The first mention found of Philip is his name attached to "The humble Addresse of the inhabitants and train solders of ye Province of New Hampshire (Feb. 20, 1689.) to the Honable the Gov- ernour and Council of their Majts Colony of the Matthathuset in New England," setting forth that they were destitute of power sufficient to

put themselves in a capacity of defence against the common enemy, and praying that protection may be afforded them as formerly. On 21 Feb., 1697, the town of Exeter granted to "phillip huntune thirty acres of land joining to a piece of swamp, had formerly." Another grant is found on 6 March, 1699. On 12 June, 1702, Philip deeded a portion of this land. He left Exeter about 1703 and settled in Kingston, where, in 1707, he with others deserted the town on account of danger from the Indians. The other inhabitants being much weakened thereby it was ordered: "That Mr. Secretary Story write to the Captains of Exeter and Hampton, that they forthwith direct the persons aforesaid to return to their former habitations in Kingstown for the strengthen- ing of the place against the common enemy, and in case they shall refuse to do so, the said captains are hereby ordered that when they send soldiers to her majesty's fort, William and Mary, that the above persons be the first that shall be sent there." They undoubtedly refused to return, and subsequent events proved that Philip, at least, had some cause for his fear. However, in 1708 Philip was again at home in Kingston, for he deeds the land he bought of Lieut. John Faulsom on the north division of "Pickpocket Path." July 22, 1710, while Philip and eldest son, Samuel, were ploughing not far from his house, they were surrounded by a band of Indians who fired upon them. Samuel fell mortally wounded. Philip and a neighbor were taken prisoners and suffered terrible cruelties. After long marches they reached Canada and were sold as prisoners of war to the French. They were informed if they would build a saw mill for the government and teach the French to saw lumber after the English method, they should have their freedom. They erected the mill, instructed the French and regained their freedom, although it is said the French never could make the mill run. This mill is said to have been the first for sawing lumber ever erected in Canada. Tradition says that Philip remained in Canada about two years. Philip Huntoon d. 10 May, 1752. Children:
