Stiles: from Brampton, Co. Devon, Eng. ... emigrated with the orig. Braintree Company, 1632, to charlestown, Mass., where 1633, he had 45 acres div. to him, at "the Common Pales" - much the largest share of any settler - had an acre for cow and three for planting group "on the Neck"; 1635, had by grant, or purchase, 5 acres at Wigwam Neck, six acres meadow near Watertown, 5 acres at Charlestown Lane; owned 5 houses on Town Plt, of Cambridge, 1635; res. near the meeting house and was the largest landholder in Cambridge (Camb. Rec., fol. 1, 24); was made freeman of Mass., 4 Mch., 1635; was a rep. at Mass. Gen. Court, March session, 1636; prob. removed next year to Hartford, where he was an orig. proprietor; his houselot was on the read to the Neck (now Windsor St.) and he owned 110 acres in that and other lots; and the first mill at Hartford, at foot of present W. Pearl St. in May, 1638, he was lodging with Roger Williams; was a proprietor at Windsor in 1640, as also a large owner at killingworth and at Simsbury. He was a member of Rev. Mr. Hooker's church at Hartford, but for some difference therewith, prob. of a doctrinal nature, was excommunicated, and 3 jun, 1644, appealed to Gen. Ct. for redress; the records show not fully how the matter was settled, but it may have been one cause of his removal to Windsor, in which plantation he had previously been interested, haveing purchased in 1638 all the lands, "houses, servants, goods, and chattels" of the New Plymouth Co. at Windsor ... Mr. Allyn was rep. to the Gen. Ct. every year 9except 1653) from 1648 to 1658, inclusive; a magistrate of the Colony, 1657-1667, inc.; commissioner for the United Colonies of N. E., 1660-4; when in 1649, the Gen. Ct. desired to initiate hostilities against the Indians, Mr. Allyn was the first-named of the 3 deputies to order the raising of troops ... Hon. Matthew Ally, as we have thus seen, was eminently, "a man of affairs," and a n active, public-spirited citizen. "Few men," says hinman, "had more influence, or recieved more honors from the people, than mr. Allyn." Energetic, willful, and persistent in all his projects, he was yet a just, high-minded man, and one of the props of the infant colony. Though he fell under the ban of the Hartford church (prob. becuase he entertained sentiments on baptism, church membership, or church discipline, at variance with the majority of his brethren), there are many evidences that he was still held in high esteem at Hartford; and Mr. Hinman seems to hint that the Hartford church encouraged him to remove, being afraid of his "influence with the settlers." In 1658, when trouble again arose in the Hartford church, Mr. Allyn was chairman of the committee of the Gen. Ct. to conduct a correspondence ont he subject. (Conn. Col. Rec., i. 321). Mr. Allyn died 1 Feb 1670-1; his will dated 30 Jan 1670-1, makes his wife, Margaret, his sole executrix; gave her the use of his estate, and desired his sons and son-in-law, Newberry, to improve it for her; to his son John he gave his Kennilworth lands, and confirmed to him those lands in Hartford which he had already given him as a marriage portion. his Window house he had previously deed to his son Thomas, subject to life use by himself and wife; he gave him also a large estate, and provided liberally for his dau. Mary (Newberry), and grand-dau. Mary (Maudsley). ... He was undoubtedly a brother of Deacon Thomas of Hartford and Middletown, and of Samuel of (East) Windsor. NEW ENGLAND HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER, Vol. 50, No. 4, oct. 1896, "Genealogical Cleanings in England", by Henry F. Waters: [Will of] Richard Allen the elder of Branton in Devon 29 November 1647, proved 10 May 1652. ... To my son Mathew Allinge five pounds ...

NEW ENGLAND HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER, Vol. 5, No. 2, April 1851, "List of Freemen of Windsor, Ct.", submitted by Samuel Wolcott: "Oct. 7th, 1669. Acount taken of all such Persons as dwell within the Limets of Windsor, and have bin approved of to be freemen, and alowed to take the oath of freedom.: Mr. Allyn: Mathew ============================ vii. Matthew (2) + ALLYN. "There were three immigrants by the name of Allyn, named Thomas, Samuel, and Matthew, brothers. They came first to Cambridge, Massachusetts, from Brampton, county Devon, England, and they are thought to have been the sons of Samuel Allyn, of Chelmsford, County Essex, England [may have been Richard of Brampton, see above, under general note]. (P) Matthew Allyn or Allyne, the immigrant ancestor of this branch of the family, came from from Brampton, country Devon England, with his brothers, Deacon Thomas and Samuel. If he was son of Samuel, of Chelmsford, England, he was baptized in April, 1604. He came with the original Braintree company in 1632, to Charlestown, Massachusetts, where in 1633 he received forty-five acres in the division of lands at "the Common Pales," much the largest share of any settler, and he had an acre for his cow, and three acres for planting gound "on the Neck." In 1635 he received a grant, or purchased five acres at Wigwam Neck, six acres of land meadow land near Watertown, and five acres at Charlestown lane. In 1635 he owned five houses on the town plot at Cambridge, where he was the largest landholder. He lived near the meeting house. He was made a freeman of Massachusetts, March 4, 1635, and was a representative at the general court, March session, in 1636. He moved to Hartford probably in 1637, and was an original proprietor there, having his house lot on the road to the Neck, now on Windsor street. He owned one hundred and ten acres of land there and built the first mill at Hartford, at the foot of what is now West Pearl street. In may, 1638, he was lodging with Roger Williams, and in 1640 was a proprietor of Windsor. He owned large amounts of land in Killingworth and Simsbury, Connecticut. He was a member of Rev. Mr. Hooker's church at Hartford, but was excommunicated, doubtless for a doctrinal difference. On June 3, 1644, he appealed to the general court for redress, but the records do not show how the affair was settled, and the trouble may have been the cause of his removal to Windsor, where in 1638 he had purchased all the lands, "houses, servants, goods, and chattels" of the New Plymouth Company. This purchase took away the last right Plymouth had on the Connecticut river. His homestead at Windsor was near the company's old trading house. Soon after his removal to Windsor he set up a claim, that, since he had purchased his land from Plymouth, Connecticut had no right to tak his property in Windsor, and a committe decided that he should pay taxes only to Connecticut. (P) He was representative to the general court every year except 1653, from 1648 to 1658 inclusive, and from 1657 to 1667 inclusive he was a magistrate of the colony. In 1660-64 he was commissioner for the United Colonies of New England. In 1649, when the general court decided to begin hostilities against the Indians, Mr. Allyn was first of three deputies chosen to raise troops. In 1657 he and Joseph Gilbert were appointed to announce to the Indians at Pacomtuck the decision of the commissioners. In 1659 he and his son John were on the committee for dividing Indian lands at Podunk. In 1660, when the governor and deputy governor were chosen commissioners for 1661, he was chosen as a reserve, and also to act as moderator in their absence. In 1661 he was moderator and on the committee to petition for the charter, in which he was named as one of the grantees, when it was granted to Connecticut by Charles II. In 1662 he was moderator and chairman to treat with New Haven concerning a union in 1662-63. In October, 1663, he was chairman of a committee to treat with the Dutch envoys from New Amsterdam, and with Mr. Willis was chosen to settle the government of the English towns on the west end of Long Island. In 1664 the committee on the government of the towns was renewed with more members with authority to establish courts, etc. Also, in 1664, he was on the committee to settle bounds between "the Bay" and Rhode Island, and the south bounds; also, with three others he was "desired to accompany the Gov. to N. Y. to congratulate His Majesty's commissioners." In 1665, when the Connecticut and New Haven colonies were united, he and his son, Lieutenant John, were chosen assistants, and again in 1666, when he was moderator, and in 1667. In 1666 they were both on the committee having authority to levy troops, etc., in case of war. The Killingworth land records name him as a large landowner and first settler, though he probably never lived there. Hon. Matthew Allyn was one of the most prominent men in the colony, as can be seen from his many offices of trust. Hinman says, "Few men had more influence, or received more honors from the people, than Mr. Allyn." There are many evidences that he was always respected highly in Hartford, despite the fact that he was excommunicated from the church, and Mr. Hinman seems to hint that the Hartford church encouraged him to move because of his "influence with the settlers." In 1658 when there was again trouble in the Hartford church, he was chairman of the committee of the general court to conduct a correspondence on the subject. (P) He died February 1, 1670-71, and his will, dated January 30, 1670-71, makes his wife executrix, giving her the use of the estate; to his son John he left his Killingworth lands, confirming to him those lands in Hartford which he had already given him. He had already deeded his house in Windsor to his son Thomas, subject to life use by himself and his wife, and he gave him also a large estate. "Old Mrs. Allyn," probably his mother, was admitted to the Windsor church August 5, 1649, and "Old Mr. Allyn" died September 12, 1675. Children, born probably in England: Hon. John; Captain Thomas, mentioned below [in this db, under his name]; Mary, married, June 11, 1646, Captain Benjamin Newberry." --- William Richard Cutter, *New England Families*, NY 1913, p 154 PREFIX: Also shown as Colonel BIRTH: Also shown as Born 15 Apr 1605 DEATH: Also shown as Died 7 Feb 1670 !BAPTISM: Also shown as Baptized 1 Nov 1932 !ENDOWMENT: Also shown as Endowed 18 Feb 1932 | Allyn, Honorable Matthew (I24607)

| 2457 | "ORIGINAL SURVEY OF TRACT GRANTED TO JOHN CONNOLY BY LORD DUNMORE, OF VIRGINIA, IN "FINCASTLE COUNTY," DECEMBER 14, 1773, UNDER THE PROCLAMATION OF KING GEORGE 111., OF 1763 -- "FOR MILITARY SERVICES." "Little of all we value here Wakes on the morn of its hundredth year Without both looking and feeling queer -- " Hardly can be held to apply to Fontaine Ferry park which under the management of Col. Harry A. Bilger, soon will open for the summer season of 1914. It is probable that few persons recall that this is the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the famous fountain that gave the celebrated amusement resort its name and prestige. An article prepared by Charles Thurston who is one of the descendants of the Fontaines, tells some interesting incidents in connection with the origin of the place. Mr. Thurston says: "Col. Aaron Fontaine came from Virginia in 1798 with a family of twelve children and his son-in-law, Judge Fortunatus Cosby, and settled on Harrods Creek in Jefferson county, of this State. He afterward removed, on January 17, 1814, to the banks of the Ohio river west of Louisville and established his family on a large estate which was purchased by him from Mr. William Lytle, of Cincinnati, O. This estate was part of 3,000 acres purchased by his son-in-law, Judge Fortunatus Cosby, from Sarah Beard, July 7, 1806, the property being known as part of the Connolly and De Warnsdorff tracts. "The estate purchased by Col. Aaron Fontaine from William Lytle embraced ... acres and at the time of its purchase the property was called "Carter's ferry". It was afterward named "Fontaine Ferry" by Col. Fontaine in 1814 and the place was laid out in orchards lawns and grass lands. The house, of substantial construction, faced the Ohio River, where a boat was kept for pleasure and service. A fine cypress avenue opened on what is now Main and the old "Fountaine Ferry Road" was a famous drive leading into the country retreat. Here Col. Fontaine lived the life of a country squire in the good old days in peace, plenty and hospitality, 100 years ago. "Col. Fontaine was a gentleman of the old school whose type almost has passed away. He was of French descent and a member of a noble Huguenot family in France. Among the number of the ancestors of this Huguenot was the noted Peverence Peter Fontaine, rector of Westover parish, Charles City County, Va., in 1716. It is said of Col. Fontaine that he was particularly courteous and polite to everyone with whom he came in contact and particularly so to his wife to whom he always doffed his hat before taking his morning toddy and insisted that she taste the toddy first. "Col. Fontaine, previous to his emigration to Kentucky in 1798, married Barbara Terril, of Virginia, who traced her lineage to the royal house of Stuart and was the granddaughter of Col. William Overton, of "Glencairn," Hanover county, Va. Twelve children were born of this marriage as follows: Mary Ann, the wife of Judge Fortunatus Cosby; Mathilda, the wife of Thomas Prather; Martha, the wife of Aexander Pope; America, the wife of William S. Vernon; Sallie, the wife of Gov. George Floyd; Deborah, the wife of Judge Edmund Bullock; Maria the wife of Sterling Grimes; Barbara, the wife of John Sanders, Ann Overton, the wife of John I. Jacob, and Peter, John and Maury Fontaine, sons. "Soon after the death of his first wife, Barbara Terrill Fontaine, Col. Fontaine married Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting Thruston, the widow of Col. John Thruston, of "Sans Souel," of Jefferson county, who was with Gen. George Rogers Clark in the campaigns against the British and the Indians at Kaskaskia and Vincennes. Mrs. Thruston had ten children when she married Col. Fontaine and four children were the result of this marriage. "Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting Thruston's children were Charles M. Thruston, Sr., lawyer in Louisville from 1800 to 1856; Alfred Thruston, cashier of the Bank of Louisville in 1833; Algernon Thruston, Attourney General of Texas, killed at the side of Davy Crockett in "The Alamo:" Lucius Thruston, Louisville; Mrs. Kitty Luckett, Louisville; Mrs. Worden Pope, Louisville; Mrs, Mollie January, St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. Fanny Rector, of Arkansas; Mary Thruston, of Louisville, and John Thruston, II, Louisville. The children of the marriage of Col. Fontaine and Mrs. Thruston were Aaron B. Fontaine, Alexander Fontaine, Henry W. Fontaine and Emmeline Dillon Fontaine. .... have twenty six children .... ets of children in this ... family and the writer has ... distinction of being the ...grandson of Col. Aaron Fontaine and his two wives as well as Judge Fortunatus Cosby and his wife Mary Ann, and the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Thruston, Sr., the latter being a granddaughter of Col. Fontaine and the daughter of Judge Cosby. It is unusual that a grandson should be related on both sides to all the heads of the three families by direct blood descent. "There may be several omissions in this genealogy which the writer is not able to supply from his notes, but the data given is of sufficient scope to interest the large number of descendants of this extensive connection now living in Louisville.

They probably landed at Boston, Massachusetts, in 1634 or early in 1635, and likely lived for a few years at Roxbury, the sixth town incorporated in Massachusetts. Rowland Stebbins is said to have been an intimate friend of William Pynchon, who was one of the founders of Roxbury, and who in 1636, with six other men, founded the town of Agawam, Afterwards named Springfield, in remembrance of the said Mr. Pynchon, who had his mansion house at a town of that name, near Chelmsford in Essex before he removed to New England.@ The Stebbins family moved to Agawam in 1639. They worked hard to make a home in the wilderness, and were beginning to enjoy a measure of comfort as a result of their labors when in 1649 Sarah died. The town records of Springfield have some entries about Rowland Stebbins. The first one here cited pertains to a religious and social matter.

The women, as a rule, do not appear to have been assigned to particular seats, but occupied, in another part of the house, such as suited their own preferences.

He must be vouched for as orthodox in religion and a member of the church in good standing, at least twenty‑four years of age, at the head of a family, and a householder settled within the jurisdiction of the town where he sought to be admitted. To become a freeman, or Aadmitted inhabitant,@ he must present his desires to the General Court, asking for admittance to the freedom of the commonwealth, where his request was propounded to the court for acceptance. Those seeking admission from Springfield were propounded and vouched for as being of the required age, virtuous in their lives, and members of the church, by John Pynchon, who was frequently a member of the General Court. Rowland Stebbins moved, in his old age, to Northampton, Massachusetts, probably to live with his son John. He died December 14, 1671, after having been a widower for twenty‑two years.

Together they had 4 children born in Bocking, Thomas, Sarah, John and Elizabeth. The family emigrated to The New World aboard The Francis of Ipswich, which sailed from Ipswich, England the last day of April, 1634 (1). Rowland and Sarah first settled at Roxbury where they remained for three years. It has been said Rowland was an intimate friend of Springfield’s founder William Pynchon, and in 1639, the family removed to the newly founded Springfield. Sarah (Whiting) Stebbins’ death is recorded in Springfield “Sarah Stebbin, wife of Rowland Stebbin was buried ye 4th day of the 8th month, 1649” (3). Rowland remained in Springfield until 1668 when he and son John removed to Northampton.

