      Looking for info on James Wolf Whiting aka Dr. James Whiting, born in Newport,RI, Jan 27, 1760. Looking for spouse and children. James is son of Col. John Whiting, born Aug. 3, 1719, and Philena Cogswell, born 1726. They moved back to Montville, CT in late 1760's. Col. John died in 1770 in New London, CT. James Wolf's sister, Elizabeth Whiting Leffingwell was named as guardian; but her husband, Daniel, died shortly after.
      It is believed James went then to live with other relatives. The next information we have is that James Wolf Whiting was a doctor in Norwich in 1790's. He petitioned and was granted permission by Town Assembly to open a hospital for the first permitted small pox innoculations.
      James Wolf Whiting died in Jewett City on Sep. 14, 1823, and is intered in the Pachaug Cemetary on Rte. 138 in that town. He had a brother also named James who died young, the name was reused. Would appreciate any information. We think he may have gone to Canada during the Revolutionary War.
