Huntley, John 1
John 1 HUNTLEY (1623 - 1676) and Jane (? - bef. 1669)
my 8g-grandparents
John 1 HUNTLEY, my 8g-grandfather, was born about 1623 in the British Isles, and immigrated to America, appearing first in Barbados, then in Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, in July, 1647. His parents are unknown, and his birth date is estimated as 1622-6 by [VWH], but this is based on the fact that he was an adult in 1647. By 1661 he settled in Lyme, CT, where he died in 1676.
John Huntley (1623-76), from Eng. to the Barbados, 1648; resident of Boston, 1652; removed to Roxbury, 1659; an early settler of Lyme, Conn., 1661 [CAG, p. 257]
The next 4 or 5 generations of HUNTLEYs lived in Lyme. There are probably more than a million descendants of John 1 HUNTLEY living today, and many of them are still in or near Lyme. The same is true of my other 8g-grandfathers, Henry CHAMPION and Balthasar DE WOLF. When I visit Lyme, I will be surrounded by thousands of distant cousins!
Family tradition among the Connecticut HUNTLEYs says repeatedly that they are descended from the Earls of HUNTLY of the GORDON clan, and that 2 or 3 brothers came to America from Scotland. One account says they were from Paisley. Another says they were sons of General HUNTLY, who "left Scotland and went into Wales at the time Mary, Queen of Scots was beheaded." [IHH, p. 6]
Early Huntleys
From the Records of the Principal Probate Registry, London, England and the Public Records Office, London, England,-
l6l3. Sir George, John and Francis, sons of George Gordon, the first Marquis of Huntly, their father being imprisoned for treason in Dundee Castle (where he died in 1636) his sons were forced to flee to England where they set up a company and were rewarded a contract by the Virginia Company to supply servants to the Virginia Planters and operate sailing vessels to the new colony.
June 20, 1620. Sir George and his brothers decided to become members and tennants of the Virginia Company. Sir George and John later returned to Scotland and became the Earl of Menzie and Viscount of Aboyne. Francis remained and died in Virginia,
1623. A Captain Huntley and John Huntley joined the first Virginia Company Nov. 4, 1623 in London and were transported to the new Colony.
1643. Oliver Huntley son of William Huntley of Chapham, Surrey and Hunpfrey Huntley arrived in Virginia about 1643.
[IHH, p. 4]
The brothers George, John and Francis seem to match up with the family tradition. I have not yet connected John 1 HUNTLEY with any of the 3 brothers. However, this makes it seem likely that John 1 did not come directly from England, but perhaps was born in Virginia or Barbados.
Notation
I am using the numbering system from [VWH]. The immigrant John HUNTLEY is called John 1. This makes sense because his parents and siblings are not known. His sons are Moses 2 and Aaron 3. The descendants of Moses 2 and Aaron 3 are numbered separately, so for example, there could be two Benjamin 87s. To make life even more interesting, [IHH] uses another numbering system. I resist the temptation to make up one of my own!
For context, recall that the first European settlement in New England was at Plymouth, in 1620. By 1630, there were almost 1,800 European settlers in New England, and the population increased by about 1,000 per year between 1630 and 1660. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was the largest, with over 20,000 people in 1660, about the time that John 1 HUNTLEY left for Connecticut.
Boston Area Colonial Map [source] Roxbury is in the lower left.
John 1 HUNTLEY appeared in Boston, as a witness in a legal document in 12 July, 1647.
The next year there is an account dated 1 May, 1648 between John PEASE and John HUNTLEY, about a load of dried fish which HUNTLEY had shipped to the Barbados in the ship “Welcome”, with John ALLEN, Master. We can only speculate as to whether shipping dried fish to Barbados was something that John 1 HUNTLEY did regularly, but the account does refer to him as a merchant. I don't know whether John HUNTLEY and John PEASE were business partners, or if the transaction was between them. According to church records, there was a burial of John PEASE in St Michael Parish, Barbados, on 04 Jun 1714.
There was a William HUNTLEY, possibly related, an inhabitant of St. Philip’s Parish, Barbados, who died in St. Philip’s Parish, and was buried there 1 August, 1679. He was the owner of 5 acres of land and 2 slaves.
