HISTORY: (Compiled by Jennie Bird Hill, daughter of Abby Ann Whiting, daughter
of Edwin and Hannah Whiting- 1919) "About the year 1800, in the
little town of Lee, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, near the border of New
York, lived the family of Elisha and Sally Hulett Whiting. Elisha Whiting's
father was a sea captain and lived in Connecticut. He died when Elisha was
very young. His mother, not knowing what else to do, bound him to an old
Quaker, who was very cruel to him, and after a few years, he ran away to
Massachusetts and worked on a farm with a wheelwright. Here he was married to
Sally Hulett. They were highly respected, honest, generous and firm in their
convictions.
Elisha Whiting followed the trade of wagon and chair maker and did his work
well. His wife was very gifted in making prose and poetry, a characteristic
that has been bequeathed to many of the Whiting descendants. To Elisha and
Sally Whiting, twelve children were born, eight sons and four daughters as
follows: (1) Charles, (2) William, (3) Edwin, (4) Charles, (5) Katherine
Louisa, (6) Harriet, (7) Sally Emeline, (8) Chauncey, (9) Almond, (10) Jane,
(11) Sylvester, and (12) Lewis.
Edwin Whiting was born September 9, 1809, the third child of this family.
When he was six years old, his parents moved to Nelson, Portage County, Ohio.
At that time, it was the western frontier of the U.S.A. but probably the very
place his father wished to be to get a suitable timber for his trade and for
support of his large family.
Edwin Whiting's chance for education was very limited, but they were all
taught the "3 R's", Readin', Ritin', and Rithmetic, and he wrote an legible
hand, an extrordinary feat for his time. At an early age, he wrote credible
verse.
His early life in the forest, no doubt, accounts for his love of the
out-of-doors, the beauties of nature, the trees, the flowers, the mountains and
the desire to hunt.
One Sunday morning, when but a small boy, he decided to go hunting. He knew
this was contrary to his parent's teachings, so he tried to draw his gun
through the cracks between the logs of his bedroom and go unmolested. His gun
caught and was discharged, inflicting a serious wound in his left arm. This,
he said, was a lesson to observe the Sabbath Day and to obey his parents.
He learned the chair making trade from his father and his workmanship was
considered very good.
In 1833, when Edwin was twenty-four years old, he married Elizabeth
Partridge Tillotson, an Ohio girl of French descent. She was a highly educated
school teacher, quite an accomplishment for those days.
In 1837, the Gospel was brought to the Whiting family. Edwin and his wife,
his father and mother and some of his brothers and sisters joined the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were baptized by Thomas Marsh in 1838.
Here, as in the time of Christ and His Apostles, the humble, hard-working class
of people were the ones to listen and accept the Gospel of truth.
They were among the early members of our church and soon joined the saints
in Kirtland, Ohio. It was here that their trials, hardships and persecutions
began and it took true manhood, womanhood, and faith in God to endure. They
were forced to leave their new comfortable home, complete with furniture,
orchards and land in Kirtland, Ohio and took only their clothing and a few
valued relics and went to Far West, Missouri. By this time, Edwin and
Elizabeth had four children: William, Helen Amelia, Sarah Elizabeth and Emily
Jane. They were only in Far West a short time and had just built a new home,
when the mob, several thousand strong, ordered them out. Every house in the
village was burned except father Elisha Whiting's, which was spared because he
was so sick then could not move him.
We remember of hearing aunt Elizabeth tell how she sat on the pile of
bedding far into the night with little daughter Jane in her arms. Little Jane
died soon after from exposure and lack of proper food. Sarah clapped her hands
at the big bonfire the mob had made with their fences and the select wood from
her father's chair shop. They were compelled to flee again so they joined the
saints at Lima in father Morley's branch, where Edwin Whiting acted as
counselor to brother Morley.
For Several years, the saints were happily building up the city of Nauvoo,
and their temple. Here they worshipped God without as much persecution as they
had experienced at Lima. Edwin was appointed Colonel in the Nauvoo Legion and
was an active worker at all times for the up-building of His Church.
Through the advice of those in authority, and for a righteous purpose, he
entered the law of plural marriage. In the year 1845, he married Almira
Meacham. The following year, January 27, 1846, he married Mary Elizabeth Cox.
