    I have recently researched the family of Levi Whiting due to my interest in W.H.C. Whiting and his role in the design and construction of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse in North Carolina.

    Please review the following and advise if corrections are required or if you have additional information.

    Levi Whiting was born on 27 Jan 1790 in Lancaster, Worcester, Massachusetts. He died on 3 Aug 1852 in Naugatuck, New Haven, Connecticut. He was buried in Hillside Cemetery, Naugatuck, New Haven, Connecticut.

    Levi was the son of Timothy Whiting (1758–1826) and Abigail Kidder (1759–1798). The Whiting family is descended from a Samuel Whiting (1633-1713) who immigrated from England to Massachussetts.

    Levi was an artilliary officer in the U.S. Army, serving from 1812 until the time of death in 1852. At his death, he was a Lieutenant Colonel in the First Artilliary Regiment, U.S. Army.

    The 1850 census finds the family living in New Utrecht, Kings, New York and lists Levi Whiting (60, Lt. Col., Army), Mary A. (49), William H.C. (29, Lt., Army), Robert E. K. (17), Mary (6), and Anna C. (5).

    Rhode Island coastal artillery batteries from 1903 until 1946 were named in honor of Levi Whiting. The First "Battery Whiting" was a reinforced concrete, Endicott Period 3 inch coastal gun battery on Fort Getty, Newport, Rhode Island. Battery construction started in January 1903, was completed in September 1903, and transferred to the Coastal Artillery for use 7 Jun 1910. Guns and carriages moved in 1942. The second "Battery Whiting" was a reinforced concrete, World War II 3 inch coastal gun battery at Fort Burnside, Newport, Rhode Island. Battery construction began on 5 May 1942, was completed on 15 Sep 1942, and transferred to the Coastal Artillery for use 29 Aug 1942. It was deactivated in 1946.

    Levi married Mary Ann . Mary was born about 1801 in Maine. She died about 1872 in New York.

    The 1860 census finds Mary A. Whiting (60, widow) living in Hartford District 3, Hartford, Connecticut. Listed in this record are Robert Whiting (27, civil engineer), Mary Whiting (16), Anna Whiting (15), and Jasper L. Whiting (32, civil engineer).

    In 1870, Mary A. Whiting (69) is found living with her son Robert's family in Yonkers, Westchester, New York.

    Records indicate that Mary received a widow's pension from the Army from 1853 through 1872, so 1872 is probably her death year.

    Levi and Mary had the following children:
