I googled for Huntington's Maggot and found in "Notes and Queries" (headed Aug.
10 1850] this note:

The ancient tune known as the *Carpenter's Maggot*, and until lately played at
the annual dinner of the Livery of the Carpenters' Company, may be found at
p.258. ofthe first volume of a rare work entitled *The Dancing Master*, sm.
obl. 1721.  The same volume contains a choice assemblage of "Maggots," i.e.
Barker's Maggot, Cary's Maggot, Draper's Maggot, Hill's Maggot, Huntington's
Maggot, M. Coppinger's Maggot, &c.

The word Maggot, from the French "Magot", means a whim, or a fancy.  The bird
"magpie", originally "maggoty-pie", was so called on account of whimsical
drollery.  "A maggoty-pated fellow" is often used to imply a *whimsical* man.

I do not trace the word, as applied to a tune, earlier than the end of the
seventeenth century.  Before that time, tunes of a similar description were
termed *Fancies*.

If your correspondent F.T.P. wishes to have a copy of the tune from my volume,
he is quite welcome.  I append my London address to this Reply, in order that
me may favour me with a communication.
