funeral of Rev.
Sylvester Dana, June 11, 1849, the latter being the little boy of three years
alluded to above,) " for six years the Dana family prospered. In 1778 the
father represented the town of Westmoreland in the general assembly of Con-
necticut. Returning home on the 28th of June, after an absence of eight
weeks, he was an actor and a victim in that tragic scene which the very next
week occurred in that beautiful valley. On the third of July a band of Bri-
tish troops and tories, led on by CoL John Butler, with seven hundred savage
auxiliaries, attacked and utterly destroyed the settlement. Most of the men
were slain, their homes burned, their property either destroyed or carried
away, and women and children who escaped the massacre, fled through the
wilderness to the nearest white settlement." Among those who thus fled, was
Susannah Dana, who, " with seven children, in a state then of total destitution,
commenced her flight on foot, amid the darkness of the night, through that
dreary wilderness of fifty miles. Wolves hoWled on every side of them ; but
the terror of savages who might be on their track hastened their steps. Xor
did they stop, except as necessity for rest and refreshment compelled, tiU the
three hundred miles that separated them from their kindred in Ashford had
been re-traced." Nor does this give the full measure of that mother's ability
and courage. When it became apparent that their only safety was in flight,
she set herself calmly to the work of collecting such food as would be most
easily taken with them ; and then, as though there was still something besides
present salvation desirable, she collected a pillowcase of papers and public
documents, as her husband had been much in public life for the colony, and
determined if possible to take them with her. In this she succeeded, and Mr.
Minor, the historian of that awful tragedy, acknowledges his obhgations for
that noble thoushtfulness. Few incidents in the lives of illustrious women
exceed this, in all the elements of true greatness. Not till the family, eight in
number, had reached BuUock's Mountain, ten miles from their late happy
home, did they learn of the deaths of those two husbands, their needed pro-
tectors. Here they learned the horrible story, and alone, yet with unfaltering
step, they urge on their unprotected flight.
279. EzEKiEL, born Aug. 2, 1732. He is said to have married twice. The
records of his children's births are in two places on the town record.

286. Joseph, bom May 6, 1739. He married Kachel Preston, and lived in

287. Israel, born April 6, 1741.
288. Daniel, born March 16, 1743.
289. David, born Nov. 24, 1745. He graduated at Dartmouth in 1773, and
the same year received the honorary degree of M. A., at Yale. Having pur-
sued the study of theology, acceptably under his pastor, Rev. Dr. Solomon
"Williams, of Lebanon, he was ordained to the work of the gospel ministry, and
installed over the church in Marlborough, Conn., in 1776, and remained there
until 1797, a laborious and successful minister of Christ. He married, Nov. 5,
1778, Elizabeth Foote, of Colchester, who proved to be to him a most excel-
lent wife. She was as much distinguished for her fervent piety, and for her
zeal in doing good, as for her remarkable inteUigence, and her unusually com-
plete personal culture.
After his dismission from liis people in Marlborough, he preached a few
Sabbaths in Salem, Conn., yet was never settled there. He was installed,
Nov. 8, 1797, over what is now the South Church, in Middletown, Conn. This
church had been seriously endangered by the Separatists; but by the judicious
and successful labors of Mr. H., comparative hai-mony was restored, and the
church again brought to accept more decidedly than ever, the orthodox Con-
gregational platform. He removed from this field of labor in 1803, and was
again installed over the Congregational church in North Lyme, on the 21st of
December in that year. Here he remained a faithful preacher and pastor
until his death, April 13, 1812. He was a man of eminent piety, and remark-
able for a uniform and intense religious zeal. He preached twice on the day
of his death, closing, most fittingly, his labors on earth by a sermon of great
earnestness from the text, "■ Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and
not live." Before one o'clock, of the following morning, he was no more ; yet
though so suddenly called away, he left with all the composure of one about
taking a pleasant walk. One who knew him well, testifies of him, that "he
was a very serious minded man, and habitually sensible of the sacredness of
his calling."
290. Nathaniel, died soon after his birth.

294. Eunice, born March 28, 1745, and married, Dec. 13, 1764, deacon
Joshua Willes, of Franklin, the eighth child of Rev. Henry and Martha (Kirt-
land) Willes. Tlieir children were : Jabez, born Sept. 10, 1765 ; Temperance,
born March 4, 1768; Martha, born July 27, 1771; and Joseph Huntington,

295. Andrew, born May 9, 1747. He married, April 17, 1768, Ruth,
daughter of Elijah Hyde, of Lebanon, and Ruth Tracy. She was born in
Lebanon May 5, 1746. He was a military officer. He died July 16, 1811.
296. Hannah, born Aug. 25, 1749, and married, Oct. 15, 1772, Rev. Joseph
Lyman, D. D., of Hatfield. Her husband was the son of Jonathan and Bethia
Lpnan, and was born in Lebanon, April 14, 1749. He was graduated at Yale,
in 1767, with high honor. After a popular tutorship there, he was ordained
March 4, 1772, pastor of the Congregational church in Hatfield, Mass. ; where,
for over a half century he served the church and society with great ability,
and wielded a marked influence among the ministry and churches of Western
Massachusetts. He used to ascribe much of his pastoral success to his
wife, whose ruling aim seemed to be to promote his usefulness. He was
really one of the most commanding men in the ministry in his day; and in
nothing of a worldly nature did he show more power over his contemporaries
than in giving shape to pulpit influence during 9ur revolutionary struggle.
His colleague, Rev. Dr. Waterbury, late of Boston, speaking of him as he was,
in the last two years of his life, makes this just estimate of his character; and
this is said after he had passed into a state of bodily infirmity, which, to use
his forcible language, " gave to him the aspect somewhat of a magnificent
ruin." '• The heavy column, and the broad span of the arch told, even in
their dilapidation, the scale of grandeur on which the whole structure had
been reared." * * * The Roman cast of his features, his expressive eye, his
simplicity of language and manner, struck me very forcibly on my first intro-
duction to him." This "great and good man" died March 27, 1828. He
had seven children, only two of whom survived him. One of those was
Jonathan Huntington, lawyer, of Northampton, Mass., one of whose daugh-
ters, is Martha, the wife of the Hon. LaFayette S. Foster, of Norwich.

Perry, of Woodbury, and commenced its practice in that town about the year
1767. He became a man of some distinction in his profession, and in the
church, of which he was a deacon. He was also the first postmaster in
Woodbury, which office he held from 1797 to 1814. He married a Tomlinson.
" For several years before the close of his life," says Wm. Cothren, Esq., in his
history of Woodbury, "he relinquished the active duties of his profession, and
confined his attention to his drug store. He was a very celebrated chemical
compounder." He died Feb. 19, 1819.

311. Hannah, born April 29, 1765. She married Dr. John, son of the
eminent Dr. Philip Turner, (90) an eminent physician of Norwich. It is the
testimony of one competent to bear witness, that he " seemed to inherit the
stroncr qualities of his father's mind, and to surpass him in acuteness of per-
ception and nicety of discernment." Their children were : JuUa Frances
iSIarionette, who married Rev. George Perkins; George F., who died at the
age of 20 years : Betsey H., who became the second wife of Rev. Geo. Per-

This family were aU born in Norwich, and for my record of them, I am in-

313. Henry, born May 28, 1766. He graduated at Dartmouth, in 1783,
and entered upon the profession of law, but soon abandoned this for commer.
cial pursuits. He established himself in business in New York city, and had
also an interest in the partnership of Geo. Huntington & Co., of Rome, N. Y.
Becoming largely interested in land speculation, he soon removed to Rome,
where he spent tlie remainder of his life, in a most successful business career.
He was chosen President of the Bank of Utica, and retained the post until
his resignation, a short time before his death, when his faiUng health hindered
his weekly visits to Utica. His business career, from its beginning to its close,
was marked by a high tone of honor and integrity. Avoiding all the petty
meannesses to which the ambitious man of business is tempted, he still won
all the business ends which the most aspiring could wish. Nor was he with-
out frequent testimonials to the confidence which his fellow-citizens reposed in
his pohtical character. In 1805, 1806. and 1807, he was a member of the New
York senate ; and in 1806, was also a member of the council of appointment.
In 1816 and 1818, he was a member of the assembly. In 1821, he was a mem-
ber of the convention for revising the state constitution. He was also one of
the presidential electors, in the elections both of 1808 and 1812. Few men
have stood fairer, for honor and integrity; and very few have won higher con-
fidence and esteem for private and social worth. He married Catharine M.
Havens. His death occurred at Rome, in 1846. The beautiful engraving
which accompanies this sketch, is a perpetual and most faithful witness to
some of the noblest traits of human character, which must have adorned the
original.

1768, and died April 21, 1802. He began life as a carriage maker at Norwich,

but after a few years removed to Rome where he became a merchant, and by
his strict and unbending integrity and the genial kindliness of his heart, ac-
quired the esteem and respect of all who knew him. He was successful in
his business from which he retired some years before his death, which took
place in 1840.
315. George, born June 5, 1770. He married, May 21, 1794, Hannah
Thomas of Norwich. He was the first of the Huntington family who moved
into Central New York. He first settled in Whitestown, in 1792, then the
most important of all the New England settlements in that vicinity. He had
little or no property, but opened a store as agent for Mr. Hyde of New Lon-
don. In the succeeding year he removed to Fort Stanwix, near Rome, and
by the assistance of his elder brother, Henry, established himself in business.
A canal to connect the waters of the Mohawk with AVood Creek was then in
contemplation, and was shortly afterwards constructed by the Western In-
land Lock Navigation Company, thus forming the earliest connection of
the waters flowing to the Hudson with those of the lakes. In this enterprise,
the beginning of our system of internal improvements, he took a deep interest,
and was, during the existence of the Company, its agent, giving his personal
attention to the construction and support of the works. He represented, in
part, the county of Oneida, in the Assembly in 1811, '12, '13 '19, '20, '21, and
'22. He was a prominent and zealous member of the Congregational church
for many years, and a liberal contributor, both of his substance and his ener-
gies, to every good work.
" The business connection of Henry and George Huntington, under
the firm of George Huntington & Co., continued until his death. They
gave up the mercantile business about the year 1817, and afterwards dealt
largely in real estate, and interested themselves to a considerable extent in
the manufacture of iron, cotton, &c. They were noted for their fair and hon-
orable manner of doing business, never allowing themselves to be tempted by
doubtful operations, or taking directly or indirectly more than strictly legal
rates of interest. I have heard men who recollect occurrences of forty years
since, speak of the firmness with which, during a season of great scarcity,
1816, when the crops were cut off" and there was great and wide-spread dis-
tress for food, this company resisted all temptations to sell to speculators the
large amount of grain in their possession, parting with it only in small quan-
tities and at moderate prices, to those who needed it for their own sustenance.
Their sagacity, probity and fair dealing, met with deserved success."

334. Simeon, born April 2, 1740. He married first, Jan. 27, 1777, Freelove

1789, widow Keeney, who survived him and died Sept. 11, 1820. He was a
blacksmith, and appears to have been an athletic and powerful man. He was
in some repute as a mihtary character, even before our Revolutionary war
commenced. The fourth of July, 1774, gave him an occasion to display both
his patriotism and his pluck. One Mr. Francis Green, a Boston tory and an
eminent Tiierchant, who for that reason thought he must be loyal, and so save,
if possible, his craft, came into Norwich on that day to collect debts. The
Norwichers had been notified of the approach of the tory some hours be-
fore his arrival, and the Green before Lathrop's tavern was covered with ar-
dent liberty men, to give him what they deemed appropriate welcome. With
few words, as it was now too late for speech making, the assembled pa-
triots unanimously voted Mr. Green the use of fifteen minutes for his depart-
ure. He hesitated, his business was urgent, he wanted to collect some monies
now due, he was in his king's dominions and should, — but his time for speeches
in Norwich was now ended. Capt. Simeon Huntington, with no light hand.
FIFTH GENERATION. 187
gave the gentleman loyalist a sufficiently sensible demonstration of the pres-
ence and power, too, of another style of loyalty with which all Norwich men
had become thoroughly possessed. "Without further resistance, and without
calling for his money, Mr. Green " entered his carriage and amid shouts and
hissings drove off." Nor did it avail that on liis return to Boston, he offered
a reward for " any of the ruffians of Norwich, particularly for Capt. Simeon
Huntington."
The estimate in which he was held by Gen. Jedidiah, during the war, is at-
tested by one of the General's letters in the American Archives, directed to
Gov. Trumbull of Conn., and dated Roxbury Camp, Sept. 9, 1775; in which
he expresses his wish that Mr. Simeon Huntington would accept a second
lieutenancy then vacant, and assigning as his reason ; '• I want officers of a
military spirit."
This Simeon was one of the Common Council of Norwich City in 1785, as
appears from a summons made by Jedidiah, then senior Alderman.

397. AsAHEL, born March 17, 1761. At an early age he became a Chris-
tian and resolved to devote himself to the work of the gospel ministry. 'Un-
der the t*?aching of his pastor, the Rev. Dr. Xott, so lately the patriarch of
the Connecticut ministry, he fitted for college and entered Dartmouth, where
he was graduated in 1786, with the first honors of his class. His scholarship
and talent are sufficiently evinced in thus standing first in a class which num-
bered on its lists such names as those of the Hon. Moses Fiske, Hon. Calvin
Goddard, Norwich, Conn., Hon. Charles Marsh, LL. D., of Woodstock, Vt.,
and the Rev. Dr. Jonathan Strong, S. T. D., of Randolph. ]\lass.
His theological studies were pursued under those eminent teachers of the
day, the Rev. Dr. Backus of Somers, and the Rev. Dr. Hart of Griswold,
Conn., by both of whom he was commended, as one eminently worthy of the
holy office on which he had set his heart.
At the earnest solicitation of the church and society in Topsfield, Mass., he
was ordained there to the work of the gospel ministry, Nov. 12, 1789. While
here, successfully engaged in Ms work, he married. June 2, 1791, Alethea,
daughter of Dr. Eli.sha Lord, a celebrated physician of Abington, Conn., in
whom he found a most timely and efficient helpmeet.
Of his labors in Topsfield, I am happy to quote the following testimonial
from the interesting address given by the Hon. Nehemiah Cleveland, at the
Topsfield Bi-ceutennial Celebration. In the address itself, he speaks of the
most useful and acceptable ministry, of the plain good sense, of the unfaihng
discretion, of the mild benevolence and the blameless life, which made Mr.
Huntington so safe a model and so sure a guide. In a note, in which he speaks
more in detail of the hfe of Mr. Huntington, he says : •' Here for nearly
twenty-four years, flowed on the even and useful tenor of his way. With
a people not particularly easy to please, he hved in unbroken harmony. He
was orthodox in his opinions, but was too discreet to urge them with offensive
pertinacity. His preaching was plain, sensible, and practical. His whole in-
tercourse with his flock was so marked by social ease, by benevolent sohci-
tude, and by judicious kindness, that he secured their warmest love, as weU
as esteem. His instructions were not confined to the pulpit. Compelled by
the straitness of his income, and the wants of a growing family, he occasion-
ally taught the town school. For several years before his death, he received

into his family pupils from abroad. With what fidelity and ability he ac-
quitted himself in this relation, many still remember. The language of afiec-
tionate veneration with which, at the late celebration, Judge Cummings and
Mr. Benjamin A. Gould, recalled the name and virtues of their earliest teacher,
will not soon be forgotten by the hundreds who listened to those glowing
word^ of praise and gratitude."
" In the midst of his strength and usefulness, this truly good man was sud-
denly cut down. He died of the malignant sore throat, April 22, 1813, after
an illness of four days. The funeral sermon was preached to a weeping au-
dience by his intimate and long tried friend, Rev. Isaac Braman of New
Rowley."
Of Mrs. Huntington, the widow thus bereaved, who spent her last years in
the family of her eldest son, where she died, Aug. SI, 1850, in the eighty-
fourth year of her age, we have this testimonial in an obituary notice taken
from the Puritan Recorder :
" Mrs. Huntington was particularly happy in her relation to the church and
people of Topsfield. There was a blending of dignity and gentleness in her
person, that prepossessed every one in her favor. Her intercourse with the
people was marked by prudence, kindness and condescension, by a lively sym-
j)athy in their joys and sorrows, and by many self-denying labors to do good
among them. Tlie writer knows not that she ever had an enemy ; he is cer-
tain that she had many friends. Through aU her earthly pilgrimage it was
the aim of this excellent woman to Hve not unto herself. Her own comforts,
and even wants, were forgotten in self-denying efforts for the good of others.
It was her pleasure to nurse the sick and minister to the afflicted ; and many
living witnesses gratefully recall her fearless and faithful devotion to them in
the hour of suffering and danger. In the closing scenes of her life, there were
the calmness and peace, if not the triumplis of Christian faith. Her remains
were deposited in the burying ground at Topsfield, by the side of that dust
over which she had so many times shed, during her long widowhood, the tears
of fond remembrance."

