• Notes

  His brothers Almond, Sylvester, Chauncey, and Lewis and his sister Louisa, did not feel that Brigham Young should be the leader of the church so they followed a Mr. Alpheus Cutler and called themselves “Cutlerites” and moved up into Clitheral, Minnesota. To this day, they hold tenaciously to the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. They still correspond with the children of Edwin Whiting, and have given us, for temple work, an extensive genealogy of the Whiting family. ================================================================= 1850; Census Place: District 21, Pottawattamie, Iowa; Roll M432_188; Page: 150; Image: 304. 1384/1384 Sylvester Whiting 29 Male Laborer Ohio Louis 22 Male Laborer Ohio Abner 20 Male Laborer Ohio Mary 17 Fem Ohio Martha 16 Fem Ohio Cordelia 14 Fem Illinois Elisha 12 male Illinois 1385/1385 Chauncey Whiting 29 Male Wagon Maker Ohio Ann 30 fem Ohio Isaac 08 male Illinois Cornelia 06 fem Illinois Warren 03 male Omaha land or Nebraska Alonzo 01 male Iowa Duvette 01 male Iowaat sc 1386/1386 Joseph Hough 33 male none Upper Canada Mary 30 fem Upper Canada James 13 male Upper Canada John 08 male Illinois David 05 male Illinois Joseph 03 male Iowa Lydia 01 fem Iowa Elizabeth Brunnele 25 fem Upper Canada http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=8054&iid=4181055_00308&fn=Martha&ln=Whiting&st=r&ssrc=&pid=2629193 ============ 1860; Census Place: Fisher, Fremont, Iowa; Roll: M653_321; Page: 130; Image: 171. 1006/909 Chauncey Whiting 42 male blacksmith 540/505 Ohio Editha A. 42 fem Ohio Isaac M. 16 male farmer Illinois Camillia 14 fem Illinois Warren 12 male Nebraska Alonzo 09 male Iowa Lurett 09 male Iowa Chauncey 08 male Iowa Editha A. 03 fem Iowa Loisa 02 fem Iowa 1007/910 Almon Whiting 40 male Chair Maker 740/600 Ohio Lucia 40 fem Ohio 1010/913 Sylvester Whitng 33 male Carpenter 600/215 Ohio Rebecca A. 24 fem Ohio Almon A. 04 male Iowa Edwin E. 01 male Iowa 1013/915 Edmund Whiting 28 male Carpenter 300 Ohio Augusta 20 fem Ohio Florence 9/12 Iowa 1014/916 Francis L. 29 male wagon maker Ohio Ann J. 29 fem New York Emma L. 07 fem Iowa Lucia L. 05 fem Iowa Ella J. 02 fem Iowa Arthur 4/12 male Iowa http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=7667&path=Iowa.Fremont.Fisher.6&sid=&gskw=Chauncey+Whiting ================ 1870; Census Place: Clitherall, Otter Tail, Minnesota; Roll: T132_9; Page: 753; Image: 31; Family History Library Film: 830429. 4 Whiting Sylvester 41 male white Dry Goods and Groceries $1000 Ohio Rebecca 34 fem white keeping house New York Almon 14 male white at home Iowa attended school Edwin 11 male white at home Iowa attended school George W 08 male white at home Iowa attended school William 04 male white at home Minnesota John 02 male white at home Minnesota http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7163&iid=4264747_00031&fn=Sylvesta&ln=Whiting&st=r&ssrc=&pid=42098369 =============== 1880; Census Place: Clitherall, Otter Tail, Minnesota; Roll: 628; Family History Film: 1254628; Page: 131A; Enumeration District: 162; Image: 0672.
