Biography
Simon Huntington.
The title of Deacon became very early a familiar appendage to the name of Huntington. Out of twenty deacons of the first church, seven have been Huntington) six of whom held the office over thirty years each. In the line of Simon, the deaconship descended from father to son through four successive generations, Simon, 1st, Simon, 2d, Ebenezer, and Simon, 3d, covering a period of 120 years. Deacon Barnabas Hunting ton of Franklin was also a progenitor of deacons. Other churches in the vicinity have been prone to select their ministering servants from the same cognomen. Near the close of the last century there were six Deacon Huntingtons officiating at one period, in as many different parishes of Norwich and the neighboring towns.
Simon Huntington, the proprietor, was united to Sarah, daughter of Joseph Clarke of Saybrook, in October, 1658. They lived together fifty- three years, and she survived him fifteen, dying in 1721, at the age of 88. This was probably the ...Read MORE...

Biography
SIMON, like his brother Christopher, spent his youth, probably, with his mother in Windsor. If the Norwich records are authority, 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. 1653, 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, deacon of Mr. Fitch's church, in which office he served with acceptance, until, in consequence of his infirmities, he was...Read MORE...