400. GURDOX, born July 31, 1768. married first, Jan. 24, 1799, Esther, only
daughter of Benjamin and Hannah (Atwood) Martin of AVoodbury, Conn.
She was a most excellent Christian woman and died in Cairo, N. Y., Nov. 16,
1819. He married, second, in Nov. 1821, Mary S. Prudden of Litchfield,
South Farms. She survived him a few years and died in 1854 at Beloit, Wis-
consin.
He pursued his early studies with his pastor. Hey. Dr Nott, and was a com-
panion and fellow pupil with the no less venerable Dr. Eliphalet Xott of Union
College. After pursuing his medical studies with Dr. Lord, about the year
1794, he removed to the banks of the Susquehanna, and located himself at
Unadilla, New York.
Here he became a successful and deservedly popular physician. His rides
extended often forty and fifty miles, and a more welcome visitor never en-
tered those scattered homes. In this laborious field, journeying by day and
by night, often winding his solitary way along almost untrodden paths, and
fording unbridged streams, he was both a cheerful and happy man and a
skillful and prosperous physician. He accumulated a handsome property, and
attained the highest honors in the gift of his townsmen. He was a member
of the New York assembly from Otsego County, from 1804 to 1810. In 1813
he removed to Cairo in Green County, N. Y., where he continued to reside
until his death, July 13, 1847.
Dr. Huntiugton made a profession of religion in 1816, joining the Presby-
terian church. He was ever a consistent member of the church, of which he
was also an elder at the time of his death. He was a very retiring man,
abounding much more in the good deeds of an excellent spirit, than in os-
tentatious professions. He was a most genial and companionable man, just
such as every one hails as a friend. He had no enemy, and his memory is yet
fragrant with the most precious savor of his generous and sanctified nature.

his early departure to a- better life.
409. AVealthy, born Jan. 8, 1780, and married, Sept. 21, 1807, Joseph W.
Tracy, second son of Jared and Margaret (Grant) Tracy, of Norwich, Conn.
They resided in Norwich. Her husband was born ^larch 9, 1773, and died
April 3, 1845. She united with the first Congregational church in Norwich,

410. Nehemiah, born April 20, 1782. lie was for many of his earfier
years an invalid, so much so that he lost ahnost entirely the years usually
devoted to education. But he was characterized through life for his sterling
good sense and judgment, and still more for his gentle and kind heart. If
SIXTH G E N E R A T I O X . 147
any thing else was needed to render him beloved and esteemed, and trusted
by all who knew him, it was his strict conscientiousness. He seemed to feel
no other motive than duty; and how faithful he was to every conviction of
duty, they best knew^ who saw hhn most. He married, for his first wife, Sept.
8, 1814, Nancy, an older sister of his brother Elijah's wife; and he found in
her all those quahties and attainments he most prized and needed. She had
mental endowments of a high order, and a personal culture which fitted her
to grace any circle in which she might move. She was no less gifted with the
graces of the spirit; being characterized for a piety as uniform and earnest as
it was unobtrusive. She was most happy and skillful iu the social and reli-
gious training of the family; yet she was felt to be as well fitted to lead in
the social f;atherincjs of her sisters in the church.
How harmoniously two such kindred spirits would move along through life to-
gether, was foreshadowed by a little incident, which transpired soon after their
marriage. The one had been accustomed to regard the evening of Saturday
as a part of the Christian Sabbath, and the other observed that of Sunday.
They engaged a perpetual regard for each other's convictions, by a systematic
avoidance of all work and secular pastime on both evenings, though they
taught their children to reverence the evening of Sunday as sacred time.
Mrs. H. died July 12, 183.5, most deeply lamented, yet not to be forgotten by
those who had enjoyed her acquaintance. '' I know of no one, so well pre-
pared to go, and of no one whom we shall miss so much," was the heartfelt tes_
timony of one of her neighbors, who had known her long and well. And
many years after her death, the gifted Mrs. Sigourney was pleased to give her
testimonial to the personal worth of one "whose friendship I so much prized."
Mr. H. married, for his second wife, Dec. 21, 1841, Mrs. Anne, widow of
Jirah I. Hough, and daughter of Timothy and Sorloma (Strong) Hinckley, of
Lebanon, a most amiable and excellent woman, who still survives, livinor in
Bozrah. He was chosen deacon of the church in Bozrah, several years before
his death. From the commencement of the sabbath school and temperance
enterprises, in this country, he was in theory and practically, a warm friend
of both. Indeed, in every work which promised to promote human comfort
or salvation, he was ever ready to engage. He was as steadily at his place
in the prayer meeting in the busiest season of the year, as in his seat on the
sabbath, in the church. This good man was taken to his rest, June 2, 1852,
leaving, it is believed, no enemy behind him.

tered upon the successful practice of his profession, in which he soon achieved
most honorable distinction. In addition to a good medical reputation, he se-
cured also reputation for qualities which fitted him for public service in civil
life ; and was called, for a while, from his professional career, for the more
noisy and stirring duties of political life. In 1820 he was appointed by the
legislature of New Y^ork a member of the Electoral CoUege, in which he gave
his vote for James Monroe. In 1821 he was elected a member of the New
York senate. In 1833-7 he was a representative in the United States con-
gress, from the first congressional district of New Y'ork, and through both the

himself to be a consistent democrat of the Jackson school. In 1845 he was
appointed by President Polk, collector of customs for the port of Sag Har-
bor, and served through the term for which he was appointed. In 1846 he
was a member of the convention for revising the constitution of the State of
New York. In 1853 the Regents of the New Y'ork University conferred on
him the honorary degree of M. D. Among the venerable forms present at our
pleasant family meeting in Norwich in 1857, none was more so than that of
this hale and still youthfully humorous and much beloved and ht)nored man.
" Late may he ascend to heaven."
He married, in Norwich, Frances Lee, daughter of George Lee of Norwich.
Since the above was written. Dr. Huntington has deceased. He died in East

server of Feb. 3, 1859.
" In Chittenango, Jan. 20th, in the 80th year of his age, Elder Charles Hun-
tington.
"Mr. Huntington was born in Norwich, Conn., and emigrated to Sullivan,
Madison county, in the year 1822, where he has continued to reside, with the
exception of a fcAv years spent in Chenango County.
" For many years he has professed faith in Christ, and for several years
past he has been an efficient and useful elder in the R. D. church in Chitte-
nango. Uniformly consistent as a Christian, and ever ha^-ing the welfare of
SIXTH GENERATION. 153
Zion at heart, his influence in the church and community was eminently happy.
Remarkably unselfish and kind in all his intercourse with his fellow men, he
enjoyed, in a large degree, their confidence and friendship.
" The last sickness and death of Mr. Huntington was characterized by a
peaceful trust in Christ — a fitting end to a consistent Christian life."
470. BeTkSEY, born Nov. 17, 1781, married Wheelock Bingham.
471. AxNE, born May 9, 1784.
472. David, born April 24. 1788, graduated at Union College in 1808. He
studied theology and was ordained deacon of the Protestant Episcopal church,
by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Hobart, in Trinity church, New York city, in 1812 ;
and in 1815 was ordained priest in St. Paul's church, Charlton, N. Y. He
married for his first wife, Ann Dows of Charlton, N. Y., in 1813. His second
wife whom he married in Charlton, also, was Catherine Callegan ; and he
married for his third wife, Lydia Blakslee Allen of Harpersville, N. Y., who
still survives in Harpersville.
He was a devoted Episcopalian, classing himself neither with the technical
High church nor Low church party, maintaining that they who went beyond,
or fell below the plain, simple doctrine of the church, were equally erroneous.
They who knew him, are ready to bear testimony to liis efficiency as a minis-
ter of the gospel, and to his virtues as a citizen and man. His family can
attest his tenderness as a parent, and his great private and personal worth.
" In every relation of life he maintained himself without reproach. At times,
tried above measure by the cares of the world, and adversities which he could
not control, he stiU preserved his Christian integrity and faith to the end,
and ever labored to discharge his duty to the flock of which he was minister."
For several years he resided in Harpersville without parochial charge, yet
ministering in the name of Christ as he had calls among the neighboring par-
ishes. His former parishioners have fittingly testified their regards for him in
the monument they placed to his memory, bearing the noble tribute : " He
watched for our souls, as one that must give account." He died in Harpers-
ville, April 9, 1 S.J.J.

many years a member, and an officer of the Presbyterian church, and in the
last years of his protracted life it was evident to his friends that the absorbing
subject of his contemplation, was his departure from this world ; and he cheer-
fully expressed a readiness to go whenever God in his goodness should see fit
to summon him away. He gave pleasing evidence that he was waiting and
watching for the coming of the Lord; so that the large circle of his relatives
and friends are not left to mourn without hope, but rather to rejoice in the

tion."

The folio-wing sketeh of Gen. Jedidiah, is contributed by a grandson of the
subject, Rev. Geo. Richards, of Litchfield, Conn.
557. Jedidiah, born Aug. 4, 1743, " was graduated at Harvard College in
1763, with distinguished honor. The social rank of his family is e^'inced by
the order of his name on the college catalogue, it being the second on the list
of his class, above that of Josiah Quincy. The Master's degree was also con-
ferred on him by Yale College in 1770. After the close of his academic
course, he engaged with his father in commercial pursuits, and, with the ap-
proach of the struggle for independence, became noted as a Son of Liberty,
and an active captain of the militia. Promoted to the command of a reei-
mcnt, he joined the army at Cambridge, April 26, 1775, just a week after the
battle of Lexington. His regiment was part of the force detailed for occupy-
ing Dorchester heights ; and, after the evacuation of Boston by the British,
marched with the army to New York. He entertained the commander-in
chief, on the way, at Norwich. During the year 1776, he was at New York,
Kings])ridge, Northcastle, Sidmun's bridge, and other posts. In April of that
year, he helped repulse the British at Danbury, Conn., assaihng the enemy's
rear, and effecting a junction with his fellow townsman, Arnold. In March,
1777, Roger Sherman writes that Col. Huntington was recommended by Gen.
Wasliington as a fit person for brigadier, but that Connecticut had more than
her share. On May 12 of that year, he was promoted to that rank, as ISIr.
Sherman states, " at Gen. Washington's request." In July, he joined Gen.
Putnam at Peekskill, with all the Continental troops which he could collect ;
whence, in September, he was ordered to join the main army near Philadel-
phia, where he remained at headquarters, at Worcester, Whippin, White
Marsh, Gulph Hills, etc. In November, on the information of the enemy's
movement upon Red Bank, he was detached with his brigade, among other
troops, to its relief, but CornwaUis had anticipated them. Having shared the
hardships of his companions in arms at Valley Forge, through the winter of
1777-8, he, together with Col. Wigglesworth, was, in March, appointed by the
Commander in Chief, " to aid Gen. McDougaU in inquiring into the loss of
forts Montgomery and Chnton, in the State of New York; and into the
conduct of the principal officers commanding those posts." In May, he was or-
dered with his brigade to the North River, and was stationed, successively, at
Camp Reading, Highlands, Neilson's Point, Springfield, Shorthills, Totowa,
Peekskill, West Point, etc. In July, he was a member of the court martial
which tried Gen. Charles Lee for misconduct in the battle of Monmouth ; and
in September he sat upon the court of inquiry to whom was referred the case
of Major Andre. In December of 1780, his was the only Connecticut Brigade
that remained in the service. On the 10th of May, 1783, at a meeting of offi-
cers, he was appointed one of a committee of four to draft a plan of organiza-
tion, which resulted in their reporting, on the 13th, the Constitution of the
Society of Cincinnati. On the 21th of June, Washington writes that the
army was '' reduced to a competent garrison for AVest Point ; Patterson, Hun-

