      ID: IND00153 Name: REV. JOHN WHITING Sex: M Birth: 20 JUN 1681 Death: 4 MAY 1752 Note: BORN-LYNN MA. DIED- CONCORD, MA. MARRIED ABOUT 1712. GRADUATED HARVARD 1700 AND WAS ORDAINED AT CONCORD, MA. 14 MAY 1712 Note: Source- History of Concord "The Rev. John Whiting died May 4, 1752, aged 71. He was the son son of the Rev. Joseph Whiting, who was graduated at Harvard College in 1661, and was afterwards minister of South Hampton, Long Island. His mother, I suppose, was daughter of the Hon. Thomas Danforth of Cambridge, deputy governor of Massachusetts colony; and as he died without issue, perhaps a good portion of his estate desended to Mr. Whiting. His grandfather was the Rev. Samuel Whiting of Lynn, whose last wife was Elizabeth St. John, daughter of the Right Honorable Oliver St. John, nephew to the Rev. Peter Bulkeley, and mentioned in the History Of England. The father of Rev. Samuel was John Whiting, Mayor of the city of Boston, Lincolnshire.
      The Rev. John of Concord, was the sixth son of the Rev. Joseph Whiting, the five preceeding him having died in infancy. He was born at Lynn, June 20, 1681. He was graduated at Harvard College in 1700, and was subsequently chosen a tutor and fellow of that institution. He was pastor of the church in Concord about Twenty six years. After his dismissal, he resided in this town principally as a private citizen. He was a man of wealth, learning, influence and talents; and, as his modest epitaph informs us, " a gentleman of singular hospitality and generosity, who never detracted from the character of any man, and was a universal lover of mankind."
      He married Mary, daughter of Rev. John Cotton of Hampton, New Hampshire, and granddaughter of the Rev. Seaborn Cotton."
