    Bull embarked for New England in the "Hopewell" Sept 11,
    1635. Was one of the early settlers at Hartford. Was
    first at Boston or Cambridge; accompanied Hooker to Hart-
    ford in 1636; served in the Pequot War 1637. He became
    familiar with the Indian habits and language and was
    therefore peculiarly useful to the early settlers. He was
    an original proprietor and in 1640 his home lot was on the
    south side of the road from George Steele's to the South
    Meadow, his lot being bounded N by that road; E by Richard
    Lyman land; S by Stephen Post; W by Philip Davis or Ward's
    lot. He was master of a vessel at Curacoa 1647-8; juror
    Hfd 1648-9; Winthrop calls him "a godly and discreet man."
    He was in command of the fort at Saybrook when Sir Edmund
    Andros attempted to gain the place for his master, the
    Duke of York, in 1675. The bravery and wisdom which he
    displayed in his resistance to Andros greatly endeared
    Capt. Bull to the people of the Colony as a gallant & ent-
    repid officer.

He removed with his family "from the Bay" to Hartford, and was ordained over the First Church in 1660. In 1669, in consequence of the discussions which agitated the church at that time, Mr. Whiting and others presented a petition to the Assembly "for their approbation, for a distinct walking in Congregational Church Order," which was granted, and in 1670, a new Church was formed, of which Mr. Whiting was chosen pastor, and so continued till his death, September 8th, 1689.

    2.REV. JOHN3 WHITING (WILLIAM2, JOHN1)6,7,8 was born Oct 1635 in Hartford, CT, and died 8 Sep 1689 in Hadley, MA.He married (1) SYBIL COLLINS9 1654 in Cambridge, Mass, daughter of EDWARD COLLINS and MARTHA BAYLIE.She was born Nov 1637 in Cambridge, Mass, and died 4 Jun 1672 in Hartford, CT.He married (2) PHEBE GREGSON 1673 in New Haven, CT, daughter of THOMAS GREGSON and JANE________.She was born 15 Oct 1643 in New Haven, CT, and died 19 Sep 1730 in New Haven, CT.
    Notes for REV. JOHN WHITING:
    John is our direct descendent.See our book, "Our Whiting Heritage" for a more complete narrative.
    Our John married twice, first to Sybil Collins the daughter of Edward and Martha (Baylie) Collins. During their 18-year marriage, John and Sybil had seven children. In 1673, the 38-year-old John married Phebe Gregson, daughter of Thomas and Jane Gregson of New Haven, with whom he had seven additional children. John graduated from Harvard College in 1653 at the age of 18 and several records state he preached several years in and around Salem, Massachusetts before moving to Cambridge. Other records indicate John moved to Cambridge Massachusetts shortly after graduation sometime in 1653/54. In 1660 he moved with his family "from the Bay" to Hartford, CT where he was ordained at the First Congregational Church. (Salem Town Records.)
    According to journals taken from New England Families Memorial, there was a Rev John Whiting who served as the chaplain of the Hartford Colonial Foot forces during the King Philip's War in 1675. The journal further states this John Whiting was killed by Indians on Sept 8, 1690.Other articles record John Whiting died from Indians in Sept 1697, and Sept 1688. We now know that the Rev. John Whiting who was killed by Indians was the descendent of Samuel Whiting of Lynn, Mass., who is no relation to our Hartford Whitings. (Whiting Memoir).

    Notes:


    Nearly a century later, the university was at the centre of a Protestant schism. Many nobles, intellectuals and even commoners saw the ways of the Church of England as being too similar to the Catholic Church and that it was used by the crown to usurp the rightful powers of the counties. East Anglia was the centre of what became the Puritan movement and at Cambridge, it was particularly strong at Emmanuel, St Catharine's Hall, Sidney Sussex and Christ's College.[25] They produced many "non-conformist" graduates who greatly influenced, by social position or pulpit, the approximately 20,000 Puritans who left for New England and especially the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the Great Migration decade of the 1630s. Oliver Cromwell, Parliamentary commander during the English Civil War and head of the English Commonwealth (1649–1660), attended Sidney Sussex.

    According to Wikipedia, The Rev. Hooker died during an "epidemical sickness" in 1647, at the age of 61. The location of his grave is unknown, although he is believed to be buried in Hartford's Ancient Burying Ground. Thomas died 7 July 1647. William Whiting died July 1647. Could it not be that they both died of the same "epidemical sickness"?

    1647: EPIDEMICAL SICKNESS

    In the early summer of 1647 “an epidemical sickness” swept through parts of New England. Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts reported that it seized the victims “like a cold and light fever with it”. On 7 July JAMES’ mentor, the Reverend Thomas Hooker, died at Hartford, Connecticut.

    Historical.
    The following extract is taken from the annual report of the Massachusetts State Board of Health: —
    In the early history of Massachusetts it appears that influenza occasionally prevailed. In 1647, according to Governor Winthrop,: "a malignant fever prevailed, and an epidemic influenza passed through the whole country and universally affected the colonists and natives; but it was not very mortal. Wherein a special providence of God appeared; for, not a family nor but few persons escaping it, our hay and corn had to be lost for want of help; but such was the mercy of God to his people as few died — not above forty or fifty in Massachusetts, and near as many at Connecticut."

    ++++++++++++++
    " In 1647 an epidemic sickness passed through the whole country, affecting the colonists and natives, English, French and Dutch. It began with a cold, and in many was accompanied with a light fever. Such as bled, or used cooling drinks, died. Such as made use of cordials, and more strengthening things, recovered for the most part. It extended through the plantations in America and in the West-Indies. There died in Barbadoes and St. Kitts, five or six thousand each. Whether it was a plague or pestilential fever, it prevailed in tlte islands, accompanied with a great drought, which cut short potatoes and fruits."
    Governor Winthrop, of Massachusetts, in a letter to his friend, Mr. Richard Vines, who had just before removed from New-England to Barbadoes, gave him some account of this epidemic in Massachusetts. • Fortunately Mr. Vines' answer, dated Barbadoes, April 20, 1648, is preserved and printed in Governor Hutchinson's Collection of Papers. In this the writer gives the following account of the epidemic in that island: " The sickness was an absolute plague, very infectious and destroying, insomuch that in our parish there were buried twenty hi a week, and many weeks together fifteen or sixteen. It first seized on the ablest men, both for account and ability of body. Many who had begun and almost finished great sugar-works, who dandled themselves in their hopes, were suddenly laid in the dust, and their estates left unto strangers. Our New-England men here had their shares and so had all nations, especially Dutchmen, of whom died a great company, even the wisest of them. The contagion is well-nigh over; the Lord make us truly thankful for it, and ever mindful of his mercy."
    Here we have a clear and sufficiently precise account of an influenza or epidemic disease w

