How Huntsburg Township, Geauga County began
Huntsburg Township was purchased in 1803 by Eben Hunt and John Breck, of Northampton, Massachusetts, and named for Hunt as the larger of the two proprietors; it was subdivided into a hundred lots in 1806 with the aim of limiting each settler to one lot apiece. Stephen Pomeroy became the first actual settler in 1807, and his descendants remained prominent in the township for generations -- the 1879 county history notes his grandson Dr. Orange Pomeroy, son of Horace Pomeroy, still practicing locally decades later. Huntsburg is a small rural township in eastern Geauga County with no National Register-listed site of its own; it had 3,657 residents in 2020.
Settled 1807 (Stephen Pomeroy, of Northampton, Massachusetts, per the 1879 county history); a hermit named John Findley is recorded living alone in the township from 1802 until his disappearance in 1814, incorporated April 3, 1821 (civil organization ordered by the county commissioners; first election held April 16, 1821), by Eben Hunt and John Breck, of Northampton, Massachusetts, purchasers and namesakes of the township in 1803; Stephen Pomeroy, first actual settler.

Wikipedia's township article similarly credits an "original owner of the land," naming him Dr. Eben Hunt, and notes Geauga's is the only Huntsburg Township in Ohio.

Stories
Three generations of Pomeroys
Stephen Pomeroy arrived in Huntsburg Township in 1807, among the earliest settlers in this corner of Geauga County. The family stayed: the 1879 county history notes that by the time of its writing, Dr. Orange Pomeroy -- son of Horace Pomeroy and grandson of Stephen, the township's first pioneer -- was practicing medicine locally, a small but concrete thread connecting Huntsburg's founding generation to the one still living there more than seventy years later.
The hermit of Findley's Creek
Before any permanent settler arrived, a solitary man named John Findley was found in 1802 living in a small hut on a stream later named Findley's Creek, with about three acres under cultivation and a flat stone that served as his threshing floor. The 1879 county history records that he was said to be a native of Maryland who had been an Indian trader and hunter in Kentucky, had known Daniel Boone, and had served with General Anthony Wayne; he was described as reticent, religious, and given to reading the Bible. Findley disappeared from the township suddenly in 1814, reportedly to join the army, taking whatever secret lay behind his isolation with him.
Lewis Hunt's model farm
Lewis Hunt, son of the township's largest proprietor, took up residence in Huntsburg in 1817 as a bachelor of wide travel and polished manners. He planted a model farm in the northeast corner, on lot forty-five, and became known across the Western Reserve for the choice apple and peach varieties he introduced and for the elms he is said to have planted with his own hands, which were still admired decades later. In 1833 Hunt traveled to Massachusetts and returned with Samuel Bodman, who became superintendent of his farm; not long after, Hunt suffered a paralytic stroke and died, a loss the county history calls significant to both township and county.
