Facts and Events
[edit] Bio for Captain Ezekiel HuntleyEzekiel was the son of David and Mary (Munsell) Huntley. He was born around April 1731 in Lyme Connecticut [Scotland Precinct, Windham County], and died there [Lyme] 25 July 1783.{?} In 1775, Ezekiel was enlisted in Capt. David F. Sill's Company in Col. Samuel H. Parson's 6th Connecticut Regiment. He married his first wife about 1756 in Lyme, Mary Avery, daughter of Nathaniel and Rachel Avery. Ezekiel and Mary were the parents of Abigail Huntley and Hannah Huntley. Ezekiel and his family lived in Lyme on property given to him by his grandfather, Aaron Huntley, Sr. Ezekiel served with his son, Asher on the brigantine General Green under Capt. Gideon Olmsted. East of the Nantucket Shoals, the General Green was captured by the British privateer ship Virginia. The men were sent to prison ships in New York Harbor. Ezekiel returned home, but died in Lyme a few days later. Ezekiel and his second wife, Naomi Tiffany, (born in 1737 in Lyme, and died 25 July 1821, daughter of Consider and Naomi (Comstock) Tiffany.) were the parents of eight children. One of them, Rufus Huntley, appears to have passed time in Marlow, but died in Ohio [Medina County]. He was not alone among Marlow citizens to go west. |