tinjxton, and Greaton being the only brigadiers now left with it, besides the
adjutant general." At the close of the war he received the brevet rank of
major general.
On retiring from the army he resumed business in his native town, and was
successively chosen sheriff of the county, treasurer of the state, and delegate
to the state convention which adopted the Constitution of the United States.
In 1789, he was appointed by President Washington collector of the customs
at New London, then the port of entry for eastern Connecticut and Connec-
ticut river, which office he retained under four administrations, and resigned
shortly before his death. He died in New London, Sept. 25, 1818, where his
remains were first interred, though subsequently transferred to the family
tomb at Norwich.
At the age of twenty-three, he made a public profession of religion, and was
for many years, an officer and pillar of the church of which he was a member.
" His munificence, for its profusion, its uniformity, its long continuance, and
for the discretion by which it wa-s directed," was pronounced, " without an
example, or a parallel, in liis native state."
His first wife was Faith, daughter of Gov. Trumbull. She died at Dedham,
Mass., in December of 1775, on her way to the camp. Two of her brothers,
one of them the distinguished painter, were associated with her husband in
the war, of which her father was one of the main supports. She left a son.
His second wife was Ann, daughter of Thomas Moore, who' was born in
New York, received his education at Westminster school, London, engaged
in commercial pursuits in liis native city, at the approach of the Revolution
retired with his family to West Point, and, driven thence by violence, returned
to the city, where he occupied a place in the custom house through the war.
He died at the house of his daughter, in Norwich. Her brother was the late
venerable Bishop Moore, of Virginia. Her uncle Stephen was the proprietor
of the spot now occupied by our national military academy, which Gen. Hun-
tington advised should be established there. She survived her husband, and
was the mother of seven children.
558. Andrew, born June 21-2, 1745, married, Nov. 26, 17G6, Lucy, daugh-
eer of Dr. Joseph and Lydia (Lathrop) Coit, of New London, who was born
July 2, 1746, and died May 9, 1776. Of her, his brother Jedidiah, in a letter
dated Camp at New York, May 21, 1776, thus speaks: " Tlie death of our
sister Lucy, has made one more breach in our late happy family, though it
ought to check our grief, that she left such good evidences of her interest in
a better world." He married for his second wdfe. May 1, 1777, Hannah Phelps,
of Stonington, who was born Dec. 16, 1760. He and his first wife united
with the first Congregational church of Norwich in 1775, and eminently hon-
ored their Christian profession. His second wife, who lived until July 30,
1838, was a noble woman in all personal and social qualities. Mrs. Sigourney
says of her, " she possessed an elegance of form and address, which would
have been conspicuous at any foreign court. She was especially fascinating
to the children who visited her, by her liberal presentations of cake and other
SIXTH G E X E R A T I O X . 163
pleasant eatables, or, what was to some equally alluring, a readiness to lend
fine books with pictures."
Of Mr. Huntington the same authority says : he " was a man of plain man-
ners and incorruptible integrity. His few words were always those of good
sense and truth, and the weight of his influence given to the best interests of
society." He was engaged in commercial pursuits, and in 1795 embarked in
the manufacture of paper at the Falls in Xorwich. He was a judge of pro-
bate in his district, as late as 1813. During the war of the revolution he was
a commissary of brigade, and was untiring in his exertions to secure prompt
supplies for the army. Upon his services, Gov. Trumbull put great reliance,
and it is on record that such rehance was not misplaced. He died April
7, 1824.
559. Joshua, born Aug. 16, 1751, married, Dec. 11. 1771. Hannah (175)
and commenced business with his father. But at the summons of the revo-
lution, he threw himself with all the ardor of a young patriot into the cause
of his country. The battle of Lexington roused the martial spirit of the Nor-
wich boys, and a hundred of them hastened, under command of Joshua, then
lieutenant, to the scene of action and were annexed to Putnam's brigade.
Under date of June 22, 1775, '" Prospect HiU in Cambridge," he thus writes
to his father ; " I am now encamped on Prospect Hill, about one mile from
Charlestown ferry. We have entrenched so strong that 'tis thought we shall
be able to keep our ground. We have been fired at a number of times from
the ships and floating batteries, but they were not able to reach us. Several
men have been killed since Monday last, by guns going off accidentally,
although the officers take aU possible care to prevent it. We have two men
in our company woimded in the battle, but not mortally. We lost none. I
received your letters per Major Eodgers and brother Jed. Should have writ-
ten you last week from Dedham, but came from there in the alarm on" Sat-
urday last as to the battle."
Another of his letters to his father, dated Cambridge, Sept. 18, 1775, shows
the risks to which his business was exposed, while he was thus on duty. " As
to the schooner had much rather have her chartered on low terms if Capt.
Harris wiU risk her, than to let him have her on shares. Freight, I suppose,
is much higher at this time than it commonly is, and suppose that Capt. Har-
ris can well afibrd to sive me half the freight she makes if I risk her : but I
am wilhng you or brother Andrew should do with her as if she was your own.
As to news, we have nothing remarkable at camp. It is a general time of
health with the army. Though there are numbers sick, very few die. It is
said to be very sickly in Boston, with the inhabitants as weU as with the
soldiers."
In another of his letters to his father, dated Cambridge, Sept. 25, 1775, he
having been suggested as captain of that company which he had. as heuten-
ant, led to the army, he throws himself upon the advice of his father, assuring
him that he shall be - entirely satisfied with your doing as you think will be
of the most advantage for the good of the army in giving your advice in the
matter."
164 II U X T I X G T O N F A M 1 L Y .AI E M O I R .
A letter of his to his father, dated Cambridge, Nov. 22, 1775, show^ how
much he felt the claims of business and home upon him. ''I have dete mined
not to enga-ge in the new army, as I am sensible my business calls me at home,
and I know our business is such that I shall be of service to assist you. It is
A^th much reluctance I shall leave the army, as I am offered as good a berth
as I should expect. I can't say when I shall be at home, as the Connecticut
troops are desired to stay the month of December, I am afraid our soldiers
will not stay any longer than they first engaged for, so shall stay as long as
our company will tarry and then return. As to news, we have nothing spe-
cial at camp. We expect to entrench on Cobble Hill this night which, I ex-
pect, will distress our enemy."
That he did not leave the service, as both his business and his inclination
would call him to do, is apparent from the following letters of still later date.
That he was regarded as an officer of unusual merit at this early period of his
connexion with the army, is abundantly evident from contemporaneous rec-
ords. I find this allusion to his popularity, in a family letter of his brother,
Jedidiah, dated at Providence, June 13,1775: "I do not know what credit
brother Joshua is in camp, but I find at this place and all along the road, he
has got himself much honor, from the good order and regularity of his com-
pany. He is much spoken of for his good behavior."
After the evacuation of Boston by the British, the company of which he
had command went with Putnam's brigade to New York.
A letter from him, dated Camp near King's Bridge, Sept. 20, 1776, shows
his position at that period : " You have most likely heard of our retreat from
the city, before this, but I will give you some of the particulars. Sunday
morning last, our regiment, with a number of other regiments, were ordered
to the lines a httle below Turtle Bay, where lay five or six ships within mus-
ket shot of our lines. About six o'clock a most furious cannonade began from
the ships. At the same time the enemy landed a large body of men a little
above where our men were posted, and marched directly for the main road in
order to cut ofi" our retreat, which they had like to have effected, as the great-
est part of our army were from six to fourteen miles distant from the city.
In this skirmish we lost some men, though I think not many. I have been
unwell about a fortnight, vrith. a slow fever and the camp disorder, which pre-
vented my being in the skirmish. I had not passed the road but a little while
before the enemy came up; a«<l if I had been with the regiment at the lines,
I was so weak and feeble, I should, without doubt, have fallen into their
hands. I have now left the regiment for a few days, and am with brother
Chester, about sixteen miles from the city, getting better.
" The enemy made an attack last Monday on our people, 'tis said, with
2,500 men. Our men engaged them with spirit, and after an engagement of
about an hour, the enemy retreated with great confusion. In the attack we
lost fifteen or twenty men. As the enemy carried off' the most of tlieir dead,
I cannot tell their loss. Our army are in very high spirits.
'' I understand that our family are concerned in a privateer from New Lon-
SIXTH G E X E R A T I O X . 165
dofl*. I told brother Andrew I should be glad to be concerned £100. Should
be glad to know whether he has engaged any part for me or not. Brother
Chester and Ebenezer are in usual health. I inclose von a letter for brother
Joel."
From another letter, dated North Castle, Dec. 4, 177G, we still are able to
follow his course, and to find him unwavering in it. " I received yours of
Nov. 17th, since which our army have been constantly on the move. As to
their present situation, it is impossible to give it to you. Brother Jed is sta-
tioned about fifty miles distant from me, in the Jerseys. Brother Chester and
Ebenezer are at Peck Kilns, about tliirty miles. They were all well a few
days ago. There is a body of the enemy in the Jerseys, as far as Hacken-
back, the remainder, I believe, are on York Island. We have a flying re-
port, that there is a fleet of the enemy lying at Frog's Point. If so, I think
it likely they intend a visit to some part of New England. I hope the people
will be spirited to oppose them, wherever they go. I wish to hear that our
three month's men engage fast, as I am afraid otir army will soon be very thin."
At a later period he was employed in securing shipping for the use of the
war. In the fall of 1777 he had charge of the building of a frigate, at Gale's
Ferry, for the service, and in Jidy 8, 1779, he thus writes to Thomas Mum-
ford, Groton. " I wish you to inform me if you know of a small privateer of
eight or ten gims, to be sold at New London or elsewhere, as I want to pur-
chase one of that size. If I should purchase I should be glad to have you
concerned."
oGO. Haxnah, born July 3, 1753, and died Sept. 27, 1761.
501. Ebenezer, born Dec. 26, 1754, and graduated at Yale College in
1775, and, Uke his elder brothers, enlisted all his energies at once in the ser-
vice of the revolution. He married, first, Dec. 10, 1791, Sarah Isham, of Col-
chester, who died in 1793. He married again, Oct. 7, 1795, Lucretia Mary
McClellan, who died Nov. 5, 1819.
In the obituary notice which follows, notice is made of the refusal of the
faculty of Yale College to grant him an honorable dismissal before the end of
his senior year, to enable him to enter the army then about Boston. The fol-
lowing extract from a letter to his father, will explain the method by which
he secured his diploma. Its date is, Roxbtiry Camp, Sept. 25, 1775. "I
shoidd be glad if you woidd get me a certificate from president Daggett that I
am in regidar standing in coUege, and likewise a recommendation, as I im-
agine I can have a degree without going to Commencement for it : as Dr.
Lanc'don has Driven me encouragement that he wiU give me one if the New
Haven President refuses it — if I am denied it, only because of my tarry from
coUege this summer, and my leaving it without Hberty, in the alarm last
April."
The following obituary notice is taken from the Norwich Courier of Jime
25, 1834.
" When the battle of Lexington was fought, he was a student at lale Col-
leve. Yotmg, ardent and ambitious, he made application to be discharged
166 II U N T I X G T O X FAMILY MEMOIR.
from his duties there, declaring at the same time his intention of commencing
a military life. The Faculty ha\ang refused his petition, he left New Haven
and joined a company of volunteers to march to Boston. Soon after he was
appointed first lieutenant in a regiment of Connecticut troops commanded by
Col. Samuel Wylhs ; and in June, 1776, he was jDromoted, receiving a captain's
commission, and near the close of the campaign did the duties of brigade ma-
jor under Gen. Parsons. Soon after this he was appointed deputy adjutant
f'eneral to the troops stationed on the North River, under Maj. Gen. Heath,
for the defense of the Highlands. He also received the appointment of deputy
paymaster.
In 1777, Congress authorized Gen. Washington to raise sixteen regiments,
in addition to those which were to be raised by the respective states. In one
of these, commanded by Col. Samuel B. Webb, he received the commission of
major ; and in 1778, Col. Webb and the lieutenant colonel of the regiment
having been made prisoners, the command devolved upon Major Huntington,
who was ordered to march to Bhode Island to reinforce the troops which were
directed to attack the British army then at Newport. Major Huntington con-
tinued in command till 1779, when the lieutenant having been exchanged, re-
sijrned, and ISIajor Huntington was promoted to a lieutenant colonelcy, to take
rank from June, 1778.
Soon after this he joined the main army, when he was appointed to the
command of a battalion of light troops to reinforce the army then acting
ao-ainst Cornwallis at Yorktown, where he continued until near the close of
the siege, when he joined Gen. Lincoln as a volunteer aid, acting in that ca-
pacity during the rest of the siege, and up to the time of the surrender of
Cornwallis and his army.
At the close of the war in 1783, he retired to private life, and in 1792, con-
gress ha%ang appointed a system for the militia of the states, his excellency,
Gov. Huntington, appointed him a general for the State of Connecticut, which
situation he lield under the successive governors, Wolcott, Trumbull, Tread-
well, Griswold, Smith, and AVolcott, enjoying their entire confidence.
In 1790, in consequence of our relations with France, congress deemed it
expedient to raise a body of troops for disciphne, in case of need, and having
given the command to Washington, with a request on the part of the then
president, John Adams, that he would designate such ofiicers as he should
consider best qualified for the service, Washington named Gen. Huntington,
who received a commission as brigadier.
During the war of the Revolution, Gen. Huntington was considered one of
the best discij)linarians of the army. He enjoyed the personal friendship of
Knox, Humphries, Jackson, and Trumbull ; and at its close, in private life,
was deemed a gentleman of strict integrity of character, and was honored by
the suffrages of the people with a seat both in the national and state legisla-
tures.
Very few living men know any thing of the embarrassments attending the
officers who served in the war of the revolution, much of which arose from
SIXTH G E X E K A T I O X . ^ 1(37
the depreciated and finally worthless paper currency. Tlie writer of this no-
tice has heard Gen. Huntington say that he had given a month's pav for
merely crossing a ferry.
Gen. Huntington was elected a member of the United States House of Rep-
resentatives in 1810, and again in 1817. His death took place in Norwich,
June 17, 1834.
502. Elizabeth, born Feb. 9, 1757, married, Nov. 2.5, 1773, Col. John
Chester, of Wethersfield, who was born Jan. 18, 1749. He was son of Jolm
and Sarah (Noyes) Chester of Wethersfield. He was a colonel in the army
of the revolution, and especially distinguished himself at the battle of Bunker
Hill. He was much in public life, and always in highest esteem, both for his
signal pubUc service, and for his great personal worth. In all the private
relations of the man and friend, he was an example to be copied. As a
Christian he was unafiectedly devout, an Israehte, indeed, in whom there was
uo guile. A compeer with the noblest of our Connecticut worthies of that
day of noble names, he was also the humble and beneficent friend of the
poor, and the readiest comforter of the sorrowing and afflicted, and in all of
his generous philanthropy, he found a rt-ady lielp-meet in his gifted and
accomplished wife. He died Nov. 4, 1809, and his ^vidow, July 1. 1834.
Their children, were : Ehzabeth, lx)rn Nov. 10, 1774, married, June 8, 1807,
Eleazer F. Backus, of Albany, X. Y., and became the mother of Jonathan T,
Backus, D. D., of Schenectady, and Rev. John Backus, of Baltimore; Mary,
born April 20, 1779, married, June 8, 1806, Ebenezer Welles, of Brattleboro,
Vt.; Hannah, born Oct. 27, 1781, married Charles Chauncy, of Philadel-

Yale, 1804, married Rebecca Ralston, of Philadelphia, and was settled in
Hudson, N. Y., and still later in Albany. He died in Philadelphia, Jan. 12,
1829; Charlotte, born March 20. 1787; Henry, born Oct. 3, 1790, and died
March 1. 1791; Julia, born March 15, 1792, married, April 2, 1816, Matthew
C. Ralston, of Philadelphia ; Henry, born Dec. 22, 1793, and was a lawyer in
Philadelphia; Wilham, born Nov. 20, 1795, and is a clergyman; and George,
born June 14, 1798, and died early.
503. Maky, born March 24, 1760, married, in 1778, Rev. Joseph Strong, of
Norwich, who subsequently received the degree of Doctor of Divinity, from
the College of New Jersey. He became eminent in his profession, and re-
mained for fifty-six years pastor of the same church, having been installed as
colleague with Dr. Lord, March 18, 1778, and retaining his post, though with
Rev. C. B. Everest as his colleague, from 1829 until his death, Dec. 18, 1834.
She survived him a few years, dying May 14, 1840. That she was a woman
of rare excellence of character, many, very many are now Living, in the parish
where her life was spent, to testify. Their children were : Joseph H., born
Nov. 27, 1781, and lived in Norwich: Mary Huntington, born Feb. 5, 1786,
married Aaron P. Cleveland, a merchant of Boston, Mass. ; and Henry, born
Au2. 23, 1788, who became so prominent among the jurists of his native state.

attained the rank of major general. For a beantiful tribute to his personal
character see Mrs. Sigourney's reminiscences, pages 21 and 22. He died June
23, 1850.

578. SiMox, born in Windham, Conn.. April 15, 1762. He married Priscilla
Benjamin, in Wortliington, and resided in Hinsdale, Mass., where he was a
substantial farmer, and a useful and honored citizen. He was unaflectedly
benevolent, and truly pious. He was called to represent his. town in the state
legislature. His wife was born July 17. 17(31, and died Jan. 24, 1846. He
died Aug. 31. 1836. The following tribute to his memory from his grandson,
Rev. A. Huntington Clapp, of Providence, E,. I., is too true and good to be
lo.st. He says of him : •• He was of manly proportions, considerably above
the medium size, and with a blended dignity and grace that marked him as
one of Nature's noblemen. A dignified, but not formal politeness was natural
to him, and never forsook him, even in the most ordinary intercourse of life.
And yet those clear bright eyes, which beamed so gently from under the long,
overhanging brows that veiled them, could flash 'fiery indignation, when he
heard of a mean, dishonest, irreligious act or speech.
" Though a man of strong convictions — his opinions intelligently formed were
firmly held — he was eminently a gentle man. Kindness was the law of his
nature. It was by this, if at all, that he brought others to agree with him;
and I have been told that in matters affecting important interests of the
neighborhood, or town, his sentiments, however unpopular at first, were pretty
sure, in the end, to prevail. No wonder he built up such a reputation as a
peacemaker, and that so many referred their disagreements to his arbitra-
ment, ratlier than to that of the law, and with so much more satisfactory
residts.
"■ But it was as a Christian, that he most honored himself in life, and is most
clearly remembered by his survivors. He was an intelligent believer ; know-
ing not only what he believed, but why he believed it. Firm in his own con-
scientious convictions, he was liberal to those who honestly differed, actiiig on
the motto: 'In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things,
charity.' He was an earnest, practical Christian, Kving the religion he pro-
fessed, so that even unbelievers were constrained to say, that if there were
such a thing as vital piety, it would produce such a character and life as his.
" Young as I was, the rehgious services at his family altar, made impressions
on my mind which could hardly have been effaced, even had they not been
deepened by my last visit to him shortly before his death.
" There was something truly patriarchal in his mien, as he gathered his family
around him morning and evening and on the Sabbath, read and expounded
to them the Bible, and led them in prayer; liis manner that of the assured
Christian, yet with no tinge of irreverent familiarity. Every child felt that
his prayer was true heart communion with God. that the exercise was one the
old man loved, and that it shed a blessing over the household through all the
day. Next to the Bible, he seemed to prize many of Watts' versions of the
Psalms. I shall never forget the manifest satisfaction he took, during my last
00
170 H U X T I X G T OX I' A M I L Y M E M O I K .
visit, in sieging, many times a day, that version of the 119th Psalm, com-
mencmg,
* Behold thywaiting' servant, Lord,
Devoted to thy fear,
Remember and confirm thy word.
For all my hopes are there.'
'' I have no doubt that it was on his lips within a few moments of the time
when he stepped from the door of his earthly home, and fell to the ground, to
find the portals of his heavenly mansion suddenly unfolded before him.
What words could more fitly prelude the good man's exchange of earth for
Heaven ?
" On the whole, I have never met the man who seemed to me now, as I re-
member him, to have combined in more just and beautiful porportions, the
essential elements of a true Christian gentleman; dignity and affability^
deep spirituahty, and 'round about common-sense,' attention to his own
affairs, and active interest in others' welfare, unswerving adherence to princi-
ple, and unfaihng cheerfulness of temper, rational enjoyment of this world,
and dehghtful anticipations of the next."
579. Ebenezek, born in Windham, Conn., May, 1, 1761, married, for his
first wife, in Cummington, Mass., aSoy. 29, 1787, Sarah Ward, who was born
April 23, 1768, and died in Cunnnington, July 12, 1791. She was daughter of
William and Sarah (Trowbridge) Ward, of Cummiugton. He married, for
his second wife, in Northampton, May 6, 1792, Sarah, daughter of Rev. Ben-
jamin Mills, and sister of the Hon. Elijah Hunt Mills, U. S. senator from Mas-
sachusetts. She was bom in Chesterfield. He was a physician of some
prominence in his profession, residing in Chesterfield, Mass., until 1791, when
he removed to Vergennes, Vt., where he died, Dec. 1, 1831. His widow died
at Vergennes, Dec. 29, 1860, aged 87. The following obituary notice, from
the Vermont Chronicle, has been furnished by Rev. Otto Hoyt, who married
her daughter:
•' She was distinguished for intelligence, vivacity, meekness, discretion,
benevolence and hosj)itality. In the varied relations she sustained, she was
very highly esteemed and greatly beloved. During the ministry of Rev. Dr.
John Hough, she became hopefully pious, and united with the Congregational
church, in Vergennes; ever after, while her active powers remained, laboring
faithfully to promote its interests, and rejoicing in its prosperity. Few, it is
believed, more conscientiously obeyed the im})ortant precept, " speak evil of
no man,' or more exempHfied that charity which the great apostle enjoins
upon all. As the wife of a prominent physician, she had peculiar responsibil-
ities. Commg, as her husband did, to Vermont, at so early a period in its
history, his practice was widely extended, and often accompanied by peculiar
privations and hardships. But while he lived, he found at home a wise coun-
selloi', and one who deeply and tenderly .sympathized with him in all his labors
and sacrifices. She also, in an eminent degree, even down to old age, had the
power of winning the affection? of the young."

