- The diary of Rev. Daniel Wadsworth mentions April 8, 1739: "Lord's day I preached per totum from psal. 50. I. and baptized Mary ye daughter of Ichabod Wadsworth..."
William was "of West Hartford" according to Hinman. He served in the Revolutionary War in the summer of 1775 at Ticonderoga, and died that fall at age 39 from an illness contracted while in the service. Mary remained in Hartford during the war.
In 1782 "widow Mary Whiting of Farmington" married Abner Curtis. The couple lived in Farmington, CT, and sold some land, along with son William Whiting, to Jeremiah Wadsworth, Elisha Whiting is witness.
