Huntington (1745 - 1813), the preacher and religious writer, was the natural son of a Kent farmer, Barnabas Russel, though he was baptized with the name of his putative father, Hunt. Following the example of his biological father, he also fathered a child out of wedlock but was prevented from marrying her. He expanded his name to Huntington, took up preaching, and later supported himself and his family when he moved to London. ESTC T73911 locates 4 copies: C, L, Ldw, O.