    ===========================================
    Will of William Whiting died 24 July 1647
    William Whiting was at Hartford in 1636, a wealthy merchant who had been engaged in a patent for lands at Swamscot with Lord Say and Lord Brook. He had wife Susanna, son William and perhaps John before leaving England. Savage says that possibly he came with Thomas Wiggin in 1633, and probably he came from Cambridge MA, since other prominent persons removed thence that year. He was an early member of First Church, and his name is on the Founders Monument of Hartford. In 1637 Whiting was one of the first representatives; in 1641, Assistant; and he served as Treasurer of the Colony from 1643 to his death in 1647, when he was called Major.
    In 1646/1647, Magistrate William Whiting sued Thomas Ford for slander; Thomas was fined more than L4 and costs of court.
    William made several voyages, making his will 20 March 1643 in anticipation of one. A codicil drawn 2 April 1646 also mentioned a voyage, but it may have been only to the Delaware river, where he maintained a trading house, as also at Westfield. An addition to that will was declared 24 July 1647, and he died soon after, for his widow was granted adminisration on 2 September 1647.
    The probate record shows: "Whiting, William, Hartford.

    Inv. L2854-00-00 taken 20 April 1643. I, William Whiting, doe intend a voyage

    presently unto sea. I give to my wife halfe my household stuffe of all kinds,

    and one fourth parte of my personal estate, and her widdowes estate in my now

    dwelling house and lands at Hartford untill my sonne William be 21 years of age;

    and after, if she continue a widow, I give her the halfe of my sd howse and land

    for life. I give to my sonne William L100 more than I give to either my sonne

    John or Samuel; I give to John & Samuel L100 more to each than I give to my

    daughter Sarah or Mary. I give L20 to Mr. Hooker, L10 to Mr. Stone, L5 to

    mending the Highway betwixt my hwse and the meeting house, also L5 to some godly

    poore of the towne. I desire Mr. John Haynes, Mr. Edward Hopkins, Mr. John

    Webster, with Mr. Hooker & Mr. Stone, to be Overseers. Alls, I doe bequeath unto

    my father and mother L20. and if the bee dead my mind is it should be given unto

    my brother and his children.. William Whiting.

    "2 April 1646. Intending another voyage, my will is, my son Joseph shall have an

    equal portion with sonnes John & Samuel. I give William L50 more; to Mary, L10

    more; to my sister Wiggin, L5; and to each of her children L3; I give to Margery

    Parker L10, my former will to remain in force. William Whiting In presence of

    Edward Hopkins.

    "William Whiting, upon his death bed: It is my minde that the children which God

    hath given me since the will was made wch I have in Mr. Hopkins hands, shall

    have an equal portion in all my estate together with the rest of my children as

    I have to these devised. Also I confirme L10 given to Mr. Hopkins, L10 to Mr.

    Webster, L10 to Mr. Hooker's Children, L10 to Mr. Stone's Children, L10 to the

    poor, L5 to Hartford, & L5 to the other two towns, Wyndsor & Wethersfield, and

    L5 to Mr. Smith's Children, of Wethersfield. William Whiting In presence of

    Henry Smith, James Cole. 24th July 1647.

    Paper on file compared with original.
    "2 September 1647, Mrs. Whiting is admitted to Adms. according to the will.
    "3 October 1654. Mr. Webster, Mr. Stone, Mr. Fitch, Mr. Will Whiting, John Whiting, presenting to this court a distributiyon of Mr. Whitings estate agreed upon by them (signed & sealed), bearing date 30 Sep 1654, this Court allowes to be recorded.
    "29 October 1667. Whereas, Mr. Alexander Briant and Mrs. Susannah Fitch have, by an Instrument of Resignation bearing date 27 June 1662, resigned their Interest in and unto the estate of Mr. William Whiting, Decd, that hath bee in ye possession and Improvement of sd. Susannah, in the time of her Widowhood, unto the Children of ye sd. Mr. Whiting, and they desire the favor of the Court to have Deacon Edward Stebbing & Thomas Bull as Adms. on the remayning part of ye Estate."
    Further probate records pertaining to this family are found under Nathaniel Collins: "Court Rec. p. 92 - 4 Sep 1684: Mr. John Whiting, Mr. Joseph Whiting, Mr. John King in Right of Mrs. Sarah his wife, and Mr. Nathaniel Collins in Right of Mrs. Mary his wife, are plaintiffs; Corporall Thomas Bissell, Defendant; in an Action of the Case of unlawfull detaining from them their proportion of Land now in your possession, sometime the Land of their Father Mr. William Whiting, Decd, given them by the will of their Father.
    1:385 William Whiting. Court Record Page 92 - 4 Sep 1684: Mr. John Whiting, Joseph Whiting, John King in right of Sarah his wife, Mr. Nathaniel Collins in right of Mary his wife, Plaintiff; Capt. Thomas Bissell Defendent. For unlawful detention of Lands, their Proportion, sometime the land of their Father, Mr. William Whiting, Decd. Nonsuited."

    In the Granberry Family, the MARGERY PARKER mentioned in the 1646 will above is

    identified as the wife of William Parker; both were born in England. William

    died at Saybrook CT 21 December 1686, and Margery died at Saybrook 6 December

    1680. The authors comment on the L10 legacy: "This was a good-sized legacy to

    receive from a man, even though wealthy, who had a wife and children; and though

    no relationship is mentioned, it is likely that Margery was connected in some

    way with the Whitings or that they brought her to this country as a member of

    their household. The Parker children were all recorded at Saybrook, though the

    older ones must have been born at Hartford. The eldest was born in 1637, so the

    marriage of William and Margery probably occurred soon after they came to

    Hartford."

