    Sarah Whiting is the daughter of Jerusha Lord and Colonel John Whiting. She married Ebenezer Merry Sr. November 5, 1772 in Connecticut.

    Ebenezer and wife soon after marriage settled in Northern Ohio. The court appointed him guardian of Nathaniel and Stephen Markham, sons and minor heirs of David Markham, deceased, being under the age of fourteen years. Later, the town of Milan, Ohio was laid out in 1816 by Ebenezer Merry, who had two years previously removed to its township.

    Mr. Merry was a native of West Hartford in Conn., and by his example contributed much, as the proprietor of the town, to promote good morals among the early inhabitants. He erected flour mills and saw mills. Mr. Merry was a man of acute observation, practical benevolence and unbounded hospitality. He repeatedly represented the county in the legislature of the state, was twice elected to a seat on the bench of common pleas, an honor in both instances declined. He died Jan 1, 1846 (Jan 12) at the age of 73, greatly beloved.

    They had ten children: Ebenezer Merry Jr., Sarah Merry Morgan, Dinah Merry Markham (Stephen Markham's mother), Jerusha Merry Pierce, Whiting Merry, Hosmer Merry, Atta Merry (died young), Anson Merry, Atta Merry Hawley and Ruth Merry Moore.

    By Albert James Perry
    Samuel Morse Whiting
    Samuel Morse Whiting, who engaged in mercantile pursuits in Altona, was born in that town on the 11th of August, 1857, and traces his ancestry back to William and Susannah Whiting, who settled in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1632, having come from Boxford, Suffolk, England. William Whiting was a very wealthy merchant who had received a patent for land at Sevanscot with Lord Say and Lord Brook. He served as treasurer of Connecticut colony from 1642 to 1647 and died in July of the latter year. His wife passed away July 8, 1673. Their son Joseph Whiting , who was born October 2, 1640 and died October 8, 1717, was married in 1676 to Anna Allyn, who was born August 18, 1652, and died March 3, 1735. She was a daughter of Colonel John and Ann (Smith) Allyn. Her father, who was secretary of the Connecticut colony for twenty-eight years, was born February 24, 1630, and died November 11, 1696. John Whiting, son of Joseph and Anna (Allyn) Whiting, was born December 15, 1693, and died February 12, 1766. He married Jerusha Lord, who was born in 1699 and died in 1776. Their son Allyn Whiting was a soldier of the Revolutionary war, being a private in Major Sheldon’s'Regiment of Light Horse and Colonel Enos’ Regiment on the Hudson. He was born June 23, ‘1740, and died February 9, 1818. He and his wife Elizabeth joined the church at West Hartford in 1758. Their son Joseph Whiting was born in August, 1763, and died February 16, 1842. He was ‘married in 1784 to Mary Goodwin, who was born in 1766 and died in 1835. Their son Allyn Whiting, who was the grandfather of our subject, was born July 4, 1788, and died in Aurora, Illinois, November 3, 1871. He married Amanda Alford, who was born June 6, 1796, and died May 3, 1849. Their son Samuel Phelps Whiting, the father of our subject, was born September 19, 1821, in Hartford, Connecticut, and was married, in Litchfield, that state, May 28, 1845, to Miss Lucretia Morse who was born in Litchfield, August 22, 1823, and died April 5, 1901. She was a daughter of Jacob and Harriet Morse, who were married March 14, 1821. Her mother was born March 17, 1800, and died February 28, 1882, in Litchfield. Her father was born in that city March 6, 1792, and was a son of Levi and Thalia (Sanford) Morse. Levi Morse was born in Litchfield, September 19, 1775, and died January 20, 1841. His wife was born October 26, 1776, and died July 16, 1854. Mrs. Lucretia (Morse) Whiting belonged to a very prominent old New England family and a monument has been erected which bears the following inscription: “To the memory of seven Puritans who emigrated from England to America in 1635-9. John Morse, born 1604, settled at New Haven and died at Wallingford, Connecticut, 1707, aged one hundred and three years. Samuel Morse, born 1585, settled at Dedham, 1636, died at Medfield, 1654. Joseph Morse, settled at Ipswich, where he died 1646. Anthony Morse, born at Marlboro, England, 1606, died at Newbury, 1686. William Morse, born 1608, died 1685. Robert and Peter, their brothers, settled and died in New Jersey.”