That same year, he was called on a mission to Pennsylvania and was there at the
time of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith. He woon returned
home and took up arms with his bretheren to protect his property and the lives
of his family.
During the battle of the Crooked River, his brother Charles was killed.
Still a greater test awaited him, his brothers, Almond, Sylvester, Chauncey and
Lewis and his sister, Louisa did not feel that Brigham Young should be the
leader of the Church so they followed a Mr. Cutler and called themselves
"Cutlerites" and moved up into Clitheral, Minnesota. To this day they hold
tenaciously to the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. They still
correspond with the children of Edwin Whiting, and have given us, for temple
work, an extensive genealogy of the Whiting family.
Edwin Whiting, his families, his father and mother stayed with the saints,
who were compelled to move west as far as Mt. Pisgah, (now known as Talmadge)
Iowa. There they stayed to prepare for the journey across the plains.
The dreaded disease, cholera, took the father and mother of Edwin, his
little brother and little daughter, Emily Jane. Their names are on the
monument lately erected at that place in memory of those who died there. So
many of his family were sick at one time, that there was no one well enough to
get the sick ones a drink, but even in those trying times, they still had faith
and rejoiced in the Gospel, for the Lord was with them. Emeline, a sister of
Edwin, married Fredrick Walter Cox and the two families were as one big family
for years. They established a chair factory and hauled the chairs to Quincy,
Illinois where they were sold. From this and their crops, they prepared to
come west. Aunt Mary taught school two terms and helped the family some.
While at Mt. Pisgah, three children were born. Albert Milton was born to Mary.
Oscar Newell was born to Elizabeth, and Catherine Emeline was born to Almira.
In April, 1849, Edwin and Emeline, the only children of Elisha and Sally
Whiting who stayed true to the Church, started westward in brother Morley's
company.
Volumes have been written of the westward journey of the saints, and as
Congressman Leatherstood has said, "It is the greatest emigration trail that
was ever blazed and our pioneers will some day stand out in history as the
greatest pioneers of the world."
They fought Indians, had their cattle stampeeded, suffered for lack of
proper food, and even though tired from that long and tedious trek, still they
went on. After reaching the Black Hills, a heavy snow storm came and for three
days they were shut in. Many of their cattle died and perhaps they would have
died had not the teams and provisions sent by President Brigham Young come to
their aid. On October 28, 1849, they reached Salt Lake City, which looked
like a haven of rest to that travel-worn company. Aunt Mary said, "I have
never beheld a sight so good and so beautiful as Salt Lake City. We were so
thankful our journey was at an end." But their rest was of short duration, for
in a few days, Edwin Whiting, the Morley's and the Cox's were called to settle
the San Pitch River, now known as Manti. Again they journeyed on. It took
three weeks to go from Salt Lake City, because they had to build their own
roads.
Provo was then a village of about six homes. As they passed Hobble Creek,
afterwards known as Springville, Edwin Whiting remarked, "This is a fertile
spot. I would like to stop here."
They arrived in Sanpete county on December 1, 1849, with almost nothing to
eat, no food for their cattle, no shelter to keep them warm, and cold weather
upon them. They made "dug-outs" on the south side of the hill where the Manti
Temple now stands. It was a severe winter, with snow so deep the cattle could
scarcely get grass and most of them died. Food had to be divided with the
Indians to keep peace. President Young had promised them provisions and help,
but none came, so Edwin and Orville Cox put on snow shoes and with a little
parched corn in their pockets for food, placed their bedding on a sleigh and
started toward Salt Lake City for help. When they reached Nephi Canyon, they
met their help, brother Dace Henry, his wife, her brother, Mr. Dodge and an
Indian, snow bound. Their cattle had died and their wagons were all but
covered with snow. The young wife was very sick, so Edwin gave them the sleigh
to pull her to Manti. They put their quilts on their backs and walked on to
Salt Lake Clity and reported conditions to President Young. Aid was
immediately sent, but some of that company went back to Salt Lake City.
Edwin's family now numbered fourteen. They lived in a large room in the
wall of the hill with their chair factory in one end. The men and boys hauled
wood from the hills on the hand sleighs.