    The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire gives information about Capt. Thomas Wiggin, gentleman. Wiggins witnessed delivery of the Vines patent 25 June 1630, the Hilton patent 7 July 1631, and of Piscataqua 22 October 1631. He was in England 31 August 1632, and there on 19 November 1632 when he wrote to Sec. Cooke estimating the English in N.E. as about 2000. A week later a patent was granted by the Council of N.E. In March 1632/1633 he was called the chief agent (in England) of the honest men about to buy out the Bristol men's plantation at Piscataqua and plant 500 people before Michaelmas. Winthrop, on 10 November 1633, records his arrival at Salem in the James with about 30 men. He went directly to Piscataqua from where he wrote a letter in November 1633. As agent for Lords Say and Brooke and in his own interest, he was opposed to the Mason claims, and in time became a strong adherent of Massachusetts and a help in extending their power. His wife Katherine was willed L5, and each of her children L5 by her brother Mr. William Whiting.

    Descendants of William Whiting


    Generation No. 1


    1. MAJOR WILLIAM2 WHITING (JOHN1)1,2,3 was born Abt. 1609 in Suffolk Cty, England, and died 24 Jul 1647 in Hartford, CT. He married SUSANNAH WIGGIN Abt. 1632 in England. She was born Abt. 1609 in England, and died 8 Jul 1673 in Middlesex, CT.

    Notes for MAJOR WILLIAM WHITING:
    We've elected to begin the Whiting journey with Major William Whiting, our immigrant ancestor. We believe William was born in Suffolk County, England sometime around 1609 and is believed to be the son of John and Isobel Whiting. As one of the founding fathers of Hartford Connecticut, it is unknown when William arrived in the colonies. According to Joseph Hunter in "Suffolk Emigrants" William's connection with the American colonies is recorded as early as 1632 when he and several other prominent men in England bought land here, a large land holding he would retain until his death. (Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England). It is entirely possible he came to the colonies with his sister Katherine/Catherine and her husband Thomas Wiggin, on the "James" that arrived in Salem, Massachusetts on 10 November 1633, but no records or other publications have been found to verify this.

    William's early life in Hartford was pretty well documented and he held many enviable positions among the early settlers of Hartford. According to the noted genealogist, Joseph Hunter, he was "one of the most respectable of the settlers (of Hartford) in 1636, one of the civil and religious Fathers of Connecticut, a man of wealth and education, styled in the records, William Whiting, gentleman." (Suffolk Emigrants)

    For more information on William and Susannah see "Our Whiting Heritage" book located on Randys' Web Page.

    The following information is on William's sister Katherine/Catherine Whiting and excerpts were taken from The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633 pages 1982 - 1985.

    Thomas Wiggin's connection with the Whiting family is through his wife Katherine/Catherine Whiting, our immigrant ancestor's sister. Their marriage certificate gives her name as Catherine, but Thomas Wiggin's will spells her name as Katherine. It is believed Thomas Wiggin first arrived in the Colonies in Piscataqua sometime in 1630. He returned to England in early 1632 and married our immigrant ancestor sister, Katherine/Catherine Whiting, in London on 11 Jul 1633. Records show that Katherine and Thomas arrived at Salem, Massachusetts on the "James" 10 November 1633 and settled in what would become New Hampshire.

    Thomas Wiggin, besides being a man of wealth, also was a great friend of John Winthrop of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Sir John Cooke of England. In a letter he wrote to Sir John, dated 19 Nov 1631, he described the rich resources found in New England and gave tremendous credit to the colonist, both young and old, who accomplished more in three years than others have done in seven times with ten times less expense. He is often called the founder of New Hampshire and has been mentioned in various records and journals as William's agent. Some of the public positions Thomas held were, Governor of Piscataqua (Dover), Magistrate (1650, 1657, 1660, 1661 and again in 1663), and Commissioner at Piscataqua in 1641.

    Children of WILLIAM WHITING and SUSANNAH WIGGIN are:
    i. WILLIAM3 WHITING4, b. Abt. 1632, England; d. 1699, London, Eng.
    Notes for WILLIAM WHITING:
    William was probably born in England before William & Susannah immigrated. It is unclear when he went back to England, but he went back presumably as a business partner in his father’s trading business, and became an influential merchant in London. In 1686 he was appointed by the Assembly of Connecticut as their agent to present their petition to the King. "He exerted himself in behalf of the colony and received the thanks of the Assembly for his services, and was requested to continue them." (Goodwin pg. 330).

    No concrete information has been discovered on whom William married. In a letter written by Thomas Fairchild, dated December 1662, to John Winthrop of Hartford (who was in London at the time) a Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting, of the city of London, was mentioned. Some genealogist, such as Nathaniel Goodwin, believes this Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting was the wife of William. We do know that William's son Joseph, was appointed administrator of his estate when William died in London in 1699. (Goodwin pg. 143).

    " It is indeed a blessing, when the virtues

    Mrs. Mary Anna Boardman was the descendant of a worthy ancestry, whose names arc conspicuous in our country's annals.
    The Honorable William Whiting, her father's remote progenitor, and Major General John Mason, to whom her mother's lineage is traced, are both named among " some of the principal characters who undertook," in the year 1036, "the great work of settling Connecticut, and were the civil and religious fathers of the colony."* These, we are told, were " the first class of settlers," and all, except the ministers, were chosen Magistrates, or Governors of the colony.
    Mr. Whiting came to America from England, and set

    tied at Newtown, (now Cambridge,) in Massachusetts. He was a devoted friend and disciple of that patriarch of the Puritans, the Rev. Thomas Hooker, called "The light of the Western Churches."* When Mr. Hooker, after his arrival (1633) in America, having for three years resided at Newtown, removed (1636) to Connecticut, with about a hundred of his company, Mr. Whiting was one of his cooperators, in founding the colony at Hartford. In a list of the original land-holders in that colony, in February, 1639, his namef is found; and, in various existing manuscript and printed documents and books that relate to the foundation of this settlement, frequent mention is made of him, as one of the " fathers of the colony."