About 1649, a Sarah HUNTLEY, along with “divers women of Boston”, signed a petition. This Sarah is probably John HUNTLEY’s first wife.
From a deposition of John PEASE, aged 65 years, dated Boston 1 July, 1679:
“29 or 30 years ago, Mr. Hanniford, Mariner, lived in Boston in the house next adjoining the house and grounds of Hope Allison, standing on land on which William Griggs lately built an house and this house and land was accounted to be Hanniford’s own property and John Huntley lived on and thereof and paid the said Hanniford rent for the same and said Huntley’s wife died there of small-pox. They were Mr. Hanniford’s tenants.”
This indicates that about 1649-50, John 1 HUNTLEY's wife died of small-pox, at Mr. HANNIFORD's house in Boston. There are no known children from this marriage.
About 1650 a deposition by Richard SMITH mentions “Jno Huntley being at the Iron Works” in Salem, Mass. [Ipswich Quarterly Court Records]
John 1 HUNTLEY married his 2nd wife, Jane, about 1651. They had 2 sons in Boston: Moses 2, b. 1 July, 1652; and Aaron 3, b. 15 April, 1654.
In 1657, John 1 HUNTLEY's wife was admitted as a member at the First Church of Roxbury, a Congregational Church in Roxbury, MA, where presumably John was already a member, and their 3 children were baptized. This church is only 2 miles southwest of downtown Boston, in an area that is now part of Boston.
John 1 and Jane HUNTLEY had 2 daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, who were baptized in Roxbury, on 27 Oct 1657 and 3 Dec 1660, respectively, so they were born before those dates.
On 27 Feb 1659, John 1 HUNTLEY, cooper, and John CHANDLER, both of Roxbury, deed to Philip CURTIS for £23 worth of cattle, the house and shop of John 1 HUNTLEY with an orchard of 1 acre in Roxbury and also four acres of pasture land of John CHANDLER. [Suffolk Co., Mass. 3:334]
So in 1648 John 1 HUNTLEY shipped a boatload of fish from Boston to Barbados, about 1650 he was at the Iron Works in Salem, and in 1659 he was a cooper in Roxbury, and sold his house and shop.
John 1 HUNTLEY was listed as a creditor in the the Estate of William PEACOCK of Roxbury, MA. John 1 HUNTLEY, Philip CURTIS and William PEACOCK had been in partnership, and an amicable settlement had been signed by the partners on 29 Jan 1660/1.
Between 1659 and 1661, John 1 HUNTLEY and family moved to East Saybrook, on the east bank of the Connecticut River, where it empties into Long Island Sound. This was part of Saybrook, a colony established in 1635, which had merged with Connecticut Colony in 1844. The settlement of East Saybrook had grown, and desired to become a new “plantation.” On 13 Feb 1665 there was a mutual agreement between Saybrook and the inhabitants of the new town, called “The Loving Parting”. The Connecticut General Court named the “new plantation” Lyme, on 9 May 1667.
Early settlements near Lyme. From [J&D]
The Town of Lyme was charging £100 per family, for land and membership in the community. About 35 individuals purchased shares, but a few then sold out to the others, so that about 30 families, including the HUNTLEY family, are considered the “first settlers” of Lyme.
John Huntley was of Lyme, Conn, by 1661 and was there in 1667 when the town was incorporated. Old Lyme, first known as East Saybrook, was settled and set off in 1664, It was named for Lyme Regis, Eng. The DeWolfes, Lords and Huntleys were among the first settlers. [IHH, p. 9]
John HUNTLEY had land on Duck River in 1665
Lyme Records, Vol, 1, p.30; July 10, 1665 John Huntley one the midell of Wolfe Orland, tow ackers of medow, bounded every way with water. He hath also laid out to him a home lott contining forty three ackers and halfe of upland, bounded west on the highwaye; north Balishazzer DeWolfe's land, south upon William Wallers land; east upon the Commons. Leying both sides of Duck River with one dwelling house. Also three ackers and halfe of medow leying at the head of Duck River, bounded one the medow of Mr Measuer North one the swamp of Baltishaser De Wolfe and west with his own land,"
Attested by Matthew Griswold.
