=====================================
Judge Whiting was greatly respected, not only for his personal character, but also as a fine scholar and an accomplished gentleman. Fortunately, he was able to give his children the advantage of liberal culture. He sent his eldest son, Thomas, to Harvard College.* Intending that his son William should become a member of the same profession to which his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had devoted their lives, he also carefully fitted him to enter College. He devoted much time to the instruction of his daughters, not only in polite literature, but in solid learning. The extent of their education, and the refinement of their manners, were not unfrequently the subject of remark. Of Judge Whiting's daughters, the eldest was married to Capt. Barron of the UnitedStates army, and, after his decease, to Judge Strong of Northampton, father of the late Judge Strong.t His daughter Lydia was married to John Mullekin, Esq., of Lexington, father of the late Dr. Mullekin of Dorchester, M.D.; and his daughter Lucy married Dr. Joseph Hunt, M.D., youngest son of Dea. Simon Hunt of Concord. Dr. Hunt was born 1 March, 1749, graduated at Harvard College 1770, died 27 May, 1812, aged 63. He was a physician at Concord and at Dracut, and for several years was secretary of the Massachusetts Medical Society, and was considered an eminent practitioner. It was to him that his nephew, Col. William Whiting of Concord, was principally indebted for his education. * See Catalogue of Graduates, H.C., 1775. t See IV. Savage, Gen. Die., 224. The children of Judge Whiting were all settled in Massachusetts. FIFTH GENERATION. Children of Judge Thomas Whiting of Concord, and Mary Lake: — I. Thomas of Boston, b. 3 October, 1748; graduated at Harvard College, 1775. For several years he taught the grammar school in Concord. He married Martha Jones. Late in life, he became a merchant in Boston, retaining his summer residence in Concord, where he died 28 September, 1820, aged 72. 2. Mary, who was married twice: 1st, to Capt. Barron of the U. S. army; 2d, to Judge Simeon Strong of Northampton, father of the late Judge Strong. 3. Lydia, who married John Mullekin of Lexington, Mass., father of Dr. Mullekin of Dorchester. 4. John Lake, married Olive, daughter of Ross Wyman of Shrewsbury, 1782. She was born 1762. They removed to Lancaster, where he died. Olive returned to Shrewsbury, and died 14 April, 1842, aged 80: issue seven children (see Hist. of Shrewsbury). 5. Lucy, married Dr. Joseph Hunt, M.D., of Concord, Mass., above named. 6.

John Prentiss, minister of Lancaster. Sec Willard's Lancaster, pa^c 320. William received his early education in Greek, Latin, and mathematics, in Concord, where, under the eye of his father, Judge Thomas Whiting, and by the instruction of his elder brother, Thomas, who kept the grammar school there, he was fitted for college; but the troubles which grew out of the Revolution, and his father's death, caused him to give up his intention of completing his education at college and of entering one of the learned professions. He had eight children, — four sons and four daughters. Children of Deacon Samuel Whiting of Billerica: — 1. Samuel Esq., b., 8 May, 1730.* 2. Timothy, b. 24 February, 1732; d. 12 July, 1799; lived in Lancaster. He served in the French War of 1755, and on the 19th April, 1775, marched side by side with two of his sons, Timothy and John, in the battle of Concord and Lexington, pursuing the British troops on their retreat to Boston. * Dr. John Samuel Whiting, M.D., of Charlestown, Mass., is a son of the late Dr. Augustus W. (M.D.), who was a son of Deacon Samuel W., who was a son of this Samuel, Esq. 3. Henry (officer in the Revolutionary army). 4. Sabine (officer in the Revolutionary army). SIXTH GENERATION. Children of Timothy Whiting of Lancaster :— 1. Timothy, b. 17 June, 1758; was a captain in the Revolutionary army; lived in Lancaster. He accompanied his father and brother John in the battle of Concord and Lexington, on the 19th April, 1775; d. 13 January, 1826. Had ten children. 2. John, b. 24 February, 1760; was a general in the Revolutionary army; lived in Lancaster; d. 3 September, 1810, at Washington. Had eight children. In a volume edited and published by his son, General Henry Whiting, entitled " Revolutionary Orders of General Washington, preserved by him [General John Whiting, his father], while acting as Adjutant," we extract the following: "Col. John Whiting, of the 5th U. S. Infantry (who died in Washington, Sept. 3, 1810), was adjutant of the second regiment of the Massachusetts line, commanded by Lieut.-Col, commandant E. Sproat. He had preserved most, perhaps all, of the orders which his duty obliged him to record; but only a portion of them were found, some ten years after his death, when the editor first determined to take possession of them, and make a selection for publication at some convenient time."
"Col. Whiting," he says, " in 1775, belonged to a ' minute company,' in the town of Billerica, a few miles north of Lexington, and, on the morning of the 19th of April (being then in his 16th year), marched side by side with his father (who had served in the French war of '55), and an elder brother, to the latter place, and shared in the running fight which the British had to maintain in their retreat from Concord. Immediately joining the army at Cambridge, he was under Arnold, on Lake Champlain, in '76, and with Gates's army throughout '77, receiving a commission during the latter year. The remainder of the war, he was with the main army until Washington took the immediate command against Cornwallis in Virginia. He retired to private life at the peace, re-entering the service on the increase of the army, in 1808, as lieut.-colonel of the 4th Infantry."
In " Gardner's Dictionary of Officers of the Army of the United States," published in 1860, at New York, (p. 483), we find the following extract from the army registers, showing the various grades of office in the United States army, — he having held the rank of general in the Revolutionary army, and, having afterwards retired, re-entered the same in 1808.
"John Whiting (Mass.) Lt.-Col. 4 Infantry, 8 July, 1808; Adjutant and Inspector of the army, 17 July, 1809; Colonel 5 Infantry, 31 December, 1809; .died 3 September, 1810, at Washington."

