 Includes NotesNotes for Nathaniel Huntting:
Harvard Graduate 1693, 2nd pastor Church of East Hampton, NY installed 9/13/1699

The town of East Hampton paid its second minister 60 pounds sterling a year; gave a house and the land it was built on to him and his heirs forever; and the use of all parsonage lands during his pastorate. The Huntting Inn today is the greatly enlarged and changed home of Rev. Nathaniel, to which he brought his bride Mary Green in 1701. It remained in the hands of his descendants until 1939; nine generations were born in the house.

Rev. Nathaniel's portrait is now owned by his descendant John Monks of NY; the old Huntting clock, sold when the house went out of the family, is now in Winterthur, the DuPont Museum in Delaware.

The Huntting has a long history as an inn. David Gardiner in his "Chronicles of East Hampton" printed 1871, described the "High merriment and frolicking, the oceans of flip, the cans of well-tempered punch and gin toddy" there, when the British officers and local wits met there during the British occupation in the Revolution "This was neutral ground, and the reproachful epithet of rebel or traitor was not heard". Mr. Gardiner said "at Nathaniel Huntting's public house". In 1875 it was enlarged for boarders a more sedate company. In 1944 it was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph C. Frood who enlarged it considerably and uncovered some of the fine old hand-carved oak beams put together with wooden pins.

Nathaniel's diary kept while he was a student at Harvard, is in the Pennypacker LI collection at the EH Library. Rev. Nathaniel married a capable wife according to a little account book kept by her 1721-1726. In addition to raising ten children, she kept a shop in her home to supplement the preacher's salary.