Reynold Marvin.
[IHH, pp. 10-11]
John HUNTLEY's early land holdings included a parcel of 71 acres and another of 43 acres, in the area of Duck River, both bounded on the west by the Highway, i.e., Lyme Street.
John HUNTLEY's lands
The cost of becoming a settler in Lyme apparently was £100 per family, the whole township being an estate of some £3,500. Perhaps 35 individuals purchased a share of the new plantation but a few sold out to others so that only 30 families can be considered the “first settlers” of Lyme.
Of these 30, John Huntley shared in the first division of land thusly: John Huntley hath laid out for his portion of land granted by the Town (Saybrook) on the east side of Saybrook (Lyme) for an hundred pound estate from—71 acres for his lott and twenty acres for his calf pasture land. The meadow within it is bounded South by the land of William Measurer; on the North by the commons, on the West by the highway and on the east by the commons. [Lyme Town Record Book—12 July, 1665] The following records show where John’s property was laid out using the quaint language and spelling of the original as found in Lyme, Conn. [1:30] and recorded 20 July, 1674: John Huntley hath layed out to him on the middle of calfe oyland tow ackers of medow more or less bounded every way with the watter.
He hath also layed out to him a home lott containing forty-three ackers of upland more or less bounded West upon the highway, North on Baltishaser DeWolfs land, South upon Mr. Mesuers land, East upon the comons laying one both sids of Ducke River with one dwelling house.
Also three ackers and a halfe of medow at the head of Ducke River bounded on the medow of Mr. Mesuer, North on the swamp of Baltishaser DeWolf, East and West with his one land; attested by Mathew Griswold and Renald Marvine.
[VWH]
John 1 HUNTLEY's 2nd wife, Jane, must have died before 1669, because he married his 3rd wife, Mary, in New London, 3 Jun 1669.
Two Conflicting Theories About Mary
He married a second wife Jane about 1650-1. Last name unknown, but she might have been Jane Curtis, as many descendants in first generations were named Curtis, but no other proof. He married third Mary Barnes June 1669 (Diary of Thomas Miner of Stonington) the daughter of William and Sarah (Weltshire) Barnes. Sarah Weltshire divorced William Barnes and married second John Tinker who adopted her daughter Mary, John Tinker was appointed acting Governor in 1659 when Governor Wintrop of Connecticut had to go to England.
[IHH, p. 11]
Sometime before 1669, Jane, 2nd wife of John Huntley died and Commissioner Thomas Miner of Stonington penned in his Diary: “The fouerth moneth is June and hath 30 day. tusday the first day the Court (at New London) began, that court I maried huntley and marie barons—1669”. New London, Conn. County Court Records [2:36] affirm this marriage.
Contrary to previously printed assumptions, Marie Barons or Mary Barnes was not the daughter of John Barnes or more correctly, William Barnes of Gloucester, Mass.
Instead she is apparently Mary Hand, daughter of John Hand of Long Island, who, in the same New London Court, had received just a month previously a divorce from her husband, Charles Barnes, the first school teacher in East Hampton, L. I., who evidently had deserted his wife and children and returned to England.
Very shortly thereafter John Huntley and his wife, Mary, were convicted of fornication before marriage and while she was married to her former husband and were assessed a fine of £10. [New London County Court Records 2:44] The late Donald Lines Jacobus of New Haven, Conn., an eminent genealogist states that this was a very heavy fine for the time and place. [The American Genealogist 35:16]
[VWH, p. 3]
John 1 HUNTLEY and his 3rd wife, Mary, had 2 children in Lyme: Sarah, born late in 1669 or early 1670, and Alice, born about 1673. This added to the 4 children John had from his first wife, and the unknown number of children Mary had from her 1st marriage.
New London was a small town, east of Lyme, not to be confused with New London County. John 1 HUNTLEY's property in Lyme was near the boundary between the two towns. He took part in the New London-Lyme Riot of 12 March 1671/2, a border dispute in which citizens from the two towns fought with sticks and staves.
In 1671, 1672 and 1673, at public town-meetings “Goodman” HUNTLEY was chosen one of the surveyors, and he was chosen Townsman, or Selectman, on 9 Feb 1674.
