He was the ninth child of Israel and Lucinda Everett Hunting, and was a decendant of John Hunting, who came to America from the county of Suffolk, England, in the year 1633, and settled in Dedham, Mass., where he was admitted a freeman the next year and became one of the founders and a "ruling elder, " of the Dedham church.
