1. 3. 3. 4. 1. 2. ANDREW HUNTINGTON, born June 21-2, 1745, in Norwich, Conn.; married,first, November 26, 1766, Lucy, daughter of Dr. Joseph and Lydia (Lathrop)Coit, of New London, who was born July 2, 1746, and died May 9, 1776. Ofher, his brother Jedidiah, in a letter dated Camp at New York, May 21, 1776,thus speaks: "The death of our sister Lucy, has made one more breach inour late happy family, though it ought to check our grief, that she left suchgood evidences of her interest in a better world." He married for his secondwife, May 1, 1777, Hannah Phelps, of Stonington, who was born December16, 1760. He and his first wife united with the first Congregational church ofNorwich in 1775, and eminently honored their Christian profession. His secondwife, who lived until July 30, 1838, was a noble woman in all personaland social qualities. Mrs. Sigourney says of her, "she possessed an eleganceof form and address, which would have been conspicuous at any foreign court.She was especially fascinating to the children who visited her, by her liberalpresentations of cake and other pleasant eatables, or, what was to some equallyalluring, a readiness to lend fine books with pictures." Of Mr. Huntington the same authority says: "he was a man of plain mannersand incorruptible integrity. His few words were always those of goodsense and truth, and the weight of his influence given to the best interests ofsociety." He was engaged in commercial pursuits, and in 1795 embarked inthe manufacture of paper at the Falls in Norwich. He was Clerk of ProbateCourt from 1786 to 1789, and Judge of Probate from 1790 to 1816. Duringthe War of the Revolution he was a commissary of brigade, and was untiring inhis exertions to secure prompt supplies for the army. Upon his services, Gov.Trumbull put great reliance, and it is on record that such reliance was not misplaced. He died April 7, 1824.
