Biographical History
Convert to the Mormon Church.
William Huntington Sr. was born 28 March 1784 in New Grantham, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. He married Zina Baker in 1806. By 1811, he was a man of considerable property, but the War of 1812 was declared and he was "reduced low as to property." By 1816, he had begun to rebuild his holdings, and when he joined the LDS Church in 1835, he again was a prosperous man. In 1836, he sold his farm for $3,500, disposed of his stock and farming utensils, closed out his business, and left for Kirtland, arriving there in October 1836. He left Kirtland, moved to Far West, and then to Nauvoo in 1838. Huntington helped lay the foundation of the Nauvoo temple and later became one of the stone cutters. He was a member of the High Countil until the expulsion of Nauvoo and then presided over the settlement of Mt. Pisgah with Charles C. Rich and Ezra Taft Benson until his death on 19 August 1846.
