Notes:

Nearly a century later, the university was at the centre of a Protestant schism. Many nobles, intellectuals and even commoners saw the ways of the Church of England as being too similar to the Catholic Church and that it was used by the crown to usurp the rightful powers of the counties. East Anglia was the centre of what became the Puritan movement and at Cambridge, it was particularly strong at Emmanuel, St Catharine's Hall, Sidney Sussex and Christ's College.[25] They produced many "non-conformist" graduates who greatly influenced, by social position or pulpit, the approximately 20,000 Puritans who left for New England and especially the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the Great Migration decade of the 1630s. Oliver Cromwell, Parliamentary commander during the English Civil War and head of the English Commonwealth (1649–1660), attended Sidney Sussex.

According to Wikipedia, The Rev. Hooker died during an "epidemical sickness" in 1647, at the age of 61. The location of his grave is unknown, although he is believed to be buried in Hartford's Ancient Burying Ground. Thomas died 7 July 1647. William Whiting died July 1647. Could it not be that they both died of the same "epidemical sickness"?

1647: EPIDEMICAL SICKNESS

In the early summer of 1647 “an epidemical sickness” swept through parts of New England. Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts reported that it seized the victims “like a cold and light fever with it”. On 7 July JAMES’ mentor, the Reverend Thomas Hooker, died at Hartford, Connecticut.

Historical.
The following extract is taken from the annual report of the Massachusetts State Board of Health: —
In the early history of Massachusetts it appears that influenza occasionally prevailed. In 1647, according to Governor Winthrop,: "a malignant fever prevailed, and an epidemic influenza passed through the whole country and universally affected the colonists and natives; but it was not very mortal. Wherein a special providence of God appeared; for, not a family nor but few persons escaping it, our hay and corn had to be lost for want of help; but such was the mercy of God to his people as few died — not above forty or fifty in Massachusetts, and near as many at Connecticut."

" In 1647 an epidemic sickness passed through the whole country, affecting the colonists and natives, English, French and Dutch. It began with a cold, and in many was accompanied with a light fever. Such as bled, or used cooling drinks, died. Such as made use of cordials, and more strengthening things, recovered for the most part. It extended through the plantations in America and in the West-Indies. There died in Barbadoes and St. Kitts, five or six thousand each. Whether it was a plague or pestilential fever, it prevailed in tlte islands, accompanied with a great drought, which cut short potatoes and fruits."
Governor Winthrop, of Massachusetts, in a letter to his friend, Mr. Richard Vines, who had just before removed from New-England to Barbadoes, gave him some account of this epidemic in Massachusetts. • Fortunately Mr. Vines' answer, dated Barbadoes, April 20, 1648, is preserved and printed in Governor Hutchinson's Collection of Papers. In this the writer gives the following account of the epidemic in that island: " The sickness was an absolute plague, very infectious and destroying, insomuch that in our parish there were buried twenty hi a week, and many weeks together fifteen or sixteen. It first seized on the ablest men, both for account and ability of body. Many who had begun and almost finished great sugar-works, who dandled themselves in their hopes, were suddenly laid in the dust, and their estates left unto strangers. Our New-England men here had their shares and so had all nations, especially Dutchmen, of whom died a great company, even the wisest of them. The contagion is well-nigh over; the Lord make us truly thankful for it, and ever mindful of his mercy."
Here we have a clear and sufficiently precise account of an influenza or epidemic disease w

===========================================
Will of William Whiting died 24 July 1647
William Whiting was at Hartford in 1636, a wealthy merchant who had been engaged in a patent for lands at Swamscot with Lord Say and Lord Brook. He had wife Susanna, son William and perhaps John before leaving England. Savage says that possibly he came with Thomas Wiggin in 1633, and probably he came from Cambridge MA, since other prominent persons removed thence that year. He was an early member of First Church, and his name is on the Founders Monument of Hartford. In 1637 Whiting was one of the first representatives; in 1641, Assistant; and he served as Treasurer of the Colony from 1643 to his death in 1647, when he was called Major.
In 1646/1647, Magistrate William Whiting sued Thomas Ford for slander; Thomas was fined more than L4 and costs of court.
William made several voyages, making his will 20 March 1643 in anticipation of one. A codicil drawn 2 April 1646 also mentioned a voyage, but it may have been only to the Delaware river, where he maintained a trading house, as also at Westfield. An addition to that will was declared 24 July 1647, and he died soon after, for his widow was granted adminisration on 2 September 1647.
The probate record shows: "Whiting, William, Hartford.