the convention to be held in Chihcothe on the first of the following month, to

army. He was tendered the office of receiver of public monies at Steuben-
ville, by president Jefferson, and also that of judge in the territory of jMiclii-
p-an, both of which he declined.
The following anecdote is illustrative of the condition of the Western Re-
serve at the time he removed to Ohio. While going from the east to Cleve-
land, where he then resided, " he was one evening attacked, about two miles
out of the town, by a pack of wolves, and such was their ferocity, that he
broke his umbrella to pieces in keeping them off", to which, and the fleetness of
his horse, he owed the preservation of his life."

done. He studied law, and when admitted to the bar, established himself in

612. Lydia, born Feb. 28, 1771, and baptized on the following sabbath.
She married, in 1813, Col. Simeon North, who was born in Berlin, Conn., July
13, 1765, and died in Middletown, Conn., Aug. 25, 1852. He was the father,
by a former marriage, of the Rev. Simeon Xorth, D. D., now President of
Hamilton College, and was extensively engaged in manufacturing arms for
the United States, during and subsequent to our last war with England, and
was also successful in introducing important improvements into the processes
of the manufacture. On removing to Middletown he purchased the Hun-
tington place, the parsonage, which had so long been occupied by (236), which
the family still retain. The following tribute to her memory, is the testimony
of her son-in-law. Dr. North. '-Being the oldest of her unmarried sisters, at
the time of her mother's death, it became necessary for her to take charge of
her father's domestic establishment, and to occupy thus a highly importaLt
position, both in relation to the family, and the parish with which her father
was connected. In these relations she fulfilled her duties in a most successful
and exemplary manner. During the later years of her father's life she spent
much time in travehng with him, and thus became intimately acquainted with
many of the most prominent ministerial families of the state. To a vigorous
mind, and one quick in its perceptions, she added the culture of a good early
education, and that refinement which is the natural result of long continued
intercourse with refined and cultivated society. Her disposition was mild
and winning; her manners dignified and graceful; her character and life,
those of the true woman in the highest and best sense of the word ; and I
may add, she was a true exemplification of that religion of the New Testa-
ment which she professed. She had one child, Lydia Huntington, now the
wife of Rev. Dwight H. Seward, of Yonkers, N. Y. Her death occurred Sept.
7, 1810. My recollections of her are those of mingled love and reverence,
for though not my own mother, she yet, with singular fidelity, performed for
me the olfices of a maternal guardian, when I most needed such a guardian-
ship. I am sure that I owe to her influence much of what I have had occasion
most to value in the experience of my subsequent life "

June 23, 1825, Mrs. Janette C. Cheever, who died Nov. 14, 1856. He died,
after an illness of a few days, in Troy, July 5, 1851. The following notice
from the Troy daily Whig, is ample testimonial to his ability and great worth.
" At a meeting of the Rensselaer county bar, held the day after his death,
among the resolutions passed were the two following :
'■'■Resolved^ That the bar of tliis city, by the death of the Hon. Samuel G-
Huntington, have lost their oldest member — a lawyer and a scholar ; a man
thoroughly bred to his profession, and ever ready to impart to others the
knowledge which his careful training, advanced age, and varied experience
had given him.
" Resolved^ That the extent and variety of his classical and legal learning
may well awaken the emulation of us, his survivors, who are thus suddenly
called on to mourn his unexpected death.
"Hon. D. L. Seymour, in seconding the resolutions, spoke as follows: 'We
are again assembled to take appropriate notice of the death of one of our
members. The oldest member of the Rensselaer bar has fallen. Although
past three score years and ten, yet such had been the vigor and animation of
his declining years, that his sudden demise affected us almost as if he had been
struck down in the full strength of manhood. We feel deeply, by this sudden
providence, the feeble tenure by which we hold all sublunary things. But,
beside these considerations, which will be more appropriately enforced from
the sacred desk, we, as brethren of the legal profession, feel that the bar of
our county has sustained a loss, and that we individually mourn the death of
a friend. The occasion seems, therefore, to demand something more than
ordinary note of its occurrence.
'"Samuel Gray Huntington was the son of Rev. Enocli Huntington, and
like most of the youth of his native state, received the rudiment.s of a
thorough education in the excellent common schools, then, and still liberally
and carefully sustained by the able legislators of that state. After leaving
the common school, he passed through the education preparatory to admission
to a coUegiate course, and was admitted to Yale College, where he graduated
with the honors of that ancient University in the year 1800.
"'Judge Huntington left college \\'ith a thorough classical education, and
at once entered upon the study of the law, in the office of his brother, Enoch
Huntington. Jr., then a practicing lawyer of good standing in his native town.
After the usual period of study, he was admitted to practice at tlie bar of
SIXTH G E N E R A T I O X . 177
Middlesex county, where he commenced business, in connection with his
brother.
" 'It is profitable to dwell for a moment upon this period of his life. He had
selected the law for his profession, and in making that choice he doubtless
felt as the young men in that day, in New England, were taught to feel, that
the legal profession yielded to no other in dignity or importance. That the
first object of the young lawyer, whether he consulted his reputation or his
purse, was to master, not only the forms, precedents and superficial structure
of the science, but its first principles, its very fountains, opening up through
the social and political condition of man, and disclosing the necessary rules
regulating his rights of person and property. At that day, too, the great
lisrhts of the bar and bench of his native state beckoned him onward in a
course of honorable distinction in his profession. Such men as Reeve and
Swift, adorned the bench, while Pierpoint Edwards, Goddard, Daggett and
Gould, shone at the bar.
" ' Entering upon the practice of his profession with such an excellent pre-
paration, and under such incentives, his success was almost certain. He had
already attained a reputable standing among the younger members of the
bar of his native state, when about the year 1806, he removed to the state of
New York, and settled in practice, in the village of Waterford, Saratoga
county. Here he soon rose to eminence as a lawyer, and ranked among the
ablest of the many distinguished men who have graced the bar of that county.
He removed to Troy in the year 1825. For many years his professional
business here was among the largest and most lucrative. His counsel was
sought in the most important causes, particularly in those relating to real
estate. In this branch of the law he was a perfect master, as well from his
intimate acquaintance ^vith the decisions of the English courts, as from the
fact, that the period of his practice, reaching to upwards of half a century,
embraced that space in the history of our country during which not only the
system of our law of real estate, but in fact almost the entii-e body of Ameri-
can common law, has been formed. When he commenced practice there was
no American commentator on the law, and the reported cases, either in Con-
necticut or New York, did not exceed half a dozen volumes.
" ' Under the administration of Gov. Clinton, he was appointed to the office of
judge of the court of common pleas of this county, and discharged its duties
with great ability and impartiality. His decisions always commanded respect,
as they were feFt to be the result of an honest conviction of the right of the
case, in a mind guided by patient research, and stored with legal lore.
" ' In the death of Judge Huntington, his brethren of the bar mourn the
loss of one in whose counsels they have often confided — whose legal acquire-
ments did honor to their profession — whose professional relations to them all,
were kind, courteous, and honorable, and whose social intercourse so often
helped to strip labor of its drudgery — relieve life of its tedium, and to strew
our pathway with pleasant, harmless trifles and gay flowers.' "

predecessor, in Branford, and daughter of Rev. Warham and Ann Wilhams,
her mother, being a daughter of Rev. Samuel Hall, of Cheshire. Her paternal
grand parents were the Rev. Dr. Stephen and Abigail (Davenport) Williams,
of Sjjringfield, Mass. His early ministry was one of promise, but a hngering
disease soon set in, and prematurely terminated his period of earthly labor ;
not, however, until this record of his character and usefulness could be truth-
fully drawn : " Possessing a sound mind, the spirit of love and the wisdom of
the prudent, he preached Christian doctrines and duties in their connection
with all fidelity, was incessant in pastoral labors and an example to the flock.
Entirely resigned, under a lingering illness he died in faith, Sept. 19, 1804."
The venerable Daniel Waldo, late chaplain in Congress, liis classmate in
college, thus testifies : " His standing in college as a classical scholar was re-
spectable, and his moral and religious character unstained. He and Moses
Hallock were two of the most exemplary scholars in the class. That he made
an able and successful minister was a fact, though he died in the morning of
life."

dier-general of the 41st brigade of New York infantry; and in 1815 was ap-
pointed high sherifi" of Broome county, and re-appointed again the next year.

677. Dan, born Oct. 11, 1774, graduated at Yale, 1794, was tutor in
WUliamstown College from 1794 to 1796, and the next two years tutor in
Yale. He was the pastor of the Congregational church in Litchfield, from
1797 to 1809, and of that in :Middletown, from 1809 to 1816. From Mddle-
town he removed to Hadley, Mass., where he has resided ever since. Of his
character and promise in early life, I am permitted to record the testimony of
his classmate, the Hon. Judge Thos. S. Williams, of Hartford, Conn. '• His
amiable temper, his good sense, and his pleasant manners, made him an agree-
able companion. But he was too much of a student to spend much time in
indulging his social nature. As a scholar, his standing in his class was high,
and he was soon appointed as tutor at Williamstown, and from thence trans-
ferred to New Haven."
After removing to Hadley, he refused to settle again as pastor, though he
184 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
continued to preach. He supplied for awhile a Unitarian congregation, and
his views of Christian doctrines undergoing a change, he at length avowed
himself a Unitarian. Yet with this change in his creed, we have the testi-
mony of his orthodox brethren, no change was observable in his Christian
character. His prayers in the family, and indeed the entire religious culture
of his eminently Christian home, were what they had been while holding and
teaching the orthodoxy of Connecticut. What his character as preacher was,
before vacating the pulpit, is abundantly shown by the following testimonial
from the pen of Rev. Parsons Cook, in Dr. Sprague's Annals of the American
Pulpit. He is speaking of the settlement of a colleague with Dr. Hopkins, of
Hadley, for which place Mr. Huntington, then recently dismissed from his
people in Litchfield, was a candidate. "He was enjoying a splendid popu-
larity as a preacher, and but for a jealousy of family influence, the people
would have called him unanimously to be their pastor. While this matter was
in agitation. Dr. Hopkins expressed great interest to secure his settlement;
and even said that he would be willing to bear his shoes if he could see him
settled there. He had such a strong conviction that the interests of the people
would be promoted by it, that he would make any sacrifices to secure it."
He married, Jan. 1, 1801, Elizabeth Whiting, only daughter of Charles and
Elizabeth (Porter) Phelps, of Hadley, who was born Feb. -4, 1779. She was
a most excellent Christian woman, as is abundantly testified, both by the
affection of her family, and by the grateful recollections of a large circle of
beloved neighbors and friends. She was early a subject of grace, and united
with the orthodox church in Hadley. Though, from a change in her views on
the subject of the Trinity, she did not continue through life a communicant in
that church, it is still recorded of her, by her husband, that " this sacred cov-
enant it was her practice to renew, in form, with the most thorough examin-
ation and fervent prayer at the recurrence of each anniversary of her first
vow, until the day of her death, which, by a singular providence, was itself
one of those anniversaries, April 6. 181:7."
It was one of the most blessed experiences of her hfe, that " aU the beloved
children for whom she had watched and prayed, and whom she had consecra-
ted in baptism, gave reasonable evidence of a distinct and personal adoption
of the Christian faith." Her last sickness was a painful one, extorting from
her the earnest entreaty " of the patriarch, ' let me go, for the day breaketh.'
Reminded of the loved ones who had gone before her, she replied, ' O, yes, I
shall look them aU up.' " Thus, sustained by her confiding faith, this gifted
woman fell asleep in Jesus. " On the same day that admitted her to the Body
of Christ below, she entered the church of the First Born."
Mr. Huntington is still enjoying a tranquil old age in the home he has so
long loved. For the occasion of the eightieth anniversary of his birth, Oct.
11, 185.5, he prepared for his children and grandchildren a sermon, which is a
very pleasant and fitting memorial of the venerable man. What his faith still
is, and where his hopes still rest, may best be learned from the close of that
discourse. He had quoted that inspiring verse :
SIXTH G E X E Ft A T I O X . 185
'• Rise, mv soul, and stretch thv "winfjs,
Thy better portion trace ;
Rise from transitory things
Towards heaven, thy native place."
He repeats the last line of the verse and adds : •• There God is, and the
throne of His grace. There Christ is, with open arms, ready to receive every
returning sinner : the Resurrection and the Life, the Light and hope of every
true believer." This sermon, with another upon the word '• Lebaxox," in
the eighth verse of the fourth Song of Solomon, and several notes of interest
to the family for whom they were prepared, were printed.
In addition to the above sermons, ]Mr. Huntington has had two election ser-
mons printed, one in Connecticut and one in Massachusetts, and also a ser-
mon which was preached in Wethersfield.

solved upon a preparation for the ministry. He graduated in 1806, and was
honored with a master's degree in 1833. He was hccnsed by the Hartford
North Association in 1809. In the following year he received a call to settle
over the congregational church in Bethany, Conn., where he was ordained,
Aug. 22, 1810. He married, in 1812, Miss Betsey, daughter of Zephaniah Tucker,

to Orange in 1810, where he died in the faith he had preached, Feb. 20, 1818.
Of his labors in Bethany, the Rev. C. Brewster, of Orange, Conn., in his fu-
neral sermon says: "the church were harmonious during the whole time he
was their pastor. It was also blessed with revivals, and one, especially, of
considerable power." Of his character, the same authority says : " His piety
was of the contemplative cast. He exhibited the Christian graces of meek-
ness and resignation in no ordinary degree. As a minister, he applied himself
diligently and faithfully to his work. His scholarship was of a high order. He
had a good knowledge of the Greek and Latin classics, had read the Hebrew
Bible through, and was probably a better Hebraist than any other pastor in

749. David, born March 1, 1784, and married, Jan. 30, 1808, Ann Carly.
He was a bookseller in New York city. He was a most estimable and worthy
man, and died while away from home, on business, in Norfolk, Va., March 18,
1819, after an illness of ten days. "He manifested the most humble resigna-
tion to the divine will." He had just completed the business which had called

church in New Brunswick, N. J., in 1815, where he remained, most unwea-
riedly laboring in his profession, until his death. May 11, 1820. This "excel-
lent man and eminent servant of Christ," resembled, in the general features of
his character, liis father. He had a warm heart and a ready hand. The poor,
the afflicted, the wronged and oppressed, were drawn toward him by the
power of his deep and tender sympathy for them. He could find time, while
mmistering to the spiritual wants of the most cultivated of his congregation,
to meet, weekly, with the most ignorant and neglected in his parish, for their
instruction. " Seldom has one descended to the tomb more respected and
beloved." Ilis congregation, the neighboring clergy and the press, affree in
testifying to his high excellence as a man, a Christian, and a pastor. In the
sermon preached at his funeral, by the Rev. Dr. Miller, of Princeton, a most
worthy tribute was paid to his liigh character in these relations, and also to
his signal ability as a preacher and ambassador for Christ. Few men more
nearly reaUzed Cowper's delineation of the ministerial character, and though
it was doubtless gain for him to die, it was felt that the church of Christ on
earth had lost one of its most needed guides and defenders. He married
Phebe Marvin, of Lyme, Conn., who, twenty years after his death, married a
Rev. ^Ir. Palmer, of Ohio, who also is dead. She has resided with her son, in