The Wyoming County Mirror, recording his death, stated that at the commencement of the Revolution he lived in Connecticut, near Hartford. In 1776, he went to New York in the militia company of Lt. George Kellogg and Col. Chester. In April 1777> he enlisted for three years and served under Capt. Elisha Kimball, Col. John Chandler and Col. Joseph Hoit. He was in the battles of Germantown, Ft. Mifflin and Monmouth. During 1781 and 1782, he was in the team service under Capt; John Waters, Conductor of Teams. After the Revolution, he removed with several children to Granville, N.Y., then to Hampton and from there to Warsaw in 1821. He was an honorable man and retained his faculties up to near the end and the time of his death. He was a member of the Baptist Church. His wife, the mother of his children, was Abigail Flower, who died Aug. 25, 1832, aged 73 years. One of his sons, Nathan Whiting, and a brother-in-law, Col. Chauncey Sheldon,were among the Americans who joined the Canadian patriots in 1837» were captured and banished by the British Government to Van Dieman's Land. They were pardoned and returned to the United States some few years before the father's death. DAR application papers state that Mr. Whiting saw three years Revolutionary service as Private under Capt. Nehemiah Rice in Col. Chandler's 8th Connecticut Regt. In I8l8, he apnlied for a pension which was allowed. After his first wife's death, the old veteran married three more times; his second wife, Lucinda Whiting, his brother's widow, died Sept. 10, 1838, aged 67; his third was Mrs. Phebe Rich, widow of Peter Rich, and his fourth, the widow of Lyman Noble. ============================================= Portrait and Biographical Album of Racine and Kenosha Counties, Wisconsin ... tired life in Burlington, Wis., was born in U the town of Rupert, Bennington County, \'t., August 12, 1807.

Colonel and Brevet Brigadier General Henry Whiting was commissioned a Cornet of Dragoons, October 20, 1808 and served on the Niagara frontier in the War of 1812 with Great Britain. In the War with Mexico he served as Quartermaster General. His father, Col. John Whiting of the 5th U.S. Infantry was Adjutant of the 2d Regiment of the Massachusetts Line commanded by Lieut.-Col. Commandant E. Sproat. He preserved most if not all of the Orders from General Washington. These fascinating Orders cover matters great and small: the discipline of the troops, health and sanitation, the organization of the army and its support services, and a uniform system of manoeuvres. Throughout the Orders, Washington evidences deep concern for his soliders as well as civilians, a deep spirituality, and his gratitude for the support from France.

Captain Whiting's journal, pp. 3-10 The current is so furious as often to s,weep a man off his feet . . . compatible with a still later demonstration of a Lake Nipissing stage of Lake Michigan some 50 feet above modern levels. Whiting's discussion of the feasibility of a canal at Portage preceded by a decade, the promo- tion of the same idea by Morgan L. Martin, organizer of the company that built the Fox River im- provements. Whiting's watercolored field sketches of Fox-Wisconsin valley landscapes and maps are probably the oldest landscape paintings and maps of Wisconsin sites done dur- ing Michigan Territorial days by an American citizen. If the title "First Wisconsin Scientist" is accorded to the person who first published a series of es- sentially scientific observations and conclusions about Wisconsin phenomena, and if the title "First Wisconsin Artist" is accorded to the white American who first painted a Wisconsin scene, it would seem that Captain Henry Whiting should have at least a share in both titles. Whiting's Journal was a report to the US War Department describing the movement of the Fifth Infantry Regiment from Green Bay to Prairie du Chien. The American Army, after the War of 1812, had adopted a long-term policy of building and garrisoning a system of frontier forts extending from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. In Wisconsin and closely adjacent areas, for example, forts were built at Green Bay (Fort Howard) in 1816, Prairie du Chien (Fort Craw- ford) in 1817, Rock Island, Illinois (Fort Armstrong) in 1817, and St. Peters i.e. present day St. Paul, Minnesota (Fort Snelling) in 1819. A modest incident in the implemen- tation of this policy was the redeployment of the US Fifth In- fantry Regiment from Detroit to Green Bay to Prairie du Chien to St. Paul in the summer of 1819. Captain Whiting's Journal describing the route was illustrated by seven colored sketches and three maps; the report received commen- dation from the then Secretary of War, John C. Calhoun. Neither Journal sketches nor maps have ever been published. The sketches and maps are presented here for the first time together with extracts from the text. Captain Whiting was a career soldier in the United States Army. He was born into a military family on November 28, 1788, his father, John Whiting, having risen to the rank of brigadier general of the Massachusetts Militia in the American Revolution. At the time of his retirement at the end of the War of 1812 John Whiting was the lieutenant colonel of the US Fifth Infantry Regiment. We can surmise that young Henry Whiting was well educated for his day because of the percep- tive awareness of geology and physical geography expressed in his writing and also because of its scientific restraint. He apparently also had a detailed acquaintance with the physical geography of Europe from Spain to Sweden, which suggests that his education may have included travel in Europe. The fact that his sister, Carolyn Lee Whiting Hentz, was a noted 19th century author may also imply that Captain Whiting was at least as well-educated. In any case, Henry Whiting enlisted in the US Army on October 20, 1808, at the age of 20, as a coronet of light dragoons. Whiting's military history shows he was promoted to second lieuten- ant on September 15, 1809, and to first lieutenant on August 20, 1811. During the War of 1812 First Lieutenant Henry Whiting served on the Niagara frontier as an aid to General John F. Boyd and served with credit in the capture on May 27, 1813 of Fort George, a British- Canadian fort in the Canadian province of Ontario a short way down the St. Lawrence River from Lake Ontario. In 1815 Lieutenant Whiting was an aide to General Alexander Macomb at Detroit and was transferred on May 17, 1815 to the Fifth Infantry, his father's old regi- ment, then stationed at Detroit. Whiting was promoted to captain on March 3, 1817. In 1819 the Fifth Infantry was assigned the mission of traveling from Detroit to St. Peters, selecting a suitable site for a fort, then building and garrisoning what is known today as Fort Snell- ing at St. Paul, Minnesota. Pur- suent to these orders, Colonel Leavenworth and the Fifth Infan- try Regiment embarked on sailing vessel transports at Detroit in May 1819, sailed to Green Bay, reloaded their equipment and supplies into 4/Wisconsin Academy Review/September 1979 The State of Wisconsin Collection Home About Search Browse Copyright Help UWDC Display: Gallery view Page image Top of Form 1 Contents Section Page Bottom of Form 1 Durbin, Elizabeth (ed.) / Wisconsin Academy review Volume 25, Number 4 (September 1979) Goff, Charles D. Captain Whiting's journal, pp. 3-10 ======================= Page 5 32 batteaux, which had been built for them at Green Bay, and movedout toward the Mississippi River on June 7, 1819.After the Fifth Regiment reached the Mississippi, Colonel Leavenworth detached troops to garrison both Fort Crawford at Prairie du Chien and Fort Armstrong at Rock Island, Illinois,the remainder of the regiment proceeding upriver in their batteaux to St. Peters. Captain Whiting did not accompany the regiment up the Mississippi as he was ordered back to Detroit with messages for the commanding general, and with Whiting's own "survey" of the Fox-Wisconsin Rivers. Captain Whiting's Journal is a chronological account of each day's activity of the regiment in his march, and included meticulous observations concerning the depth of the water, the direction of the river virtually every time it changed from the principal points of the compass, and supplementary comments and speculations about the character and geographic origin of the terrain formations through which the regiment was passing. Whiting embellished his report to General Macomb with excellent field sketches which he water- colored. The report was forwarded by General Macomb to the US Secretary of War, John C. Calhoun,who commented, in a letter to Major General A. Macomb on September 20, 1819: Sir: Your letter . .. enclosing a copy of the survey of the Fox and Ouisconsin rivers including the portage by Capt. Henry Whiting . . . has been received. The accurate and able manner in which the sketch by Capt. Green Bay ... now contains about fifty houses and two or three hundred in- habitants, who are mostly French married to Indians. Whiting has been executed affords the Department much satisfaction....J.C.C. An outline of Whiting's subsequent career may help the reader to see him in better perspective. After completing his report on the Fifth Infantry's march from Green Bay to Prairie du Chien, Captain Whiting served on the staff of Ma- jor General Macomb at Detroit. He was transferred to the First Artillery on June 1, 1821, promoted to major in 1824, transferred to the quartermaster department in 1835,and promoted to lieutenant colonel on July 7, 1838, and to colonel on April 21, 1846. In the Mexican War Colonel Whiting was assigned to the army of General Zachary Taylor on July 6, 1846, as chief quartermaster. Colonel Whiting was a participant in the Battle of Buena Vista, was brevetted as brigadier general for his "gallant and meritorious conduct," and subsequently retired on February 23, 1847. On retirement from the army, Colonel Whiting returned to Detroit where he was elected a regent of the University of Michigan in 1848. In retirement he continued his lifelong interest in a wide variety of military, scientific and literary matters until his sudden death at St. Louis on September 16, 1851. As a tribute of . .beautiful banks, sloping to the water from a height of 20 or 30 feet and crowned with thrifty oaks. * 0 respect to Whiting's memory, the staff of the quartermaster department to which he had belonged were ordered by Major General Scott to wear the prescribed badge of mourning for 30 days. The publication record of Henry Whiting indicates that he possessed wide interests and impressive talents. His bibliography includes a book, The Age of Steam; a Biography of Zebulon Pike, which appeared in Sparks' American Biography; the editing of a volume, George Washington's Military Orders; and the joint authorship of a book, Historical and Scientific Sketches of Michigan. Whiting was a periodic contributor to the North American Review and seems to have been fascinated with American Indians. He published three narrative poems and his Sannillac, which had notes by Michigan governor Lewis Cass and the famous Indian agent/anthropologist/writer, Henry R. Schoolcraft. Captain Whiting's Journal was written when present day Wisconsin was part of Michigan Territory. The Fox-Wisconsin Rivers along which the Fifth Regiment voyaged had been fur trading country fortwo centuries. Hundreds of French and British explorers, fur traders,priests and soldiers had passed this way. Yet Whiting was an observer of these two valleys before more than a very few settlers had begun to live there permanently and before there were any significant works of man to change the wilderness face of the land.

