Misc http:/dgmweb.net/genealogy/7/Nroots/Genealogies/Huntington.htm One of the 35 original proprietors of Norwich, who came from England to Roxbury in 1633 -- source Genealogy of the family of Lt. Thomas Tracy, of Norwich, Connecticut : compiled from the genealogical works of the Hydes and Tracys by Chancellor Reuben H. Walworth and other reliable sources Milwaukee: D.S. Harkness & Co., printers, 1889, 142 pgs.-- CHRISTOPHER HUNTINGTON, probably accompanied his mother to Windsor, Conn., where he must have spent his youth. He here married, October 7, 1652, Ruth, daughter of Wm. Rockwell, "a prominent 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 Yantie, and with his brother Simon, aided in laying the foundations of the new town of Norwich… In 1668 the general court granted him 100 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 committee "to make provision for maintaining the reverend minister." His death had occurred in 1691, as appears from the probate of his will. No stone marks the resting place of this pioneer… Probably buried in the old graveyard near Bean Hill. From Norwich, CT Historical Society 1659 -- "First townsman. One of the most useful of the pioneers. Died 1691. Home-lot on Washington Street corner of East Town Street." "Christopher Huntington, b. in 1624 in Norwich, England, d. in 1691 in Norwich, CT.; m. Ruth Rockwell, daughter of William and Susannah (Capen) Rockwell. He moved from Roxbury to Windsor, then to Saybrook, and, in 1659/60, to Norwich, Ct. where he was one of the first officers of the settlement. He was selectman for the east side and Hugh Calkins was selectman for the west side. He was the first town clerk and recorder, an office that he held all of his life and which was handed down to his son and his grandson, Isaac, who held it for 60 years, and subsequently to direct descendants for 150 years in all, until the records went to the Chelsea subdivision of Norwich! Christopher and Ruth Huntington had 9 children…" Source: Oliver, Rebekah Deal, The Bottum (Longbottom) family album : an historical and biographical genealogy of the descendants of Daniel ( -1732) and Elizabeth (Lamb) Longbottom of Norwich, Connecticut, Page 275-276 The death of the first Christopher and the births of all but the first two of this family are on the Norwich records. |
