While up at Westminster for his fifth Parliament, in 1423, Huntingdon appeared in person in the court of common pleas to sue a ‘seafaringman’ from Havant in Hampshire for a debt of £10.2 CP40/651, rot. 364d.

Following his death his heir was his niece Katherine, who was married to Richard Whatton esquire, employed as clerk of the kitchen by the duke of Gloucester, the warden of the Cinque Ports. The couple petitioned the chancellor when Huntingdon’s feoffees, including John Edward* (his fellow MP of 1427) and William Goldyng*, allegedly refused to give them seisin of certain of his lands in Kent and Sussex.3 C1/69/354. The MP’s widow was exempted from taxation on her moveable goods at Hooe, near Hastings, in the mid 1430s, because of her former husband’s status as a baron of the Port.4 E179/226/71.