Entering the United States Navy on March 1, 1841 as a midshipman, he was serving on the sloop “Levant” on July 7, 1846 when the American flag was first raised on the Pacific Coast at the capture of Monterey, California. He then attended the United States Naval Academy from 1847 to 1848 and was graduated. He was promoted to Lieutenant on September 14, 1855, and was serving on the steam frigate "Niagara" when the first Atlantic cable was laid in 1857. After the outbreak of the Civil War, he served as the executive officer of the sloop "USS Vandalia" at the capture of Port Royal in 1861, and commanded the steamer "USS Wyandotte" on the South Atlantic blockade and in the Potomac flotilla. He was promoted to Lieutenant Commander in July, 1862 and participated in the attacks on the defenses of Charleston while aboard the gunboat "USS Ottawa". From 1864 to 1865 he commanded the "USS Savannah," in the Eastern Gulf station. He held a succession of commander after the end of the war. On July 25, 1866, he received his commission as Commander and was aboard the steamer "USS Tioga", off the coast of Maine and in the Gulf. He was based at the New York Navy Yard, in Brooklyn, New York from 1867 to 1869 and from 1871 to 1872. In the North Atlantic, between 1869 and 1870, he commanded the sloop "USS Saratoga" and the monitor "USS Miantonomoh"(one of the last monitors built for the United States Navy). He was promoted to Captain, August 19, 1872, and commanded the steam sloop "USS Worcester," which was the flagship of the North Atlantic squadron from 1871 to 1875. During the first year of that cruise, he took out contributions of food and clothing from the American people for the relief of the French sufferers in the Franco-Prussian war. As there was no way to transport these contributions to the needed districts in the east of France, the stores were taken to Liverpool and London, where a favorable market realized a much larger sum of money than the actual cost of these stores in the United States. The American relief committee in France urged that the money was more needed than contributions in any other form. He was present at New Orleans during the political turmoil created by the overthrow of the Packard government. There he won the confidence of the citizens by the wise measures he initiated to stem the unrest. On June 11, 1878 he was appointed Chief of Bureau of Navigation with the rank of Commodore. Failing health and almost total blindness resulting from exposure incidental to his naval service compelled him to be relieved from this duty October 12, 1881. He was placed on the retired list, with the rank of Commodore, by special Act of Congress.

[tO ACCOMPANY BILL s.445) THE Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of Louisa T. Whiting, widow of Brevet Major Fabius Whiting, having had the same under consideration, beg leave to report: That it appears from the records of the War Department, "that Fabius Whiting was apointed second lieutenant, 10th February, 1812; promoted first lieutenant, 20th June, 1813; promoted captain 10th September, 1819; brevet major, 10th September 1829, for faithful service ten years in one grade; and died 16th May, 1842, at Lancaster, Massachusetts." His widow prays for a pension, and asserts that he died by reason of disabilities contractd while in the line of his duty in the service of the United States. It appears from Major Whiting's own affidavit, made in 1835, that while stationed at Fort Constitution he was severely injured in the right knee joint, by stepping upon a fragment of ice, and, his foot slipping, falling violently. This was at a late hour at night, on his return from the guard house, whither he had been on official duty. Date of the injury, 10th January, 1823. John Preble, who was on guard on that niht, corrobrates the statement of Major Whiting. A certified copy of an affidavit of J. Goodhue, who was as assitant surgeon, shows that he was called to attend Major Whiting the next morning,and found him so lame that he was obliged to use crutches. Z. Chickering, a sergeant in Captain Whiting's company, testifies that he did not see the fall, but was at the time informed of the circumstances, and knows that he was more or less lame from the injury until he (Chickering)left the service, some three years subsequently. Assistant Surgeon Berr--during which time he was oy certifies that he was stationed with Captain Whiting at Bellona arsenal, Virginia, about one year--in 1832 and 1833-- during which time he was constantly afflicted with a lameness in his right knee, which always, more or less, afflicted with a lameness in his right knee, which always, more of less, affected his joing, at times obliging him to limp in a marked manner. In 1834 Assistant Surgeon Martin certifies to hiscontinued disasbility from some internal disarrangement of his right knee joint. Sureon Z. Pitcher, United States army, in 1836, certifies to the same. Assistant Surgeon Archer,same year,corroborates the above. The following is a copy of the last report furnished to the Ward Department, February 28, 1842: "My patient, Major F. Whiting, of thefirst regiment United States artillery,remains nearly as reported January 31, 1842. His mind, I think, is becomming still more impaired than several weeks since, while his physical powers are not in the least improved. The chronic affections of the knee, liver, &c., remain without improvement. There does not appear to me to be a probability that he will ever be restored to anything like health again. "Respectfully, "Henry Lincoln, M.D." Your committee, therefore, after a careful examination of the case are of the opinion that the petitioner is entitled to relief, and report a bill accordingly. https://books.google.com/books?id=- G9HAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA437&lpg=PA437&dq=Major+Fabius+Whiting+Louisa+ T&source=bl&ots=B6TSShO myh&sig=GH738XSVtFNILEBsroJ4tVlppXw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=7q_FVMe2Esb- yQTetoC4Bg&ved=QCB4Q6AEwAA#V=onepage&q&f=false ============================ Memoir of Rev.

