Everything about Samuel H Huntington totally explained
Samuel H. Huntington (
October 4,
1765 –
June 8,
1817) was an
American jurist who was Governor of
Ohio from
1808 to
1810.
He was the nephew and adopted son of
Samuel Huntington, the fourth
President of the Continental Congress and First President of the United States in Congress Assembled under the
Articles of Confederation. A
1785 graduate of
Yale College. He was admitted to the bar and began practicing law in
Connecticut. He moved to Ohio in
1801, moving with his wife and small sons to the tiny village of
Cleveland. After serving as a delegate to the State's first constitutional convention, Huntington was selected to the State Supreme Court as an Associate Justice and succeeded
Return J. Meigs, Jr. as Chief Justice a year later. He served until being elected in 1808. His tenure was stormy, with much controversy over the impeachment of two judges for upholding the principle of judicial review (Huntington would have been impeached as well had it not been being elected governor), the move of the state capital from
Zanesville to
Chillicothe, and the
Tiffin Resolution, which terminated the terms of all sitting judges. Huntington didn't stand for re-election, but instead ran for the
U.S. Senate, losing to
Thomas Worthington.
