He was a land owner at the south line of New Marlborough, Mass., and the l)urying ground adjoining his farm is to this day called "The Huxley Burying Ground," and the school district, "Huxley School District" though no living Huxleys are to be found in that locality for more than thirty years.

He was a farmer by occupation, and most likely a weaver, since his will speaks of his "shop, loom and loom tackling, etc." which he bequeathed to his son Asahel.