| 2489 | (John, Thomas, Rev John, Rev Joseph, Rev Samuel & Elizabeth ST. John) Seth Whiting 1787-1849 , Shrewsbury, Medfield, & Phillipston, MA; Rindge & Fitzwilliam, NH; Southborough, MA Seth Whiting was born in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts on April 4th 1787, the oldest son of John Lake and Olive Wyman Whiting. Seth Whiting began learning the brushmaking business by apprenticing with Artemus Woodward, a brushmaker in Medfield, Massachusetts, probably as early as 1807/8 (Seth would have been 22). "From Medfield, Mass., have come many brush manufacturers, the first of whom was Artemus Woodward, who began in 1807 making brushes in a small way, two of his apprentices being John W. Adams (a cousin of former President John Quincy Adams) and Seth Whiting (father of John L. Whiting)." ["Historical Sketch of the Paint, Oil, Varnish, and Allied Trades of Boston, Since 1800 A.D." by George L. Gould, 1914] "In 1808 Artemus Woodward founded a business in Medfield, Massachusetts to make his own brushes and it was reported to have been a 'business new to this section of the country.' At the time that his enterprise was begun brushes were usually imported from England and were quite expensive, although such items were lacking in quality. As a remedy, some skilled workers from Germantown, Pennsylvania were hired and worked under the supervision of Woodward. Seth Whiting and John Wickliffe Adams would acquire their brush making skills from these men. Woodward's business, however, lasted only a few years." [History of the Whiting-Adams Brush Company; http://www.efn.org/~marwes/en/projects/brush.htm] After leaving Artemus Woodward's shop, Seth Whiting and John Wickliffe Adams briefly went into business together: "John Wickliffe Adams was possessed of remarkable mechanical skills, as well as a good education. He established in 1811 at his homestead a brush manufacturing business and for a long time he conducted a thriving business selling the output to merchants in Boston. (Because the War of 1812 had caused the importation of brushes to be curtailed, his business prospered from its inception.) At about this same time Seth Whiting joined Adams, but their partnership existed only for a few years and upon its dissolution...Whiting went to Phillipston, Massachusetts." [History of the Whiting-Adams Brush Company; http://www.efn.org/~marwes/en/projects/brush.htm] On November 28, 1811, Seth Whiting married Susan Harding (daughter of Elias Harding of Medfield). The couple had 3 sons, all of whom died in infancy: twin sons died on March 22 and 23, 1813 at the age of 2 weeks old; a third son died on April 26, 1814 at 13 days old. Susan Harding Whiting died on April 19th 1814 of "puerpal fever" (fever caused by complications of childbirth). Seth Whiting's partnership with John W. Adams must have been over early in 1813, when he moved to Phillipston, Massachusetts; Massachusetts Vital Records show that Seth's infant sons died in Phillipston in March 1813. Seth started his own brushmaking business in Phillipston. The following ad appearing in newspapers in November, 1813: "Hog's Bristles Wanted. Cash and the highest price given for BRISTLES--Also, all kinds of Brushes made and fo'd, Painters' Brushes in particular, warranted equal to any made in America. Orders for Brushes carefully attended to, and favours thankfully acknowledged. Seth Whiting. Gerry, Nov. 15, 1813." ["Gerry" is the old name of Phillipston, Massachusetts] Seth Whiting married Mary (Meribah) Kendall on November 30, 1815 in Phillipston, Massachusetts. According to Phillipston town records, marriage intentions were declared on November 11th, 1815. They had the following children: Henry and Seth Whiting (twins), b. 10/26/1816 in Phillipston, Massachusetts. Henry died 7/26/1819 in Phillipston. The Kendall genealogy mentions Seth, but I can't find any mention of him in Massachusetts Vital Records (although his brother Henry's birth and death both appear). Susan Harding Whiting, b. 10/25/1818 in Phillipston. She married Elihu Coburn of Hopkinton on August 24, 1842 in Southborough. Lucius Henry Whiting, b. 6/16/1821 in Phillipston. He never married. The 1880 Federal census shows him as a "retired salesman" and boarder at a home in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire. He does not appear in the 1890 census. According to Southborough Rural Cemetery records, he died in 1893. He and his brother Jonas are buried with their parents at the Southborough Rural Cemetery. John Lake Whiting, b. 3/28/1823. Married Mary Betsey Sawin, and followed his father into the brushmaking business. Mary Kendall Whiting, b. 9/2/1825. She married Charles Dustin Marcy on 11/22/1849 in Southborough, and died on April 6, 1900. Jonas Miles Whiting, b. 9/13/1827 (Royalston, MA). He never married. The 1880 Federal census shows him as being an inmate at Worcester Lunatic Hospital. According to Southborough Rural Cemetery records, he died in 1893. He and his brother, Lucius Henry Whiting, are buried with their parents at the Southborough Rural Cemetery. Ira Stratton Whiting, b. 9/25/1829 in Shrewsbury or Phillipston, Mass. (mentioned in the Kendall genealogy, but I find no record of him elsewhere) Anstis Amelia Whiting, b. 4/12/1832 probably in Rindge, New Hampshire. She married Thomas Henderson Roberts on May 17, 1855 in Boston, and died September 23, 1887. Olive Matilda Whiting, b. 10/10/1834 in Rindge, New Hampshire. She married Merrill Davis on July 28, 1854 in Boston, and died January 21, 1869 in Worcester. By February 1817, Seth Whiting was in business with his brother-in-law, Reuben Foster Blood (husband of Relief Whiting). The following ad appeared in newspapers: "Copartnership formed. The subscribers respectfully inform the Inhabitants of Phillipston, and the Public, that they have formed a connection in business, under the Form of WHITING & BLOOD, a few rods north of Phillipston Meeting-House, where they offer for sale a general assortment of English, West-India, & Hard-Ware GOODS; Crockery, Glass, and Hollow Ware; Window-Glass; Brass Kettles; Andirons, etc.--Also, Cut and Wrought Nails; Dye-Stuffs, and Paints. They also manufacture and keep constantly for sale, BRUSHES of all kinds, and of the first quality. The above named Goods they offer cheap for Cash, or approved Credit; and they humbly solicit the patronage of the Inhabitants of Phillipston, and the Public,--All orders shall be strictly attended to, and the least favor gratefully acknowledged, by the Public's humble Servants, Seth Whiting, Reuben F. Blood, Phillipston, February 1, 1817. N.B. Cash given for Bristles." By the following year, the partnership was dissolved: "NOTICE!!

SETH WHITING, REUBEN F. BLOOD, Phillipston, January 19, 1818." The ad goes on to say: "SETH WHITING informs his Friends and the Public, that he continues his business at the Store formerly occupied by Whiting & Blood, where he has for sale--a general assortment of ENGLISH & W.I. GOODS and GROCERIES--Hard and Hollow Ware--Paints and Painters' Oil--Dye-Stuffs, &c, &c, &c, which he will sell on good terms for Cash, Produce, or liberal credit. N.B. Cash, and the highest price, given for HOGS' BRISTLES." The 1820 Federal census shows Seth Whiting as living in Phillipston, Massachusetts, along with: 1 male under the age of 15 (Seth, Jr.?) 1 male under the age of 18 (?) 4 males under the age of 25 (?; Seth's brother Henry was 24 at the time and might have been living with them) 1 male between 26 and 45 (Seth Whiting was 33 at the time) 1 female under the age of 9 (Seth & Meribah's daughter, Susan, aged 2) 1 female under the age of 18 (?) 2 females under the age of 25 (Meribah was 26; Seth's sister Sarah was 23) 1 female under the age of 45 (? Seth's mother Olive would have been 58 at the time) I don't really know the make-up of this large clan of people. Some might have been members of Seth or Mary Kendall Whiting's families. The four males under the age of 25 might have been apprentices. Seth and his family moved around a lot during the 1820s and 1830s. Land records for Stratton, Vermont show that Seth Whiting was living in Templeton, MA in 1822: "363 – Seth Whiting of Templeton, MA (brush maker) to John Sanderson of Petersham, MA east half of 1L2R (previously deeded to John Sanderson by Nathaniel Moulton in 1818) on 2/13/1822." By 1823 (the birth of John Lake Whiting), the family was in Shrewsbury. By 1825 (the birth of Mary Whiting), they were in Royalston, where they probably stayed until the early 1830s. I can't find Seth Whiting in the 1830 census. The following piece about Seth Whiting's nephew, Charles Emerson Blood, appeared in the Congregational Quarterly (1866): "Rev. Charles Emerson Blood was born in Mason, N.H., March 1, 1810. His father's name was Reuben Foster Blood. His mother's maiden name was Relief Whiting. While he was a mere child, his father died, leaving the family with very limited means of support. After spending several years on a farm, he went to Royalston [in 1827] to learn the trade of brush-making [presumably with his uncle, Seth Whiting]. There he had little opportunity to gratify an ardent desire for mental improvement, and his associations were such as to greatly endanger his morals. Referring to that period, he afterwards said, 'I have wondered many times that I did not become a confirmed drunkard.'" [http://books.google.com/books?id=S-nNAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA302&lpg=PA302&dq=%22Reuben+Foster+Bl ood%22&source=bl&ots=q7pO4SGvyR&sig=w-Dztt_EhasmViU5CEMnv9MxFTE&hl=en&ei=f9BuTOC sJ8Hflgf6ovzvDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CA8Q6AEwAw#v=onepage& q=%22Reuben%20Foster%20Blood%22&f=false] Sometime in the early 1830s, Seth and his family moved to Rindge, New Hampshire. They were definitely there by 1832 (the birth of Anstis Amelia Whiting). From the History of Rindge, NH: "Brushes of many styles were formerly made by Seth Whiting. He commenced the manufacture in the building connected with the dwelling-house of Miss Millie Walker, and subsequently built a large shop on the site of the wheelwright shop of E. B. Cutler. He removed from the town about 1836, and the business was not continued by other parties." ("History of the Town of Rindge, New Hampshire From the Date of the Rowley Canada or Massachusetts Charter to the Present Time, 1736-1874" by Ezra S. Stearns. Boston: 1875, p. 308-309.) The Whitings next moved to Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire. "In the spring of 1836 Seth Whiting, a brushmaker, came to Fitzwilliam from Rindge. His chief business here was the preparation of the palm-leaf for the hat-braiders and the manufacture of brooms from the waste material of the palm-leaf. Later he removed to Boston and resumed the manufacture of brushes." ("History of Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, From 1752 to 1887" by John Foote Norton and Joel Whittemore, 1888, p. 414.) "One unusual 'cottage industry' that thrived for 45 years in Fitzwilliam was the making of palm leaf hats. Women and children wove them in their homes from about 1830 to 1875. So active were the women in this sideline that Reverend Sabin stated in 1835 (in an historical lecture) that this was the most profitable occupation in town. One of the dealers in palm leaf was Seth Whiting, a brushmaker who came to town in 1836. He lived in one of the houses previously referred to on Upper Troy Road near the Inn, importing, preparing, and supplying the palm leaf to the women who braided it into hats. Whiting then made brooms from the waste material of the palm leaf. The advantages to the town's housewives and the marketability of these hats can be seen in an advertisement Dr. Wittemore published for his general store. He offered to sell or barter goods in exchange for "CASH, produce, Palm Leaf Hats or Good Credit." [From Living Places-Fitzwilliam Common Historic District: http://www.livingplaces.com/NH/Cheshire_County/Fitzwilliam_Town/Fitzwilliam_Common_Historic_District .html] I'm not sure when they lived in Boston, but by 1840 Seth and his family were living in West Boylston, Massachusetts (1840 Federal Census). By August 1842 (the date of Susan Harding Whiting's marriage to Elihu Coburn), the Whitings were living in Southborough (Fayville), Massachusetts, where Seth Whiting died on April 3, 1849 of lung fever. He was 1 day short of his 62nd birthday. He and his wife, Meribah Kendall Whiting, and two of their sons[Jonas Miles Whiting and Lucius Henry Whiting] are buried in the Southborugh, Massachusetts Rural Cemetery. The following appeared in the Clyde, New York Democratic Herald sometime between 1896 and 1899 (found in http://fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html): "Brush making was a crude affair until American ingenuity became interested in it. The first great inventor of methods used in brush making in this country was Seth Whiting, who in 1807 was a brush manufacturer in Medfield, Mass., and as early as during the War of 1812 obtained such a foothold with dealers in Boston that it has been impossible for English manufacturers to ever regain their hold on the American market. Since his day, many other improvements have been made, but methods invented by him are still at the foundation of the business."

