Case 32578 Huntting Joseph Milford 1821.

Will of "Joseph Huntting of Milford ... Yeoman", dated 18 Sep 1799, heirs cited 8 May 1821, proved 5 Jun 1821, names wife Hannah Huntting; daughters Sarah Cheeney and Elisabeth Nelson; son Joseph Huntting. Son Joseph to be executor.
↑ Some sources (e.g., Source:Ford, Clayton R. Ancestry of Loren Robert Ford, p. 92) identifies the husband as the Joseph Hunting b. 23 Jul 1745 to Samuel and Elizabeth Hunting of Needham. It requires that Joseph married at age 18, well under 21, to a woman 16 years older than him. While it is possible, it seems unlikely unless evidence can be found that this is the right Joseph.