Children of Gen. John Whiting of Lancaster:—
1. Timothy D., b. 1785, d. s. p., 1851. (Captain.)
2. Julia, b. 1787; d. s.p. 1817.
3. Henry, b. 1788. General in the U. S. A.; a brave officer and elegant scholar; d. 1851.
Brig-Gen. A. B. Eaton, U. S. A., under date of May 29, 1871, writes as follows: —
"I send with this the copy of Revolutionary orders of Gen. Washington, collected by the late Gen. Henry Whiting of the U. S. army, to which I invited your attention when I last had the pleasure of seeing you in Washington. Please do me the favor of accepting it. I also enclose the etat de service of Gen, Whiting, also that of his cousin, Lieut.-Col. Levi Whiting, and of his brother, Maj. Fabius Whiting. "I was personally well acquainted with Gen. Henry Whiting, from the year 1832 to the date of his death in 1851. He was a most lovable Christian gentleman, a pure and good man; was pleasant, highly intelligent, interesting and versatile in conversation; was a lover of natural and philosophical science, and had a good degree of accurate special knowledge thereof. He was a brave soldier, with never a word of self-laudation, or any approach to boasting. He performed every duty, in all departments of personal obligation, however unimportant, with exactness, and an undeviating fidelity to an enlightened conscience. He thoroughly guarded the avenues by which temptations to evil might assail, and avoided all practices that might mar the sweet affections of his charming home. As an instance of forethoughtful care in this respect, he would never play any game, not even backgammon, with his wife as an opponent, lest the usually evanescent opposition and strife for victory between them might, by possibility, result in marring the sacred relations, the harmonious oneness, of husband and wife, always beautifully evident in his home. I have written but a short note concerning this honored relative of yours. Please excuse its brevity, as I necessarily write hurriedly, and in the midst of pressing office duties."
This letter, by one of the distinguished officers now in service in the regular army, was accompanied by a volume published at New York and London, in 1844, entitled, "Revolutionary Orders of General Washington, issued during the years 1778 to 1782 inclusive , selected from the MSS. of John Whiting, Lieut. and Adjutant of the 2d Regiment, Massachusetts Line, and edited by his son, Henry Whiting, Lieut-Col. U.S.A."

He was brevetted to a captaincy in 1814, was in the artillery for some years, but for about twenty years has been in the staff, and was brevetted brigadier-general in '48 for his services in Mexico and elsewhere. In addition to his high standing as a citizen and soldier, Gen. Whiting was a man of fine literary tastes, fond of historical research, and, by study and application, had become an excellent scholar."
(Of the children of Gen. Henry Whiting are Lieut. Henry Macomb W., U. S. A., and Lieut. William Danforth W., U. S. N.)

7. Solon, b. 1797.
8. Caroline Lee (Hentz), b. at Lancaster, 1800 (authoress), 1825, m. Professor N. M. Hentz, at Northampton.
The Annals of Lynn (p. 275) say, "Caroline Lee Hentz, one of the most esteemed of American prose writers, descended from this venerable minister of the Lynn Church (Rev. Samuel Whiting). She was a daughter of Gen. John Whiting, who did good service in the Revolution, and died at Washington in 1810; and Gen. Henry Whiting, quite distinguished also for his literary attainments, was a brother of hers. She was born at Lancaster, Mass., in 1800, and was married in 1825, at Northampton, to Mr. N. M. Hentz, a French gentleman of education and talents, who was at that time, in connection with George Bancroft the historian, conducting a seminary at Northampton. Soon after marriage they moved to North Carolina, when Mr. Hentz became a professor in the college at Chapel Hill. They afterwards lived at Covington, Ky., then at Cincinnati, and then at Florence, Ala., where they established a flourishing seminary. In 1843 they removed their school to Tuscaloosa, Fla., and afterwards they resided at Columbus. Ga. Mrs. Hentz died at the residence of her son, Dr. Charles A. Hentz, at Mariana, Fla., in 1856; and within a year afterwards her accomplished husband died at the same place.
Among the most popular works of Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz are the following, of

Brigadier-general Henry Whiting, of the Quartermaster's Department, died at St. Louis, Mo., on the 16th of September. He arrived at St Louis, as we learn from the Republican of the 17th, on Sunday, the 14th, from a tour of official duty in Texas, being in bis usual health. On Tuesday afternoon, while in his room at the Planter's House, he was, without any premonition whatever, striken dead instantaneously. The cause of his death, in all probability, was an affection of the heart His remains were taken to Jefferson Barracks on the 17th, for interment
Gen. Whiting, who was among the oldest officers of the army, was a native of Lancaster, in Massachusetts, a son of Gen. John Whiting, also a native of that place. He was not only an accomplished officer in the department in which he has spent a large portion of his life, but he made extensive scientific and liternry attainments, and was a gentleman of great private worth. In hours stolen from official duties, he was for many years a large contributor to the literature of the country. His articles which from time to time appeared in the North-American Review, were of an eminently practical and useful character, and highly creditable to his scholarship and sound judgment The biographical sketch of the late President Taylor, in a recent number, confined chiefly to his military life, and embracing a graphic description of the extraordinary successes in Mexico, was from Gea Whiting's pen. He published a few years ago an important collection of the General Ordert of Wathington, He was deserving of praise also as a poet and as a dramatic author.