A Genealogical Dictionary Of The First Settlers of New England, Before 1692 by James Sabage ====================== History of Knox County, Illinois: Its Cities, Towns and People, Volume 2, Part 2 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. http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA871&lpg=PA871&dq=John+Whiting+Jerusha+Lord&id=OU00AQAAMAAJ&ots=zibB_7Xqps&output=text ====================== COLONEL JOHN WHITING, son of Joseph and Anna (Allyn) Whiting, was born in Hartford, December 15, 1693.

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. John Whiting Col Hooker's Regiment 1777 Died 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.

Jasper Strong Whiting (Levi) was born about 1827 in Louisiana. He died on 25 Dec 1862 in Richmond, Richmond, Virginia. He was buried in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Richmond, Virginia. Jasper S. Whiting applied to West Point for the 1847-1848 year. It is unclear whether he attended or not, but in any event he did not enter the military. Based on information posted online by the San Joaquin Historical Society, it appears that Whiting moved to Stocton, San Joaquin, California in 1849/1850. In 1850, he was one of the founders of a new Episcopal church in the town and, in July 1851, he was appointed as county surveryor, a position he held until 1854. In 1852, the California State census finds Jasper working as a "civil engineer" in San Joaquin County, California. At the time, his brother Robert is living with him. Both Jasper Whiting and his brother Robert were volunteer firemen in Weber Engine Company No. 1, Stockton, San Joaquin, California in the early 1850s. Whiting co-patented a new type of "ore washer" used in mining operations in 1856. The 22 Nov 1859 issue of the "Stocton Daily Argus" newspaper (Stocton, San Joaquin, California) reports that Jasper S. Whiting had just returned from several months in Washington, District of Columbia and was now head of a surveying party in Sonora, San Joaquin, California. The article indicates that Whiting had been a previous resident of Stockton, but had lived in Sonora for several years. Evidently, in 1860, Jasper returned to the East Coast to visit family and them moved on to New Mexico, where he was living in 1860-1861. He appears in the 1860 census twice. He is listed with his mother, brother Robert, and two sisters in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut in June of 1860 and again at Camp Jecker, Arizona-New Mexico Territory in September of that year, working as a civil engineer. It is probable that Jasper Strong Whiting met Louisa Ingraham while he was in Washington in 1859. After the Civil War started in April 1861, Jasper applied to serve in the Confederate Army. On 14 Jul 1861, he was appointed a Major in the Adjutant General's Office and was assigned to serve General Gustavus Smith in Richmond, Richmond, Virginia. After General Smith suffered health problems in Jun 1862, Whiting was assigned to serve General Stonewall Jackson. He died of scarlet fever on 25 Dec 1862 in Richmond. Jasper married Louisa Harriet Ingraham "Ella" on 30 May 1861 in Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina. Louisa was born on 8 May 1834 in Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina. She died on 2 Oct 1885 in Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland. She was buried in Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina. Louisa was the daughter of Duncan Nathaniel Ingraham (1802- 1891) and Harriott Horry Laurens (1813-1888). Duncan Ingraham joned the U.S. Navy in 1812 and in March 1856 he was appointed Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography and the family moved to Washington, District of Columbia. He served in this position until 1860 when he took command of the flag ship USS Richmond assigned to the Mediterranean and his family returned to live in Charleston, Charleston, South Carolna. The family is found living in Washington in the 1860 census. When Ingraham learned that South Carolina had left the Union, he resigned from the US navy on 4 February 1861 and offered his services to the Confederacy. He was appointed Captain in the Confederate navy on 26 March 1861, serving as Commander of the Charleston Naval District until the end of the war. It is probable that Louisa met Jasper Strong Whiting while he was in Washington in 1859. The 1870 census finds Ella Ingraham (28) and her son Jasper (7) living with her parents in Charleston Ward 2, Charleston, South Carolina. Evidently, Ella died in Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland while visiting her sister. Jasper and Louisa had on child: Jasper Strong Whiting Jr. was born about 1862 in Pendleton, Anderson, South Carolina. He died on 6 Dec 1896 in Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina. The cause of death was cardiac congestion. He was buried in Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina. Jasper never married. In 1880, the census finds Jasper Whiting (16) living with his aunt and uncle Harriott and W.B. Hall in Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland where he is attending school. Harriott Hall is Ella Ingraham's sister. On 1 May 1885, the Minnesota Territorial and State Census finds Jasper S. Whiting (23) living in St. Paul Ward 6, Ramsey, Minnesota. From his Charleston County, South Carolina death certificate, we learn Jasper's place of birth and the date, place, and cause of his death. ==================================== Name: Jasper S Whiting Race: White Gender: Male Birth Place: Louisiana Estimated birth year: abt 1827 Age: 25 Occupation: Civil Engineer Residence County: San Joaquin Source Citation: California State Library; Sacramento, California; 1852 California State Census; Roll #: 4; Repository Collection #: C144:4; Page: 6; Line:16,17. http://interactive.ancestry.com/1767/32300_224255-00817/110299?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.com%2fcgi-bin%2fsse.dll%3fdb%3d1852californiastatecensus%26rank%3d1%26new%3d1%26MSAV%3d1%26msT%3d1%26gss%3dangs-i%26gsfn%3dJasper%26gsfn_x%3dNN%26gsln%3dWhiting%26gsln_x%3dNN%26msbdy%3d1828%26msbpn__ftp%3dMassachusetts%26cpxt%3d0%26catBucket%3drstp%26uidh%3dyxz%26cp%3d12%26indiv%3d1%26pf%3d1%26recid%3d%26h%3d110299%26fh%3d0%26ct%3d%26fsk%3d%26bsk%3d&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnRecord =========================== Jasper L Whiting in the 1860 United States Federal Census NAME: Jasper L Whiting AGE IN 1860: 32 BIRTH YEAR: abt 1828 BIRTHPLACE: Louisiana HOME IN 1860: Hartford District 3, Hartford, Connecticut GENDER: Male POST OFFICE: Hartford VALUE OF REAL ESTATE: View image HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS: NAME AGE May A Whiting 60 born: New York Robert Whiting 27 civil Engineer born: New York Mary Whiting 16 born: Maine Anna Whiting 15 born: Maine Jasper L Whiting 32 civil Engineer born: Louisiana Mary Mitcheal 25 servant born: Ireland Source Citation Year: 1860; Census Place: Hartford District 3, Hartford, Connecticut; Roll: M653_78; Page: 269; Image: 163; Family History Library Film: 803078 http://interactive.ancestry.com/7667/4211337_00163/15855541?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.com%2f%2fcgi-bin%2fsse.dll%3fdb%3d1860usfedcenancestry%26indiv%3dtry%26h%3d15855541&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnRecord ============================ Maj Jasper S.

