Biography
Joseph Huntley was born in Lyme, New London, Connecticut, on January 27, 1707/8. He married on January 7, 1729, in the same county to Ruth Williams (1712-1739), daughter of Thomas Williams and Sarah Rogers. They lived in New London, on their land of 48.75 acres on the "west side of Fergoes". Their firstborn son, John Huntley, was born about 1729 and three more daughters followed before Ruth died in 1739 at the age of about 27 years. Joseph married second to Eunice Welch of Preston, Connecticut, on October 24, 1741. She was a daughter of John Welch and Susanna Emmons. Joseph had seven more children with Eunice.
On October 6, 1742, Joseph sold his land in New London to his brother, Samuel Huntley. He then "returned to Lyme where he had land by gift from his father and by purchase from Samuel on 4 Mile River adjacent to his brothers Benjamin and John."
Joseph died in Lyme on June 13, 1758.
