- John and Lucy's lives, as well as their children, including > Oliver, were very well documented in "American Genealogist", Vol. XVII, No. > 1, p. 230, "The Whitings of Fryeburg, Maine". From that information it was > clear that Oliver married Hannah McKeen in Amherst, Hillsborough County, NH > in 1785. It is also clear that his father John was in Fryeburg, Maine by> 1785. Oliver and Hannah were in Fryeburg, Maine in 1786 thru 1797 where > they had a son Oliver in 1790. This Oliver married Lucy Heald of Fryeburg > in 1819. Please note that Amherst is in Hillsborough County. There is also > a Hillsborough, NH which is in Hillsborough County a considerable distance > from Amherst. > > So there is a connection between the Steuben County WHITINGS and these > WHITINGS of Maine, but farther back to your John's father, John Whiting, > born October 14,1699 in Billerica. He married Sarah Hunt. This John > Whiting (b. 1699) is the son of Oliver (born 1665) and Anna Danforth. > Oliver and Anna are the common ancestors between these lines (yours and > ours). > > Lisa mentions another Steuben County, NY line in Jasper, NY. There is > probably a good connection between hers and ours, but it sounds like a > closer connection to yours. This is the first time I have heard about this > Jasper, NY branch. Also, don't have any WOODWARDs in my file. Our line > moved to Steuben County, by 1819. When was your Oliver born? When and > where did he marry Huldah? > > Bill Barber > >
