It is thought by some researchers, myself included, that there are considerable indicators of movement by Huntoon families, primarily from Unity and surrounding towns in New Hampshire into the area at what is today the US-Canadian border between present-day Quebec, also known previously as Canada East ( C. E.) and the states of New Hampshire and Vermont in the years just before 1800 up to 1812.   Several families identified in Daniel T. V. Huntoon's genealogy have been found to have located here, either during this period or permanently.

The following are the references to Canada and northmost Vermont in Daniel T. V. Huntoon's work:

1. Joseph (John²Philip¹) Huntoon, a blacksmith by trade and soldier during the Revolution, left Unity NH before 1800 and located at Danville VT.  He died there in 1812.   Several of his children located there with him, marrying at Danville and Cabot VT.  A pension application [Revolutionary War pension application R5419] says he died c. 1812-1813 in either Danville VT or Stanstead, Canada.
2. One of Joseph's sons, Amos Tappan Huntoon, located at Charlestown VT, where the Hunton Genealogy says "He was one of the first settlers of Charlestown,  Vt. 1806; moderator of the first town meeting; and on the first board of selectmen. In 1815 he lived at Brownington."  Brownington and Charleston (Charlestown) are immediately adjacent towns just south of the present-day Canadian border.  Amos Huntoon is located at Brownington in Orleans Co. VT for the 1810, 1820, and 1830 censuses. 
3. William M. Huntoon, age 25 is listed in the 1850 census of Dorchester, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts as born in Montreal, Quebec.  His occupation is "lumber dealer".  It is probable he is William Minot Huntoon in the Huntoon genealogy.

A portion of an 1895 railway map of northmost Vermont, adjoining the Canadian border, illustrates the proximity of the Charleston (Charlestown) and Brownington to Stanstead, Quebec.

From other information, not listed in Daniel T. V. Huntoon's genealogy, the following information is developed:

1. The older sons of Philip Huntoon of Unity VT (Willard, Nathaniel, and Hilton--ages 24, 15, and 14) do not appear in the 1800 census at Unity NH.  Willard does not appear in a U.S. Census until 1820 at Goshen NH.  Nathaniel appears at Lemington VT, rightmost on the map at the Connecticut River five miles from the Canadian border.  Willard Huntoon and family, we know from Vermont Warnings Out listings, was warned out of Lemington in April 1811.  Willard Huntoon's wife in 1812 was Rhoda Buckman.  Her father was resident in Lemington in the 1800 census.   Willard Huntoon's oldest son, Willard (b. 1806), is enumerated on an 1860 Census at the poor farm in Bridgewater VT where he lived as born in "C.E."  It is probable that Willard Huntoon, Sr.and family were north of the Canadian border for at least some part of the 1800-1811 period.
2. Philip (Nathaniel³John²Philip¹) Huntoon's first-born daughter, Rezinah (Zina), not listed in the Huntoon Genealogy, married Isaac Thurber, probably the youngest son of Benjamin and Elizabeth [Hallet] Thurber.    She died after giving birth to one daughter [Sarah Thurber Amadon].  This child died as widow of John Amidon at Tingwick, Quebec aged 79 on 27 October 1867.   Isaac Thurber died at Danville or Shipton, Quebec per a private letter which I have not seen.  Per the History of Compton County, Quebec (p. 203), Isaac Thurber went to Clifton, Quebec from Canaan VT in 1798 and stayed two years (Lot 8, Range 3).  This would put him outside the U. S. in 1800.

Allan Abrahamse found an entry for 1850 census of Salem, Orleans Co. VT for Philip Huntoon, age 47  Hannah, age 30  Otis, age 15  Aris, age 9,  Samuel, age 7  , Candis, age 5.  All are shown as born in C.E. (Canada East or Quebec)  That age would have put his birthdate as 1803.  Salem VT was at the Canadian border.   This Philip does not match the Huntoon Genealogy or other data that I have.  Recently, I came across email from Nancy Hinerth (banker@gisco.net) who says her greatgrandmother was Aris C. Huntoon, daughter of Philip Huntoon and Hannah Morrison, and married Charles Crandall.  They both died at Derby VT and are buried at West Charlesto(w)n VT.

From a local researcher in Stanstead, Quebec, on an inquiry about data he/she might have on Huntoon (made thru the QC-ETANGLO-L list on Genweb, the following was identified as possible Huntoon data (which I have not pursued further yet):