Inv. L2854-00-00 taken 20 April 1643. I, William Whiting, doe intend a voyage

presently unto sea. I give to my wife halfe my household stuffe of all kinds,

and after, if she continue a widow, I give her the halfe of my sd howse and land

for life. I give to my sonne William L100 more than I give to either my sonne

Webster, with Mr. Hooker & Mr. Stone, to be Overseers. Alls, I doe bequeath unto

my brother and his children.. William Whiting.

"2 April 1646. Intending another voyage, my will is, my son Joseph shall have an

equal portion with sonnes John & Samuel. I give William L50 more; to Mary, L10

more; to my sister Wiggin, L5; and to each of her children L3; I give to Margery

Parker L10, my former will to remain in force. William Whiting In presence of

Edward Hopkins.

"William Whiting, upon his death bed: It is my minde that the children which God

L5 to Mr. Smith's Children, of Wethersfield. William Whiting In presence of

Henry Smith, James Cole. 24th July 1647.

Paper on file compared with original.
"2 September 1647, Mrs. Whiting is admitted to Adms. according to the will.
"3 October 1654. Mr. Webster, Mr. Stone, Mr. Fitch, Mr. Will Whiting, John Whiting, presenting to this court a distributiyon of Mr. Whitings estate agreed upon by them (signed & sealed), bearing date 30 Sep 1654, this Court allowes to be recorded.
"29 October 1667. Whereas, Mr. Alexander Briant and Mrs. Susannah Fitch have, by an Instrument of Resignation bearing date 27 June 1662, resigned their Interest in and unto the estate of Mr. William Whiting, Decd, that hath bee in ye possession and Improvement of sd. Susannah, in the time of her Widowhood, unto the Children of ye sd. Mr. Whiting, and they desire the favor of the Court to have Deacon Edward Stebbing & Thomas Bull as Adms. on the remayning part of ye Estate."
Further probate records pertaining to this family are found under Nathaniel Collins: "Court Rec. p. 92 - 4 Sep 1684: Mr. John Whiting, Mr. Joseph Whiting, Mr. John King in Right of Mrs. Sarah his wife, and Mr. Nathaniel Collins in Right of Mrs. Mary his wife, are plaintiffs; Corporall Thomas Bissell, Defendant; in an Action of the Case of unlawfull detaining from them their proportion of Land now in your possession, sometime the Land of their Father Mr. William Whiting, Decd, given them by the will of their Father.

Thomas Bissell Defendent. For unlawful detention of Lands, their Proportion, sometime the land of their Father, Mr. William Whiting, Decd. Nonsuited."

In the Granberry Family, the MARGERY PARKER mentioned in the 1646 will above is

identified as the wife of William Parker; both were born in England. William

died at Saybrook CT 21 December 1686, and Margery died at Saybrook 6 December

1680. The authors comment on the L10 legacy: "This was a good-sized legacy to

receive from a man, even though wealthy, who had a wife and children; and though

no relationship is mentioned, it is likely that Margery was connected in some

way with the Whitings or that they brought her to this country as a member of

their household. The Parker children were all recorded at Saybrook, though the

older ones must have been born at Hartford. The eldest was born in 1637, so the

marriage of William and Margery probably occurred soon after they came to

Hartford."

The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire gives information about Capt. Thomas Wiggin, gentleman. Wiggins witnessed delivery of the Vines patent 25 June 1630, the Hilton patent 7 July 1631, and of Piscataqua 22 October 1631. He was in England 31 August 1632, and there on 19 November 1632 when he wrote to Sec. Cooke estimating the English in N.E. as about 2000. A week later a patent was granted by the Council of N.E. In March 1632/1633 he was called the chief agent (in England) of the honest men about to buy out the Bristol men's plantation at Piscataqua and plant 500 people before Michaelmas. Winthrop, on 10 November 1633, records his arrival at Salem in the James with about 30 men. He went directly to Piscataqua from where he wrote a letter in November 1633. As agent for Lords Say and Brooke and in his own interest, he was opposed to the Mason claims, and in time became a strong adherent of Massachusetts and a help in extending their power. His wife Katherine was willed L5, and each of her children L5 by her brother Mr. William Whiting.

Descendants of William Whiting


Generation No. 1


1. MAJOR WILLIAM2 WHITING (JOHN1)1,2,3 was born Abt. 1609 in Suffolk Cty, England, and died 24 Jul 1647 in Hartford, CT. He married SUSANNAH WIGGIN Abt. 1632 in England. She was born Abt. 1609 in England, and died 8 Jul 1673 in Middlesex, CT.

Notes for MAJOR WILLIAM WHITING:
We've elected to begin the Whiting journey with Major William Whiting, our immigrant ancestor. We believe William was born in Suffolk County, England sometime around 1609 and is believed to be the son of John and Isobel Whiting. As one of the founding fathers of Hartford Connecticut, it is unknown when William arrived in the colonies. According to Joseph Hunter in "Suffolk Emigrants" William's connection with the American colonies is recorded as early as 1632 when he and several other prominent men in England bought land here, a large land holding he would retain until his death. (Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England). It is entirely possible he came to the colonies with his sister Katherine/Catherine and her husband Thomas Wiggin, on the "James" that arrived in Salem, Massachusetts on 10 November 1633, but no records or other publications have been found to verify this.

William's early life in Hartford was pretty well documented and he held many enviable positions among the early settlers of Hartford. According to the noted genealogist, Joseph Hunter, he was "one of the most respectable of the settlers (of Hartford) in 1636, one of the civil and religious Fathers of Connecticut, a man of wealth and education, styled in the records, William Whiting, gentleman." (Suffolk Emigrants)

For more information on William and Susannah see "Our Whiting Heritage" book located on Randys' Web Page.

The following information is on William's sister Katherine/Catherine Whiting and excerpts were taken from The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633 pages 1982 - 1985.

Thomas Wiggin's connection with the Whiting family is through his wife Katherine/Catherine Whiting, our immigrant ancestor's sister. Their marriage certificate gives her name as Catherine, but Thomas Wiggin's will spells her name as Katherine. It is believed Thomas Wiggin first arrived in the Colonies in Piscataqua sometime in 1630. He returned to England in early 1632 and married our immigrant ancestor sister, Katherine/Catherine Whiting, in London on 11 Jul 1633. Records show that Katherine and Thomas arrived at Salem, Massachusetts on the "James" 10 November 1633 and settled in what would become New Hampshire.

Thomas Wiggin, besides being a man of wealth, also was a great friend of John Winthrop of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Sir John Cooke of England. In a letter he wrote to Sir John, dated 19 Nov 1631, he described the rich resources found in New England and gave tremendous credit to the colonist, both young and old, who accomplished more in three years than others have done in seven times with ten times less expense. He is often called the founder of New Hampshire and has been mentioned in various records and journals as William's agent. Some of the public positions Thomas held were, Governor of Piscataqua (Dover), Magistrate (1650, 1657, 1660, 1661 and again in 1663), and Commissioner at Piscataqua in 1641.

Children of WILLIAM WHITING and SUSANNAH WIGGIN are:
i. WILLIAM3 WHITING4, b. Abt. 1632, England; d. 1699, London, Eng.
Notes for WILLIAM WHITING:
William was probably born in England before William & Susannah immigrated. It is unclear when he went back to England, but he went back presumably as a business partner in his father’s trading business, and became an influential merchant in London. In 1686 he was appointed by the Assembly of Connecticut as their agent to present their petition to the King. "He exerted himself in behalf of the colony and received the thanks of the Assembly for his services, and was requested to continue them." (Goodwin pg. 330).

