John and Isabel Whiting
John Whiting was born about 1570 and died on October 22, 1617. John married Isabel. Isabel was born in 1570. She died on 4 May 1608 in Boston, Lincolnshire, England.
John was the Mayor of Boston, England in 1600 & 1608.
There is some disagreement as to whether this John Whiting was the father of Maj. William Whiting.
Here is an email from one researcher:
Are you aware of two confusions in your Whiting genealogy? One is: John and Isobel Whiting, Mayor of Boston: Boston is not in "Linshire"...it's Lincolnshire, often called Lincs. I'm sure you know this, but it can be confusing to a newbie reading your wonderful site, for which you are to be commended. You've done a lot of good work on it.
Also, John Whiting, Mayor of Boston, Lincolnshire, is not the same man as John Whiting, father of Maj. William Whiting of Boxford, Suffolk. These are two different families in two different counties with some mileage between them. No connection has been found between two that I'm aware of. A lot of confusion has been disseminated between the two Johns, no doubt due to the location names of Boston and Boxford. John and William were such common names of the time as well, making it even more confusing. Just wanted to touch base with you on that. I do enjoy your site. Joy Wiggin-Robbins, March 2005.

Full text of "Ancient Redding in Massachusetts bay colony; its planting as a Puritan village and sketches of its early settlers from 1639 to 1652"
Colony J his wife, Lady Susan, was a daughter of the
Earl of Lincoln whose house was the social center of
the Puritan party. John Humfrey lived in Swampscott j
in 1635 the Court granted him a square mile of land
surrounding Humfrey's Pond (Suntaug Lake) in Lynn-
field j John Poole came to Massachusetts with Lieut.-
Gov. Dudley, who had been the steward of the EarPs
estate j the largest grant of Lynn land made in 1638 was
the 800 acres south of the Ipswich River and east of the
present Haverhill Street in North Reading given to Lord
Brooks. He was a leader in the Parliamentary Army who
lost his life in the Siege of St. Chad in 1643, before he
could carry out plans to seek a refuge in New England j
Thomas Marshall returned to England and fought un-
der Cromwell 5 Mr. Richard Sadler, the first Town
Clerk of Lynn who was granted 200 acres south of the
Ipswich River in 1638, returned to England, preached
at Ludlow until he was silenced at the time of the Res-
toration j Rev. Samuel Whiting, the beloved minister in
Lynn for forty-three years, was banished from England
and came to Lynn in 1636. His father had been Lord
Mayor of London j Elizabeth Metcalf, wife of Thomas
Bancroft the emigrant of Lynnfield, was a daughter of
Michael of Dedham, who fled from England with his
family because his life was threatened by Bishop Wren.
The pioneers of Lynn Village had sufficient reason
for their great interest in the Civil War and may have
chosen Redding as a name for their town as a means of
showing their sympathy and appreciation of the great
struggle for human rights that was being waged in the
Redding of their ancestors.
