Henry K. (or S.) Latting was born 5 January 1806 on Long Island, but we do not know exactly where. He married a Julia Wood in the period 1830-1832, but we do not know her parents or just when or where they were married. According to the information on her gravestone, she was born 24 February 1813, but there are conflicting data regarding her age in census records. They appear to have lived for a few years in Huntington, Suffolk County, before moving to Farmingdale, just across the county line in what was then Queens County (now Nassau County). However, their children continued to be recorded in the school censuses of Huntington. Henry Lattin is shown as a farmer in the 1850 and 1860 Censuses. There are conflicting data about how many children were born to this couple, but those listed below have been confirmed. Henry Latting apparently dropped the final "g" from his name early in his life. One son is buried under the name Latting, but all later records show him as Lattin. He died in Farmingdale 21 November 1894, and Julia died there on 27 October 1873. They are both buried in the Old Powell Cemetery in Farmingdale, Long Island, along with several of their children who died young. (English)
