Daniel Hugunin, Jr.

Daniel Hugunin, Jr.

Daniel Hugunin, Jr. (February 6, 1790 Oswego, then in Montgomery County, New York – June 20, 1850 Kenosha, Kenosha County, Wisconsin) was an American politician from New York and Wisconsin Territory.

Life

He was the son of Daniel Abraham Hugunin (1756-1828) and Mary (Garrabrance) Hugunin. He pursued classical studies. He served in the War of 1812 and was taken prisoner at the Battle of Queenston Heights. On January 4, 1817, he married Clarissa Ann Van Horne at Schenectady, and they had five children, among them Daniel Clinton Huguenin (1825-1846) who died in the Mexican–American War.

At the United States House of Representatives elections in New York, 1824, Hugunin received a majority of the votes cast in the 20th congressional district, but while the greater part of the votes was returned for "Daniel Hugunin, jun.", a smaller part was returned for "Daniel Hugunin, junior" and "Daniel Hugunin". The votes for the latter two variants were counted as scattering, giving a majority to Egbert Ten Eyck, the incumbent Jacksonian congressman. Hugunin contested the election of Ten Eyck, and was seated as an Adams man in the 19th United States Congress on December 15, 1825, holding office until March 3, 1827.

In 1828, Hugunin was elected one of the first trustees of the Village of Oswego.

On March 15, 1841, he was appointed by President William Henry Harrison as United States Marshal for Wisconsin Territory. He remained in office until August 31, 1844, when Charles M. Prevost was appointed to succeed Hugunin.

He was buried at the Green Ridge Cemetery in Kenosha.
