Subject: [Patriots-War] Nathan Whiting
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 17:26:23 EST
While researching my Timmons ancestors at the Liverpool, Onondaga County, New
York, public library, I found a book "The Liverpool Legend", by Thetis (Mrs.
Edward F). Group, the Village Historian at the time of publication in 1962.
One chapter contained information about the Patriot's War. It stated from
recollections of the late A. H. Crawford "During the Patriot War of 1838-1839
Liverpool contributed both men and means in aid of the Patriot cause." They
belonged to an organization called The Hunters, named for the famous Canadian
rebel who had conceived the idea for the liberation of Canada from the
British. A Hunters Lodge was organized and was turning out bullets for
arming the force to cross the St Lawrence River.
On Sunday, November 10, the steamer United States set out from Oswego with a
large number of men, and then stopped at Sackets Harbor where more men, many
of them from Watertown boarded. General J. Ward Birge of Cazenovia (in
Madison Co.) met them at Ogdensburg, promising 20-40,000 American recruits;
however, less than 200 were landed near Prescott. General Birge promised to
return to Ogdensburg and bring back thousands more volunteers but did not
return. In the fight that followed the Canadian militia fought against
them--not a single Canadian joined the Americans. "The American saviors of
Canada had found Canada unwilling to be saved." The small band of Americans
was captured at confined at Fort Henry near Kingston.
The book states that the following men from Liverpool were killed: William
McKellop, James Pease, James Miller, Leman Leach and Nathan Coffin. Banished
to Tasmania were Nathan Whiting, David Allen and "High" Loop.
Also written is that one historical record states that Chauncey Sheldon made
a Masonic signal of distress as he was on his knees waiting for the signal to
fire. This saved his life and that of Nathan Whiting. "Nathan Whiting's
wife, Rhoda, by law, was free to marry again. She married Richard Goodwin who
later died and when Whiting returned years later from banishment to
Liverpool, he and Rhoda were reunited."
Descendants of Nathan Whiting
Generation No. 1
1. NATHAN1 WHITING was born 1795 in Vermont, and died 1856 in Liverpool, New
York. He married RHODA TOLES. She was born 1805, and died 1850. They are
buried in Liverpool Cemetery.
Children of NATHAN WHITING and RHODA TOLES are:
2. i. LUCY JANE2 WHITING, b. March 12, 1832, Liverpool,
Onondaga County, New York; d. November 30, 1885, Corydon,Wayne, Iowa.
ii. MARY WHITING, b. 1838.
Generation No. 2
2. LUCY JANE2 WHITING (NATHAN1) was born March 12, 1832 in Liverpool,
OnondagaCounty, New York, and died November 30, 1885 in Corydon, Wayne, Iowa.
She married NICHOLAS TIMMONS August 04,1850 in New York, son of OWEN TIMMONS
and CATHERINE ROGERS. He was born June 16, 1830 in County Meath, Ireland,
and died January 12, 1902 in Corydon, Wayne, Iowa.
1855 NY State Census
Nicholas Timons, 25 m born in Ireland, years resided 16.
Wife Jane, 22, born Onondaga, years resided 17.
Son Edwin Timons, 3, born Onondaga
Also in same house Julia Goodwin, 14, F, Boarder,born Onondaga, years resided
14.
Nathan Whiting, 60, M,Boarder, born Vermont, widowed
Mary Whiting, 17, F,Boarder, born Onondaga, years resided 17.
James Timons, 16, M, Boarder, born Cayuga, years resided 16.
Note that Roda Toles apparently had a daughter, Julia, by Mr. Goodwin while
Nathan Whiting was in Tasmania. By the time of the 1855 Census Rhoda had
died and Julia was living with Nathan Whiting, her half-sister, Mary Whiting
and the Timons family.
I am not related to Nathan Whiting. I am a descendent of James Timmons. I
have a cousin who is a descendent of Nathan and Rhoda Whiting, and Nicholas
and Jane Timmons. She is not on the net and has asked me to find out more
information about her side of the Timmons family.
There is quite a bit more information in the book but I was unable to find
out if the book was copywrited. An account about Niles Szoltevki Von
Schoultz, a Polish chemist who came to Liverpool, and who was hanged for his
part in the conspiracy was most interesting.
