WHITING Direct Line Ancestors of Annabell Marion Brown Wright
JEREMIAH B. WHITING Jeremiah B. Whiting was born about 1771 in Sharon, MA. He married Ruth Sweet June 25, 1797 in New Bedford, Briston, MA. Ruth Sweet was born about 1778. She was the daughter of Silas Sweet and Mary Blackman. Soon after the wedding they moved to Bradford, Vermont and in 1807, they moved to Northern New York. Dr Whiting practiced medicine in Vermont, Onondaga and Cayuga Counties in New York and then moved to Michigan. In the 1850 census, which was taken shortly before his death, he was listed in the home of his daughter Thalis (Whiting) Snyder, in Calhoun county, Michigan. From "A History of Bradford, Vermont", by Rev Silas McKeen, pages 396-7: "Dr. Whiting practiced medicine in Bradford for a few years. He resided in the part of town called Goshen. He had a good preparatory education and was well-read in his professional studies. He distinguished himself somewhat in his judicious treatment of scarlett fever which prevailed at one time during his practice in Bradford." The following is from "The History of Cayuga County 1789-1879 page 462 Town of Moravia" ....... Jeremiah B. Whiting joined the County Medical Society February 2, 1826, and practiced in the north part of the town till 1832, when he removed to Michigan. He was from Dutchess county. ........ "Northern New York" must refer to Spafford in Onondaga County; the book Onondaga or Reminiscences of Earlier and Later Times, by Joshua V. H. Clark, A.M., Stoddard and Babcock, Syracuse, 1849, pp. 348 - 352, lists Dr Jeremiah B Whiting as one of the first Doctors in Spafford. And the Centennial History of Spafford tells us that Dr Jeremiah Bumpus Whiting settled in Borodino, then called Child's Corners, about 1802. He continued to practice medicine and clear up and manage a new farm until 1819, when he removed to Sempronius in Cayuga County and afterwards went to Michigan, where he died. He was a good classical and medical scholar and was the best skilled in the use of American indigenous remedies of any of our early physicians. The History of Onondaga also notes that Dr. Jonathan Kneeland of Marcellus was a precocious youth and at age eleven (1823) became a student of medicine under Dr. Jeremiah Bumpus Whiting of Sempronius, Cayuga County. The Kneeland genealogy (Seven centuries in the Kneeland family) tells us that Jonathan "was appenticed to learn the art of healing to Jeremiah Bumpus Whiting of Sempronius. Bumpus was a college graduate and he agreed to reward Kneeland for faithful services in ten years, with a horse and saddle bags. This delightful experience and prospect was rudely ended by the relapse of the learned Whiting to his old but relinquished habit of quaffing the flowing bowl". The History of Cayuga County notes that Jeremiah B. Whiting joined the County Medical Society on 2 February 1826 and practiced in the north part of the town of Moravia until 1832, when he removed to Michigan. This history states that he was from Dutchess County.

She married (1) Nicholas Cushin about 1862, son of DAVID CUSHIN and JEMMIMA. He was born about 1832 in Steuben, New York. She married (2) William Coshun in December of 1874. He was the son of CATHERINE. He was born about 1822 in New York and died after 1880 in Seneca, New York. Obit: "Mary A Coshun, a sister of Mrs. William Woodard and J. B. Whiting was buried in the McNeil Cemetery on Saturday last. Her death occured on the 13th, and funeral service were held the 15th at the home of Mrs. George Stewart. Farmer Review 12/22/1900."

Her father, Nicholas Cushin, deserted her mother when she was 6 months old. She was adopted by Dennis T. Coon and wife Elizabeth Muncy Coon. It is interesting to note that Dennis T. Coon was related to Nettie's husband William McDonald Sterling (second cousin, twice removed). Both families descended from the Coons of Washington County, Rhode Island. The name shortened to Coon from MacCoone. The original ancestor, John MacCoone came to America in 1652 from Aberdeenshire, Scotland. View trascript of Adoption Record.

