PG322: Huntting Family. This family is descended from elder John Huntting, who resided in the east of England, probably in the county of Norfolk. He had a brother who was a dissenting minister, reaching in that and the adjoining county of Suffolk as he found employment in those troublous times for dissenters. John Huntting came to this country in August, 1638, and when the R^v. John Allen was ordained minister of the gospel in Dedham, Mass., John Huntting was at the same time ordained a ruling elder of the church.
It has been thought by some that the family have no coat of arms. But in Bloomfield's History of Norfolk, vol. 5, page 460, is a record among other monuments in the village church of Trowse-with-Newton, of a coat of arms borne by the Hunton family, differing from that of the Huutons of East Knoyle, county of Wilts, just enough to make it highly probable that the two families are connected. As to the spelling of the name, that was a matter of indifference in those days. The wits of Charles II amused themselves in signing their names in as varied forms as their ingenuity could devise. The name Sayre is spelled in three or four different ways in the same legal document of date in the 17th century. Huntting and Hunton are doubtless the same name. The arms of the East Knoyle family are : Argent, on a chevron per pale gules and azure, between three talbots (or hunting dogs) passant sable, as many stags heads cabossed or. Crest: A demi-talbot gules collared and eared or, holding between the paws a stag's head cabossed of the last.
PG 323: The arms on the Norfolk monument are : Sable, a chevron ermine between three talbots passant argent. This agrees perfectly with the arms as pictured and in possession of Mr. William Hedges of East Hampton, and which are, if I remember correctly, of quite ancient date. The presumption is that the Hunttings of Long Island and the Huntons of Trowse are the same family. The two inscriptions given by Bloomfield are as follows:
"Hannah the dearly beloved wife of John Huuton died 9 Dec. 1707."
" Ilic jacet Johannes Hunton Generosus* ob. 28 Maij. A. D. 1714, ae. 57."
