GENEALOGY AND BIOGRAPHY
THE HOWARD FAMILY.

He served in Gen. John Sullivan's expedition into the Indian country, (New York) during which time he kept a very accurate diary of current events. The first twenty-two pages of this diary are missing, as are an equal number after the 76th day. The diary covers a period from Aug. 12 to Sept. 13, 1777, and is in possession of his maternal grandson, E. D. Couch, of Contoocook, and a copy is among the "Historical Collections " of the Antiquarian Society, at Contoocook, Vol. 4, p. 347.

THE HOYT FAMILY.
William was a printer at Newburyport, Mass., from whence he removed to the lower village in Salisbury, now Orphans Home, Franklin, quite early. He was the first merchant in that part of the town. In 1793 we find him paying a tax of £130 on his stock in trade. He settled on the farm now owned by Benjamin S. Hancock, where he d. about 1805-6; he m. Aug. 26, 1794, Mehitable Eastman. (See.) No children blessed their union. He taught school here a number of years, both Daniel and Ezekiel Webster having been numbered among his pupils. The former gives this account of Hoyt-see Curtis's Life of Daniel Webster, page 15: "William Hoyt was for many years teacher of our country school in Salisbury. I do not call it village school, because there was at that time no vil- lage, and boys came to school in the winter, the only season in which schools were usually open, from distances of several miles, wading through the snow or running upon its crust, with their curly heads of hair often whitened with frost from their own breath. I knew William Hoyt well, and 'every truant knew.' He was an austere man but a good teacher of children. He had been a printer in Newburyport, wrote a very fine and
631
GENEALOGY AND BIOGRAPHY
excellent hand, was a good reader, and did teach boys that which so few masters can or will do, to read well themselves. Beyond this, and perhaps a very slight knowledge of grammar, his attainments did not extend. He had brought with him into the town a little property, which he took very good care of. He rather loved money."
THE HUNTOON FAMILY.
The Hunton or Huntoon families of New England are the descendants of Philip Hunton, who came to this country when a boy. Daniel T. V. Huntoon, of Canton, Mass., who is about publishing the "Genealogy of the Huntoon Family," says that the true tradition as to where he came from is, that upon the revocation of the edict of Nantes, a family bearing the name of Hunton fled from France and sought refuge in the island of Jersey, whence Philip came to America, and was employed by a man by the name of Hall, at Exeter, whose daughter Philip subsequently married. On the morning of July 22, 1710, Philip and his eldest son, Samuel, were plowing in a field, when they were surrounded and fired upon by a band of Indians. Samuel fell, mortally wounded. Philip and Jacob Gilman were taken prisoners, and suffered the most terrible indignities and cruel- ties. After their arrival in Canada they were sold to the French as prisoners. For a most authentic and complete record of this family the reader is referred to "The Huntoon Genealogy," published by Hon. Thomas D. V. Huntoon, son of the Rev. Benjamin Huntoon, a native of this town. Nathaniel Huntoon, (John, ii, Philip, i,) was born in 1721 ; married (1) May 22, 1742 ; married (2) Martha Judkins. He was a grantee of Stevenstown, (Salisbury ) but never resided here, moving to Unity as early as 1772.
I. Philip, youngest son of the Philip above mentioned, was b. about 1694, and d. in May, 1780 ; m. (1) Dec. 22, 1720, An n Eastman, who d. in 1750; m. (2) - Calliot. He

owned a right in the township of Unity, which he sold to his son Benjamin. Between 1772 and 1775 he re- moved to Salisbury, settling at South road.
(2.) Benjamin, the fifth child of Philip, (I) and a grandson of Philip first above mentioned, was b. at Kingston, Sept. 4, 1729, and d. Dec. 12, 1815 ; m. (1) Feb. 7, 1750, Judith (Sarah) Clough, of Poplin, who d. April 17, 1756; m. (2) Abigail Page; m. (3) Mercy Dearborn, who was b. Aug. 21, 1732, and d. Oct. 23, 1791 ; m. (4) Hannah James, widow of Samuel Dearborn. He served in the memorable expedition against Louisburg. In 1746 we find him doing scout duty in Capt. Daniel Ladd's com- pany, afterwards serving at various times from 1750 to 1759. In 1776 he had charge of the powder belonging to New Britain, ( Andover.) He served at Bennington, in Capt. Webster's company. In 1778 he was engaged in apprehending deserters, and in 1783, as constable of this town, he received money to defend the western frontier. In 1772 Benjamin bought of George Jaffrey, of Portsmouth, his one hundred acre lot, No. 64, third range, on which he settled and died.

(3) July 30, 1846, Ann Payson, dau. of Elijah and Fanny (Sumner) Lewis, who was b. at Rox- bury, Mass., Aug. 13, 1804. His early life was passed on his father's farm, at North road. He commenced his academical studies, preparatory to entering college, at the Academy in Salisbury, and graduated at Dartmouth in 1817. During all this time he supported himself by teaching school. He had the ninth appointment in the graduating exercises, which was a dialogue with Benja- min Woodbury, who was his college chum, on the ques- tion, "Which of the learned professions is more favora- ble to literary eminence, Divinity or Law ?" Mr. Huntoon taking the side of divinity. After leaving college he taught the academy at his native town until 1819, when he entered upon the study of divinity at Andover Theo- logical Seminary. In the spring of 1829, his health fail- ing, he went to Boston and took charge of an academy in Salem street. While carrying on this school he was invited to the ministry of the First Congregational church in Canton, Mass., and was ordained January 30, 1822, Rev. John Pierce, of Brookline, preaching the ser- mon, Rev. Henry Ware giving the right hand of fellow- ship. He soon became widely and favorably known as a most earnest worker and eloquent preacher, and prob- ably delivered more occasional discourses than almost any other minister in the neighborhood. In the latter part of the year 1829 he was invited to preach the ser-