John HUNTLEY's Land
From Lyme, CT records:
12 July 1665: John Huntley hath laid out for his portion of land granted by the Town (Saybrook) on the east side of Saybrook (Lyme) for an hundred pound estate from—71 acres for his lott and twenty acres for his calf pasture land. The meadow within it is bounded South by the land of William Measurer; on the North by the commons, on the West by the highway and on the east by the commons.
20 Jul 1674: John Huntley hath layed out to him on the middle of calfe oyland tow ackers of medow more or less bounded every way with the watter.
He hath also layed out to him a home lott containing forty-three ackers of upland more or less bounded West upon the highway, North on Baltishaser DeWolfs land, South upon Mr. Mesuers land, East upon the comons laying one both sids of Ducke River with one dwelling house.
Also three ackers and a halfe of medow at the head of Ducke River bounded on the medow of Mr. Mesuer, North on the swamp of Baltishaser DeWolf, East and West with his one land; attested by Mathew Griswold and Renald Marvine.
14 March 1676/7: Laid out to the estate of John Huntly one both sides foure mile river twenty acres of upland and medow be it more or less @ is bounded West with the commons, South with the land set out for Henory Benet, East with the commons, North with the lands of John Larebe—east and west 55 rods, north and south 49 rods: the aforsd twenty acres being in the second division—attested by us: Mathew Griswold th 26 Febb. 1676/7 Thomas Lee

Lyme Street, a.k.a. The Highway, runs parallel to Lieutenant River. For scale, this 1893 map covers about 8 miles in width and 6.5 miles in height. [click to enlarge][source]
John 1 HUNTLEY died on 16 Nov 1676, in Lyme. In his will, he left most of his estate to his wife and 2nd son, Aaron 3. There was also money left to his children, Moses 2, Mary, Sarah and Alice. Curiously, there was no mention of his daughter, Elizabeth.
In the inventory of his estate, his children were mentioned: "John Huntly children are two sons and foure daughters: Mosis aged 24 years: Aaron aged 22 years: Elizabeth aged aboute 19 years: Marah aged about 16 years: Sarah aged about 7 years: Alice aged about 3 years Attested the 18th December 1676" So Elizabeth is back.
The widow Mary HUNTLEY died prior to 5 Jul 1687, since her children received their part of the estate of John 1 HUNTLEY which was to be hers during her lifetime.
The sections below will cover the children of John 1 HUNTLEY.
1. Moses 2 HUNTLEY, son of John 1 HUNTLEY and his 2nd wife, Jane, was born on 1 Jul 1652 in Boston, and was baptized at First Church in Roxbury, MA, on 27 Oct 1657. He moved with his parents in 1660 or 1661 to Lyme, CT, and was still living in Lyme in 1728, at age 75 or 76.
Moses 2 was among the 180 men from Connecticut who served in King Philips War against the Indians, and was among those who later drew Cedar Swamp lots as a reward for service. He received Lot No. 119.
Moses 2 HUNTLEY married on 18 Jan 1680 in Lyme, to Abigail/Abagail CHAPPELL, born 1 Sep 1644 in Wethersfield, CT. Abagail was the daughter of George CHAPPELL, who was born in England about 1604-5, and his wife Margery [IHH, p. 15], or Christian [VWH, p. 8]. Abagail was more than 7 years older than Moses, and had 7 children from her previous marriage, to John COMSTOCK, who died in 1680. (This is strange since Abagail married Moses on 18 Jan 1680.)
Children of John and Abagail (step-children of Moses 2):
i. Abagail COMSTOCK, b. 12 Apr 1663, m. William PIKE.
ii. Elizabeth COMSTOCK, b. 9 Jun 1665, m. Joseph MINER,
iii. William COMSTOCK, b. 9 Jun 1669, d. 15 Mar 1728, m. Naomi NILES, who m. (2) Consider TIFFANY.
iv. Christian COMSTOCK, b. 12 Dec 1671.
v. Hannah COMSTOCK, b. 22 Feb 1673, m. Robert MENTOR.
vi. John COMSTOCK, b. 31 Sept 1676 (strange because September has no 31), m. Mary LEE.
vii. Samuel COMSTOCK, b. 6 Jul 1678, m. Martha PRATT.
