vii Philip died while young viii Jonathan died while young Paragraph below added by Harry Huntoon based on Kathy Beals, Early Families of Unity NH. p.95 Thomas Philbrick, commonly called Philbrick, was born in Kingston 2 Nov 1753. He was in 1775 in Revolutionary army from Kingston [Rev. Pension Ap. 5417] He married Elizabeth Huntoon at Charlestown in 1777; both were of Unity at time of marriage. Listed in 1790 census at Unity. Left Unity for Wendell NH by 1795 {Rev Pension Ap. 5417] Moved to Concord, then to Ohio. He died 2 Jan 1831 in Concord OH, and Elizabeth died there 1847 [per Rev Pension Ap. 5417]. Beals cited 4 children: Scribner, Corbin, Betsey, and Mahala. All children are in Ohio in 1853 at time of pension application. [Pension ap. birthdates on Scribner and Corbin 1784 and 1786.] Supplemental Data - quotations from "The Origin of the Name of Concord, Lake County and the Huntoon Family" by Frederick C. Waite, professor at Case Western Reserve University and trustee of the Case Western Reserve Historical Society, as excerpted from a typewritten version received from Lyall Huntoon, 2340 N 61st Terrace, Hollywood FL 33024-4222 (email: huntoon@interpoint.net) Page 1: "In March 1822 the commissioners of Geauga County authorized that there be set off from Painesville a certain area lying largely in Township 10, Range 8, which was to be erected into a town by the name of Concord. That township is not five miles square, since its boundaries follow the topography and, in part, the Grand River, rather than surveyor's lines. Page 2: Come to Lake County "The head of the family which came to Lake County [Ohio] was Thomas Philbrick Huntoon. He was the great-grandson of Philip Huntoon the immigrant. He was named after Thomas Philbrick, a man prominent in southern New Hampshire. The records of him frequently give his name as merely Philbrick Huntoon. "Thomas Philbrook Huntoon4 Samuel3 John2 Philip1 was the son of Samuel and Hannah (Ladd) Huntoon, and was born in Kingston New Hampshire, November 7, 1753. He died in Concord Lake County [Ohio] January 2, 1831, and is buried in what is known as the Huntoon Cemetery in Concord. "On May 24, 1775, which was little more than a month after the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the Assembly of New Hampshire sitting at Exeter, then the state capitol, authorized the raising of a regiment to fight the British. The next day, Thomas Huntoon and his younger brother, Charles, enlisted. Charles was wounded at Bunker Hill. Thomas Philbrick Huntoon served two months and twelve days in Captain Tilton's Company of Colonel Enoch Poor's Regiment. Most of this service was in camp at Cambridge, Massachusetts. Enlists Again "Records show that for some special services he and about twenty of his fellow members in the regiment were each promised a regimental coat, but in October 1775, each of this group of soldiers signed a receipt for four dollars in money in lieu of the regimental coat. On the enlistment rolls he is named as Thomas Philbrick Huntoon, but his signature on the receipt is Philbrick Huntoon. "In September, 1776, he again enlisted and was in service two months, going to New York. In June, 1777, he again enlisted and was at Ticonderoga for seven days, and again in September 1777, he enlisted and was in the Battle of Saratoga. The records of these four enlistments, including mileage and pay, are all in the official New Hampshire printed records. "Before the Revolutionary War there was considerable emigration from the town of Kingston to new towns in Merrimack and Sullivan Counties, New Hampshire, some sixty miles north. John, the grandfather of Thomas Philbrick, was one of the grantees of a new town in Merrimack County. This migration from Kingston northward continued after the war and in it were several Huntoon families. Page 3 There is no record of when Thomas Philbrick Huntoon went to these settlements, but the fact that his last enlistment in September, 1777, was in a regiment raised from Sullivan County suggests the probability that he migrated in 1777. Thomas Huntoon Marries He married about 1782 his second cousin, Elizabeth Huntoon, who is buried beside him in the Huntoon cemetery in Concord. She outlived him sixteen years and died at the age of eighty-eight. I have found record of the birth of five children; Scribner, born in 1784; Corbin, born in 1786; Philip, born in 1792; Jonathan, born in 1794; and Mahali, born in 1797. The older two sons, Scribner and Corbin, came to Concord, Lake County. The records of heads of families in New Hampshire in the census of 1790 place Thomas Philbrick Huntoon at Unity, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, and he had in his family two males under sixteen years of age, and three females. This indicates that there were probably two daughters born before 1790, although it may be that these two females besides the wife were servants or relatives instead of children. ... Scribner Huntoon was a sergeant in the First New Hampshire Volunteer Regiment inthe War of 1812, which was enlisted in January 1813, and his younger brother Corbin was a musician in the same regiment. Scribner Huntoon died in Concord [OH] November 31, 1865, at the age of eighty-two years, three months, and six days. This indicates his birth as August 24, 1783, instead of 1784 as is given in the Huntoon Genealogy. He [Scribner] married Hannah Young in the town of Wendell, later called Sunapee, New Hampshire, on May 27, 1807. Huntoons Buried Here Corbin Huntoon died in Concord, Lake County, on June 15, 1873 at the age of eighty-five years. This would indicate that he was born in 1787 instead of 1786 as is given in this [the Huntoon] genealogy. Beside both of these men are buried their wives, in the Huntoon cemetery. Also buried in this cemetery are various other Huntoons, probably cousins. The date when the Huntoon family came to Concord I have not found, but it was clearly between 1813 when Scribner and Corbin were in the army in New Hampshire, and 1822 when the township was named. The History of Sullivan County, New Hampshire, published in 1886, under the town of Sunapee, carried this statement, "Nearly sixty years ago, quite a number of families from this and neighboring towns moved to Ohio, and settled for the most part, in Painesville and Concord, the latter being named in honor of the capital city of their native state. These immigrants were Huntoons, Youngs, Clapps, and Chases." It will be noted that the family of Huntoon is the one first name [in the History of Sullivan County), but from what has been given before [above], this migration to Ohio must have taken place more than sixty years prior to the writing of this history." Supplemental data based on Census Thomas (T.) Philbrick (or Philbrook) is seen at Kingston NH 1776 for Association Test. He was in 1790 at Unity with himself, two males under 16 and 3 females. For the 1800 Census he was at Wendell (Sunapee) NH 01101-11010. Supplemental data posted by Karen Meireis to HUNTOON-L between 11-18-1997 and 11-25-1997
