Frederick Dan Huntington

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frederic Dan Huntington (1819-1904) was the first Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of central New York. He was a graduate of Amherst College and Harvard Divinity School. Although initially ordained as a Unitarian, he withdrew from that denomination to pursue ordination in the Episcopal Church. On April 8, 1869, Huntington was consecrated bishop. He was the author of numerous religious works. He was the father of three daughters and two sons. His family home, Forty Acres, or the Porter-Phelps-Huntington house in Hadley, Massachusetts, is now a museum open seasonally (15 May-15 October).