    William Whiting was one of the civil and religious fathers of Connecticut, a man of wealth and education, styled in the records as William Whiting, gentleman. In 1642 he was one of the magistrates, in 1641 treasurer of the colony, which he retained until his death. He used a somewhat similar coat of arms as Samuel Whiting of Lyn Massachusetts.
    New England register vol 106 p. 259; Third part of a roll of arms registered by the Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic and Genealogical Society; #210; WHITING, Major William, an original proprietor of Hartford, living 1687; arms: Azure a leopard's face gold between two flaunches ermine, in chief three bezants.
    Attempt was made in 1967 at the Herald's College in London to establish these arms with Whitings on file there, but nothing was found.

    !QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED TO BE OUR WILLIAM WHITING ON THE ENGLISH SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC: From information in Conn., it is known that William Whiting was a man of wealth, and distinction. He had a coat of arms registered among those of early emigrants, and to be so registered they had to prove they were entitled to it. Naoma Manwaring Harker has contacted the officials there,but they have no information at this late date as to what proof or records William offered at his registration. The picture shows it was similar to that of John Whiting, whom we know came from Lincolnshire, England. A researcher from the Genealogical Society went to England and was empowered to go th the Herald's College in London to see if arms of William could be established with the Whitings on file there, but no connection was made.
    It is documented that William had a wife Susannah, whom he had married in England and that he came to America with two children, William and Samuel who were both born in England, the next son John being born 1635 in Hartford, Conn. This son later returned to and lived in London, and died in 1699 there. Copies of some of his letters to his father William (the letters are not addressed to his father William) are in the Conn. State Library (The Edwin Whiting Org has copies of them), but they give no indication as to the exact "Parish" or locality in London, nor to any relatives of the family there. (?Coleman Street Ward)
    It is also documented that William had a sister (called Sister Wiggins in his will) Catherine, who married 11 July 1633 in London. This marriage has been found and parish registers searched. While Whitings abound, no connection has been made.
    Thomas Wiggins and William Whiting, his brother-in-law were proprietors of the Squamscot Patent (See Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire, page 233).
    Thomas Wiggin had been in America but returned to England in 1633 where he married Catherine Whiting.

    POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN DOING RESEARCH IN ENGLAND ON WILLIAM WHITING:
    1. He would be born around 1600-1605. (Could vary)
    2. You must establish that he had a sister Catherine with her birth date and place.
    3. You must consider that the sister Catherine was married in London in 1633 she would not, as a very young girl be living there alone. So either her parents or some relatives were in the vicinity with her.
    4. You should find the marriage of William to Susannah, date and place before accepting any christening of a William.
    5. You must find the christenings for William and Susannah's two sons, William, no doubt the oldest, and Samuel, both said to be born in England.
    6. Naoma Harker has seen a statement that William, son of William and Susannah was born in London. He came to America with his parents but returned to London where he became a merchant (my source for this is not at hand).
    7. The usual references on the former home of William, Sr., (as used for all early New England emigrants) give nothing of his birth place. I have seen the following reference: "William Whiting, known as Major, came from Boxford Sussex to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1633, one of the original settlers of Hartford in 1636, died 1647. (No reference as to the origin of this information was given).

    The English Gazetteer shows no parish Boxford in Sussex. There is one in Suffolk and one in Berkshire. Suffolk would be most likely.

    8. When William made his will in 1643, he mentioned his parents "if they were living". He had apparently been out of touch with them for a long time. This might suggest he had left home and gone to London in his early youth, but they might also have been in London.
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    ***Great care should be excercised in accepting a connection in this line. The name Whiting is common, and William's may be found with birth dates near the proper one, but the above mentioned factors must be considered, especially that of a sister Catherine, and his own marriage to a Susannah.

    James Savage states in "A Genealogical Dictionary of New England"
    "William Whiting's sister was (probably) Thomas Wiggins Wife. (Catherine)"

    Major William was an original proprietor of Hartford; his home lot in 1639 was on the east side of the street, now Governor Street.
    In 1633 "the Bristol men had sold their interest in Piscatuqua to the Lords Say and Brook, George Wyllys, and William Whiting, who continued Thomas Wiggins their Agent." Mr Whiting retained his interest in Piscataqua until his death, and was one of the most efficient promoters of the trade and of the commerce of Hartford. He was also engaged in a patent for land for Swampscott with Lords Say and Brook.
    He was one of the committee, who for the first time sat with the Court of Magistrates in 1637; freeman Feb 1640; Treasurer of the Colony 1641- 1647; Chosen Magistrate 1642- 1647.

    In 1638, he was allowed to trade ------) with the Indians; and he was appointed with Major ( ------) Mason and others to erect fortifications in 1642, and the same year he was appointed with Mason to collect tribute of the Indians on Long Island and on the Main.
    He was a merchant of wealth and had dealings with Virginia and Piscataqua; had a trading house at the Delaware River and also at Westfield.
    He probably died soon after an addition to his last will was made, July 24, 1647.
    His widow Susanna - married (2) in 1650 - Samuel Fitch of Hartford.

    In Suffolk Emigrants, Joseph Hunter writes that the Whiting family came from Suffolk County, England in the vicinity of Basford. Mormon ancestral records list William Whiting, son of John, as being born around 1600. William Whiting's connection with the American colonies is recorded as early as 1632 when he and others in England bought land there. He immigrated by 1636 and was one of the first settlers of Hartford, Connecticut. Frequently mentioned in Goodwin's Genealogical Notes,2 he is called one of the "civil and religious Fathers of Connecticut" and is styled in the records as "William Whiting, Gentleman." William Whiting served as Treasurer of the Colony from 1641 to 1647, and was chosen as Magistrate in 16422.
    Several sources report that William Whiting bore the title of Major when he died in July of 1647. In his will, he mentions his wife Susannah, sons William, John, Samuel, and Joseph and daughters Sarah and Mary. Refer to Attachment 1. William Whiting died as a man of means; his estate inventory was taken on 20 April, 1647 and was worth ££2854.00, a great sum at that time. He showed his generosity by leaving twenty pounds to the church, five pounds towards the mending of the highways between his home and the Meeting House, and five more to "some godly poore in the Town."

    From the Winthrop family papers

    In this detailed account written only a few days after the events described in it, William Whiting of the Connecticut colonial forces informs Governor John (commonly known as "Fitz-John") Winthrop of Connecticut of the devastating attack by French and Indian forces on the Massachusetts frontier settlement of Deerfield on the night of 29 February 1703/4.

