Talk:Benjamin Huntington

message: In editing this article, I found that there was almost a full paragraph that reads exactly the same as a source listed in external links. In addition the paragraph is written more as a editorial than as a factual article with very descriptive words. I edited the article so it no longer reads exactly the same as the source and found other references to support the information. The paragraph read the same as Biography of Benjamin Huntington by the Huntington Family Association. I also removed a few sentences that were descriptive only, "Thus, for more than twenty years, during the most eventful period of United States history, he was continually serving his constituents in offices always onerous, and often hazardous. How well he discharged these trusts, their own recurrence will unequivocally evince. A word on this point, however, is due both to his memory and to the truth of American revolutionary history." Thank you.--BuzyBody (talk) 20:59, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Added the fact that he signed the Declaration of Independence.
"Ben" was a conscientious objector to war and felt any dispute humanity had could be solved by honorable litigation including the Revolutionary War.  "Ben" also felt the human right to control original speech or drawings would be protected adequately by the Copy[rite] Act of 1790 and other  honorable litigation. 
"Ben" was honorable and would defend himself or his family with force as necessary but felt violence was demonstration of refusal to honorably litigate. "Ben" was one of the geniuses that began the United States but would not wish to be recalled as having so little intellect he would fight in any war or one of the worst examples of humanity. 
His biography  states he never attended Yale and was awarded degree(s) honorarily. This only recognized he was beyond the best instructors at law on earth. As the only conscientious objector to war with a good conduct medal and discharge as a USMC Corporal in history, I salute Benjamin Huntington. He was NOT too scared to fight, he was to smart to resort to this dishonorable human mistake CurtisNeeley (talk) 04:03, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

message: In 1860, a Benjamin N. Huntington, from Rome NY, was president of the New York State Agricultural Society.  Grandson, perhaps?  -- RoySmith (talk) 19:26, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