W. H. C. Whiting, military officer, son of Levi and Mary A. Whiting, was born in Biloxi, Mississippi, on March 22, 1824. At the time of his birth his father was a captain in the First Artillery, United States Army. Whiting was an academic genius who entered Boston English High School, the nation's first public high school, at age twelve. He graduated as the valedictorian two years later and entered Georgetown College (later Georgetown University), graduating second in his class at age sixteen. He entered the United States Military Academy in 1841 and graduated at the head of his class on July 1, 1845. His grade average was the highest of any previous student at West Point, where he was first in every subject all four years. Upon graduation Whiting was commissioned Second Lieutenant, Corps of Engineers, and assigned duty as assistant engineer at Pensacola, Florida. There he helped supervise repairs and improvements at military installations in the area until 1848, when he was assigned duty in Texas to scout a wagon road between San Antonio and El Paso. That partially successful expedition came to be known as the Whiting and Smith expedition, which located what would become the southern commercial and military route between the two cities. He then surveyed the frontier forts of Texas, submitting his report January 21, 1850. During the 1850s Whiting was involved in engineering projects in California, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. One of his projects in Texas appears to have been the clearing of the Colorado River raft. In his report of December 9, 1852, to the Corps of Engineers in Washington, he reported favorably on the work already done by the Colorado Navigation Company. He recommended a plan of action that was adopted by the Secretary of War. In April 1857 he married Kate Walker, the daughter of Maj. John Walker. His last two army assignments were at Fort Pulaski, Georgia, and Fort Clinch, Florida. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Whiting resigned from the United States army on February 20, 1861, and joined the Confederate army; he was considered one of the most capable of Confederate engineers. By July 1861 he was a brigadier general commanding two brigades, one of which was Hood's Texas Brigade. During the battles around Richmond, Whiting was a major general and was suffering from chronic fatigue. He asked for and received a medical furlough. In 1864 he was at Cape Fear, near Petersburg and Drewry Bluff. He was wounded in the leg at Fort Fisher and taken prisoner. He died at Fort Columbus, Governors Island, New York, on March 10, 1865, and was buried at Oakdale Cemetery in Wilmington, North Carolina.

William Henry Chase Whiting was born on 22 Mar 1824 in Biloxi, Harrison, Mississippi. He died on 10 Mar 1865 in Fort Columbus, Governor's Island, New York City, New York. He was buried in Oakdale Cemetery, Wilmington, New Hanover, North Carolina. The Cape Lookout Lighthouse was constructed by the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, under the supervision of Capt. William Henry Chase Whiting (1824-1865). In May 1857, Whiting submitted "tracings of section and elevation of 1st order L.H. Tower" to the Lighthouse Board. His "tracings" reflected the design criteria established by Lt. Jenkins in 1851. Whiting was an academic genius who entered Boston English High School, the nation's first public high school, at age twelve. He graduated as valedictorian two years later and entered Georgetown College (later Georgetown University), graduating second in his class at age sixteen. He entered the United States Military Academy in 1841 and graduated at the head of his class as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Engineer Corps on July 1, 1845. After graduation, Whiting was assigned duty as assistant engineer at Pensacola, Florida. There, he helped supervise repairs and improvements at military installations in the area until 1848, when he was assigned duty in Texas to scout a wagon road between San Antonio and El Paso. That expedition came to be known as the "Whiting and Smith Expedition", which located what would become the important southern commercial and military route between the two cities. On 22 April 1857, he married Katherine Davis Walker (1836- 1901), the daughter of John Walker and his wife Eliza Morehead Davis, in Wilmington, New Hanover, North Carolina. Whiting was promoted to First Lieutenant on March 16, 1853 and to Captain on December 13, 1858. In 1860, he was in Savannah, Chatham, Georgia overseeing improvements to defenses along the Savannah River. The 1860 census lists him living in "barracks" at Savannah, Chatham, Georgia as "Captain, U.S. Engineer Crops". He resigned from the U.S. Army on 20 February 1861 to join the Confederate Army as a Major in the Confederate Engineer Corps. His first assignment was to aid General P. T. Beauregard in improving the defenses of Charleston harbor in South Carolina. By July 1861 he was a brigadier general commanding two brigades. In November 1862, Whiting was assigned to the Cape Fear District of North Carolina to keep the port of Wilmington open. He was promoted to Major General in February 1863 and placed in command of the District. During attacks on Fort Fisher by Federal forces in late 1864 and early 1865, he refused to usurp the command of Col. William Lamb at the fort and participated in the battles as a "volunteer" under Lamb's command. He was wounded in the leg during the Second Battle of Fort Fisher and taken prisoner on 15 January 1865. He died of dysentery on 10 March 1865 and was buried at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York (where his brother Robert was superintendent of the cemetery). In 1900, his body was moved to Oakdale Cemetery (Section D, Lot 47) in Wilmington, New Hanover, North Carolina and his wife Kate was buried with him in 1901. Oakdale Cemetery records list Whiting as having died at Fort Hamilton, New Jersey. This is in error, as letters written by Whiting on 9 February 1865 and 2 March 1865, along with New York City newspaper accounts of his funeral published following his death, clearly show that Whiting was being held in the hospital at Fort Columbus, Governor's Island, New York City, New York when he died. An original drawing of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse is noted "Drawn under the direction of Lieut. Wm. H. C. Whiting, Corps Engr." This drawing is undated, but since we know that Whiting was promoted from Lieutenant to Captain in late1858, this drawing had to have been prepared prior to the lighthouse's completion and was probably part of the design drawings, even though "as-built" changes were made it (apparently after 1873, since the "checkers" daymark specified in 1873 is illustrated). On September 19, 1859, the Lighthouse Board issued the following announcement: "Official information has been received at this office from Captain W. H. C. Whiting, Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, that the new lighthouse at Cape Lookout has been completed…. The new lighthouse will be lighted for the first time at sunset on Tuesday, the first day of November next, and will be kept burning that and every night thereafter until further orders….." Evidently, William and Kate had no children. One source does indicate that they had a son, but no record has yet been found to document this. A detailed history of Whiting's military career is provided in an address delivered by C.B. Denson, who served under Whiting in the Engineer Service of the Confederate Army, delivered in Raleigh, Wake, North Carolina on 10 May 1895. A complete transcription is available at http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%.... And, an extensive discussion of the Cape Fear Campaign and the role played by Whiting is provided in "The Wilmington Campaign: Last Rays of Departing Hope" by Chris E. Fonvielle, Jr. William married Katherine Davis Walker "Kate" on 22 Apr 1857 in Wilmington, New Hanover, North Carolina. Katherine was born on 14 Oct 1836 in North Carolina. She died on 21 Nov 1901 in Wilmington, New Hanover, North Carolina. She was buried in Oakdale Cemetery, Wilmington, New Hanover, North Carolina. Katherine was the daughter of John Walker (b. abt. 1792, England) and his wife Eliza Morehead Davis (b. abt. 1805, North Carolina), who married on 12 Jul 1821 in Cumberland County, North Carolina. In 1850, the census finds Kate living with her parents in Wilmington, New Hanover, North Carolina. However, while there is a census record for her parents in 1860, no 1860 census record for Kate appears. While she was probably in Savannah, Chatham, Georgia with her husband in 1860, no documentation to prove this has yet been found. In 1870, the census lists Kate D. Whiting (30, widow) living with her mother Eliza M. Walker (65, widow) in Wilmington, New Hanover, North Carolina with brothers James A. Walker (35), Henry D. Walker (25), and Calhoun C. Walker (29). The 1880 census lists Kate D. Whiting (42, widow) living with her mother Eliza M. Walker (75, widow) in Wilmington, New Hanover, North Carolina with brothers James A. Walker (44), Henry D. Walker (37), and Caldwell C. Walker (28) and sister Mariah A. Mebane. In 1900, the census lists Catherine D. Whiting (63, widow) living with her brother James A. Walker (65) and sister Maria A. Fosgate (48) in Wilmington Ward 4, New Hanover, North Carolina. http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.connecticut.counties.newhaven/1719.3.1/mb.ashx ====================================== Gen William Henry Chase Whiting Memorial Photos Flowers Edit Share Birth: Mar. 22, 1824 Biloxi Harrison County Mississippi, USA Death: Mar. 10, 1865 Governors Island New York County (Manhattan) New York, USA Civil War Confederate Major General. Born in Biloxi, Mississippi, the son of Lieutenant Colonel Levi Whiting received a local education and then entered the United States Military Academy to study engineering. His brilliance was well known around the West Point campus and it surprised no one that he graduated 1st in the class of 1845, with the highest scholastic record ever attained by a cadet until that time. As a rising young Captain in the Corps of Engineers, he was engaged in river and harbor improvements until he resigned February 20, 1861. Joining the Confederate Army in early 1861 as chief engineer with Joseph E. Johnston's Army of the Shenandoah, he held the rank of Major. This was the beginning of a military career that showed him to be an excellent engineer but a disappointment as a field commander. The latter was largely because of his pessimistic nature and his inability to get along with certain fellow officers. His soldiers called him "Little Billy" due to his diminutive height. In August 1861, after he had arranged the transfer of Johnston's army to Manassas, Virginia, he so impressed Jefferson Davis that he was promoted three grades to Brigadier General. He commanded a division on the Manassas lines and was the center of an argument between Johnston and Davis. The Confederate President wanted him to command a brigade of Mississippi troops, however Johnston felt that to move troops many miles in the face of the enemy was simply suicidal. He later served in the Yorktown, Seven Pines and Seven Days' Campaigns. It was during this time that he moved in to reinforce Major General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. He personally took a dislike to Jackson for no other reason than simple petty jealousy. He became ill and was granted some time to rest. Robert E. Lee, who had succeeded Johnston, recognized his faults but realized that he was a good engineer. To avoid trouble in the field, and to make room for John B. Hood, Lee had him transferred to command of the military district at Wilmington, North Carolina. There he put to good use his engineering abilities by erecting Fort Fisher, the South's strongest bastion. He was promoted to Major General on April 22, 1863. In May 1864 he was assigned to help General Pierre G. T. Beauregard stop Union troops besieging Richmond from the east. His failure to do so led to charges that at the time he was either drunk or under the influence of narcotics. He personally requested his transfer back to Wilmington. In the successful Union attack on Fort Fisher on January 15, 1865, he was wounded twice. Later captured, he was imprisoned on Governor's Island in New York harbor, where he gradually strengthened and his wounds were healing well. Suddenly, within days, he came down with diarrhea and dysentery, too weak to even sign a letter. He would die 12 days short of his 41st birthday and only a few miles from his beloved West Point, where it would be decades before his academic achievements were surpassed.

