He was a merchant. He was elected Town Clerk February 14, 1825, to succeed his father who died February 4. The office of town clerk seems to have been handed down from father to son, as Christopher Huntington, the first male child born in Norwich, was elected town clerk, to succeed Richard Bushnell, and the office was held by Isaac, his son, from December 6, 1726, to January 9, 1764. His son, Benjamin, succeeded him March 5, 1764, and held the office to September 11, 1801, when he resigned in favor of his son Phillip, who held the office until his death, February 4, 1825. His son, Benjamin, held the office until October, 1830, when the office was removed to the City of Norwich.
