 Includes NotesNotes for Roger Huntinge:
We are indebted to J. Carlton Hunting of Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, England, for hitherto unrecorded information on the history of the Huntting or Hunting family. He is descended from Edward, second son of the Rev. Nathaniel Huntting of East Hampton. His father removed in1869 from Dutchess County, N.Y, to England, where Mr. Hunting was born in 1872.

Mr. Hunting has done much research and found that the grandfather of John Huntinge, first of the name in America, was Roger Huntinge, born about 1540 during the reign of Henry VIII, and died 1591 at Thrandeston, Suffolk, where he "owned a number of copyholds and other tenements." His son William, born 1558, married Margaret Randolfe and removed to Hoxne, Suffolk (locally pronounced "Oxen") where a family of ten children was born, of which John, who emigrated to Dedham, Mass. in 1638, was the eldest. William died at Hoxne that same year.

Quoting Mr. Hunting: "Hoxne is only a small village, but contains a large church with spacious vicarage adjoining. In former times it was he summer residence of the Bishop of Norwich. The neighborhood is also known as the Hoxne Hundreds."

The original John Huntting stated that the ancestor of the family was an "Esquire", which formerly meant the shield-bearer of a knight. The emblem of an Esquire in heraldry is a "Rundle", or round figure. It is stated that the arms of the Huntting family consisted of ten rundles on a silver shield. The color of these rundles being blue, they are called "hurts". The coat of arms consists, therefore, of ten hurts on a silver shield surmounted by a crest of a right hand in natural color, holding a shield azure. This is supposed to date from about the eleventh century.
