  	"Huntington Family Memoir":...He and his first wife united with the first Congregational church of Norwich in 1775, and eminently honored 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 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 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 interests of society." He engaged in commercial pursuits, and in 1795 embarked in the manufacture of paper at the Falls in Norwich. He was a judge of probate in his districts, 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 reliance was not misplaced. He died April 7 1824. [1]