First Presbyterian church of that city. She died in Utica, Sept. 10, 1856.
Her funeral sermon, by her pastor, the Rev. P. H. Fowler, contains a well de-
served eulogy of her singularly pure and lovely character. From this it ap-
pears that in early life she became hopefully a Christian. " Religion took the
entire possession of her soul, and became both a master passion and a controll-
ing principle. Especially did it inspire her vdth its compassionate and be-
nevolent spirit. * * * >^Q Qjjg ^ag more enlisted in labors for
the heathen, and yet she was quite as much engaged for her own country,
and was a model to us all of devotedness to the particular church and con-
gregation to which she belonged. * * * Tliere was a remarkable
completeness in the piety of our friend. It was leaven in her heart while it
was motion in her life. She was eminently a friend of the poor, a sympathi-
zer with them, a visitor among them, a generous benefactor to them. Yet
notwithstanding all she was and the much she did. she was the humblest of
Christians, instinctively shrinking from boasting and display. * ♦ ♦
She was one of the rarest, choicest characters in the whole acquaintance of
my life. I never knew one in whom it was more difficult to detect a fault. To
our partial vision she ajipeared to bear the perfections of heaven during the
probation of earth." >

University, graduating in 1835. He received his medical diploma at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, in 1838. Finding literature more attractive than his
profession, he devoted himself mainly to its pursuit. He labored, also, in the
educational field, and received an invitation to the professorship of mental
philosophy, in St. Paul's College, near Flushing. L. I. In 1841 he was ordained
in the Prot. Episcopal church, and after a period assumed parochial duty in
Middlebury. Yt. Declining health induced him to visit the South, and to re-
side for a while in Europe, where he spent four years, returning in 1849. In
1842 he published a volume of poems, among which were, " The Northern
Dawn," a descriptive piece; a threnodia, "To Emmeline;" "The Trysting-
place," and translations from the Greek Anthology. Several sonnets com-
pleted the volume. Griswold speaks of these poems as meditative, and finished
in a style of scholarly elegance. A thoughtful critic of the time discerned in
them passages which recalled the tender beauty of Tennyson. The novel,
"Lady Alice." appeared in 1849, and was a decided success. Its high artistic
merits elicited the applause of critics, and 20,000 copies were promptly sold.
Soon followed another novel, " Alban ;" a poem. " America Discovered;" " The
Forest;" "The Pretty Plate;" -The Blonde and Brunette;" and "Rose-
mary."

Dr. H.,for a season, edited the "Metropolitan Magazine," at Baltimore, and
still later, the " Leader," at St. Louis. He has also lectured in several of our
large cities, before associations. He died at Pau, in Southern France, of con-
sumption, March 10, 1862. A beautiful tribute to his memory and personal
worth appeared in the " Tablet," a single passage from which, is due to his
name, in this record :
" With aU his rare mental gifts, Dr. Huntington had the meekness and
humility of a child, and had, in a most uncommon degree, the art of endear-
ing himself to all vnih whom he came in contact. In him we saw combined
the finished gentleman and the accomplished scholar, the humble, sincere,
practical Christian ; as a husband, as a brother, as a friend, as a citizen. Dr.
Huntington was all that man ought to be, whilst as an author he has left a
distinguished name among American writers. His death leaves a void in the
ranks of American literature that ^\411 be long and severely felt. Dr. Hun-
tington's health failed rapidly after ' Rosemary' was finished ; he traveled to
the north-west with some benefit, and by the advice of his physician sailed
for France in November, 1861, to pass the winter in Pau. In that balmy
climate he failed to find permanent relief, but gradually sank, soothed by the
tenderest care of wife and friends, and on the 10th of March last went to his
rest as calmly as a sleeping infant."
822. Daniel, born Oct. 14, 1816, and married, at St. Ann's Church, Brook-
lyn. June 16, 1812, Sophia Richards. His life has been given to the cultiva-
tion of the fine arts, for which nature designed him, and in which his success
has been a triumph. As a portrait painter he stands at the head of his pro-
fession, having a continental reputation. The following criticism, found in
the ''Whig Review," for Aug. 1816, exhibits his position among our artists at
that time, and his fame and relative position have advanced steadily ever since.
" Huntington, to whom we are inchned to give the highest place among our
artists of the highest school, sent five pictures, exclusive of three portraits, any
one of which would have asserted his pre-eminence in this department of his
art. Of these, our favorite is the Sacred Lesson, which, although not so full
of spirituality, and perhaps not so elevated in tone as his Italy, seems to us a
more finished work. The subject, a beautiful girl hstening to the story of the
crucifixion from an aged man, gave opportunity for all the harmony of con-
trast, and the embodiment of that high physical and intellectual beauty, of
which Huntington seems to have such an admirable conception. His female
heads are remarkable for their graceful contour, their high foreheads, but
broad, low and classical brows, and for their perfectly feminine expression,
which, as well as their freedom from that exaggeration of points of beauty,
such as large eyes and small mouths, into which modern painters are apt to
fall, gives them a truthful air which some of hotbed tast€ mistake for materi-
ahty. In fact, his women do not look like sylphs, angels, nor goddesses, but
like women, which is the grand reason that they are so beautiful. His heads
of old men have equal excellence, and are full of character and vigorous
drawing. He seems conscious of his abilities in this way, for three of his
198 HUNTINGTON FAMILY jVI E M O I R .
pictures for this year present the contrast of feminine youth with mascuHne
age. Huntington's pictures bear the stamp of high cultivation and of great
genius. Not only are his conceptions beautiful, just, and of a high poetic order,
and his designs clear, but his work is almost always well done ; the tone of
his pictures is such that the eye rests upon them with delight and con-
tentment; the heart sympathizes with the sentiment expressed, and the judg-
ment approves almost without a but. His effects are always simple, direct,
and forcible, for he never descends into the pettiness of his art. His coloring
is singularly beautiful, and reminds us of that of Lucca Giordano, fa preMo
Lucca as he was called, but among American artists it is peculiarly his own.
"Who has given us such unobtrusive reds and yellows, and such rich, quiet
greens ? Nobody has ever tried to do it ; the very conception of such colors
seems to have been left to him, for such was the character of his coloring before
he had studied in Italy. They alone are enough to make a reputation, and
yet they are but secondary to, though admirably in keeping with, his high
poetic conception, his admirable drawing, and exquisite flesh tints. Indeed,
so beautiful are these colors in themselves, and so harmonious are the broad
masses in which they are introduced, that the eye, after wandering around
upon the walls, turns unwittingly upon his pictures to drink in their cool, re-
freshing tone."
The estimate in which ]\Ir. Huntington is held by the members of his own
profession, is evinced by his election, in 1861, to the presidency of the Na-
tional Academy of Design, as their third president, the first two having been,
Prof. Morse, and A. B. Durand.
823. GuRDOX, born Nov. 27, 1818, graduated at Hamilton College, 1838.

April 14, 1851. He was invited to Simmonsville, and Spraguesville, R. I., in 1848,
from which post he went to Pottersville, N. Y., May, 1850. Called to Christ's
church, Sackett's Harbor, N. Y., April 6, 1852, and to Sag Harbor, June 11,
1856, where he is now engaged. He has devoted much of his time to litera-
ture, and from early in his course, as student, has used a ready and skillful
pen. His contributions to our poetic literature have been quite numerous,
among which are the " Shadowy Land," now in press; ''The Guests of Brazil;"
'• The romance of the Indian Country and its Tribes;" " Washington at the
Battle of Princeton;" "The Watery AVorld;" "The Mohawk River;" "Tux-
edo Lake ;" " Genevieve ;" " Musings at Evening Hours ;" " Child of Immor-
tality;" "The Steamship." Three of his poems, on public occasions, have
also been printed : on " Confidence and Affection," &c. ; " Dignity and Tri-
umphs of ^lental and Moral Culture;" "Providence;" and a prose essay on
"The Conditions and Materials of Poetry." His poem at the Huntington
meeting, Sept. 3. 1857, appears in this book. He was married, Jan. 22, 1852,
to Sarah (iold Sill, who died in Sag Harbor. Jan. 31, 1858. He married, the

into New York State, and located at Yerona, where, for about thirty-four
years, he preached and labored successfully in that outpost of settlements and
of Christian institutions. During all of the fifty-six years of his ministry, he
was greatly indebted to the untiring industry and economy of his wife. She
was a woman of rare qualities. " Friends who knew her in early Ufe, describe
her as delicate and beautiful. Iler genial temperament and ready wit ren-
dered her social qualities attractive, alike to the ignorant and the learned.
Her warm sympathy with all classes was peculiarly endearing. None could
be long with her without being convinced that she wished to do them good,
both temporally and spiritually. Her quiet performance of household duties,
her night-long watchings by the sick bed, her earnest prayers, and her meek
submission in affliction, all indicated a cheerful and chastened spirit." She
still lives, and spends her dechning years alternately with her sons-in-law, A.
Clark, of Clark's Mills, N. Y., and Rev. G. W. Thompson, of Syracuse. She
had eleven children, six of whom lived to maturity : Israel Huntington, born

898. Ebenezer, born 1782, married Margaret . He was a man of

fession so largely depends, he lectured for some time in the West, and became a

He retired from public life, married, and lived on a farm in Alton, HI., where

to which place he had removed in 1824, two years before the incorporation of
that city. In the following year, ]\Iay 31, 1825, he married Hannah, daughter
of Joseph and Deborah Hinckley, of Marblehead, who was born Oct. 2, 1800.
As a physician and as a citizen, he rapidly rose to a deserved eminence in the
enterprising city in which he had located himself. Perhaps few of its citizens
have been more esteemed for an intelligent and practical interest in every
movement which has promised to promote the prosperity of his adopted city,
or of his native state. His name is identified with their educational, social,
and civil progress, during the last quarter of a century. Both as the mayor .
of Lowell for several years, and as an officer in tlie state government, of
wliich he has been the lieutenant governor, he has discharged his public duties
with very great acceptance. His inaugurals, as mayor, show him to be a man
whose head and heart are right on all questions which pertain to the soci.al
welfare of the people. Government, in his creed, should protect the wealth of
the rich, ])ut it should as certainly encourage and elevate the poor. Munici-
pal provisions should follow the '• Christian law" which requires us to relieve
the unfortunate poor, " to assist and encourage him to help himself." Hun-

tington Hall, by order of the city government named from him, will long be
a faithful witness to the public esteem in which he is held.
On the death of Dr. Elisha Bartlett, M. D., late professor in the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, in New York, Dr. Huntington was appointed by the
Middlesex North District Medical Society to prepare a suitable commemora-
tive address. This excellent tribute was delivered before that body, Dec. 26,
1855, and pubHshed by them.
His -svife died Sept. 19, 1859, how much lamented, the following obituary
notice, from the Journal and Courier, of LoweU, attests: "It is seldom the
grave closes over any one among us who has left so many holy, pleasant, and
enduring recollections as cluster about the memory of Mrs. Huntington.
Early a resident of our city, she had gathered about her a large circle of
friends, who enjoyed her intelligence and cultivation, and who will never for-
get her kindness and hospitality, as well as her ready sympathy in all that in-
terested them. In the death of Mrs. Huntington, the poor and suffering have
indeed lost a friend, whose words of kindness and counsel as well as her unos-
tentatious charities, have soothed and gladdened many a sorrowful heart.
" The consistent religious character of Mrs. Huntington was never more beau-
tifully developed than during her long and distressing illness. With a cheer-
ful and trusting spirit she moved in her family circle, doing, every day, ' life's
daily duties,' almost to its close, and then calmly and quietly laying herself
down to the long last sleep that knows no waking, save in that brighter world,
where pain, and sickness, and sorrow can never enter, and where the ' pure
in heart shall see God.' "
1013. AsAHEL, born July 23, 1798, fitted for college at Phillips' Academy,
Andover, Mass., and entered Yale in 1815, where he graduated in 1819. The
following notice is from the record of the class meeting, held July 27, 1859,
of which he was the chairman : " ^Vfter leaving coUege he commenced his legal
studies at Newburyport, and, after some interruptions, completed them at
Salem, Essex county, Mass., in 1824. In March of that year, he was admitted
to the bar, and commenced the practice of law at Salem, and continued in
practice with marked success and high reputation, until 1851. During this
time, he was repeatedly a member of the legislature of Massachusetts. In
1853, he was a member of the constitutional convention in that state; and the
same year was mayor of Salem. He has also been attorney for the county of
Essex ; attorney for the district, consisting of the counties of Essex and ]Mid-
dlesex, in the administration of criminal cases ; and when the district was
divided, held the same office for the district of Essex. In 1851, he was ap-
pointed clerk of all the courts in Essex county; when he retired from prac-
tice, and accepted the office which he stUl holds, amid all the fluctuations of
popidar elections. He has been for many years an active and efficient pro-
moter of the temperance reform ; in his official capacity, as well as in private
life, he has devoted his time, talents, and ser\nces to the cause : and as a legis-
lator, and advocate, he has been instrumental in advancing its interests and
promoting its success."

dismissed from this charge in 18.50, from vocal weakness ; since which time
he has been engaged in teaching. He has given one sermon and several ad-
dresses to the press, and has devoted liis leisure, for years, to the preparation
of this genealogical memoir,
1035. Elisha Tracy, born Dec. 28, 1817, and married in Norwich, Sept 2,
1811, Malvina, daughter of Dr. Tliomas Boswell. He was a jeweler, and the
character he bore, and the esteem he secured, are well set forth in the ser-
mon preached by his pastor, Rev. Dr. Bond, on the sabbath following his death.
His disease had been one inexpressibly trying and painful, and terminat^'d his
useful life, on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 1859. " The example of an esteemed mem-
ber and brother of our church, who, since the last sabbath, has ' finished his
course,' furnishes a fresh and convincing illustration of the power there is in
the hope of salvation to sustain and cheer the soul amidst the pains of pro-
tracted disease, and in the hour of death. His connection with this church,
S E V K X T H G E X E 11 A T I O X . 217
which he joined by profession, nearly seventeen years since, has been sustained
in a manner that has uniformly evinced sincerity and stedfastness of faith.
His sensitive modesty, his shrinking diffidence, and self distust. prevented him
from assuming such duties and responsibiUties, as would give sj^ecial prom-
inence to his position as a fellow-laborer in the common vineyard. But the
services he has performed in the noiseless tenor of hisway — the consistency he
has ever manifested — the kind, fraternal sympathies, expressed in a counten-
ance radiant with the smile of Christian affection — his increasing interest in
the prosperity of the church — his growing love to his Saviour, are facts, to
which Ave may refer, as illustrating the strength of his piety, as an ever
operative principle, and its steady though quiet growth from the tender
blade of his early experience, up to the full corn in the ear. I need not
speak of what he was in his family, and to his friends, for nothing can be
said to enhance the preciousness of his memory, as it will be cherished l»y
them. I will not speak of him as a citizen, so well known, and so highly
esteemed in the walks of business. It will be conceded, that here integrity
and uprightness have preserved him, as a Christian. I would like, did my
limits permit, to dwell on som^ of the attractive traits which his life has devel-
oped, and in which my own feeUngs have been deeply interested. For many
a month he has borne his life-wasting sufferings in the patience of hope. With
cheerfulness and consideration he set his house in order, in prospect of death,
and when the expected crisis came, it found him so peaceful, so cheerftd, so
hopeful, so full of love, that the scene was divested of those sad and painful
sensations, so often awakened in the chamber of death. He looked at death
with the eye of faith, and in the light of hope — looked at it as a sleep in Jesus —
from which he fully expected to awake to a higher and purer life in that king-
dom where he had laid up treasures for eternity."

notice of him, taken from the " Toledo Blade," we find the following testimo-
nial to his worth :
232 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
" A good citizen lias fallen. We heard of his death with feelings of the
most profound regret. For twenty years Mr. Huntington has been a resident
of Perrysburg, and during that period he has enjoyed the confidence of the
community in which he lived. He was the man perhaps of all others, that
Perrysburg could not afibrd to lose. Much of the credit which Perrys-
burg has obtained for its fine system of local education, is doubtless attribut-
able to the valuable services of Mr. Huntington; and the same may be said of
almo.5t every enterprise of a public character in that town. He was a far-
seeing, sensible man, and well acquainted with the political character of this
country. His memory was unbounded. We never knew a person who could
more readily refer to events in the past history of parties, even from the com-
mencement of the Government. He knew the character and principles of
every public man of note in the nation, and formed his own opinions, from
extensive reading and profound reflection. He held successively several of
the most important county offices in Wood county, and was once a represent-
ative to the legislature from this district. His loss w^ill be severely felt in
Perrysburg, and not easily replaced, but while this is true, it will also be true
that Perrysburg will long retain the evidence of his wisdom, sagacity and
devotion to her interests, in her schools and other local improvements."