WHITING Direct Line Ancestors of Annabell Marion Brown Wright
JEREMIAH B. WHITING Jeremiah B. Whiting was born about 1771 in Sharon, MA. He married Ruth Sweet June 25, 1797 in New Bedford, Briston, MA. Ruth Sweet was born about 1778. She was the daughter of Silas Sweet and Mary Blackman. Soon after the wedding they moved to Bradford, Vermont and in 1807, they moved to Northern New York. Dr Whiting practiced medicine in Vermont, Onondaga and Cayuga Counties in New York and then moved to Michigan. In the 1850 census, which was taken shortly before his death, he was listed in the home of his daughter Thalis (Whiting) Snyder, in Calhoun county, Michigan. From "A History of Bradford, Vermont", by Rev Silas McKeen, pages 396-7: "Dr. Whiting practiced medicine in Bradford for a few years. He resided in the part of town called Goshen. He had a good preparatory education and was well-read in his professional studies. He distinguished himself somewhat in his judicious treatment of scarlett fever which prevailed at one time during his practice in Bradford." The following is from "The History of Cayuga County 1789-1879 page 462 Town of Moravia" ....... Jeremiah B. Whiting joined the County Medical Society February 2, 1826, and practiced in the north part of the town till 1832, when he removed to Michigan. He was from Dutchess county. ........ "Northern New York" must refer to Spafford in Onondaga County; the book Onondaga or Reminiscences of Earlier and Later Times, by Joshua V. H. Clark, A.M., Stoddard and Babcock, Syracuse, 1849, pp. 348 - 352, lists Dr Jeremiah B Whiting as one of the first Doctors in Spafford. And the Centennial History of Spafford tells us that Dr Jeremiah Bumpus Whiting settled in Borodino, then called Child's Corners, about 1802. He continued to practice medicine and clear up and manage a new farm until 1819, when he removed to Sempronius in Cayuga County and afterwards went to Michigan, where he died. He was a good classical and medical scholar and was the best skilled in the use of American indigenous remedies of any of our early physicians. The History of Onondaga also notes that Dr. Jonathan Kneeland of Marcellus was a precocious youth and at age eleven (1823) became a student of medicine under Dr. Jeremiah Bumpus Whiting of Sempronius, Cayuga County. The Kneeland genealogy (Seven centuries in the Kneeland family) tells us that Jonathan "was appenticed to learn the art of healing to Jeremiah Bumpus Whiting of Sempronius. Bumpus was a college graduate and he agreed to reward Kneeland for faithful services in ten years, with a horse and saddle bags. This delightful experience and prospect was rudely ended by the relapse of the learned Whiting to his old but relinquished habit of quaffing the flowing bowl". The History of Cayuga County notes that Jeremiah B. Whiting joined the County Medical Society on 2 February 1826 and practiced in the north part of the town of Moravia until 1832, when he removed to Michigan. This history states that he was from Dutchess County. Children of Jeremiah Whiting and Ruth Sweet are: 1. Jeremiah B. Whiting, Jr., born Abt. 1812 in New York; died Abt. 1852 in Scott, Cortland, NY; married Eliza M. unk. 2. Thalis Whiting, born Abt. 1819. JEREMIAH B. WHITING Jeremiah B.

She married (1) Nicholas Cushin about 1862, son of DAVID CUSHIN and JEMMIMA. He was born about 1832 in Steuben, New York. She married (2) William Coshun in December of 1874.

HAMILTON I. WHITING, who is living in practical retirement on his farm, near the village of Scott, was born February 13, 1839, in the town of Scott, Cortland County, N. Y. He is a son of Anson Lord and Nancy (Burdick) Whiting, and a grandson of Thomas Whiting.
The Whiting family is of English descent, our subject's great-grandfather,

THEOPHILUS WHITING,

having been born in England. He came to this country during the early colonial period and settled in Connecticut, where his son

THOMAS

was born. Thomas Whiting remained in his native state until 1811, when he with his wife and eight children moved to Spafford, Onondaga County, N. Y. There he spent most of his life, but was living at Onondaga Hill, near Syracuse, when his earthly career ended. He was one of the pioneer settlers of Spafford, which was then called Babcock Settlement, and followed the occupation of a farmer.