GENEALOGY AND BIOGRAPHY
mon at the dedication of a new Unitarian church, in Ban- gor, Me., and the society there prevailed on him to resign his pastorate at Canton, and he was installed at Bangor in June, 1830. In the fall of 1833, his health failing under his numerous and onerous labors, he asked and received a dismission from that church, and spent the winter at Savannah, Ga., preaching to the Unitarian society there. In 1834 he returned to the north with reinvigorated health, and was installed over the First Congregational church, in Milton, (Rev. Dr. Morrison's ) Oct. 15, 1834. Again, on account of failing health, he was obliged to resign his charge, and passed the winter in the then far west, preaching at Peoria, and at Chicago, Ill. In the spring of 1837 he was invited to settle at Cincinnati, O., where he remained one year. In June, 1838, he went to Peoria, where he remained preaching to the First Unitarian church there until August, 1840, when he was invited by the church in Canton, where he had been first ordained, to return, and he was according- ly re-installed at Canton, March 13, 1841. In 1849 he resigned the pastorate and went to Marblehead, Mass., where he became the pastor of the Second Congrega- tional society. In 1855, his health failing, he left that place, and in May, 1856, took charge of the parish at Winchendon, Mass., where he remained until Nov. 8, 1857. In April, 1859, he was installed over the society at Westboro', but, his health continuing to fail, he was forced to relinquish his charge in February, 1860. In the fall of that year, having a desire to return to the place where he had been first ordained to the ministry, and where he had passed so many happy years, he re- turned to Canton and refitted and repaired his old house. Here he spent the declining years of his life, blessed with the love and fellowship of those who had known and re- vered him in his earlier days, a constant worshipper and an occasional preacher in the church which was erected through his exertions in the first years of his ministry.
636
HISTORY OF SALISBURY
His presence and his daily walk were a benediction and a psalm. His name was a household word in every fam- ily. The traditions of his early labors were familiar to all. Those whom he met at the sacrament of the Lord's supper -those whom he had blessed at the marriage -those whom he had baptized in infancy, whom he had watched over in the schools and counselled in their riper years-alike revered and loved him, and came weeping as mourners to his funeral. And when he died -
" He fell like autumn fruit that mellowed long, Or, like a clock worn out by eating time, The wheels of weary life at last stood still."
His death occurred on the morning of April 19, 1864, from paralysis. It does not become us to attempt an analysis of his character. At the funeral the Rev. Dr. Thompson, of Jamaica Plain, spoke of him as one pecul- iarly fitted to be a pioneer in the advance of liberal christianity. His services were sought for by the infant churches in every part of the country. There was an earnestness of personal, vital piety, an animated hopeful- ness and an enthusiasm of manner which gave great power and effect to all his pulpit labors. He was an active and zealous laborer in the cause of human broth- erhood, and recognized and zealously maintained the rights of all men, of whatever color, or creed, or condi- tion. He was the uncompromising opponent of every form of oppression, took a manly stand on all the live questions of the hour, while his voice, his pen, his purse, his house, were always at the service of those who strove to promote the public good. He was proposed for the degrees in masonry, in St. John's Lodge, Boston, in 1821, and on the third day of April the same year was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason. Upon his re- turn to Canton in 1822 he connected himself with Rising Star Lodge, also with Mt. Zion Royal Arch Chapter, at Stoughton ; was exalted March 11, 1825, and in the fol- lowing December was elected High Priest ; he held the
.
637
GENEALOGY AND BIOGRAPHY
office of Grand Chaplain for, five years. In 1842 and 1843 he served as District Deputy Grand Master of the then Fifth Masonic District. On May 4, 1842, he deliv- ered an eulogy, by special request of the Grand Lodge, upon the deaths of T. M. Harris, D. D., and Samuel Thaxter, M. D. On March 13, 1844, Winslow Lewis, M. D., having resigned the office of Corresponding Grand Secretary, Bro. Huntoon was elected to fill the vacancy and the office from 1845 to 1848 inclusive. In 1853 he was Junior Grand Warden. He was a constant attendant upon the meetings of the Grand Lodge. He was Grand High Priest of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Massa- chusetts, in 1849, 1850, and 1851, also receiving the Council degrees. For over forty years he was an enthu- siastic member of the fraternity. In the old anti-masonic times, when he preached it was a frequent occurrence for some of his hearers to go out. On one occasion, when this method of showing their hostility to masonry had been freely indulged in, and quite a number had left the sanctuary, a prominent "Jack" remarked, "I had always thought that Mr. Huntoon was a good preacher, but never knew before that he had apostolic powers." Upon being asked what he meant, he replied, "Because he has cast out many devils." It has been related upon good authority that Bro. Huntoon remarked : "Should the fanaticism of the day require me to renounce mason- ry, or give up my position as a clergyman, I should un- hesitatingly leave the ministry." The following among his discourses have been published : Masonic Address at Walpole, 1823 ; Sermon preached at South Dedham, 1825 ; Oration at the laying in masonic form the corner- stone of the court-house at Dedham, July 4, 1825 ; Ser- mon at dedication of the church at North Bridgewater, Aug. 9, 1826; Address at the installation of Mt. Zion R. A. Chapter, Stoughton, Dec. 15, 1828 ; Sermon at dedication of the Unitarian Church at Bangor, Me., 1829 Sermon at installation of Rev. Wm. Farmer, at
