"John Huntington, born in Tolland, February 22,1726. He married Mehetabel Steele, who was born June 6, 1733. He was a farmer, and lived in Tolland. He was accidentally killed by falling under a cart wheel on the road from Hartford to Tolland, March 23, 1774. The tradition is that he was riding a young colt who shied and threw him.

"The 'Steele Family' says that John Huntington married Sarah Steele, who was born, as Mehetabel, above."[1] (NB- It is not clear what "Steele Family" source has John marrying Mehitable's sister Sarah. Durrie's book on the Steeles clearly has John marrying Mehitable.[2])