The following spring (1850), there were three girls born. Harriet Lucinda
was born to Mary Elizabeth in April, Louisa Melitia was born to Elizabeth in
May, and Cornelia Dolly was born to Almira in June.
For several seasons, very little was raised. It became necessary to build a
fort to protect themselves from the Indians, for they felt that the white man
had stolen their land. The gates of the fort were locked while the men went to
the fields with their guns. From this developed the Walker War. Edwin was
appointed Captain for the Militia. Twice the Indians drove his cattle off and
stole whatever they could.
Edwin often told us of one big old ox that he owned. The ox would rebel
whenever an Indian tried to drive him. He would turn on his captors and break
their defense and come home. He hated Indians and would always lower his head
and challenge them if they came near.
Edwin tried planting fruit trees, shrubs and flowers, but they could not
survive the very cold winters. Their crops were poor, but they managed to
exist and were a happy family in spite of their hardships.
In 1854, he was called to Ohio on a mission and was gone for two years.
While he was away, the grasshoppers came and took everything they raised. They
faced starvation, but miraculously, where the crops had been, a patch of
pigweeds grew and they lived on them until the corn ripened in Utah County.
A strange thing it was, for the Indians said those pigweeds had never grown
there before, nor have they grown since. Walter Cox divided with his brother's
(brother-in-law) family while Edwin was away.
Edwin, upon his return, brought many kinds of fruit trees, (some from his
father's farm that he helped to plant when a boy) shrubs and flowers, and again
tried to grow them, but the climate was too cold.
On the 8th of October, 1856, Edwin married Hannah Haines Brown. Abby Ann
Whiting was born to this couple at Manti in 1858 and Lorenzo Snow Whiting was
born at Manti in 1860.
On the 14th day of April, 1857, he married Mary Ann Washburn. Two children
were born to the family while they resided at Manti. Daniel Abram was born in
May, 1858 and Monroe Finch Whiting was born in November, 1862.
While he lived at Manti, Edwin was among the foremost men in religious and
civic affairs of the community. He was councelor to the Stake President. He
was mayor of the city from 1857 to 1861. He was a member of the legislature
for two terms, and as stated before, he was Captain of the Militia in the
Walker War.
After finding the climate of Manti unfavorable for raising fruit, his
special work, he was advised by Presiden Young to try out his nursery at
Springville. He moved to Springville in 1861 and was able to plant and grow
all kinds and varieties of fruit trees, vegetables and flowers. People used to
come from neighboring communities to see his flowers.
He built a home on the lot where the Springville Second Ward Church now
stands. That old two story adobe home will stand in the memory of the members
of the Whiting Family as a place of many happy evenings and of fun and
amusement. Aunt Mary also taught school there.
He transplanted, in different towns, many evergreens from the mountains.
Those around the old Court House in Provo, those at the Springville City park,
and one large evergreen that stands southwest of the Manti Temple which can be
seen for miles around. He once said "I brought that in my dinner bucket and I
think it was the first evergreen transplanted in Utah."
His life was typical of this great tree. A poem written by Emmay Whiting,
wife of Daniel Whiting, describes his life and this tree as being similar.
Edwin had one of the largest families in Utah. Many of those stand at the
head of Stake and Ward organizations in our Church. Among his descendants,
we found seven bishops.
In his later life, he did temple work for his dead relatives in the Salt
Lake Temple, St. George Temple, and in the Logan Temple. He lived the
principles of his religion. He was honest, charitable, and never accumulated
great riches. He was thrifty and loved his wives and children and gave them
the comforts of life.
He died at Mapleton, Utah on the 9th of December, 1890 at the age of
eighty-one years. He was firm in his belief and testimony of the truthfulness
of the Gospel.
His descendants are numerous and are found in Idaho, Arizona, Mexico,
California, New York, and in Utah.

!BEFORE AND AFTER MOUNT PISGAH, by Clare B. Christensen says the following
on page 255:
"Edwin Whiting had tried to grow fruit at Manti, Utah since his return
from Ohio. The seasons at Manti had been cold. Brigham Young advised Edwin to move to Springville, Utah where the winters were more mild. In 1861 Edwin made the move. He bought land from the Hulets. That same year edwin
s cousin, Sylvanus Cyrus Hulet was called to take his family and help with the settlement at St. George, Utah."
