    "Hezekiah Huntington, the third child and eldest son of the Hon. Hezekiah and Hannah (Frink) Huntington, and grandson of Christopher and Sarah (Adgate) Huntington, of Norwich, Connecticut, was born in that town, August 10, 1726. … As the father was in 1740 a member of the Upper House or Governor's Council, the son's name was placed at the head of his class
    in family rank. While on a voyage from New London to Cape Breton he was taken prisoner by a French man-of-war, June 28, 1746. near Cape Sable. He was carried into captivity in Canada, and died in Quebec, May 15, 1747,—just as his father was obtaining the passage of a resolution in the Connecticut Assembly, desiring the Governor to intercede for his release."
