Samuel Huntington, Jr. (1765-1817) - politician and Ohio's third governor, was born in Norwich, Conn., the son of Hannah (Devotion) and the Rev. Joseph Huntington. He was informally adopted by his uncle, Samuel Huntington, subsequently president of the Continental Congress and governor of Connecticut. Samuel studied at Dartmouth and Yale, graduated from Yale in 1785, and became a Connecticut lawyer, politician, and land speculator. When his stepfather died, Huntington moved in 1801 to Ohio'sWESTERN RESERVEas a land agent and hotel keeper. Already politically well known, Huntington sided with the Chillicothe Republican faction at Ohio's constitutional convention, expecting to be given a U.S. Senate seat, but he was instead shunted to the chief justiceship of the Ohio Supreme Court.

In 1808 Huntington was elected governor during a power struggle between the legislature and judiciary. He tried to remain neutral, but won only criticism from both sides. In 1810 Huntington lost a Senate race to Thomas Worthington. In later years, Huntington served in the assembly, leading the anti-Chillicothe Republican faction.