remarkable for her intelhgent and cheerful piety, during the twenty years of
blindness, through which she was called to pass. He was a man of very
marked qualities. Quick in reaching a conclusion, he was as positive and
persistent in adhering to it, and as earnest in maintaining it. He was emi-
nently conscientious also, so that, if he found himself at fault, he would
acknowledge it as readily as detected. He was at one time connected with
the Episcopal church or society in Norwich ; yet, at length, he united with the
Congregational church, of which Dr. Bond is now pastor, and of which he

married, in 1809, Susan, daughter of Rev. Achilles Mansfield, of Killino-worth,
' ' CD C /
Conn. He was remarkable, during his college course, for his correct and
gentlemanly deportment. His classmate and chum during the sophomore
year. Dr. McEwen, late of New London, speaks of him as a young man of
"very acceptable address, both private and public," as having "constitutional
discretion," and "good common sense." A revival of religion occurred in
college during his sophomore year, of which he became a subject. He very
soon decided to devote himself to the work of the ministry, and this hence-
forth was the aim, or business of his life. A habit of stammering had been
contracted, which threatened to interfere with this purpose; and at length his
embarrassment was such as almost efiectually to discourage his attempts.
But so firm was his conviction of his duty, and so earnest his desire to do
good in the work on which he had set his heart, that he set himself to the
daily task of reading, and re-reading with steadiness, long passages, until he
completely triumphed. After his graduation, he commenced with several
young men the study of theology under the guidance of Dr. Dwight ; and
after leaving New Haven, as was customary in those days, he sought the in-
struction and training which were to be found in the study and pastoral duties
of the private pastor. Such a school he enjoyed in the family of Rev. Asahel
Hooker, of Goshen, Conn.; and here he laid a good foundation for the marked
success which attended his brief but most useful ministry.
At the early age of twenty-one he commenced preaching, and from the first,
though exceedingly youthful in appearance, both the manner and the matter
of his discourses were such as to secure the approval of his hearers.
The memoir which appeared in the "Panophst," for Dec. 1820, will exhibit
the brief ministerial career and Christian character of Mr. Huntington, better
244 HUXTIXGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
than anything which can now be written. It is a tribute, penned by one who
knew well, and who highly prized the subject of it. It is the worthy testimo-
nial of a personal affection, wliich would forever embalm " those amiable and
desirable qualities, on which the eye dwells with unmingled satisfaction."
The memoir says : " Few yorung men have been received with more decided
marks of approbation on their first entering the pulpit; yet we never heard
that it produced in him any indication of vanity. This we consider as a most
remarkable triumph of good sense and piety over the love of distinction.
During the year that Mr. Huntington preached as a candidate, the people in
each of several vacant parishes were desirous of obtaining him for their min-
ister. He received two formal invitations on the same day, one from the Old
South church, Boston, and the other from the Congregational church in Mid-
dletown. Conn. About the same time he received an invitation from another
church in a pleasant and populous town. The unanimity with which these
calls were ofifered, by the most respectable congregations, in different parts of
the country, is proof that the person to whom they were addressed was a
youth of distinguished promise.
" After serious deliberation, and with the most judicious advice, he accepted
the invitation from the Old South church, and was ordained as colleague
pastor with the late Rev. Dr. Eckley, May 18, 1808.
" He had not quite completed the third year of his ministry, when the
senior pastor was suddenly removed by death, and the weight of a large
church and congregation rested upon him. Though deeply feeling his increased
responsibility, he was not disheartened, but continued his faithful labors with
alacrity and zeal. *******
" In th5 steady, noiseless, conscientious discharge of his official functions, did
this good man persevere, without any remarkable era in his life, till he was
summoned to an early tomb. His progress was that of increasing usefulness,
and extending reputation, and a most evident preparation for a better world."
His death occurred in Groton, Mass., at the residence of Rev. Dr. Chaplin,
while he was returning homeward on a journey for his health, on Saturday,
Sept. 11, 1819.
" On the succeeding Monday, the mortal remains were interred in Boston,
with appropriate exercises and great solemnity. A sermon was delivered on
the occasion by Rev. ]Mr. Dwight, in the Old South church, where an immense
concourse was assembled to express their interest in this solemn event, and to
pay a public tribute to distinguished worth. The clergy of Boston and the
vicinity, the members of the church and congregation of which the deceased
liad been pastor, and a multitude of other acquaintances and friends united
with the bereaved family and relatives in deploring their common loss, while
they praised God for the bright example of Christian virtue which they had
witnessed. The spacious house of wor.ship, where the last sad offices were
performed, was so crowded that many hundreds tried in vain to get admit-
tance. The tokens of unaffected mourning were so numerous and so impressive
SEYEXTH GENERATION. 245
that it could not be doubtful in what high and affectionate estimation the
character of the departed minister and friend was held."
His widow survived him but a little more than four years. She was born
in Killingworth, Conn., Jan. 27, 1791, and died in Boston, Thursday, Dec. 4,
1823. The "memoirs" of this gifted and beautiful woman was prepared by
the Rer. Dr. B. B. Wisner, her pastor, and passed through several editions.
It is a worthy memorial of a sainted and most lovely character, and occupies,
as was predicted by the Rev. Dr. Gordon of Edinburg, in his commendations
of the work, for the first Edinburg edition, "a high place among works of
Christian biography."
1365. Daniel, born Oct. 17, 1788, graduated at Yale in 1807, and studied
theology. He married, first, July 21, 1812, Mary Hallam, daughter of Capt.
Gurdon Salstonstall, and great granddaughter of the governor of that name.
He was ordained in October of the same year, as the third minister of the
Congregational church in North Bridgewater, Mass., in which office he con-
tinued until his health compelled him to abandon it in 1832. While there, his
wife died in 1822. He married, for his second wife, Oct. 28, 1823, Alma, daugh-
ter of Benjamin French, of Boston, who died June 3, 1837 ; after which he
married, for his third wife, Nov. 1, 1841, Sarah Sayr Rainey, of New London,
who is still living.
The Connecticut Historical Society's Library contains four sermons or ad-
dresses written by Mr. Huntington ; and a poem on rehgion delivered before
the United Brother's Society, of Providence, R. I. ; and " The Triumphs of
Faith," before the Porter Rhetorical Society of Andover. He also prepared
a very acceptable memorial of his own daughter, Mary Hallam, which was
published by the American Sunday School L'nion. He delivered also one of
the addresses at the anniversary of the Pilgrim Society in Plymouth. He
died in New London, May 21, 18.58. The following extracts from the tribute
to the worth of this good man, found in the Congregational Year Book for
1859, deserves a place in this family memorial :
" His first settlement in the ministry continued twenty years, and was at-
tended from time to time with the demonstration of the spirit and with power,
so that great numbers were added to the Lord. * * * After a tem-
porary respite from pastoral labors, he gained sufficient strength to gratify
his fine literary taste in the instruction of successive classes of young ladies in
the higher branches of an educational course, while residing in New London,
the city of his birth and death. In this employment, combined with occasional
preaching, as returning health permitted, seven years passed away usefully
and pleasantly. But his heart yearned for a return to the labors of his love
at his first entrance on public life ; and receiving an earnest call from a por-
tion of his original church and congregation, to take charge of them in the
Lord, he cheerfully consented to .he arrangement, and was received not only
by them, but by the original church, and by all the churches and pastors who
had known his going out and coming in in former years, with open arms. Af-
ter passing thirteen years in this section of his former field, winning souls to
243 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
Christ, and making glad the hearts of all by his tender love and faithfulness,
he obtained permission to retire to the home of his youth, and pass the eve-
ning of his days amid the scenes of his earliest asjDirations. The separation
occasioned many tears and much anguish of spirit to all concerned, though
rendered imperative by the providence of God.
"From that day, for about six years, till near the time of his departure, he
continued to preach the gospel, ' in season and out of season' as ' the open
door was set before him,' all the while ' setting his house in order.' At the
moment when his master called him, he was ' dihgent in business, fervent in
spirit, serving the Lord ;' preaching his last sermon to the mission church in
Mohegan, just four weeks before the messenger of death met him.
" The physical sufferings of his last days were very great, owing to the com-
plicated disease which, with fierce strength, assailed his delicate frame ; but
his faith and patience failed not ; no complaining or murmuring word fell from
his lips; his mind was clear and unclouded to the last. * * * Xo
the affectionate daughter who was trying to arrange the pillows for his aching
head, he said; 'Let me go, for the day breaketh;' and to another, who asked
if he would not lie down, he answered, ' Lay me down in Jesus' arms, other
refuge have I none.' To a brother, according to the flesh, who said to him,
'I hope you can say with the Apostle, 'I know in whom I have believed,' he
replied, after a moment's pause, ' I am persuaded that he is able to keep that
which I have committed to him against that day.' ^ * * * * *
" Far more dehghtful than easy would it be to portray the refined sensibili-
ties, the generous sympathies, tiie self forgetting spirit of sacrifice and the
heartfelt devotion to the world's welfare, that marked the life, and formed the
elements^ of character in this departed servant of God; and but for his un-
feigned hvmiility, and the extreme modesty that imposed a constant restraint
on the forth-putting of his native genius, * * * he had shone with
far superior brilliancy in the starry firmament of earth's ambition, though less
splendidly in that nobler firmament where stars never set, and the sun no
more goes down."
1366. Thomas, born Dec. 4, 1793, was educated for the medical profession.
He married, first, Oct. 21, 1818, Ehzabeth Colfax, who was born June 6, 1797,
and died April 1, 1830. He married, for his second wife, April 19, 1831, Pau-

ticut, a son of the second, and grandson of the first governor of that name in
the state, and a descendant of that noble man, the Enghsh Armiger, Henry
Wolcott of Windsor, who succeeding a long line of titled ancestry in the
mother land, came to establish in this a long Une of nature's true nobility.
The son of John Wolcott of Golden Manor, Tolland, England, has not yet
wanted among his descendants worthy representatives of the spirit which the
motto of the Wolcott Arms breathes and produces : '• nulhus addictus jurare
in verba magistri;" " accustomed to swear in the words of no master."
Mr. Wolcott was much in pubhc fife, having been several years a member
of the state senate, and clerk both of the county and superior courts. She
died April 2. 1812. A letter written by Cob Benjamin Talmadge, then in
Congress, dated Washington city, April 12, just after her death, speaks thus
of this noble Christian woman : •• In the death of Mrs. Wolcott. thp religion
of Jesus has received another glorious proof of its divine original. The ac-
count that we have received of the bright and unclouded prospects which
broke in upon the mind of this dear disciple of Jesus, has so far cleared up the
gloom of death, that we see much greater cause for gratitude and praise, than
for mourning and sorrow. Far be it from us to suggest a single idea that
should impress your minds with the behef that we can view this removal in
any light than an irreparable loss, for we loved her when living and shaU vener-
ate her memory now that she is dead, * * * The circumstances attend-
ing this removal have been so merciful and gracious that we have felt con-
strained to make our acknowledgements to the great Author and finisher of

which made the life of our deceased friend so useful and her death so tri-
umphant, to admire and adore that glorious physician who could calm the
troubled conscience, allay every fear, dispel every doubt, and so fortify the
soul in the prospect of a solemn judgment, that it would even welcome death,
as the messenger of peace. * * * That the triumphant death of your
beloved daughter may be remembered with suitable marks of gratitude and
praise, by the parents, by the bereaved consort and by us all, is the fervent
prayer of your affectionate friends."

57 §. SIMON. Hinsdale Mass.
This family were all born in Worthington, Mass., excepting Samuel and
Jonathan.
1407. Ralph, born Nov. 23, 1784, married, Nov. 20, 1809, Judith Cooper,
daughter of Perez and Lucy (Rand) Bradford. She was descended from the
oldest son of Gov. Wilham Bradford of Mayflower memory, and was possessed
of great excellencies of person and of mind, but fell a victim to a pulmonary
complaint at the early age of twenty-one years. She died in Boston, Nov. 8,
1812. Mr. Huntington enjoyed in youth only the ordinary advantages of the
sons of our farmers of that period, in the common school. He fitted himself
by such facilities, aided by the help of the village pastor, for teaching, and
commenced his business career, alternating between the school-room in the
winter, and the labors of the farm in the summer, equally industrious and
successful in both. With the aid of his pastor's instruction, he pursued the
higher branches of an English education, and at the age of twenty-one he was

prepared to take charge of an academy in Hatfield, from which post he was
called to a similar charge in Northampton, where he remained about two years.
He now accepted a position as clerk in the Northampton Bank, and here, too,
the same diligence which had before been characteristic of him was shown ;
employing his time, out of bank hours, in copying for the probate office, and
register of deeds. In 1808, one of the directors of the bank sent him to Bos-
ton to transact for him some business, and after its successful execution, and
a brief interim of travel he opened, in the fall of this year, an exchange office
on State street, Boston, in which business he soon took his place among the
first of the Boston exchangers and bankers. Relinquishing this business to
his younger brother Benjamin, he entered on commercial Hfe, establishing a
house in connection with his brother Samuel, in St. Domingo, W. I., where
for twenty years they prosecuted a large and lucrative trade. On the death
of his brother he closed up his business in St. Domingo, and returned to Bos-
ton, where he has spent several years in connection with insurance companies,
banks and other business corporations. As one of the original projectors and
proprietors of the splendid \yestern Avenue connecting BrookUne so closely
with Boston, and promising so large an accession, for building purposes, to the
territory of those cities, he deserves, and he will receive the grateful remem-
brance of both communities. At present he is president of the Boston and
Roxbury Mill Corporation, and an extensive stockholder and director in the
Boston Water Power Co.
1408. Samuel, born in Middlefield, Mass., Oct. 31, 1786, married in St.
Domingo, Honorie Chanlatte, a French lady and a native of that island.
He commenced life as a lawyer, having pursued his legal studies with his
kinsman, Judge Samuel Gray Huntington of Troy, N. Y. He opened an of-
fice first in Port Gibson, and soon in New Orleans, La., where he at once en-
tered upon a career of marked popularity. He was possessed of many quali-
ties which ensure success in that profession. His personal bearing, full of the
graces of gentlemanly culture, his elocution, richly musical and skillfully
varied, and his ready command of language felicitously adapted to his wants,
all contributed to his early success. His reputation rapidly extended and he
already held in promise a civic career, answerable to his native ambition, now
excited by the stimulus of almost unbounded success. Suddenly a new turn
is given to his impulsive course. The great South American Liberator,
Bolivar, met him in one of his visits to New Orleans, and found it no difficult
task to influence his youthful ambition with an ardent desire to share in the
perils and glory of his own ambitious career. Quitting his business he eager-
ly engaged in the service of the chieftain. His heart, his hand, his means,
were all consecrated to the cause ; and but for the sudden loss of his health
amid the excitements and diseases of his new life in a climate so enervatingr to
one whose youth was fed on the bracing airs of a Berkshire home, his career
would doubtless have run to its end parallel with that of Bolivar himself
Retiring from this adventurous field he entered into business with his broth-
er Ralph, in St. Domingo, where to the end of his life he devoted himself with

all his remaining vigor to its successful prosecution. His death occurred on
a passage to the United States for his health, June 11, 1831.
1409. Benjamin, born June 1, 1789, married Caroline, daughter of Peter
Dolliver of Boston, who survived her husband many years, and died in Xew
York, Dec. 13, 1852. He commenced life in Boston as a broker, and continued
in this business until his death, in June, 1832. His personal form and bear-
ing were such as befits the military character, and he was easily introduced
into the military corps, and attained the rank of colonel. An incident oc-
curred during the visit of Lafayette to Boston, in 182-4, which greatly pleased
the colonel, as a tribute to the family of which he was justly proud. At one
of the public occasions on which the citizens were introduced to Lafayette, as
the name of Benjamin Huntington was announced, and the bearer presented,
the illustrious and grateful Frenchman paused a moment to inquire if he was
a relative of his old friend, Samuel Huntington, President of the Continental
Congress. When the colonel answered in the aifirmative, Lafayette again
grasped his hand, and with much emotion exclaimed : " Young man, you
have noble blood in your veins, see that you never dishonor it."

