In connection with the name of Huntington found in " The Old Pine Cem- etery " of Lebanon, N. II., the compiler abstracted the statements of the genealogist of the name as to William the emigrant ancestor of Jeremiah Huntington who died in that town June 18, 1794. A reference to that immigrant was already in type describing him as the first of the name to land in New England when the compiler of the genealogy obtained deti- nite information as to his father, which confirmed the tradition that he had died at sea ; and determined that when his widowed mother landed at Bos- ton she had with her not only her son William, but his brothers Thomas, Christopher and Simon. The widow about 1635 married Thomas Stough- ton of Dorchester (a part of Boston since 1870), Mass., who with his family removed to Windsor [Hartford Co.], Conn., where he died March 25, 1661.
Lois (Huntington) Martin was a descendant of the last named son, the line being

James8 Huntington (James,2 Simon1), born Norwich, Conn., Feb. 2, 1707 ; died May 12, 1785 ; married Dee. 3, 1735, Elizabeth Darby, who died Jan. 12, 1790. They lived in that part of Norwich called the Great Plain. 11 children, 5 sons ; the eldest child was

A soldier of the Revolution. He lived for a few years in Lebanon [New London Co.], Conn., and then re- moved to Vermont. 11 children, 4 sons ; the 4th daughter, 8th child, was
Fanny5 Huntington ( William, 4 James,3 2 Simon1), born Norwich, Conn., Nov. 14, 1777 ; died 1823 ; married Nathan Bicknell, and lived in Brighton, Vt., and Lebanon [Grafton Co.], N. H. The 5th daughter, 9th child, was

The compiler of the genealogy of a Pennsylvania family of this name says that " The name McAllister has assumed many changes in spelling since the formation of the new clan by Allaster MacDonald in 1263." But, however, that part of the surname which follows Mac (which indicates cates son of ) is varied in its spelling by common use, in all cases where Eng- lish or Scotch authors of authority use it, the latter part is written begin- ing with an A. The compiler examined the 50 volumes of the New Eng- land Historical and Genealogical Register ; the publications of a half cen- tury from the year 1847. Its indexes disclosed the name 34 times, in 3 cases only did the latter part of the surname begin with a C. In that branch of the family whose name is chiseled on the cemetery monument, a tradition exists to the effect that the surname of Michael the great grand- father of its present head, was Archer ; that he was born in Scotland, that his marriage displeasing his father he was disinherited, that coming to America he landed in Canada and settled in Columbia, Coos Co., N. H., and later in Piermont, Grafton Co., N. H., and still later in Vermont, dy- ing there, near Piermont, which is one of the towns bordering on the Con- necticut, the boundary between the two states ; that he assumed his mother's maiden name, and that he and his descendants ever after have written it McCollister. This tradition may be fairly offset by the statements which follow. Canada was a French possession for more than a hundred years before it passed under the government of the English. War existed for the possession of Canada from 1752 to 1763, between England and her colonies and France and the Indians. Northern New Hampshire was not settled until that war was over. Michael McAllaster or McCollister, could not have settled in either province before the last named date. There is an indication that the name was in the vicinity of Plainfield, N. H., soon after the conquest of Canada. Jerusha, daughter of Nathaniel Spofford, was born Rowley, Essex Co., Mass., May 17, 1742. She died Newport [Sul- livan Co.], N. H., Nov. 26, 1812. Newport is about ten miles from Plain- field. the town of Croyden lying between the other two Sullivan Co. towns. In 1765 she married William MeAllaster, who settled in Wiscasset, Maine, removing in 1779 to Bedford [Hillsboro Co.], N. H., where he died Feb. 17, 1787. They had nine children. Widowed at 45 years of age, with her young children she probably returned to her own people to bring up her sons and daughters ; and in this vicinity it is likely she was married.
And in this connection it may properly be shown that the name was in the English colonies as early as the middle of the 17th century. The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (Vol. I, page 378) is author- ity for the statement that among the passengers in the ship Jolin & Sara bound from London to Boston in Nov. 1651, were "John Mackalaster, Allester Macknester, Daniel Mackalester and Sander Mackdonell."
The compiler of the genealogy of the Pennsylvania branch gives what must be the true origin of the name. "MacAllister :- that is son of Al- ister, a branch of the famous and warlike clan MeDonald whose chief was Lord of the Isles. [The Hebrides, or Western Islands, northwest of Seot- land about 25 miles from the main land.] This clan were always Stuart men-and loyal to their King until the final overthrow in 1745. * * Allaster MacDonald, the progenitor of the MacAllasters, flourished about 1263, and became chief of a new clan. * * * His son Allaster, Mac- Allaster * * * became the chief and headed and led a powerful clan that flourished from that time until the downfall of 'Prince Charles ' in 1745."
50
The remoteness of the date given as that of the founding of the new clan would seem to imply absence of records. But coat armor came into use before the offshoot of the MacAllaster branch, and Burke is authority for the statement that a " Roll of Arms" made between the years 1240 and 1245 has come down to our times. Both clans claim the title " Lord of the Isles," and Burke in his General Armory, declaring that the name is " derived from Alexander, eldest son of Angus Mor of the Isles," gives for the shield of the head of that clan " charges " strikingly like those he also gives to the MacDonald " Ancient Lord of the Isles " and to six of a list of Armigers of that most ancient name, all of whose shields indicate a common ancestor, he gives the same motto, " Per mare per terras " (by sea and land), as he gives to the family of MacAllister.
Beginning with the earliest known ancestor of the Plainfield-Lebanon branch the record of some of his descendants follow.