ANSON LORD WHITING

was a native of Connecticut and was four years of age when he came with his father to Spafford, in 1811. There he grew to manhood and followed farming; in 1833 he moved to the town of Scott, where he operated a mercantile store for the following sixteen years. He also manufactured flax for many years. He was an extensive land-owner and shortly before his death gave each of his five children a good farm. He was a shrewd and energetic business man and accumulated considerable money, besides owning no small amount of real estate.
He was united in marriage to Nancy Burdick, a daughter of Henry and Jemima (Crandall) Burdick. The Burdick family is of Scotch descent, and, upon coming to this country, settled in Hopkinton, R. I., where Henry, our subject's maternal grandfather, was born. There he remained until the year 1800, when he came to Scott and purchased a farm. After a stay of two years, he went back to his native state and upon returning to Scott, he was accompanied by his father and mother, and his four brothers, Joseph, Paul, Jesse and Russell. They all settled within a radius of five miles of Scott, and his brothers, with the exception of Paul, lived to be prosperous and successful farmers. Paul was of a mechanical turn of mind and was an inventor; his son Orin became well known all over the country by his connection with the Osborne reaper. Henry Burdick was a pioneer settler of Scott and one of its leading citizens. Besides clearing his own farm of 100 acres, he cleared farms for others. He was an active and industrious man and possessed the confidence of all who knew him. He acted as justice of the peace for many years and served on the board of supervisors. He married Jemima Crandall, by whom he had the following children: Elmira, deceased, was the wife of Daniel Babcock of Scott; Sallie, deceased, married Abel Lewis of Scott; Nancy, married

ANSON LORD WHITING,

our subject's father; Betsy, deceased; Henry Lee; Jared C. was a prominent publisher of New York City, where he was at the head of the Ladies' Wreath and Parlor Annual; Russell M. was a prominent business man of Hartford, Conn., and was interested in the cultivation of oranges in Florida; William M.; and Asher B., who was the publisher of "Helpers Impending Crisis." Henry Burdick had reached the advanced old age of eighty-nine years, when he died in 1869.

Mr. and Mrs. Whiting's union

was blessed by the birth of five children, namely: Lucelia O., deceased, who was the wife of Hon. S. A. Childs, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this book; Henry Lee, after attaining his majority, went to Hartford, Conn., where he was in the mercantile business for twenty-five years, then returning to Scott in 1892, where he died in the same year;

Hamilton I., our subject;

Lorinda F., the wife of James B. Spencer, whose personal history appears elsewhere in this book; and Adelle O., who married Leland Griffin, a resident of Scott. At one time our subject's father was a Whig, but later became a Republican. He was quite active in politics and held a number of public offices; for many years he was a member of the board of supervisors, and was also town clerk. Religiously, he was a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church, and contributed largely to the support of that organization.

HAMILTON I. WHITING

received his primary education in the district school at Scott, after which he attended the De Ruyter Institute of Madison County, N. Y. At the age of eighteen he left school and engaged in the manufacture of flax in partnership with his father, under the firm name,

A. L. Whiting & Son.

Eight years later he began to manufacture green tow and continued in that business for some fifteen years; he was the first in this section to engage in that business, but he was quickly followed by others. In 1884, he opened a general merchandise store in Scott and conducted it alone until 1891, when his son, Merton A., became a member of the firm. One year later, Mr. Whiting retired from active business life, and his son has since conducted the store with the same good judgment, that characterized all of his father's business ventures. Mr. Whiting still oversees the farm of 148 acres, upon which he now lives, but does none of the hard work.
He was united in marriage to Josephine A. Truman, a daughter of Dr. William M. Truman of Alfred Center, Allegany County, N. Y., in 1858. Dr. Truman was born in Madison County, N. Y., and studied medicine in Scott. He graduated when he was nineteen years old and then went to Richburg, Allegany County, where he practiced for about seven years. He next went to Alfred Center, where he acquired a large practice, and remained the rest of his life. He married Hulda L. Babcock of Scott, and they reared a family of four children, namely: Josephine A.; Elosia A.; Adelbert W., M. D., lives in Rochester, N. Y.; and Mary, deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Whiting have reared four children, whose names are as follows: William I., who is head clerk and manager of a grocery store at Skaneateles, N. Y., Lena M., the wife of John B. Brown, a farmer of Scott; Merton A.; and Mary E. In politics, Mr. Whiting is a stanch Republican and takes an active interest in state as well as local politics. He is serving in an official capacity as county committeeman, and was supervisor one term. He is also a director of the Homer National Bank. He is a well informed man, sociable, genial, and has a large number of friends.
