    Other Events:

    • Baptism: 24 Jan 1601/02, Thrandeston, County Suffolk, England

    Notes:

    Anecdote:
    John brought his family over from England and was the first ruling elder of the Dedham church.
    According to Anderson:
    John and Hester first lived in Hoxne, where their children Mary and Margaret were baptized. The family next appears in the neighboring parish of Oakley, with baptisms of children in 1631, 1634, and 1636. (Although Hoxne and Oakley are adjacent parishes, they are divided by several jurisdictional boundaries; Hoxne fell within Hoxne Hundred and the archdeaconry of Suffolk, Oakley within Hartismere Hundred and the archdeaconry of Sudbury. The northern boundary of each of these parishes was also the border between Suffolk and Norfolk.)
    The dominant family in Hartismere Hundred was the Comwallises, staunch Catholics and ancestors of Lord Cornwallis of Yorktown. At Oakley, this family held the advowson (the right to recommend appointments to the pulpit); and in 1628 or 1629, despite their Catholic leanings, they nominated a vigorous Puritan, William Greenhill. The Reverend Greenhill served this living for almost a decade, until silenced in 1638. Perhaps John Hunting was attracted by the preaching of Greenhill, moved from Hoxne to Oakley to benefit from his teaching, and then in 1638—being deprived of this religious nurturing—decided to join the migration to New England.
    Upon his arrival in the colonies, Hunting wasted little time in settling at Dedham. On 28 August 1638, the town agreed that he could be "enterteyned to purchase John Coolidge his Lott." According to his contemporary, Reverend John Allin:
    Towards the end of summer we having some experience of Jo. Hunting who came unto us that summer from England & some of us knowing him before & having very good testimony of him from others we agreed to make trial whether he might not be found meet for this work & be willing thereto; in both which we found that incouragement that he also came in amongst us into society.
    Thus, John Hunting became one of the eight "pillars" of the church at Dedham, admitted before the congregation formally organized.
    The Dedham church entered into covenant on 8 November 1638 and soon grew beyond those eight pillars. Its eighteenth member was "the wife of John Hunting who notwithstanding some scruples a while sticking in some of the church yet at length gave good satisfaction & was received.'" Shortly after this, the church proceeded to the selection of a ruling elder, the principal assistant to the minister. Four candidates were proposed; after lengthy consideration, John Hunting was chosen for the position and held it for the rest of his life. He also served Dedham in its secular affairs—being a feoffee (trustee) of the first free school in New England and a selectman on several occasions.
    Hester Hunting died at Dedham on 4 May 1676, having made a will on 4 January 1675/76 with the consent of her husband. In this document, which was not actually proved until 12 February 1684/85, Hester noted that £45 had been given her in the will of her brother Francis, but that it had not yet been received from England. She bequeathed £20 of this to her son John Hunting and £10 to her son Samuel Hunting, "liveing in Charlestown" [Massachusetts]. To Hannah, the wife of her son Samuel, she gave a pair of sheets and her best tablecloth; to her grandchild Samuel Hunting, the eldest son of son Samuel, she left six napkins. Hester then requested that the £15 remaining from her brother's bequest be divided into four equal parts and distributed as follows: one-fourth part (along with a coat) to her daughter Mary Buckner of Boston; one-fourth part to be divided equally among the children of her deceased "daughter Ware"; one-fourth part (and her best gown) to her daughter Hesther Fisher of Dedham; and one-fourth part (and other clothing) to Hesther Peck, the daughter of her son-in-law John Peck of Rehoboth. Finally, Hester made bequests of clothing to her maidservant Mary Wood and to Elizabeth Hunting, wife of her oldest son John. She then named sons John and Samuel as executors.
    John Hunting, Senior, of Dedham made his will on 15 December 1684; he was nearly eighty-three years old but had more than four years yet to live. John began by confirming the bequests made by his wife Hester. He then gave 20s. to his son Samuel, living in Charlestown; this, added to the sum already given Samuel, was to make up that son's full portion. The remainder of John's estate was to be divided into six parts. Two parts (a double portion) were to go to his eldest son, John of Dedham. One part was assigned to his widowed daughter Mary Buckner of Boston and her daughter Mary White; the mother was to have two thirds of their share, the daughter one. Another part was to go to a Dedham son-in-law, Robert Ware, Senior, in right of Robert's wife (Hunting's daughter) Margaret. A fifth part was bequeathed to Hunting's daughter Heasther Fisher of Dedham. The final part was left to his son-in-law John Peck of Rehoboth and Peck's eldest daughter Hesther (in right of Peck's first wife Elizabeth, Hunting's daughter); the Peck share was to be divided equally between Peck and the young Hesther. Executors were to be his Dedham friends, Sergeant Richard Ellis and Thomas Battelle, and his son John, Junior.
    Although Hunting died on 12 April 1689 and the inventory was taken on 11 June of that year, the will was not proved until 26 March 1691. This delay in probate may have been a reflection of the political upheaval consequent upon the 1689 overthrow of the administration of Sir Edmund Andros, governor-general of New England. In any event, John's estate was appraised at £153 3s. 11d., which £129 10s. represented eight different parcels of land.
    Of the three generations for which records have been found, the senior male representatives of the Hunting family of Palgrave, county Suffolk, had successfully maintained and improved their economic status. The father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of the immigrant had each left a substantial estate to the next generation; and each successor to the family property had added more lands. The father of the immigrant John Hunting had already provided for his eldest son and was, at death, building a second fortune. John, by his decision to sail for New England, had foregone a landed inheritance in England that would have made him one of the wealthiest men in his community; yet, by the time he died in Dedham in 1689, his estate was probably greater than those of any of the brothers he had left behind.

    John married Esther (Hester) Seaborn on 28 Jun 1624 in Wramplingham, County Norfolk, England. Esther (daughter of Wiliam Sabume and Mary) was born in in England; died about 1684. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Anecdote:
    The following is from Ware Genealogy:
    One of the settlers, 1671, of Wollonionopoag, incorporated as Wrentham 1673. In March, 1675-6, the town was deserted by the settlers, who took refuge from the Indians in Dedham and elsewhere, and did not return till 1680. " 1676—March Ye 30th Ye lnhabitance ware drawn of by rason of ye Endien Worre." " 1680—August Ye 21st. The Revd Mr Man returned to Wrentham again and divers Inhabnts (John, Nathaniel and Robert Ware among the number.) He is said to have built upon the "Bean Place " as early as 1668. He was one of the first selectmen of Wrentham, 1686. Lieutenant and captain of the first military company.
    John Ware's commission as Lieut, of the Foot Company of Militia in the town of Wrentham, signed by Gov. Stoughton, Aug. 5, 1606, is still extant. He seems to have served as lieutenant from 1689 to 1704, and as captain till 1715. The journal of the company was kept in a small book, six by four inches, written in a crabbed, almost indecipherable hand, and was filled with notices of musters, with the names and amount of fines of the absent and "defective " ; the names of those " presst for Canada " or elsewhere, including those who '"' ran away," and the precautions taken against the Indians. At the end of the book are the following: lines :—
    [CENTER:]" He that is wise will Learn to prise
    an art that is most skillfull
    but as for fools theyel Spoyl all Town
    and Live not wise but willfull.”[:CENTER]