After having read the foregoing quote I would assume that Melvin, Alvin, and Francis Whiting were born and died at Springville or Mapleton and were buried someplace in the area.

HISTORY: (Compiled by Jennie Bird Hill, daughter of Abby Ann Whiting, daughter
of Edwin and Hannah Whiting- 1919) "About the year 1800, in the
little town of Lee, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, near the border of New
York, lived the family of Elisha and Sally Hulett Whiting. Elisha Whiting's
father was a sea captain and lived in Connecticut. He died when Elisha was
very young. His mother, not knowing what else to do, bound him to an old
Quaker, who was very cruel to him, and after a few years, he ran away to
Massachusetts and worked on a farm with a wheelwright. Here he was married to
Sally Hulett. They were highly respected, honest, generous and firm in their
convictions.
Elisha Whiting followed the trade of wagon and chair maker and did his work
well. His wife was very gifted in making prose and poetry, a characteristic
that has been bequeathed to many of the Whiting descendants. To Elisha and
Sally Whiting, twelve children were born, eight sons and four daughters as
follows: (1) Charles, (2) William, (3) Edwin, (4) Charles, (5) Katherine
Louisa, (6) Harriet, (7) Sally Emeline, (8) Chauncey, (9) Almond, (10) Jane,
(11) Sylvester, and (12) Lewis.
Edwin Whiting was born September 9, 1809, the third child of this family.
When he was six years old, his parents moved to Nelson, Portage County, Ohio.
At that time, it was the western frontier of the U.S.A. but probably the very
place his father wished to be to get a suitable timber for his trade and for
support of his large family.
Edwin Whiting's chance for education was very limited, but they were all
taught the "3 R's", Readin', Ritin', and Rithmetic, and he wrote an legible
hand, an extrordinary feat for his time. At an early age, he wrote credible
verse.
His early life in the forest, no doubt, accounts for his love of the
out-of-doors, the beauties of nature, the trees, the flowers, the mountains and
the desire to hunt.
One Sunday morning, when but a small boy, he decided to go hunting. He knew
this was contrary to his parent's teachings, so he tried to draw his gun
through the cracks between the logs of his bedroom and go unmolested. His gun
caught and was discharged, inflicting a serious wound in his left arm. This,
he said, was a lesson to observe the Sabbath Day and to obey his parents.
He learned the chair making trade from his father and his workmanship was
considered very good.
In 1833, when Edwin was twenty-four years old, he married Elizabeth
Partridge Tillotson, an Ohio girl of French descent. She was a highly educated
school teacher, quite an accomplishment for those days.
In 1837, the Gospel was brought to the Whiting family. Edwin and his wife,
his father and mother and some of his brothers and sisters joined the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were baptized by Thomas Marsh in 1838.
Here, as in the time of Christ and His Apostles, the humble, hard-working class
of people were the ones to listen and accept the Gospel of truth.
They were among the early members of our church and soon joined the saints
in Kirtland, Ohio. It was here that their trials, hardships and persecutions
began and it took true manhood, womanhood, and faith in God to endure. They
were forced to leave their new comfortable home, complete with furniture,
orchards and land in Kirtland, Ohio and took only their clothing and a few
valued relics and went to Far West, Missouri. By this time, Edwin and
Elizabeth had four children: William, Helen Amelia, Sarah Elizabeth and Emily
Jane. They were only in Far West a short time and had just built a new home,
when the mob, several thousand strong, ordered them out. Every house in the
village was burned except father Elisha Whiting's, which was spared because he
was so sick then could not move him.
We remember of hearing aunt Elizabeth tell how she sat on the pile of
bedding far into the night with little daughter Jane in her arms. Little Jane
died soon after from exposure and lack of proper food. Sarah clapped her hands
at the big bonfire the mob had made with their fences and the select wood from
her father's chair shop. They were compelled to flee again so they joined the
saints at Lima in father Morley's branch, where Edwin Whiting acted as
counselor to brother Morley.