    In the hours before dawn, traveling across a winter landscape covered by deep snow, a large and diverse force of French and Canadian soldiers, together with Native American allies drawn from many tribes, fell upon sleeping Deerfield. The attackers managed to enter the stockade that protected the settlement (here referred to as "the garrison") by the aid of snow drifted up against the wall and a wild and confused house-to-house battle followed. As Whiting informs Winthrop, reinforcements from Massachusetts settlements further south were ambushed when they came to the aid of the beleaguered town, and without snowshoes they were unable to pursue the retreating attackers through three feet of snow.

    Although often referred to by later generations as the "Deerfield Massacre," this term is not used in Whiting's account and apparently was not used to describe the raid until the 19th century. Of most concern to contemporaries who described the assault as "the destruction of Deerfield" or here as "the mischeif at Deerefield" was the very large number of captives taken--more than 100 men, women and children--of whom only about half ever returned to New England.

    In a postscript, Major Whiting notes: "Mr. Williams his wife and Sev[e]n children Carryd away." Here he refers to the Reverend John Williams, who after his return from captivity would write the most famous account of the attack, The Redeemed Captive Returned to Zion, published in 1707.

    Notes:
    1. William migrated from England to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1633 with Thomas Wiggins. Wiggins had been in America before. Another source says that William first came to Cambridge in 1631 and later was an original settler of Hartford (New England Register vol. 103 pg 35).
    2. An original settler at Hartford in 1636. He came to Hartford with Thomas Hooker, a reverend with the Puritans. Both William Whiting and Thomas Hooker were nonconformists. William was a wealthy merchant dealing with grain from America to England. He had a trading house on the Delaware River and at Westfield and had dealings with Virginia. He owned land in Connecticut and New Hampshire.
    3. Dep. from Hartford to Connecticut General Court, 1637; a member of the General Court in 1637.
    4. In 1638 he was allowed to trade with the Indians and in 1642 appointed to collect tribute of the Indians on Long Island and on the mainlands.
    5. In 1640 William was admitted as a freeman. In 1644 he was listed as a merchant. In 1645 he became the constable in Hartford.
    6. William served as the second colonial treasurer of Connecticut 1641-1647.
    7. William was a Major in the colonial forces.
    8. William served as commissioner of the United Colonies for Connecticut 1646-7.
    9. William was a leading man in the Connecticut colony and was of a gentleman's status. He was a man of wealth and prominence. His estate at his decease was worth 9000 pounds sterling. He made several trips to England.
    10. William made his will on 20 March 1643. Codicils were added on 2 April 1646 and on 24 July 1647. (William amended his wills before his voyages at sea to England.) The codicils indicate he had other children since the making of his original will. The will was recorded on 24 April 1649. William named his children as William, John, Samuel, Sarah, Mary, and Joseph. Joseph was likely born after the initial will was made as he was not mentioned in it; he was provided for in a codicil. William had a "sister Wiggins" who had children. He also gave money to Margery Parker, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Webster, to the children of Mr. Hooker, to the children of Mr. Stone, to the poor of Hartford, to the town of Hartford, to the poor of Windsor, to the poor of Wethersfield. Mrs. Whiting had the will probated on 2 September 1647. William left money to his father and mother (in his 1643 will) if they were still living, and if not, the money was to go to his brother. The parents and brother were not named. On 29 October 1647 Mrs. Susanna (Whiting) Fitch by an instrument of resignation dated 27 June 1662 resigned her interest in the estate of Mr. William Whiting, deceased. On 5 October 1654, Mr. Webster, Mr. Stone, Mr. Fitch, Mr. William Whiting, Mr. John Whiting, presented to the court a distribution of Mr. Whiting's estate agreed upon by them.
    11. William was a man of weath and education, one of the most respectable settlers in 1636 and one of the civil and religious fathers of Connecticut.
    12. He was closely associated with George Wyllys and Thomas Wiggin.
    13. Searches made by James Cunningham in England in 1949 - Deptford St. Nicholas, Kent 1592 to 1600 - produced no trace of William Whiting. He did find the marriage of John Whiting and Margaret Bonner on 22 December 1586 in Boston, Lincolnshire. According to the will of this John Whiting, he did not have a son William. The researcher stated that it is possible that the Whiting family was in Boston, Lincoln before the registers began.
    14. A researcher located in the Bishop of Lincoln probate court a will dated 21 October 1617 (1617, i, folio 239) for John Whiting the elder of Boston, woollendraper. John named a daughter Margarett, wife of Richard Carter; wife Isabell who receives his house in Boston; son James; son Samuel who was at Cambridge; son John; daughter Awdree, wife of Robert Wright. John is the eldest son. His son James is not yet 23. John marked, not signed, the will. Proved on 31 Oct 1617. Witnessed by William Whiting. No son William or daughter Catherine.
    15. A William Whiting of Boston also left a will dated 1618. He christened a son William at Boston in 1602. The child christened in 1602 cannot be the emigrant because he would have known that his father was dead when he wrote his own will in 1643. However, he could be related. William's 1618 will stated that he was a woollen draper of Boston, had a wife Margaret, youngest son Isaac (minor), son Robert, son William, brother Francis Whiting, and cousins John Whiting and Richard Carter. The researcher assumed that the John Whiting who died in 1617 (the father of the emigrant Samuel Whiting) and the William Whiting who died in 1618/9 were brothers. However, William's 1618 will says that John is his cousin. "There was another brother Francis who may have had children and no doubt there were many other Whitings nearly related. The name occurs frequently in Lincolnshire probate courts." (Letter dated 18 June 1958)
    16. William Whiting was using a similar coat of arms as John Whiting from Boston, Lincolnshire and John's son, the Reverend Samuel Whiting who migrated to New England and lived at Lynn, Massachusetts. Therefore, there is likely a connection between the ancestral William and these Whiting men of Boston, Lincolnshire. Several letters written by Willliam Jr., his son, are sealed with a coat of arms which are a variation of those used by the family of Whitings of Boston, Lincoln. The coat of arms is described in "Roll of Arms" registered by Committee of Heraldry, New England Historical and Genealogical Society. Major William Whiting, original proprietor of Hartford, liv. 1687 - azure a leopard face gold between two flaunches ermine in chief 3 bezants; crest a demi-eagle displayed with two heads proper (New England Register vol. 106 pg. 258). The family's coat or arms were quartered at a Chantry of St. Lawrence at Leake, which is not far from Boston, Lincolnshire. Gordon C. Whiting's book includes a graphic of the coat of arms for Thomas Whiting (1400s) and his descendants in Leicestershire and Essex (page 35). It is very similar to the coat of arms claimed by William Whiting (page 55). See Heraldic Journal, volume 1, pages 61, 160.