    Samuel Phelps Whiting, the father of our subject, conducted a meat market in his native city until coming to Victoria, Illinois, in 1851, with his brother Richard and family. They engaged in mercantile business for two years and at the end of that time Samuel P. Whiting removed to Altona, where he opened'a meat market. In addition to that business he also engaged in the raising and shipping of cattle, horses and hogs, becoming one of the leading men engaged in that enterprise in the locality. He disposed of his stock in Peoria, which was the nearest market. His was one of the first frame houses built in Altona and was situated on Main street, opposite the present place of business of Samuel M. Whiting. In 1878 he admitted his son Samuel as a business partner and subsequently purchased and edited for five years Altona’s only newspaper —the Altona Journal. He took an active interest in public affairs and was a supporter of the republican party. After a useful and well spent life he passed away in March, 1907. In his family were four children: Samuel M.- of this review; Della, the wife of A. H. Miles, a druggist of Des Moines, Iowa; Inez, the wife of A. G. Edwards, a druggist and ex city treasurer of Omaha, Nebraska; and Angie, the wife of Ernest R. Smith, of Palo Alto, California.
    Samuel M. Whiting has been engaged in the meat market business since he finished school at the age of fifteen years. In addition to conducting his market he has also bought and shipped cattle to the near-by markets. For one year he ran a restaurant and from 1892-to 1897 he conducted a meat market in Galesburg but then returned to Altona. In his dealings he has maintained the strictest business integrity, realizing that satisfied customers are the best advertisement. He keeps in touch with the trade, knows what the market offers and carries a good line of meats, while his prices are reasonable and his treatment of his patrons always courteous.
    Mr. Whiting was married to Miss Ella M. Pierce, of Walnut Grove township whose birth occurred January 5, 1860. She is a daughter of Mathew Pierce, who came to Altona from New York state when very young and is now living retired at Galesburg. To Mr. and Mrs. Whiting four children have been born: Claude N., an electrician, who married Jennie Nelson and is residing in Cairo, Illinois; Harry S., the assistant cashier of the State Bank at Victoria, Illinois, who married Lillian Wenstrom, of Altona, and they have a little daughter, Lucile, born January 11, 1912; Inez, who is engaged in teaching music and is residing at home; and Mathew Pierce, who since his graduation from school has assisted his father in the meat market.
    Mr. Whiting is an active and enthusiastic republican and has frequently been elected to ofiice. He has served as village clerk and has four times been elected supervisor, his first election being in 1889. For nine years he served as county committeeman and during that time did much active work in furthering the interests of the republican party. Practically his whole life has been spent in Altona, where he has the distinction of being one of the two oldest business men. He occupies a place of prominence as one of the energetic business men, succeeding in what he undertakes by reason of his forceful character and his strict conformity to modern business methods.

    Saturday morning, May 14,1994 we left Windsor Locks, Conn., to drive to Somersworth, New Hampshire to visit our daughter Linda. We stopped at Windsor and visited the Palisado Cemetery, an "old and new cemetery" behind the United Church of Christ (Congregational). This building was erected in 1794, but the organization is among the oldest gathered congregations in North America. The cemetery contains tombstones dating from the 1600s. The first stone we found was that of Jerusha Lord Whiting, (see notes on her for inscription). Beside this stone tablet was an all white stone for Col. John Whiting.

    We also visited the Windsor Historical Society, 96 Palisado Ave. It is the site of the Lt. Walter Fyler house, built in 1640, one of the oldest frame houses in Connecticut. We were surprised to find it open on Saturday morning. The gentleman who opened the door was very cordial, and assisted in helping us find records of 'cemetery inscription' of some of my ancestors. I also met a lady from Charleston, South Carolina who was working on Matthew Allyn's line.
    Matthew Allyn went to Windsor after the founding of Hartford. His name is on the Founders's Monument in the gold Street cemetery in Hartford.
