Martha Huntington, b. of record Dec. 9, 1695 at Norwich, Conn., the youngest child of John Huntington and Abigail Lothrop. She d. of record and intestate Aug. 26, 1779 at Tolland, Conn., Æ 83. That Martha died of record in the town of Tolland suggests she was then residing with her oldest surviving son Adoniram Grant, who was administrator of her estate.[1]

Alternately, she could have been interred at Coventry's Nathan Hale cemetery where her second husband Peter Buell is interred with gravestone. Unfortunately Martha has no recorded burial location and gravestone at either cemetery.