For Several years, the saints were happily building up the city of Nauvoo,
and their temple. Here they worshipped God without as much persecution as they
had experienced at Lima. Edwin was appointed Colonel in the Nauvoo Legion and
was an active worker at all times for the up-building of His Church.
Through the advice of those in authority, and for a righteous purpose, he
entered the law of plural marriage. In the year 1845, he married Almira
Meacham. The following year, January 27, 1846, he married Mary Elizabeth Cox.
That same year, he was called on a mission to Pennsylvania and was there at the
time of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith. He woon returned
home and took up arms with his bretheren to protect his property and the lives
of his family.
During the battle of the Crooked River, his brother Charles was killed.
Still a greater test awaited him, his brothers, Almond, Sylvester, Chauncey and
Lewis and his sister, Louisa did not feel that Brigham Young should be the
leader of the Church so they followed a Mr. Cutler and called themselves
"Cutlerites" and moved up into Clitheral, Minnesota. To this day they hold
tenaciously to the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. They still
correspond with the children of Edwin Whiting, and have given us, for temple
work, an extensive genealogy of the Whiting family.
Edwin Whiting, his families, his father and mother stayed with the saints,
who were compelled to move west as far as Mt. Pisgah, (now known as Talmadge)
Iowa. There they stayed to prepare for the journey across the plains.
The dreaded disease, cholera, took the father and mother of Edwin, his
little brother and little daughter, Emily Jane. Their names are on the
monument lately erected at that place in memory of those who died there. So
many of his family were sick at one time, that there was no one well enough to
get the sick ones a drink, but even in those trying times, they still had faith
and rejoiced in the Gospel, for the Lord was with them. Emeline, a sister of
Edwin, married Fredrick Walter Cox and the two families were as one big family
for years. They established a chair factory and hauled the chairs to Quincy,
Illinois where they were sold. From this and their crops, they prepared to
come west. Aunt Mary taught school two terms and helped the family some.
While at Mt. Pisgah, three children were born. Albert Milton was born to Mary.
Oscar Newell was born to Elizabeth, and Catherine Emeline was born to Almira.
In April, 1849, Edwin and Emeline, the only children of Elisha and Sally
Whiting who stayed true to the Church, started westward in brother Morley's
company.
Volumes have been written of the westward journey of the saints, and as
Congressman Leatherstood has said, "It is the greatest emigration trail that
was ever blazed and our pioneers will some day stand out in history as the
greatest pioneers of the world."
They fought Indians, had their cattle stampeeded, suffered for lack of
proper food, and even though tired from that long and tedious trek, still they
went on. After reaching the Black Hills, a heavy snow storm came and for three
days they were shut in. Many of their cattle died and perhaps they would have
died had not the teams and provisions sent by President Brigham Young come to
their aid. On October 28, 1849, they reached Salt Lake City, which looked
like a haven of rest to that travel-worn company. Aunt Mary said, "I have
never beheld a sight so good and so beautiful as Salt Lake City. We were so
thankful our journey was at an end." But their rest was of short duration, for
in a few days, Edwin Whiting, the Morley's and the Cox's were called to settle
the San Pitch River, now known as Manti. Again they journeyed on. It took
three weeks to go from Salt Lake City, because they had to build their own
roads.
Provo was then a village of about six homes. As they passed Hobble Creek,
afterwards known as Springville, Edwin Whiting remarked, "This is a fertile
spot. I would like to stop here."
They arrived in Sanpete county on December 1, 1849, with almost nothing to
eat, no food for their cattle, no shelter to keep them warm, and cold weather
upon them. They made "dug-outs" on the south side of the hill where the Manti
Temple now stands. It was a severe winter, with snow so deep the cattle could
scarcely get grass and most of them died. Food had to be divided with the
Indians to keep peace. President Young had promised them provisions and help,
but none came, so Edwin and Orville Cox put on snow shoes and with a little
parched corn in their pockets for food, placed their bedding on a sleigh and
started toward Salt Lake City for help. When they reached Nephi Canyon, they
met their help, brother Dace Henry, his wife, her brother, Mr. Dodge and an
Indian, snow bound. Their cattle had died and their wagons were all but
covered with snow. The young wife was very sick, so Edwin gave them the sleigh
to pull her to Manti. They put their quilts on their backs and walked on to
Salt Lake Clity and reported conditions to President Young. Aid was
immediately sent, but some of that company went back to Salt Lake City.
