Samuel
Huntington (1731-1796)
Gerlach,
Larry R. Connecticut Congressman: Samuel Huntington 1731-1796.
Bicentennial pamphlet XX (1977). Longest of the Bicentennial
pamphlets, 142 pages, this constitutes a more ambitious undertaking
than any of the other biographical contributions to the series.
Gerlach, who wrote an excellent master's thesis on Connecticut
during the Revolutionary era, has explored Huntington's life fully,
emphasizing his political career. It is likely that this work
will remain definitive for a long time.

Susan D. "Samuel Huntington." Connecticut Magazine

house and tomb, the text of several letters he wrote between 1778
and 1787.

Connecticut" CHS Bulletin 19(January, 1954)1.
Waugh,
Albert Edmund. Samuel Huntington and his Family. Stonington,
Conn.: Pequot Press, 1968. A slight work, but certainly not useless
if Gerlach is not available.
