From the From:
"Standard History of Waupaca County, Wisconsin" Edited by John M.
Ware 1917.
Under Plowman:
"Mrs. Plowman is a daughter of Seth and Mary (Huntoon) Thompson. Her
father was born in Middlebury, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, in 1821. He was a
Wisconsin pioneer, arriving in the territory, as it was then, in 1842. He
worked in mills at Beloit and elsewhere, and had a variety of experience. At
one time he was mail carrier between Stevens Point and Wausau, conveying the
mail by canoe. That was his occupation for six years. He had the distinction
of breaking the first land in Amherst Township, of Portage County. He was
one of the pioneers of Waupaca County, and for several years was employed in
the grist and saw mills on Little Wolf River. Later he removed to the farm,
in Waupaca Township, now owned by Edward Redmond, and from there retired to
Waupaca City, where he died in 1892. He was one of the staunch upholders of
the democratic party in Waupaca County and a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. His wife, who was born at East Orange, Vermont, in 1840,
died at Stoughton, in Dane County, Wisconsin, November 8, 1916, at the age
of seventy-six. She was brought to Wisconsin in
1864 by her father, John Huntoon, her mother having died in Vermont. John
Huntoon settled in Lind Township, of Waupaca County, became a farmer there,
though he was a stonecutter by trade, and in earlier years had worked at
that occupation in the City of Boston John Huntoon died in 1894. In the
Huntoon family were six children Joseph, Samuel, James, John, Sarah and
Mary, all now deceased except the youngest. [Emphasis
added] Mr. and Mrs. Thompson had two children: Mrs. Nettie Plowman and Dora,
now a teacher at Stoughton, Wisconsin."

Hello
again. Sorry. I read your second message before I read the first one.
You
sure do have a lot of Johns in your database. John B. (son of Samuel
#58--Philip
Hunton and His Descendants) was in Washington, Orange Co., Vt, in
1840,
and in Orange, Orange, Vt., in 1850. His sister, Mary G. Huntoon was
married
to Reuben Pope (in VT or NH ?) and when he died there, she came to
Wisconsin
(I think with John B.) and married Elnathan Pope (of the book "Old
Hemlock:
The Poems of Elnathan Pope, Mary G. Huntoon, his wife, etc.")
James
supposedly died out east, haven't found him yet. Sarah M. was in
Waupaca
Co, WI, with John B., where she was married and died. Charles was
also
in Marathon Co., WI. Susan supposedly married someone by the name of
Richardson,
where or when unknown by me. (A lot of the people's names from
VT
and NH are repeated in Waupaca Co.)
John
Kimball Huntoon is the son of John B. Huntoon, along with Joseph Bede
Huntoon,
Samuel Ora Huntoon, James Huntoon, Charles E. Huntoon, and has
sisters,
Mary M. Huntoon, and Sarah S. Huntoon. They all ended up in
Wisconsin,
mostly Waupaca Co.

I've
only been working on my genealogy about 2 years and can't believe how
many
helpful people there are out there. I'm planning to help our local
genealogy
club get some of our local stuff on the internet.
Thanks
again for your efforts.