    17. William was possibly living near his sister Catherine in London at the time she married in 1633 and returned to America with her and her husband in 1633.
    18. Researcher in England found the Whiting surname popular in St. Magnus the Martyr parish in London. But no Catherine Whiting was listed.
    19. A marriage found for a William and Susan Whiting. "William Whiting of St. Mary Magdalene Canterbury, woolendraper, bachelor, 23, son of William Whiting, Alderman of Canterbury, who consents, and Susan Sabin, virgin, 17, dau of Alvert Sabin, Alderman of Canterbury, who also consents. To marry at St. Mary Bredman's Canterbury." William was christened on 2 April 1615 at St. Mary Magdalene, son of William. He had a sister Katherine christened on 19 Sep 1619. But the William and Susan Whiting who married in Canterbury also christened children in Canterbury down to 1653 and cannot, therefore, be the ancestors who were in America by 1633. (Letter dated 18 June 1958)
    20. The 1648 will of James Whiting of Boston, woollen draper was examined. He named his wife Mary, son John (minor), son Samuel (minor), brother Samuel Whiting now in New England, sister Wright, brother John Whiting. So he was the son of the John Whiting who wrote the 1617 will.
    21. A researcher stated he checked subsidy and assessment lists for London and found a William Whiting living on Thames Street in St. Michael Queenhithe parish in 1638 [but the ancestral William was in New England then]. The researcher thought this could be the ancestor. Another person of interest was Samuel Whiteing of St. Magnus parish which adjoined and was later absorbed with St. Margaret New Fish Street. The registers of St. Michael Queenhithe do not start until October 1653. (Letter dated 27 June 1958) Samuel Whiting of St. Magnus parish was a freeman of the Fishmongers' Company and was a member of the City of London Livery Companies in 1641. A William Whiting was a freeman of the Blacksmiths' Company. A Joseph, son of Samuel Whiting, attained freeman status in the Fishmonger's Company in 1651. This Samuel Whiting could be the same man who christened 11 childeren in St. Magnus the Martye parish. The researcher searched the records of the Fishmongers' Company. He thought that the William Whiting admitted to the Freedom in 1621 was likely the emigrant and that William was a brother of Samuel (whose family was in St. Magnus parish). The lead led to a search in Stroud, Gloucester. The "Register of Apprenticeship Bindings & Admissions to the Freedom, 1614-1668" for the Fishmongers' Company of London included: 18 June 1621 William Whitinge, late apprentice to John Whitinge, claiming his freedom by service, is admitted and sworne; 15 November 1619 Samuel Whitynge, late apprentice to John Cole, claiming his freedom by service, is admitted and sworne; 29 November 1624 Thomas Whiteinge, son of Thomas Whiting of the Stroude Water in Gloucester, yeoman, put himself apprentice to Thomas Roberts fishmonger for nine years from michaelmas last 1624. The researcher searched Stroud parish (which is incomplete before 1640) and Painswick in Gloucester. He found a William christened in 1622; no Catherine. He studied wills for Whiting testators of the Stroud and Painswick area. Nothing.
    22. A John Dumbleton may have been a servant of William Whiting for two years before coming to New England and then for another 4 or 5 years in New England (History of Windsor, CT pg. 49, 155).
    23. Longden's "Northamptonshire and Rutland Clergy" include information about Samuel, son of the John Whiting of Boston, Lincolnshire, who left the 1617 will. The bio for Samuel stated he was the son of John Whiting, merchant of Boston, Lincoln and was christened there on 21 November 1597. Graduated from Emmanuel College at Cambridge. Ordained a priest in 1621 at Peterborough. Served as a minister at Lynn, Norfolk and rector of Skirbeck, Lincoln, in 1625. Went to Boston, New England in April 1636 and then to Lynn, Massachusetts where he was a minister from 1638 to 1679. He died there on 11 December 1679. His eldest son John Whiting was a rector at Leverton, Nottingham.
    24.Steven Whiting Hatch stated that "Suffolk Emigrants" declares that the Whiting family came from Suffolk County, England in the vicinity of Basford. (There isn't a parish named Basford in Suffolk, but there is a parish named Boxford. A christening for a William, son of William and Elizabeth Whiting, was found in Aldringham parish dated 9 September 1600.). Holmes' "Dictionary of Ancestral Heads of New England Families" states he came from Boxford, Sussex. (There isn't a parish named Boxford in Sussex but there is a parish named Boxgrove.)
    25. Two old undated, unsigned pieces of paper located by Evelyn W. Baird in 1998 while at the Connecticut Historical Society stated that William's wife Susanna was Susanna Wiggins. The researcher did not know the origin of this information.
    26. "Whitings in England Before 1650" by Gordon C. Whiting (1978) poses that the most likely place of origin (due to William's nonconformity) is East Anglia (which can include Lincolnshire).
    27. Gordon C. Whiting states that Miss M. Packman located the administration of William Whiting's estate in England (1648) and that he left "any and all English property" to his wife. Miss Packman also believes that William could be closely connected to the Whitings of Boxford and Hadleigh in Suffolk or to the Whitings of Boston (and Deptford, Kent) in Lincolnshire. Gordon Whiting states that the Whitings of Boston, Lincolnshire loaned money to the colony of Massachusetts. In Gordon's book are listings of Whitings by county that Miss Packman collected. Many are from Lincolnshire and London--two prime areas for William Whiting.
    28. A family tree found on FamilyTreeMaker concerning the Descendants of John Whiting states that William Whiting was born in Boxford "Sussex" and died in 1647 in Hartford, Connecticut. His wife Susannah Wiggin was born in 1609 in Milford, Connecticut and married William in 1635 in Hartford. Also claims that William's son William was born in 1631 in Milford, Connecticut and his daughter Sarah was born in 1632 in the same place. This pedigree seems to contain multiple errors and speculation.
    29. The coat of arms used by William Whiting Jr. matches perfectly with the description of the coat of arms used by the Giles Whiting family of Etton, Northamptonshire. Giles was the rector of Etton and died there in 1627. According to the burial entry for Giles' wife Margerie, the couple had 41 grandchildren by that year. Only 11 of these children were listed in the 1619 heraldic visitation for Leicester. Giles' sons John and Timothy and one of Timothy's sons were also clergymen with the Church of England. One of Giles' grandsons, Nathaniel Whiting, emigrated to Massachusetts about the same time as did William Whiting. Giles Whiting left a will in 1627 (Church of England. Consistory Court of the Diocese of Peterborough Probate records, 1541-1858 (Salt Lake City, Utah : Filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, 1958) (FHL British film 174844)). The will did not mention William, but it also did not name all of Giles' grandchildren. Giles Whiting's pedigree was also found in the 1634 visitation of Essex. Giles and his two sons who became clergymen are found in Henry Isham Longden's Northamptonshire and Rutland clergy from 1500 (Northampton, England : Archer & Goodman, 1938-1943) (FHL British book 942.5 D3L v. 15).

