Biography
Huntington.

The Huntington pedigree offers a good illustration of the uncertainty of tradition, even when the details appear to have been carefully preserved, and the lapse of time is not more than a century. The Rev. Joseph Huntington, of Coventry, Ct., of the fourth generation from the first emigrant, collected and embodied the reminiscences that had been preserved in the family concerning their progenitor, which were in substance these :

That the ancestor of the family, Simon Huntington, was a citizen of Norwich in England, who, during the reign of Charles tho First, (about 1640,) embarked with his wife and three sons for America; that he was a Puritan, suffering from persecution, but had a brother Samuel who was captain of the king's life-guard, and high in the royal favor ; that the said Simon Huntington was nearly fifty years of age, his. wife some years younger, and their three sons, Christopher, Simon, and Samuel, in the bloom of youth; and that they made their course...Read MORE...

Biography
SIMON, for so tradition has named him, was born in England, and married, probably, Margaret Baret, of Norwich, or its immediate vicinity, 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.

With the exception of those mentioned in the Appendix of this work, he
was, undoubtedly, the ancestor of all the Huntingtons 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 country to the persecutions to which nonconformists were subjected, during the high handed administrations of Laud and the first Charles.
