He was educated in the public schools of Weston, completing the course at the Weston high school, and at Bryant and Stratton's Commercial College in Boston, in 1885. On graduating he became clerk in his father's store in Weston, and soon after ob- tained a position in the printing establishment of Rand & Avery, of Boston, at the time Thomas W. Lawson was vice-president and general manager of the corporation. In 1888 he opened a general country store on North avenue, at Kendal Green, in the town of Wes- ton, and in 1890 he formed a partnership with his father and they operated two stores, one in Weston and one at Kendal Green. He was appointed postmaster at Kendal Green in 1889. In 1900 he was elected selectman of the town of Weston, and continues in that office. In 1907 he was elected to represent the town in the general court of Massachusetts, serving as a member of the committee on towns. He

May Child Livermore was born in Weston, May 26, 1869; was graduated at the Weston high school and at Bryant and Strat- ton's Commercial School, and the ceremony of her marriage with Mr. Cutting was performed by Rev. Amos Harris, at Everett, Massachu- setts, and they made their home on School street, Weston, Massachusetts.
This distinguished family HUNTINGTON dates its origin in Amer- ica from the days of the
Puritans.
(I) In 1633 Simon Huntington, his wife, Margaret, whose maiden name was Barrett, and their three sons and one daughter left their home in England to cast their lot with the colonists in America. During the passage over, Simon died of smallpox and was buried at sea. His widow, who was a native of Nor- wich, England, and daughter of Peter Bar- rett, mayor of said city, arrived in New Eng- land, with her children, and settled first in Roxbury, Massachusetts, where she married (second), 1635-36, Thomas Stoughton, of Dorchester, Massachusetts. They removed to Windsor, Connecticut, and settled there. Her four children by her first husband were : I. Thomas, settled in Connecticut. 2. Chris- topher, married Ruth Rockwell, (see Rock- well family of Leominster). 3. Simon, see forward. 4. Ann, mentioned in a letter print- ed in the genealogy, written by Peter Barrett, to his sister Margaret (Barrett) Huntington. Her three sons (mentioned above) by her first husband, settled in Connecticut and reared families. Their descendants are quite numerous and among them were several dis- tinguished clergymen, including the late Dan. Huntington, D. D., bishop of the Central Pro- testant Episcopal diocese of New York. Gen- eral U. S. Grant was a descendant on the ma- ternal side of one of these Connecticut Hun-

tingtons, and the late Corliss P. Huntington, the noted financier and railroad magnate, was also descended from the same source. Sam- uel A. Huntington, of Malden, Massachusetts, a brief outline of whose genealogy is now in hand is a lineal descendant in the ninth gen- eration of Simon Huntington.
(II) Deacon Simon Huntington, Jr., son of Simon Huntington (I), was born in Eng- land in 1629, and came to America on the ill- fated voyage with his mother in 1633. He settled in Norwich and was a member of Mr. Fitch's church there. He was deacon of the church until 1696 when his son succeeded him. He was a member of the general assembly in 1674, had a grant of land in 1686, was towns- man in 1690 and 1696. In 1694 he was on a committee to search out and report the de- ficiencies in the public records. He served on the committee to seat the meeting house in 1697, a delicate and difficult service as the rel- ative rank of all church members was fixed thus. The early settlers were not at all demo- cratic in their ideas. In 1700 he was on a committee to give deeds and fix titles of land in dispute or with defective title. He married, in October, 1653, Sarah Clark (in Saybrook), daughter of Joseph Clark, of Windsor, Con- necticut. She died in 1721, aged eighty-eight years.

He was appointed on a committee to choose a site for the new meeting house at Norwich, and though the site selected by the committee was not adopted then by the town, later the church was built there, and the committee's good judgment shown by the subsequent course of events. He was lieutenant of the military company. He became well-to-do, owning large tracts of
land. He moved to Lebanon, in 1700, and died there May 10, 1717. He married, Octo- ber 29, 1686, Mary Clark, of Weathersfield, Connecticut. She died October 6, 1743. Their children were: I.

(V) Caleb Huntington, son of Caleb (4) and Lydia (Griswold) Huntington, was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, December 9, 1721. He removed to Ashford, Connecticut, prob- ably after 1758. He married, February 6, 1747, Zerviah Case. Their children were: I. Zebulon, born at Lebanon, December 9, 1747, died April, 1748. 2. Ezra, see forward. 3. Bathsheba, born December 12, 1750. 4.

