  1. 1.  Simon HUNTINGTON was born on 6 Feb 1659 in Saybook, Connecticut; died on 2 Nov 1736 in Norwich, New London, Connecticut.

    Notes:

    Name:
    "Huntington Genealogy": Like his cousin Christopher, Simon was destined to a most important service in the early history of the home chosen for him by his parents. Inheriting his father's piety and gifts, he was called by the church in 1696, to succeed him in the deaconship, and in this office he served with no less than the father's fidelity and acceptance, as long as he live.

    He was, also, engaged much upon the civil affairs of the town, serving in many of its most important offices with marked ability. His house, occupying 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 contained a half barrel of powder, 31 pounds of bullets and 400 flints.

    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, no prejudicing the highways nor former grants."

    Simon married Lydia GAGER on 8 Oct 1683 in Norwich, New London Co., Connecticut. Lydia (daughter of John GAGER and ? UNKNOWN) was born on 8 Aug 1663 in Norwich, New London, Connecticut, USA; died on 8 Aug 1737 in Norwich, New London, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