Whiting and his role in the design and construction of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse in North Carolina. Please review the following and advise if corrections are required or if you have additional information. Levi Whiting was born on 27 Jan 1790 in Lancaster, Worcester, Massachusetts. He died on 3 Aug 1852 in Naugatuck, New Haven, Connecticut. He was buried in Hillside Cemetery, Naugatuck, New Haven, Connecticut. Levi was the son of Timothy Whiting (1758–1826) and Abigail Kidder (1759–1798). The Whiting family is descended from a Samuel Whiting (1633-1713) who immigrated from England to Massachussetts. Levi was an artilliary officer in the U.S. Army, serving from 1812 until the time of death in 1852. At his death, he was a Lieutenant Colonel in the First Artilliary Regiment, U.S. Army. The 1850 census finds the family living in New Utrecht, Kings, New York and lists Levi Whiting (60, Lt. Col., Army), Mary A. (49), William H.C. (29, Lt., Army), Robert E. K. (17), Mary (6), and Anna C. (5). Rhode Island coastal artillery batteries from 1903 until 1946 were named in honor of Levi Whiting. The First "Battery Whiting" was a reinforced concrete, Endicott Period 3 inch coastal gun battery on Fort Getty, Newport, Rhode Island. Battery construction started in January 1903, was completed in September 1903, and transferred to the Coastal Artillery for use 7 Jun 1910. Guns and carriages moved in 1942. The second "Battery Whiting" was a reinforced concrete, World War II 3 inch coastal gun battery at Fort Burnside, Newport, Rhode Island. Battery construction began on 5 May 1942, was completed on 15 Sep 1942, and transferred to the Coastal Artillery for use 29 Aug 1942. It was deactivated in 1946. Levi married Mary Ann . Mary was born about 1801 in Maine. She died about 1872 in New York. The 1860 census finds Mary A. Whiting (60, widow) living in Hartford District 3, Hartford, Connecticut. Listed in this record are Robert Whiting (27, civil engineer), Mary Whiting (16), Anna Whiting (15), and Jasper L. Whiting (32, civil engineer). In 1870, Mary A. Whiting (69) is found living with her son Robert's family in Yonkers, Westchester, New York. Records indicate that Mary received a widow's pension from the Army from 1853 through 1872, so 1872 is probably her death year. Levi and Mary had the following children: http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.connecticut.counties.newhaven/1719.3.1/mb.ashx ============================== | Whiting, Lieutenant Colonel Levi (I14396)

Along the river, running down toward Brewster's Neck, were two farms;. the upper belonging to .John Downs, and the lower to Joseph Elderkin. These farms, after several times changing owners, were purchased at dif- ferent periods, the upper by Jabez Perkins, and the lower by Nathaniel Backus. Capt. Perkins bought also the Fitch farm and other lands in the neighborhood. His wife was the daughter of Mr. Backus, and on the decrease of the latter in 1787, the Elderkin farm fell to her by inheritance, which brought the eastern bank of the river for a considerable distance into the ownship of Capt. Perkins and his wife. The only child of this couple that lived to maturity was Mary, the wife of Capt. Daniel Whjt- ing, and the two children of his daughter dying without issue, the estate, agreeably to the will of Capt. Perkins reverted in fee simple to their father, Captain Whiting. The Indian name of this tract WaS Shipscattuck. In l860 the road to Poquetannock was called the Shipscattuck path. The original grantees in this quarter were Robert Roath, Owen Wi1liams, Josiah Rockwell, Benjamin Fitch, John Eldcrkin: these were Shipscattuck proprietors.. At a later period the dwcllings of Thomas Danforth and Micheal Pepper were said to be at These grants were all in East or Long Society. which in 1786 was dis- severed from Norwich by legislative authority and annexed to Preston. Perkins and Whiting were the proprietors on this bank of the river for more than sixty years. A large proportion of the land was rugged and unptoductive; it was therefore but partially cleared and cultivated. After coming into the possession of Capt. Whiting, the only dwelling was A small farm-house pleasantly situated on tile river, but with no road lead- ing to it except. a pent-way through the woods. The farm-house has since expanded into the costly and eccentric villa of Sunnyside. https://books.google.com/books?id=DlWDnPZo4K0C&pg=PA575&lpg=PA575&dq=captain+Edward+Whiting+Perkins&source=bl&ots=h5uOWLJf4o&sig=_60qapz5MvbotWrKbA5v8chGJjs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=TFfQVPP3JtinyATbhID4DA&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=captain%20Edward%20Whiting%20Perkins&f=false History of Norwih | Whiting, Captain Edward (I25582)
