DIANE ELIZABETH HUNTINGTON - FAMILY MEMBERS - HUNTINGTON ICONS of AMERICA ~ • Published on November 1, 2018 HUNTINGTONS IN AMERICA~ DIANE ELIZABETH HUNTINGTON - FAMILY MEMBERS - HUNTINGTON ICONS OF AMERICA ~ • Published on November 1, 2018 Samuel Huntington, Signer of the Declaration of Independence was my sixth great-uncle, considered by some to be the first President of the United States. He was appointed to the position of King's attorney for the colony of Connecticut. Nine years later, Samuel's conscience made him resign from this post and turn his back on what might have been a bright and comfortable future in the employment of the King. Little did he know at the time the Huntington's and Royal Family would merge in marriage. My great, great, great, grandmother, Caroline Cornelia Streit, second cousin to Queen Victoria married Collins Hickox Huntington on May 30, 1836 in Frelighsburg, P.Q., Canada. Her father Dr. Abram Freligh founded Frelighsburg. https://www.jud.ct.gov/lawlib/history/samhuntington.htm Collis Potter Huntington, American railroad magnate who promoted the Central Pacific Railroad’s extension across the West, making possible the first transcontinental railroad in 1869. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Collis-P-Huntington The other two photos in the header are Arabella Duval Yarrington "Belle" Huntington (c.1851– 1924) who was the second wife of American railway tycoon and industrialist Collis P. Huntington, and then after the death of Collis P., became the second wife of his nephew, Henry Edwards Huntington. Although she married Collis P. with a young son Archer it was often speculated he was Collis P. Huntington's biological son. Archer made enormous educational, arts, and cultural contributions to America and the world. http://hispanicsociety.org/about-us/history/archer-huntington/ He also married Anna Hyatt Huntington an incredible American sculptor and icon in the art world. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Anna-Hyatt-Huntington Henry Edwards Huntington, https://www.britannica.com/biography/Henry-E-Huntington better known as Railroad Magnate, the Henry E. Huntington Library, http://www.huntington.org/ and Huntington beach married his uncle Collis P.'s widow, Arabella Duval Yarrington "Belle" Huntington who became his second wife. Married to Henry Edwards Huntington Arabella was known as the force behind the art collection installed at the Huntington Library. She was also touted as being the richest woman in America who seemed to invest her wealth in a way that many in America and the world have enjoyed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabella_Huntington Sarah Elizabeth Huntington, my great, great grandmother (below photo, far right), and daughter of Cornelia Streit Huntington, my great, great, great grandmother (not in photo), and second cousin to Queen Victoria. The bottom photo is my great grandmother, Pauline Huntington. The Huntington Sisters! Daughters of Pauline Huntington and granddaughters of Sarah Elizabeth in photo above. My grandmother (on left), Virginia Elizabeth and Charlotte Huntington. In days of old to preserve the maternal name it passed down as a middle name often to the eldest daughter, in this case Charlotte Huntington. My hope after living a lifetime again, never knowing any of the above profound history is to create some variation of a theme, on a program described in my personal statement/research proposal for the University of York. Through DNA, genealogy, history, lineage this world is ever closer to understanding how connected we all are beginning with one common ancestor in Africa. We are One Race - One World. This is one of Anna Hyatt Huntington's incredibly beautiful contributions of art to the world. https://www.brookgreen.org/american-sculpture Thank you, Diane Elizabeth Huntington Loring www.spaventura.com - [email protected] .

In historical reality, however, some Western « boosters» made it into the ranks of the national business elite. Thus the promoters of the Central Pacific Railroad, first a small, Sacramento-based railroad company, built the western branch of the first transcontinental railroad and became known as the California “Big Four”.

His birth date is smudged in the town records and has been variously reported as July 3 and July 5, 1731, but the mystery was solved during a recent refurbishment of the tomb in Old Norwichtown Cemetery where he and his wife Martha are buried. There is a plate on his coffin that reads, “…born July 16th AD 1731.” It appears that Samuel, like many others in that period, added eleven days to his birth date to make up for a change in the calendar that eliminated eleven days from the month of September 1752. Therefore, he celebrated the anniversary of his birth on July 16, and his date of record must have been July 5.

This dissertation titled When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 by LELAND K. WOOD has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Patrick S. Washburn Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract WOOD, LELAND K., Ph.D., August 2009, Journalism When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 (246 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Patrick S. Washburn The dissertation documents public-relations practices of officers and managers in two companies: the Central Pacific Railroad with offices in Sacramento, California, and the Union Pacific Railroad with offices in New York City. It asserts that sophisticated and systematic corporate public relations were practiced during the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, fifty years before historians generally place the beginning of such practice. Documentation of the transcontinental railroad practices was gathered utilizing existing historical presentations and a review of four archives containing correspondence and documents from the period. Those leading the two enterprises were compelled to practice public relations in order to raise $125 million needed to construct the 1,776-mile-long railroad by obtaining and keeping federal loan guarantees and by establishing and maintaining an image attractive to potential bond buyers.