    ===========================================

    Margery, m. bef. 1637 William Parker; lived Hartford and Saybrook
    Posted by: Duane Boggs (ID *****6286)Date: February 20, 2011 at 11:50:26
    of 1716

    On or about April 2, 1646, William Whiting of Hartford, in what would later become Connecticut, wrote a Will. He made a bequest of 10 pounds to a Margery Parker. I believe this was likely the same woman as the Margery who had married William Parker before 1637, resided for a time in Hartford, but then had moved to Saybrook before 1646. Many, if not most, Parker researchers suggest that Margery's maiden name was Pritchard (a/k/a Prichard).

    I have recently found an abstract of the William Whiting Will at the following source:

    http://books.google.com/books?id=2rOoX4UHRxAC&pg=PA97&lpg=PA97&dq=saybrook+%22Margery+Parker%22&source=bl&ots=xqJwJPXncC&sig=I4DjLOULlQ9JqSk9aAKpqHqNFdA&hl=en&ei=XlRhTamDHYqr8Abj1ZCxDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CCoQ6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=saybrook%20%22Margery%20Parker%22&f=false

    "A Catalogue of the Names of the First Puritan Settlers of the Colony of ...", by Royal Ralph Hinman, at p. 97:

    “Whiting, William, Hartford - was a member of the General Court in 1637. The Court ordered him to supply 100 pounds of beef (for Hartford) to carry on the Pequot war, in 1637. He was treasurer of the colony in 1641 to 1647. . . . . . His estate at his decease was over £9000 sterling. In 1649 [DAB: sic-is this a typo for 1647? LDS and World Connect trees all suggest an important date (of Will? Probate? Death? Burial?) of July 24, 1647] he made his will. His children were William, John, Samuel, Sarah, Mary and Joseph. Joseph appears to have been born after the will was made, and he provided for him by a codicil to his will. He had a sister Wiggins who had children. He gave £10 to Margery Parker, £10 to Mr. Hopkins; £10 to Mr. Webster; £10 to the children of Mr. Hooker; £10 to the children of Mr. Stone; £10 to the poor of Hartford; £5 to the town of Hartford; £5 to the poor of Windsor; £5 to the poor of Wethersfield, and £5 to the children of the Rev. H. Smith, of Wethersfield. His son William was a merchant in London, and sold the lands he received by his father to Siborn Nichols, of Witham, in England.” Cyprian Silborn NICHOLS b: ABT 1620 in Witham, Essex, England

    I have also found an as-yet unverified statement that William Whiting's widow, Susannah, died July 08, 1673 in Hartford.

    The Saybrook Vital Records have a record of the births of William Parker's children, and state "Margery, wife of William [Parker] Sr, died Dec 6, 1680". See
    Saybrook Vital Records from Barbour, 1668-1852 - P, transcribed by Coralynn Brown.

    Many, if not most, Parker researchers suggest that Margery's maiden name was Pritchard (a/k/a Prichard). I am presently formulating a theory that Margery (Pritchard) Parker might have been the sister of Susannah (MNU) Whiting, wife of William.

    Please note that the abstract of the Will also states that William Whiting had a "sister Wiggins" who had children. I believe that some researchers have mis-interpreted this reference and have reached a faulty deduction that Susannah (MNU) Whiting was born a Wiggins. I find this to be a less reasonable interpretation than the following alternative.

    In 1647, a man could use the term "sister" to refer to a full sister (shared

    parents), a half-sister (only one shared parent), a step-sister (no shared

    parents), a sister-in-law (e.g., married to one's brother), a sister-in-law (the

    sister of one's wife), or a sister-in-law (the wife of one's wife's brother). So

    which would be most likely to be remembered by a man in his Will? I think the

    most likely response is that he was referring to his own married sister and her

    children (who would have been William Whiting's nieces and/or nephews). There is

    a possibility (but not a probability) that William Whiting had married the

    sister of his brother-in-law Wiggins (i.e., WW's sister married a Wiggins and WW

    married the sister of that Wiggins). While there are certainly some instances of

    such marriages, they were certainly not the most common, or the norm.

    Because the abstract does not state that Margery Parker was a "sister", it is likely that the Will itself did not contain any such explicit language. Nonetheless, I believe that it is more likely than not that Margery was somehow related to William Whiting, and possibly through his wife.

    Consider the other bequests in the Will. The "Mr. Hopkins" is almost certainly a reference to Edward Hopkins, a founder of Hartford and sometime governor (and who reportedly had married an Ann Yale). The "Mr. Webster" is almost certain referring to John Webster, another Hartford founder and a magistrate. Thus we see gifts to two men who were among the civic leaders, and with whom WW would have had frequent contact (and likely friendship). The bequests to the children of Hooker (i.e., Rev. Thomas), of Stone (i.e., Rev. Samuel) and of the Rev. H. Smith (of Wethersfield) all fall into the category of the clergy and/or ministers of the Puritan flocks. The gifts to the poor are obviously charitable gifts.

    So why would William Whiting leave a gift to a woman, Margery Parker, and not to her husband, William Parker (formerly of Hartford, but by 1647 of Saybrook)? I believe it is because Margery was a relative of William Whiting's wife, Susannah. The most likely relative would be that Susannah and Margery were sisters.

