==============================
3. 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.