Naomi TIFFANY, b. 28 Dec 1737, daughter of Consider and Naomi TIFFANY, married in 1759 to Ezekiel 24 HUNTLEY, son of David and Mary (MUNSELL) HUNTLEY.
COMSTOCK family
Daniel Comstock, died 1683.
William Comstock the father of Daniel, came from Hartford in 1649 and lived to old age in his house upon Post Hill; (near north corner of Williams and Vauxhall Streets.) His wife Elizabeth was aged fifty-five in 1663. No record has been found of the death of either. His land was inherited by his son Daniel, of New London, and grandson William, of Lyme. The latter was a son of John Comstock deceased—and his mother Abigail in 1680, was the wife of Moses Huntley, of Lyme. It is probable that Daniel and John were the only children of William Comstock, sen., and his wife Elizabeth. John is the ancestor o£ the Lyme family of Comstocks, and Daniel of those of the North Parish or Montville. The latter as appears from statements of his age, was born about 1630. His wife, whose name was Paltiah, was a daughter or step-daughter of John Elderkin. They had a son Daniel and eight daughters, whose births are not recorded; but they were all baptized by Mr. Bradstreet in April and November, 1671 After this two other sons were baptized; Kingsland in 1673, and Samuel in 1677.

Several John LEWISes
John Lewis, died December 8th, 1676.
The name John Lewis, is found several times repeated among the early emigrants to New England. One came over in the Hercules, from Sandwich, in 1635, with wife, Sarah, and one child; and was enrolled as from Tenterden, in Kent.1 This is probably the same that appears on the list of freemen in Scituate, Mass., 1637.2 He afterward disappears from the records of that town, and we suppose him to be the John Lewis, who came to New London, 1648.
1 Savage. Gleanings in Mass. Hist. Coll., 3d series, vol. 8, p. 275.
2 Deane's Hist. Scituate, p. 304.
Another John Lewis, who was probably an original emigrant, settled in Saybrook or Lyme; his inventory was presented at the county court, in 1670.
Still another John Lewis was living at "Sqummacutt," (Westerly) in 1673.
John Lewis, of New London, had a son John, who was a young man in 1670, constable in 1681, and after 1700, sergeant of the train-bands. He married Elizabeth Huntley, of Lyme, where his oldest son, John 3d, settled. Sergeant John Lewis was himself instantly killed, as he sat on horseback, by the sudden fall of the limb of a tree, which men were cutting, May 9th, 1717.
Nathaniel and Joseph Lewis, are names that appear on the rate-list of 1667, as partners in estate. They were transient residents, and probably sons of George Lewis, of Scituate,1 brother of John, the freeman of 1637. If the latter, as we have supposed, was identical with John Lewis, of New London, these young men where his nephews.
1 Deane, p, 303.
[FC, pp. 295-6]
4. Mary or Marah HUNTLEY, daughter of John 1 HUNTLEY and his 2nd wife, Jane, was baptized on 3 Dec 1660, probably born in 1660. She married on 26 Oct 1685 in Lyme, to John SMITH, born 1655, and died 16 Sep 1736 in Lyme, at age 80 or 81. John SMITH was the son of Richard SMITH and Joanna QUARLES.
5. Sarah HUNTLEY, daughter of John 1 HUNTLEY and his 3rd wife, Mary, was born late in 1669 or early 1670.
6. Alice HUNTLEY, daughter of John 1 HUNTLEY and his 3rd wife, Mary, was born about 1673, and died 21 Feb 1754 in East Hampton, Long Island, NY, age 79. She married Beriah DAYTON, born about 1674, and died 30 Apr 1746, age 72. Beriah was the son of Robert & Elizabeth (WOODRUFF) DAYTON.
Evidence is presented in [VWH, p. 7] that Beriah DAYTON is the husband of Alice HUNTLEY. However, in [J&D, p. 15], his wife's name was Jane.
Children:
i. Rachel DAYTON, bapt. 8 Dec 1700, m. John DIAMOND/DIMON.