    Therefore, I would propose as a theory that William Whiting's wife was born Susannah Pritchard. Of course this needs further research, but this theory is statistically more likely than the notion that she was Susannah Wiggins.

    If anyone has any information that would shed light on these issues? Please share by posting here or by contacting me directly at duaneaboggs@live.com.

    FAMILY OF ALEXANDER BRYAN
    On page 7 of this work the Judge states that he purchased in London a deed which has been preserved among the papers of the descendants of WilHam Penn. This deed is printed on pages 8 to 10 of the Bryan pamphlet. This document dated July 20, 1663, is a conveyance from Richard Bryan of Milford in New England and his father Alexander Bryan also of Milford to Edward Baldwyn of Beconsfield in the county of Bucks in consideration of i 40 "All those twoe messuages or tenements and garden with all the outhouses " appurten nts thereunto belonging situate lying " being in the North Streete of Wendover, in the said county of Bucks, and now or late in the occupation of the widow Ovyatt (?) or her underten nt or underten nts which said messuage or tennements were given to Anne Bryan, mother of the said Richard Bryan deceased, " to the said Richard Bryan " their heires by the last will " testament of Richard Baldwyn of Dundridge, in the said County of Buck, deceased." From these documents it will be seen that Anne wife of Alexander Bryan, the emigrant and head of the Bryan family of Milford, was daughter of Robert Baldwin of the Baldwin family of Buckingham County, England. "Anne Briant" was admitted to full communion in the Milford Church, August 23, 1640. The record also states that she died February 20, 1661. Alexander Bryan married, second, Susanna widow of both William Whiting and Samuel Fitch of Hartford. There is no record of this marriage, but it probably took place soon after June 27, 1662, when "M"" Allexand"^ Briant and M" Susannah ffitch" signed an agreement transferring to the children of her first husband William Whiting, certain property that had been in her possession as his widow and administratrix, and requested the court to appoint new administrators on the estate.-^

    Mrs. Susannah Bryan was admitted to the Milford Church December 6, 1669. Following the record of her admission on the Church book is this entry : "buried at Middletown July 8.73" John Winthrop Junior, Governor of Connecticut, in writing to his son Fitz-John Winthrop from "Hartford, July 15: 1673", said ' Hartford, Conn., County Court Records, vol. 3, reverse end, p. 69.

    ALEXANDER BRYAN
    "Old M''^ Bryan, M^ Whitings mother, died at Middleton Sabath day was seven night, where she was buried the Tuesday following: had not beene sick above a weeke.""*

    Alexander Bryan made his will April 24, 1679 and July 22 following he made a codicil thereto. In the document he referred to himself as being weak of body. To his grandson Alexander Bryan he gave " 500 in addition to what he had already received. The house and home-lot where the testator then dwelt were to be considered a part of the i 500. He also gave him the old warehouse and one-half of the pasture land in Milford. These bequests including all previous payments were to be appraised and the value thereof in excess of i 500 was to be paid by the legatee to Samuel Bryan, another grandson of the testator. Alexander Bryan, child of the testator's grandson, Alexander, was given all the interest in the house and land at Eaton's Neck, Long Island, of which he was to come into possession when he became nineteen years old.

    Hannah Harriman, grandchild of the testator, was given i 40, part of which she had already received.

    The testator had previously given to his granddaughter Sarah Fitch, i 40 in a house which the testator had bought of Samuel Baldwin's widow. "My son in law Samuel Fitch" was directed to pay to the testator's grandson, Samuel Bryan, the amount due for the rest of the said house and lot.

    Said Samuel Bryan was also given the testator's house and land in Milford opposite his son Richard's dwelling house, also the new warehouse and land at Indian Side, formerly belonging to Samuel Baldwin.

    To his grandson, Richard Bryan Junior, he gave a house and home-lot bought of Samuel Eells, said Richard to come into possession thereof at the age of nineteen years.

    If Richard should die under that age, the property was to go to the executor. The three grandchildren, Richard Bryan, Frances Bryan and Abigail Bryan, were given the household goods, plate, brass, pewter and all moveable goods in equal shares. If either child should die before coming of age or unmarried, the share of such child was to go to the survivors.

    FAMILY OF ALEXANDER BRYAN
    On page 7 of this work the Judge states that he purchased in London a deed which has been preserved among the papers of the descendants of WilHam Penn. This deed is printed on pages 8 to 10 of the Bryan pamphlet. This document dated July 20, 1663, is a conveyance from Richard Bryan of Milford in New England and his father Alexander Bryan also of Milford to Edward Baldwyn of Beconsfield in the county of Bucks in consideration of i 40 "All those twoe messuages or tenements and garden with all the outhouses " appurten nts thereunto belonging situate lying " being in the North Streete of Wendover, in the said county of Bucks, and now or late in the occupation of the widow Ovyatt (?) or her underten nt or underten nts which said messuage or tennements were given to Anne Bryan, mother of the said Richard Bryan deceased, " to the said Richard Bryan " their heires by the last will " testament of Richard Baldwyn of Dundridge, in the said County of Buck, deceased." From these documents it will be seen that Anne wife of Alexander Bryan, the emigrant and head of the Bryan family of Milford, was daughter of Robert Baldwin of the Baldwin family of Buckingham County, England. "Anne Briant" was admitted to full communion in the Milford Church, August 23, 1640. The record also states that she died February 20, 1661. Alexander Bryan married, second, Susanna widow of both William Whiting and Samuel Fitch of Hartford. There is no record of this marriage, but it probably took place soon after June 27, 1662, when "M"" Allexand"^ Briant and M" Susannah ffitch" signed an agreement transferring to the children of her first husband William Whiting, certain property that had been in her possession as his widow and administratrix, and requested the court to appoint new administrators on the estate.-^

    Mrs. Susannah Bryan was admitted to the Milford Church December 6, 1669. Following the record of her admission on the Church book is this entry : "buried at Middletown July 8.73" John Winthrop Junior, Governor of Connecticut, in writing to his son Fitz-John Winthrop from "Hartford, July 15: 1673", said ' Hartford, Conn., County Court Records, vol. 3, reverse end, p. 69.