Maryland, and were Catholics. Her mother was Nancy, daughter of Henry
Palmer of Charleston, S. C. She was, on her father's side, related to Charles
CarroU of Carrollton, and through her mother's mother, who was a Caldwell,
she was related to John C. Calhoun of South Carolina. " She was distin-
guished for the graces both of her mind and person, for high intellectual cul-
tivation, for the most refined and elegant tastes, as a charming pattern of wife
and mother, and, as the crowning beauty of her character, for her pure and
humble piety. No woman was more universally loved and admired, through-
out the extensive circle in which she moved when living, and no one was ever
more sincerely and deeply mourned at her death."
Mr. Huntington early devoted himself to the study of law, and was admit-
ted to the bar at the early age of twenty-one, ^ie had commenced preparing
for coUege while living with his uncle, Elisha ISlills of Canandaigua, N. Y. ;
but on the removal of his uncle, he entered, at the age of fourteen, the law of-
fice of the Hon. Mark H. Sibley, where, for a year, he won the confidence of
his employer by his fidehty to the duties of the office, and for his persevering
diligence out of office hours. In 1822, he went, with his older brother, Na-
thaniel, to Indiana, where he spent four years in varied exercise and travel,
and reading, until he was admitted to the bar. He was soon appointed first
prosecuting attorney, by the legislature. He then served four years in the
legislature, when he was appointed president judge of his district, and held
the office for four years. He was next appointed commissioner of the general land
office at Washington City, D. C. ; and subsequently, in 1842, he was nomina-
33
258 H U X T I X G T (J N FAMILY M E 31 O I K .
ted by President Tyler, and appointed United States district judge for In-
diana. This office he held until his death, and its duties, in the words of the
Hon O. H. Smith, in his history of Early Lidiana, he " has discharged to the
entire satisfaction of the bar." The same author gives this estimate of Mr,
Huntington's ability : '• His mind is of a high order, his judgment good, and
his courtesy to the bar such as to make him highly esteemed by all. Long
may he live, say the bar of Indiana, one and all, so far as I have ever heard."
The above estimate is fully sustained by a perusal of any of Judge Hun-
tington's charges and decisions. They are eminently clear, sound, and practi-
cal. Their good common sense would give them weight, at once, with the
court, the jury, and the people. They are such as only the clear-headed ju-
rist, the inflexible judge, and the thoroughly loyal citizen would give.
Mr. Huntington was also eminently a social man, making just such a com-
panion as any cultivated and liighly gifted person would choose. His attain-
ments, all made from the impulses of his own inquisitive mind, were very ex-
tensive and at ready command. He was a charming correspondent and con-
versationist. His interest in his family wa,s exceedingly earnest, and it ex-
tended to the somewhat numerous family name in which he felt a true kins-
manl)^ pride. He had counted much on being present with the family at their
meeting in Norwich in 1857, but a sudden official engagement hindered him.
In a letter to the author, apologizing for the disappointment, he said : " I have
been hoping that I should be able to meet you and a thousand more of our
blood, at Norwich on the 3d, according to intention. I have long desired to
visit my ancestral state, and to know, personally, some of the name who still
linger around the homes of my forefathers. That the family re-union will be
a dehghtful occasion, I cannot doubt, and as I cannot be there, I beg you to
assure all those who there assemble, that nothing but the most imperative
reasons could keep me away."
In 1858 he removed from Cannellton. Ind. to Torre Haute, to spend the re-
mainder of his life. A pulmonary disease soon obhged him to seek relief in
another clime. He visited St. Paul. ^linnesota, and thence went to Cuba, but
finding the climate of Havana too enervating, he returned immediately,
much weakened by the voyage. He felt that his days were fast numbering,
and he only wished, as he expressed himself in faiHng breath, to reach home
and •• die among my people and friends in Illinois, the people whom I love."
Staying a short time at his pleasant home, he yearned for the pure and bra-
cing air of the Upper Minnesota, and taking his two daughters, he again sought
temporary relief in St. Paul. But his disease had made too deep inroads
upon his strength to be arrested or helped, and he died here on Sunday, Oct.
'Jt">. 1802. His remains were taken, as he wished them to be. by his nephew,
John H. Rea. of Indianapohs. to Terre Haute for interment.

ow of Lieut. Thomas Russel, of H. B. M. Regiment. He earlv in life inter-
ested himself in politics, and to the end showed himself to be a man of the
people and for the people. Human rights, even against governmental de-
mands, were sufficient incentives for 1^ earnest and self-sacrificing advocacy.
"• He became distinguished for his stern devotion to liberal principles, and for
incorruptible integrity. Honors and emoluments he spurned and despised,
when weighed in the balance of a people's rights." W^ell was it said of hun,
" he was in no sense an ordinary man." In a tribute to his memory, found in
the Provincial Magazine, and stUl later, in the Yarmouth Herald, are found
most flattering testimonials of his worth. It says of him : '■ he was the author
of no literary work, he threw no new or additional hght upon any department
of science or philosophy, he was not an orator, nor even a ready and grace- '
ful speaker, he led no victorious army, in his manners there was nothing to
captivate ; and yet, perhaps no man in Nova Scotia ever enjoyed a more deep,
general, and hearty popularity. '• He was no courtier, no sycophant ; and he
was too high minded, and had too much self respect to pander to vulgar preju-
dices. The problem of his popularity is. however, easily solved. With him
it was a consequence, not an object. It was the necessary and unsought re-
sult of pubhc services ably and faithfully performed.
264 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
No public man in Nova Scotia has exhibited more innate sagacity, vigor,
and clearness of perception than he. Common sense was a prominent attri-
bute of his intellectual organization. While his views were broad and com-
prehensive, he had the power of analyzing with great minuteness and accuracy,
as well as with faciUty. He was thoroughly versed in all questions relating
to political economy, to commerce, to currency, and to statistics and financial
concerns.
In reference to the toiling and industrial classes he occupied a distinguished
and anomalous position in the legislature. It was his delight and pride to
represent the much neglected claims and interests of those whose labors were
adding to the general wealth and improvement of the Province. He desired
nothing more ardently than to see the laboring masses of his country intelli-
gent, moral, industrious, and imbued with the spirit of self respect, prosperous
and happy.
His patriotism " was a modest, unobtrusive impulse of his nature, which
was not proclaimed upon the house-tops ; but which was unmistakably exem-
plified in worthy acts."
The brief eulogy, from which the above extracts are taken, concludes thus :
" We have attempted to sketch the lineaments of a clear-headed, strong-
minded, and sound-hearted patriot of Nova Scotia. In conclusion, we may,
however, say, that a kinder or more afiFectionate heart never beat towards
those who had claims upon its sympathy and love, than that of Herbert Hun-
tington."
That the above sketch is a faithful portraiture of an honored man, is abund-
antly attested by the unsolicited honors voted him by his fellow citizens. For
eighteen years he was a member of the Nova Scotia legislature ; in 1839 he
was appointed by the House of Assembly, one of two delegates to lay before
the colonial secretary in London the provincial grievances. In 1848 he was
chosen executive councilor, and in 1849 was appointed financial secretary of
the Province. Both of these offices he resigned in 1850 in consequence of
declining health. After his death, which occurred in Sept., 1851, the legisla-
ture of his native Province unanimously voted to erect to his memory a monu-
ment at the pubUc expense.

profession, he was ordained to this work in the Unitarian denomination, and
settled in Boston, where he labored with great popularity, until he was called
to the Plummer professorship of Christian morals in Harvard University. He
was inducted into this responsible office, Sept. 4, 1855, and his reply to the
discourse of president Walker on that occasion, contains so distinct a statement
of his theological position, and of his ministerial aims, that I am happy to
quote the following characteristic exposition.
"I wish to remember, and I beg you, sir, never to suffer me to forget that
my special and elect business here is to be a minister of Christ; not of nature-
worship, which is idolatry, not of Pantheism, which is a superstition, not of
a religion humanly created or developed, which is a self-contradiction, not of
an ethical philosophy, which has no Jesus for its embodiment, and no cross for
its symbol. The common need of a renewal, or second birth, out of the spon-
taneous life of nature or of sinful estrangement, into the life of consecrated
choice and principled submission, having the Son of God for its inmost motive,
his will for its law, and the prayer which 'asks beUeving that it shall receive'
for its daily breath; reconciliation for offending consciences and forgivenesses
to a repentant faith by a Redeemer, who is at once the manifestation of God,
and the example-man; the ever-hving presence of the Comforter, which is the
perpetuation of the Incarnate Mediatorship in the church; the practical and
universal acting forth of this rehgion of love and grace thus planted in the
soul, into every form of noble and beautiful holiness — into integrity, purity^
charity — into the reform of every social abuse — the overthrow of every
organized wrong — the cleansing of every secret corruption, and thus the con-
structive achievement of a church of believers, or brotherhood of all nations
and tribes and tongues, proclaiming liberty, right, and peace : these are the
messages for the age, and for all ages, for students and thinkers, for workers
and for sufferers."
The above exposition will show the thoroughly evangelical spirit of Dr.

Huntington. Adopting, literally, the Trinitarian creed, he was admitted suc-
cessively to the orders of deacon, priest and minister in the Episcopal church,
and instituted rector of Emanuel church in Boston, in 1860, where he is now
engaged. As preacher, he stands in the front rank of pulpit orators ; and he
has also won high distinction among our most popular lecturers.
His contributions to our current literature have been very numerous, and it
would be difficult to decide whether he excels more as speaker or writer. From
the commencement of his college course his pen and voice have been most ef-
fectively employed. The fruits of the former have been very numerous on the
pages of the Horse CoUegianse of Amherst College, of which he was one of
the editors, the Boston Courier, the Monthly Miscellany, the Christian
Examiner, the Christian Register, the Monthly Religious Magazine, of
which he was associate editor with Rev. Dr. Gannett, and subse-
quently sole editor, the Democratic Review, the Boston Post, the Boston
Book, Saturday Evening Gazette, American Journal of Education, the Boston
Traveler, and the New York Independent. He has also furnished several
hymns for festive and rehgious occasions. Besides these, the following are some
of his addresses of a miscellaneous character which were given to the press :
" Christ the Pacificator," before the American Peace Society ; " Christian
Burial," at the consecration of the Mount Hope Cemetery ; " The Religion
that is natural," before the Young Men's Christian Union ; several agricultural
addresses ; " Unconscious Tuition ;" " Hands, Brain, Heart," before the Mass.
Mechanic's Charitable Association ; address on opening a demetery in Newton ;
Bi-Centennial address at Hadley, Mass., June 8, 1859 ; " Home and College,"
an address at the Mass. State House, 1860 ; " The relation of the Sunday
School to the Church," an address before the Mass. convention of S. S. Teach-
ers ; and " Divine Aspect of Heaven." The following are some the sermons
which have been printed: "The Christian Doctrine of Charity," before the
Howard Benevolent Society ; New Year's Sermon, in South Congregational
church, Boston ; " Duties and Relations of the Rich to the Poor," at the ninth
anniversary of the Warren street Chapel ; " Peace the Demand of Christiani-
ty;" " The Great Conflict of the Day ;" " The Good Samaritan;" " The Fam-
ine and the Sword ;""The vSimplicity of Christian Duty ;" Sermon on the fiftieth
anniversary of the Boston Female Asylum ; " The Treatment of Poverty," be-
fore the society for the prevention of Pauperism ; " The Word of Life, a Uv-
ing ministry and a living church," before the graduating class of the Harvard
Theological School ; a discourse before the Benevolent Fraternity of
Churches; "Mercantile Integrity and its securities;" "Learning and Life,"
to the graduating class of Harvard ; " Three Dispensations," in Fisk's " Pul-
pit Eloquence of the Nineteenth Century ;" Election Sermon before Mass.
Legislature ; " Permanent Realities in Religion ;" Sermon at dedication of
Appleton Chapel at Harvard University ; " Tlie diversified ministry of an un-
changing Gospel." preached at the installation of Rev. E. E. Hale over the
South Congregational church, Boston ; " A Year of Church Work," an anni-
versary sermon before Emanuel church, Boston. Sept., 1861 ; and " Two Ways
in Religion," a pamphlet in behalf of evangelical truth.
SEVENTH GENERATION. 271
Besides these contributions to our literature, Dr. Huntington issued, in
1856, a volume of •' Sermons for the People," containing twenty-six discourses,
admirable equally for their charming style, their Christian temper, and their
earnestly practical character ; a second volume, " The Constitution of Human
Society, as illustrating the Goodness, Wisdom and Power of God," containing
eight discourses dehvered in Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1858 and '9, as the '• Graham
Lectures ;" and the third volume of sermons on " Christian Believing and Liv-
ing."
He also edited, in 1860, '• The Rock of Ages," by Bickersteth, with an In-
troduction ; and in the same year issued the Lyra Domestica, a collection of
sacred poetry. In 1801 and 1862 he was editor of the Church Monthly, pub-
lished in Boston, Mass.

Eli Smith, D. D., the eminent American missionary at Beyrout, Syria.
The memoir of this gifted and truly christian member of the family has been
worthily compiled and written by her brother-in-law, the Rev. Dr. Edward
Hooker. The memorial is a just tribute to her great excellence and useful-
ness ; its careful study could but be grateful and profitable to every one who
bears her name.
Doing good to others, would, I think, most exactly express her life-work
from early childhood to its close. She early acquired a mastery over every
form of self-seeking, that she might live for others. At the age of eighteen,
with a consideration unusual with one of her years, she deliberately consecrat-
ed herself to the service of Christ. " I am anxious," her correspondence tes-
tifies, " tofiU up life with usefulness, that God may be honored." In the sabbath
school of her own church, among the poor and unfortunate in her own neighbor-
hood, with the remnant of the neglected Mohegan IncUans, for whose spiritual
and temporal good she unweariedly toiled, iu her sympathy and cheerful la-
bors for the unfortunate Greeks during their struggles, and for the perishing
heathen of a foreign land, she equally exhibited tliis leading aim of her life.
And she was anxious that her kindred might possess the same spirit. She says
of them all, '' If the numerous Huntingtons are useful in tlieir generation, it
is of little consequence whether they are conspicuous."
In fullfihnent of this most earnest desire of her heart she engaged, as early
as the year 1827, in an eftbrt to secure the secular and religious instruction of
the Mohegan Indians — a small remnant of that tribe still left, upon the West
bank of the Thames, some five miles below Norwich. Here, with much pray-
ing and toil, she established a missionary school, both for the week day and
the sabbath; and with the aid of two such kindred spirit-s as Miss Breed of
Norwich, and Miss Raymond of ]Montville, she accom])lished a good work.
The nature and method of this work are best exhibited in her own words.
" Seated in my Uttle missionary apartment, which serves for parlor, bed-
c^
c^^ C-^yi^ . <:^-^
EIGHTH GENERATION. 321
room, kitchen, school-room, and chapel, I have composed myself to the sweet
employment of answering your good and long letter. I have a school of
eighteen or twenty, including four adults, one man, two married women, and
a ' Squasisse.' They come at half-past nine and stay until four, having half
an hour's intermission ; and we carry on arithmetic, millinery, tailoring, &c.,
besides the ordinary avocations of a school. All these, with the government
of untutored, untamed beings, nearly exhaust my powers, during the day ;
and at evening I have work to fit and my ' profession' to study. But I am
quite satisfied. I came here for their benefit and not to please myself. Our
sabbath school is nearly twice as large, embracing whites, and is kept up four
hours of the sabbath, besides an intermission. I leave home Sunday morning
and return the next Sunday evening, and ^liss Raymond does the same, so
we are both here on the Sabbath."
Nor were her labors here unrewarded. She persevered in enlisting her
friends in the measure, until she had secured a chapel and an appropriation
from Congress of five hundred dollars towards a house for a permanent teach-
er, and an annuity of four hundred for his support.
But more than this. She had won the confidence and afiectionate regard
of the neglected children for whom she labored, nor have the years which have
since passed, eSaced her loved form and her holy teachings from the memory
of their still grateful hearts. Tlie writer, many years after she had left them,
heard from the lips of more than one of them the simple story of their grati-
tude. Well and truthfully cUd her early friend, Mrs. Sigourney, thus embalm
in her sweet verse these labors.
Hear I the murmured echo of thy name,
From yon poor forest-race ? 'Tis meet for them
To hoard thy memory, as a blessed star,
For thou didst seek their lowly homes, and tell
Their sad-browed children of a Savior's love,
And of that clime where no oppressor comes.
Cold winter found thee there, and summer's heat,
With zeal unblenching. Though, perchance, the sneer
Mght curl some worldhng's hp, 'twas not for thee
To note its language, or to scorn the soul
Of the neglected Indian, or to tread
Upon the ashes of his buried kings
As on a loathsome weed. Thy own fair halls
Lured thee in vain, until the hallowed church
Beared its light dome among them, and the voice
Of a devoted shepherd, day by day.
Called back these wanderers to the sheltering fold
Of a Redeemer's risrhteousness.
'O
Nor less truthfully, or with less grace, did the Rt. Rev. Bishop Lee of Dela-
ware, allude to these labors for the Indians, in the address which he delivered

