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. Josephand Lydia (Lathrop)Coit, of New London, who was born July 2, 1746, anddied May 9, 1776. Ofher, his brother Jedidiah, in a letter dated Camp atNew York, May 21, 1776,thus speaks: "The death of our sister Lucy, hasmade one more breach inour late happy family, though it ought to checkour grief, that she left suchgood evidences of her interest in a betterworld." He married for his secondwife, May 1, 1777, Hannah Phelps, ofStonington, who was born December16, 1760. He and his first wife unitedwith the first Congregational church ofNorwich in 1775, and eminentlyhonored their Christian profession. His secondwife, who lived until July30, 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 wasespecially fascinating to the children who visited her, by herliberalpresentations of cake and other pleasant eatables, or, what wasto some equallyalluring, a readiness to lend fine books with pictures."Of Mr. Huntington the same authority says: "he was a man of plainmannersand incorruptible integrity. His few words were always those ofgoodsense and truth, and the weight of his influence given to the bestinterests ofsociety." He was engaged in commercial pursuits, and in 1795embarked inthe manufacture of paper at the Falls in Norwich. He wasClerk of ProbateCourt from 1786 to 1789, and Judge of Probate from 1790to 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 recordthat such reliance was not misplaced. He died April 7, 1824.