(VI) Ezra Huntington, son of Caleb (5) and Zerviah (Case) Huntington, was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, March 24, 1749. In the political agitation which preceeded the declaration of independence some of the Hun- tingtons remained loyal to the crown, and when they saw that separation from the moth- er country was inevitable and the Whigs pre- vailed everywhere, they with others joined the exodus to Nova Scotia. Among the latter was Ezra Huntington and his brother Caleb. Caleb settled in Cape Breton and Ezra in Cornwallis, Kings county, and he resided there for the remainder of his life which terminated in 1827. He married Hannah Fitch. She was probably the Hannah Fitch who was born in Coventry, Connecticut, June 12, 1735, daugh- ter of Lieutenant Jeremiah and Mary (Por-

He followed farming the remainder of his active life. He was prominently identified with the provincial militia and rose to the rank of colonel.

(IX) Samuel Arthur Huntington, son of Colonel Daniel Dixon (8) and Eliza (Miller) Huntington, was born in Cornwallis, Kings county, Nova Scotia, August 13, 1849. His early education was acquired in the public schools of his native town and in Malden, Massachusetts. In 1869-70 he served an ap- prenticeship at the granite cutters' trade. He was subsequently employed for about seven years on the New York, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Philadelphia postoffices, which were all cut on the islands of Penobscot Bay, Maine. Relinquishing his trade he returned to Mal- den, Massachusetts, where he has acquired important business interests, and for nearly thirty years has been connected with the Bos- ton Rubber Shoe Company. The latter with his other business ventures, occupies much of his time, and most of his investments have proved successful. Mr. Huntington is one of the most prominent spiritualists in Malden and has devoted much time to the investiga- tion of that phenomena, being recognized in his locality as one of the most profound think- ers in the field of psychic research. At the present time he is serving as corresponding secretary and historian of the "Malden Pro- gressive Spiritual Society," Inc., making weekly reports for the Progressive Thinker, published in Chicago, and monthly reports for The Herald of Truth, published in Boston, and

it may be truthfully said that his effort in seeking to demonstrate the actual truth con- cerning spiritual existence, is characteristic of his family, many of whom have been noted for their profundity of thought, especially up- on subjects relating to religion. Politically Mr. Huntington is a Republican in national issues, but in local affairs he acts independent- ly. He is a member of the Masonic Order, and also of the Universalist Men's Club of Malden.
In 1873, August 27, he was united in mar- riage with Lizzie J. McDonnell, daughter of John McDonnell, of Malden. They have no children.
Honored by his craft: In 1877 he was elected secretary of the Hurricane Island branch of the Granite Cutters' International Union ; in 1878 he was elected president of the Dix Island branch of said Union, and in the latter year he was elected a member of the Granite Cutters' International Union Con- gress, held in Boston in February, and the Congress elected him assistant secretary and in said office he had to make a full record of the doings of the Congress, while from his records the secretary made a daily report for the Granite Cutters' International Union Jour- mal, published at that time in Rockland, Maine. In 1874 he was sent on a mission throughout New England to "learn the industrial condi- tion, wages," etc., of his craft, making a full report on his return. In 1878 Mr. Huntington entered the Maine campaign in favor of T. H. Murch, of Rockland, for Congress, Fifth Maine district, who defeated the Hon. Eu- gene Hale. Mr. Huntington is a great admir- er of the great war president, Abraham Lin- coln, and the able member of his cabinet, Salmon P. Chase, who was the father of the Greenback currency, feeling that a currency that was good and strong enough to carry this nation through the worst crisis in its history was and is good enough in times of peace. He believes half of the circulating medium could be created in this way, exchanging the same for gold when desired by the holder. Hence his support of Mr. Murch, who was elected on the Greenback Democratic ticket. He does not believe the borrower should re- ceive interest on the security he gives for the capital he desires to do business on. He is a strong temperance man, believing alcohol should be guarded as strongly as opium. He is also very strong in his convictions on the public school question, believing that no text books should be allowed in any school except
those authorized by the government. He would have a national council composed of two citizens, elected by 'the people from each state, who should sit in Washington at least once in every decade to revise and compile all text books used in any school, and all peo- ple who could not willingly accept those con- ditions should be invited to live under some other flag. In this way a canker would not be eating away the strongest pillar of the Re- public.
Two immigrants of the THURSTON same name, Daniel Thurs- ton, came to Newbury, Massachusetts, before 1638, uncle and ne- phew. A house lot was granted in that town, November 24, 1638, to Daniel Thurston, on the Neck over the great river, consisting of four acres adjoining lot of John Osgood.