Edwin's family now numbered fourteen. They lived in a large room in the
wall of the hill with their chair factory in one end. The men and boys hauled
wood from the hills on the hand sleighs.
The following spring (1850), there were three girls born. Harriet Lucinda
was born to Mary Elizabeth in April, Louisa Melitia was born to Elizabeth in
May, and Cornelia Dolly was born to Almira in June.
For several seasons, very little was raised. It became necessary to build a
fort to protect themselves from the Indians, for they felt that the white man
had stolen their land. The gates of the fort were locked while the men went to
the fields with their guns. From this developed the Walker War. Edwin was
appointed Captain for the Militia. Twice the Indians drove his cattle off and
stole whatever they could.
Edwin often told us of one big old ox that he owned. The ox would rebel
whenever an Indian tried to drive him. He would turn on his captors and break
their defense and come home. He hated Indians and would always lower his head
and challenge them if they came near.
Edwin tried planting fruit trees, shrubs and flowers, but they could not
survive the very cold winters. Their crops were poor, but they managed to
exist and were a happy family in spite of their hardships.
In 1854, he was called to Ohio on a mission and was gone for two years.
While he was away, the grasshoppers came and took everything they raised. They
faced starvation, but miraculously, where the crops had been, a patch of
pigweeds grew and they lived on them until the corn ripened in Utah County.
A strange thing it was, for the Indians said those pigweeds had never grown
there before, nor have they grown since. Walter Cox divided with his brother's
(brother-in-law) family while Edwin was away.
Edwin, upon his return, brought many kinds of fruit trees, (some from his
father's farm that he helped to plant when a boy) shrubs and flowers, and again
tried to grow them, but the climate was too cold.
On the 8th of October, 1856, Edwin married Hannah Haines Brown. Abby Ann
Whiting was born to this couple at Manti in 1858 and Lorenzo Snow Whiting was
born at Manti in 1860.
On the 14th day of April, 1857, he married Mary Ann Washburn. Two children
were born to the family while they resided at Manti. Daniel Abram was born in
May, 1858 and Monroe Finch Whiting was born in November, 1862.
While he lived at Manti, Edwin was among the foremost men in religious and
civic affairs of the community. He was councelor to the Stake President. He
was mayor of the city from 1857 to 1861. He was a member of the legislature
for two terms, and as stated before, he was Captain of the Militia in the
Walker War.
After finding the climate of Manti unfavorable for raising fruit, his
special work, he was advised by Presiden Young to try out his nursery at
Springville. He moved to Springville in 1861 and was able to plant and grow
all kinds and varieties of fruit trees, vegetables and flowers. People used to
come from neighboring communities to see his flowers.
He built a home on the lot where the Springville Second Ward Church now
stands. That old two story adobe home will stand in the memory of the members
of the Whiting Family as a place of many happy evenings and of fun and
amusement. Aunt Mary also taught school there.
He transplanted, in different towns, many evergreens from the mountains.
Those around the old Court House in Provo, those at the Springville City park,
and one large evergreen that stands southwest of the Manti Temple which can be
seen for miles around. He once said "I brought that in my dinner bucket and I
think it was the first evergreen transplanted in Utah."
His life was typical of this great tree. A poem written by Emmay Whiting,
wife of Daniel Whiting, describes his life and this tree as being similar.
Edwin had one of the largest families in Utah. Many of those stand at the
head of Stake and Ward organizations in our Church. Among his descendants,
we found seven bishops.
In his later life, he did temple work for his dead relatives in the Salt
Lake Temple, St. George Temple, and in the Logan Temple. He lived the
principles of his religion. He was honest, charitable, and never accumulated
great riches. He was thrifty and loved his wives and children and gave them
the comforts of life.
He died at Mapleton, Utah on the 9th of December, 1890 at the age of
eighty-one years. He was firm in his belief and testimony of the truthfulness
of the Gospel.
His descendants are numerous and are found in Idaho, Arizona, Mexico,
California, New York, and in Utah.
