The greater part of the Hulet family, together with their grandson and nephew, William E. Whiting, his wife and young son arrived in Jackson County, Missouri in 1832. Lyman Wight and Christian Whitmer lived six miles west of Independence. The Hulets became their neighbors. That would indicate that the Hulets lived about six miles west of the Big Blue River.

Monday November 4th, a mob of about one hundred armed men took possession of the Latter-day Saint ferryboat on the Big Blue. They soon abandonded the ferry and went ton west to Wilson's store. Nineteen young Mormons from west of there heard that their help was needed. Approaching the store, they saw that they were greatly outnumbered. They fled back west again with the mobbers in pursuit. The young men hid in the corn fields at the Whitmer Settlement sometimes called the Settlement on the Blue. It should be remembered that the Whitmers were witnesses to the Book of Mormon. The mob held Christian Whitmer prisoner, threatening him with death if he did not tell where the young men were.
With the mob molesting the families at the Whitmer Settlement, David Whitmer and Newel Knight rushed to the Coleville Branch (about three miles west) and called for help. Among those standing guard at the mill were Philo Dibble and Henry A. Cleveland. They and some others went immediately to the relief at the Whitmer Settlement. By that time the mob was tearing down the house of Christian Whitmer. It was about sunset. David Whitmer divided the Mormon men into two groups. Known to be in the Mormon company of about 30 men were: the Whitmers, David and Jacob, also Charles Hulet, Sylvester Hulet, Nathan West and their nephew William Whiting, Hyrum Page, King Follet, John Forman, John Poorman, Sheffield Daniels, Andrew Barber, Philo Dibble, Henry A. Cleveland, also Father Brace, a Revolutionary soldier. (Those were later listed by Philo Dibble -- 5 April 1861.)....
Seeing the approach of the Mormons, Brazeale shouted, "The Mormons are for fight: give them hell!" Two or three guns were then fired by the mobbers. The Mormons answered with a general discharge. Brazeale and Thomas Linvill of the mob were Killed. The mob fired again and Henry Cleveland was wounded in the shoulder. Philo Dibble was hit in the abdomen with an ounce ball and two buckshot. Jacob Whitmer was wounded in the wrist and William Whiting in the foot.

The details of how William Whiting escaped out of the area, being wounded, with a wife and three small children, were ot kept in family records. Neither was the story told of the sufferings ofhis aged grandmother, Mary Lewis Hulet, when she fled from Jackson County.

William Whiting died in Clay County, Missouri 21 October 1834 and left Lydia with three small children.
William Whiting, Edwin’s oldest brother, (*5) has been reported being killed during the “Battle of the Blue”, but Lydia, his wifes account helps explain his death a year after the battle. “The mob came with a large company hunting for and shooting at our men: they feeling it their duty to stand in the defense of their wives and [----] children, as well as themselves, returned the fire. My husband [----} received a ball through his foot, which mangled the bones and caused him great distress and it was a great while a healing and I fear his hardships and privations was the cause of his death which happened the next October…My husband was ever afflicted with the same until his death.