322 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
at the great bi-ceiiteimial celebration, in Norwich, in 1859. I quote from
memory, yet am sure I report the spirit of the touching record. '' With an
angrel's alacritv she ent-ered on this work. Where stronj^ men would have
shrunk back, this fair and dehcate woman never hesitated."
But another field of labor was prepared for her, when she was no longer
needed here. Just two months after her marriage she embarked at Boston
for Malta, on her way to Syria, the missionary field to which she had cheer-
fully consecrated the remainder of her days. The same prayerfulness, the
same afiectionate consideration toward her parents and friends, and the same
intelligent preparation for her work, which had previously made her so useful
and acceptable, were in this most important and trying decision no less appa-
rent. She had prepared both herself and friends, and now that she had
started on the final mission of her life, she went as one who has lost all sense
of a duty calling for self-denial, in the conscious enjoyment of a privilege of
which she deemed herself unworthy. On the 28th Jan. 1831:, she reached
Beyroot, her future home. In sight of Lebanon, she felt herself to be on
sacred ground ; and though in the iLiidst of an ignorance and heathenism that
touched her deepest sympathies, she was now satisfied to find herself in the
very spot to which her heavenly Father hacl»led her. She had no will but to
work henceforth in this heaven-appointed field. Here, for about two years
and a half, she was permitted to enjoy the labors of the successful missionary.
Early and late, each day, in season and out of season, wherever she might be,
she was ever at the work which she loved. She came to feel each half hour
sacred to some special and useful service. While in Beyroot, she was, at the
same time, engaged in learning the language, in teaching a school, in aiding her
husband in preparing manuscript for the press, and in superintending the
needed domestic arrangements of her large household.
But she was not destined to a long service in this heathen land. Her
health having given out, she left Beyroot in June, 1836, with her husband, to
visit Smyrna. On the passage occurred an event which, while it illustrated
the simphcity and strength of her faith, aggravated the symptoms of her dis-
ease. Ofi" to the north of Cyprus their vessel struck upon a reef, and they
were obhged to trust themselves to the long-boat, by which they were length
safely landed on the uninhabited coast of Asia Minor. From this sandy beach,
they were next morning removed, by a lumber boat from Damietta, in Egypt,
to the deserted harbor of Selefkeh. Here, for about five days, she was ex-
posed to burning sun and the chill air of night alike, with scarcely the de-
fenses of ordinary clothing, this having been much of it lost by the wreck.
One sabbath and one birth-day she thus spent. Yet this dying woman found,
even then, occasions for gratitude. She had, it is true, none of those comforts
which had before blessed her natal days — the presence of her dear friends,
and the bountiful tokens of their love ; she had not even a sufficiency of food,
or the comfort of a place for rest ; but she had sources of joy which sustained
her ; even there, angels, no doubt, ministered to her. Tliat lone, and we should
say, desolate sabbath, brought, as she herself testified, to her, "a feast of fat
EIGHTH GENERATION. 82
tKings." From his pulpit of stones, the Rev. !Mr. Wynne, who had also shared
their fate in the shipwreck, read from the English liturgy. "Never," she said,
*' did I so realize the beauty of that formulary, and its value under such cir-
cumstances."
At length, on the sixth day after they had been wrecked, they were taken
off; and on the 13th of July they were landed at Smyrna. But her disease
had now assumed a positive form. It was rendered certain that her lungs
were too much diseased to admit of her recovery ; and the succeeding weeks
only the more confirmed the fears of her husband, as they gradually carried
her down toward her end. On the 7th of August she was removed to Boojah,
a village some five miles from Smyrna. Here, in resignation and in Christian
joy, she awaited her end. In communion with her Savior, in pleasant memo-
ries of dear friends in other lands, and in spirit-longings for the communion
of sainted friends, who had alreadv gone above, she had orreat delight: until
she was called, herself, to all the glory and joy of a Christian's final triumph.
She had finished her Ufe-work ; she had given up all she had clung to on earth ;
she had nobly resigned her earthly interest in her devoted and loved husband,
and she was ready to go. Too weak to utter words Tor human ears, she spoke
her last benediction in the sweet smile which lighted up her face, as with the
radiance of her new home, in Heaven.
An appropriate monument marks the place of her interment, iu a quiet spot
in the village where she died, on which this record may be read :
"To benevolent efibrts for the youth and the ignorant of her native city;
for the neglected remnant of its aboriginal inhabitants, and for the benighted
females of Syria, she devoted all her ardent, expansive, and untiring energies,
as a servant of Christ, until, sinking under missionary labors at Beyroot, she
was brought liither. and died in triumphant faith, Sept. 30, 1836, aged 34."

2442. Peter Laxmax, born Sept. 16, 1809, and graduated at Yale College,
in 1828. During his junior year he became the subject of a revival which
then occurred in college, and with all the earnestness of his ardent nature
devoted himself to the life of a Christian, and to the work of preparation for
the ministry. The memoir of his sister Sarah L., states, that " for the purpose
of obtaining means to prosecute his professional studies, and also for the
benefit to be derived to his own character, he went to Natchez, Mss., to en-
gage in the labors of a private tutor in a family." But he was not to succeed
in this leading aim of his heart. A fall which he had received before going
South, had seriously affected his spine, and soon began to show its results
upon his entire nervous system. He was forced to abandon his professional
studies, and return home again, to Linger awhile in great suffering, until death
should come to his relief. He died, solaced with all the most precious minis-
tries of his beloved home, and of his unwavering faith, Dec. 24, 1832.
The following tribute from the pen of his classmate and friend, the Rev.
324 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIE.
Dr. Tryon Edwards, is so appropriate, that I am happy to be allowed to let
it complete this estimate of one so gifted and so promising. He says ;
" I knew him well. He was active and earnest in temperament ; impulsiye,
warm-hearted, and generous; strong in all his statements and prejudices;
good in all departments of study, but excelling as a belles-lettres scholar ;
cultivated in taste ; refined in feeling ; cordial in manner, and a true gentle-
man in address, and in all his intercourse, and evidently one to make his mark
in the world, in whatever sphere he might be placed. In his junior year in
college he became deeply impressed with the subject of religion, and united
himself to the College church. From this time, all his strong traits were
turned into a new channel, and his earnest ambition was directed to the true
ends of living. Had he been spared, he would have made a man of promi-
nence and usefulness."

was in the United States naval service as assistant surgeon. He has been
for several years engaged in teaching a private school for boys in the city of
Brooklyn, N. Y.
He spent much time during his leisure for several years in gathering mate-
rials for a genealogical list of the Huntington family, and very kindly allowed
the writer of this the use of his manuscript. The collection embraced about
two thousand of the descendants of the two Huntingtons who were pioneers
in the settlement of Norwich, and was of very great value in the construction
of this genealogical memoir of the family.

EIGHTH G E X E Ic A 1 I O X . 829
the esteem and confidence of the captain and officers of the ship, "■ for his
fidehty and zeal in perfecting himself in his profession." In a second voyage in
the same vessel, the captain leaving his post at Genoa, he was made first super-
cargo, and with the mate completed the voyage. The third voyage he com-
menced, in 1811, as master of the ship, and returned in April, 18i2, having spent
six and a half years upon the water, with only some ten weeks at home. During
his next voyage an incident occurred, v,^hich both tested his seamanship and
proved him to be a humane and generous man. After crossing the equa-
tor ofi" the coast of South America, he fell in with a Portuguese vessel, which
had been disabled, and which was in a sinking condition. At great peril, both
to himself personally, and to his crew, he rescued fourteen of the Portuguese,
and carried them into Rio Janeiro. This voyage was succeeded by seven
others, in the " Borneo," and all of them successful, ■• without any accident
whatever." In Oct., 18-18, he sailed in the ship " Augustine Plurd," for Australia
and Van Dieman's Land, and returned in 1850. He was about startinor on
another voyage, when he was taken with a sickness which ended, prematurely,

it as have been learned, since it seems to have been the source of all our
mistaken family tradition. The letter, I think, has never been published in
full. The Genealogical Register has an extract from it and gives it as
having been addressed to Eliphalet (235) a younger brother of the au-
thor. Having met tlie letter, or parts of it (in different forms,) I am in-
clined to think that the main part of it was kept by Dr. Huntington, as
embodying the result of his inquiries, and sent out by him to such members of
the family as were likely to be interested in it, or to such as might add to its
correctness. And the introduction may have been such as the particular case
seemed to call for. Some of the copies could not have been addressed to a
brother of the author, and others were evidently directed to persons not con-
nected with the family. To whom the original was written I tliink cannot be
. ascertained. The following copy exhibits the letter, as begun and ended, but
to whom addressed does not appear from the letter itself The copy was
handed to Dr. Joshua Huntington of Brooklyn, by Francis J. Hunting-ton,
Coventry, :March 26, 1793.
Dear Sir — Your letter of the 2od inst. gave me great deliglit, as I thereby
find you have an atfection to our family and wish to be acquainted with our
descent and pedigree. Near thirty years ago I made the most careful inquiry
I was able, and from various persons and means I obtained the intelligence I
now send you.
Near the close of the reign and tragical death ofCharlesthe 1st, who was then
the Kin<?" of Great Britain, /. c. near the year KJlO, (for in 1648 the king was
beheadjti) the original stock of our family in America, who was a citizen of
Norwich, in England, and a religious puritan under persecution, (with many
others in those days.) with his wife and three sons, embarked for America-
His name was Simon Huntington. This good man was grandfather to your
grandfather and mine. He was more than fifty years of age, and his wife some-
years younger. Their three sons were in the bloom of youth. Their names
were Christopher, Simon and Samuel. They made their course for the mouth
of the Connecticut river; but our progenitor being seized with a violent fever
and dvsentery, died within sight of tlie shore, Avhither he was brought and
now lies buried either in Saybrook or Lyme, as both towns were but one at
first.
His widow, our grandfather's grandmother, was a lady of good family, piety
and virtue, and had a valuable fortune left her in m,oney, and not long after
she was married to a gentleman in AVindsor, which town was settled almost as
early as any in Connecticut. His name was Stoughton. Tliere the good lady
finished her life in affluence and comfort.
The three sons settled first at Saybrook ; but soon after the younger, viz :
Samuel, removed into New Jersey and settled at Newark, where there is a re-
spectable family of our name and kindred, though not very numerous in the
branches of it.
376 HUNTINGTON FAMILY MEMOIR.
Not long after the settlement of our ancestors at Sayhrook the venerable
Mr, Fitch came over to take the pastoral charge of them. Soon after this, they
made the discovery of the township we call Norwich, and which they so named
in regard to the city of Norwich, in England, from which the most respectable
part of them came.
The people began to emigrate from Saybrook to Norwich in considerable
numbers, and all dearly loved their minister. A warm contention arose be-
tween the emigrants and those that remained at Saybrook, with regard to their
minister, which 'Sir. Fitch decided very wisely. He told them that he had a
dear love for them all, but he could do no other than cleave to the major part,
wheresoever their residence miglit be. Accordingly, as the greater part of
the charge soon removed to Norwich, he also settled there ; was the first min-
ister of that town, a faithful and worthy servant of Christ, and a friend to the
souls of men. Laboring manv vears in the sacred work there, until old ase
deprived him of further usefulness, he then removd to Lebanon and there
died. This good man was the progenitor of all who bore the name in Nor-
wich and the tovrns adjacent.
But to return to our family. About the time that Samuel, before mention-
ed, removed to Newark, the other two brothers came to Norv/ich, viz : Chris-
topher and Simon, and there lived in honor, piety and prosperity to a good
old age.
The sons of Christopher were Christopher, Thomas and John. The sons of
this last mentioned Christopher were, Christopher, Isaac, Jabez, Matthew,
Hezekiah, John and Jeremiah. The sons of Thomas were Thomas, Jedidiah,
Christopher, Eliezer, "William and Simon. John left but one son, bearing his
own name.
This, you will note, brings the pedigree of our family down, in one branch of
it, to a collateral line with your father and mine, i. e. in the branch of Christo-
pher, the son of Simon, who was the original stock of all who bear the name
in this country.
I next acquaint you with another branch, i. e. the branch of Simon, son of
the original Simon, from whence you and I have our descent direct. His sons
were Simon, Joseph, Samuel, Daniel and James. The sons of the last men-
tioned Simon, were Simon, Ebenezer and Joshua. The sons of Joseph were
Joseph, Nathaniel, Jonathan, David and Solomon. The sons of Samuel were
Samuel, Caleb, John and Simon. The sons of Daniel were Daniel, Jonathan
and Benjamin. The sons of James were James, Peter and Nathaniel.
With regard to that branch in New Jersey, descended from Samuel, son of
the original Simon, he left one son, Samuel by name, on a collateral line with
our grandfather Joseph. This Samuel had three sons, Thomas, Simon and
.Samuel, which were on a collateral line with you father and mine:
This is an account of all tlie male issue of our family, from the original Si-
mon down to our own immediate parents, and contains a series of about a
-century and a half. AVe have kindred of the same name now in England, and
among them some very respectable, as the family was at the time of the emi-
gration of our progenitors. A brother of the original Simon, whose name was
Samuel, was captain of the King's Life Guard, and mucli in his favor. With
regard to the succeeding branches of our family in this country, they are
somewhat numerous, though not so much dispersed as some other families.
We can with great facility at any time collect an account of them, as they are
on a collateral line with us of lower descent, and are all with us in open view,
whenever we wish to visit them or inquire after them. The whole difficulty is
over in bringing the pedigree down as far as I have brought it. If my life
should be spared, however, I had thought of adding an account of two or
three generations more, which may be easily done, only by writing to those
who are of equal descent with ourselves, each one will readily send in an ac-
count of his own posterity."
APPENDIX C. 877
Of the letter copied above, the first and last paragraphs have never been
printed — all the rest may be found, with but very slight verbal diflerence, in
the Genealogical Register.
One sentence of the letter supposes it to have been addressed to the author's
own cousin. " Our grandfather Joseph," could have been used only to a son
of one of Joseph's sons. I find among the memoranda collected by Dr. Joshua
(2444) this very timely minute : '• March 2.5, 1847. I have to-day seen an-
other copy of this letter addressed to Mr. Roger Fluntington." The inference
is very direct that that letter must have been directed to Roger (24.3) the son
of Dr. Jonathan of Windham, there being no other grandson of Joseph of this
name.
That another copy of a part of this letter v.-as sent to Ehphalet, the author's
brother, is also quite probable ; and it is likely that that was the particular
one from which the printed copy was made. Another copy still I have seen,
addressed to Minor Huntington (6.50) though it contained but a part of the
letter as printed.
But what is most perplexing about the letter is, that it should embody so
much error, with such apparent unconsciousness. It would seem that living
so near the generations of which the letter treats, after an apparent investiga-
tion extending through a period of thirty years, the author could not have ac-
cepted so much that a later day proves utterly without foundation. And the
only solution of the difiiculty is found in the supposition that that the Dr. con-
sulted tradition only, without attempting its correction or verification by ac-
tual records.
It is also unaccountable, that such an omission as that of the Salisbury
Huntingtons, could have, at that time, been made by one so intelligent as the
author of that letter. He seems not to have been aware of the existence of
that branch of the family at all.
The examination of the Newark records would have shown him that Samu-
el was a nephew, and not a brother of the two pioneers in the settlement of
Norwich.
The circumstantial account of the death of Simon off the mouth of the Con-
necticut river, would also be inexplicable but for the recorded testimony of
the Roxbury church. The fact of liis death on the passage, even though it
were by the small pox, and on mid ocean, might very easily have been changed
throuo-h the influence of the intervenmg years and generations, into a death by
dysentery, and on the waters of Long Island Sound. And the only natural
inference would be that the body must have been buried on the banks of the
Connecticut. Thus, or in some such way, arose the tradition on which we so
long relied.

the Author in the progress of this work, he trusts the fault will be laid not to his lack