No concrete information has been discovered on whom William married. In a letter written by Thomas Fairchild, dated December 1662, to John Winthrop of Hartford (who was in London at the time) a Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting, of the city of London, was mentioned. Some genealogist, such as Nathaniel Goodwin, believes this Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting was the wife of William. We do know that William's son Joseph, was appointed administrator of his estate when William died in London in 1699. (Goodwin pg. 143).

The Honorable William Whiting, her father's remote progenitor, and Major General John Mason, to whom her mother's lineage is traced, are both named among " some of the principal characters who undertook," in the year 1036, "the great work of settling Connecticut, and were the civil and religious fathers of the colony."* These, we are told, were " the first class of settlers," and all, except the ministers, were chosen Magistrates, or Governors of the colony.

Thomas Hooker, called "The light of the Western Churches."* When Mr. Hooker, after his arrival (1633) in America, having for three years resided at Newtown, removed (1636) to Connecticut, with about a hundred of his company, Mr. Whiting was one of his cooperators, in founding the colony at Hartford. In a list of the original land-holders in that colony, in February, 1639, his namef is found; and, in various existing manuscript and printed documents and books that relate to the foundation of this settlement, frequent mention is made of him, as one of the " fathers of the colony."

William Whiting was one of the civil and religious fathers of Connecticut, a man of wealth and education, styled in the records as William Whiting, gentleman. In 1642 he was one of the magistrates, in 1641 treasurer of the colony, which he retained until his death. He used a somewhat similar coat of arms as Samuel Whiting of Lyn Massachusetts.

Attempt was made in 1967 at the Herald's College in London to establish these arms with Whitings on file there, but nothing was found.

!QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED TO BE OUR WILLIAM WHITING ON THE ENGLISH SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC: From information in Conn., it is known that William Whiting was a man of wealth, and distinction. He had a coat of arms registered among those of early emigrants, and to be so registered they had to prove they were entitled to it. Naoma Manwaring Harker has contacted the officials there,but they have no information at this late date as to what proof or records William offered at his registration. The picture shows it was similar to that of John Whiting, whom we know came from Lincolnshire, England. A researcher from the Genealogical Society went to England and was empowered to go th the Herald's College in London to see if arms of William could be established with the Whitings on file there, but no connection was made.
It is documented that William had a wife Susannah, whom he had married in England and that he came to America with two children, William and Samuel who were both born in England, the next son John being born 1635 in Hartford, Conn. This son later returned to and lived in London, and died in 1699 there. Copies of some of his letters to his father William (the letters are not addressed to his father William) are in the Conn. State Library (The Edwin Whiting Org has copies of them), but they give no indication as to the exact "Parish" or locality in London, nor to any relatives of the family there. (?Coleman Street Ward)
It is also documented that William had a sister (called Sister Wiggins in his will) Catherine, who married 11 July 1633 in London. This marriage has been found and parish registers searched. While Whitings abound, no connection has been made.
Thomas Wiggins and William Whiting, his brother-in-law were proprietors of the Squamscot Patent (See Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire, page 233).
Thomas Wiggin had been in America but returned to England in 1633 where he married Catherine Whiting.

POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN DOING RESEARCH IN ENGLAND ON WILLIAM WHITING:
1. He would be born around 1600-1605. (Could vary)
2. You must establish that he had a sister Catherine with her birth date and place.
3. You must consider that the sister Catherine was married in London in 1633 she would not, as a very young girl be living there alone. So either her parents or some relatives were in the vicinity with her.
4. You should find the marriage of William to Susannah, date and place before accepting any christening of a William.
5. You must find the christenings for William and Susannah's two sons, William, no doubt the oldest, and Samuel, both said to be born in England.
6. Naoma Harker has seen a statement that William, son of William and Susannah was born in London. He came to America with his parents but returned to London where he became a merchant (my source for this is not at hand).
7. The usual references on the former home of William, Sr., (as used for all early New England emigrants) give nothing of his birth place. I have seen the following reference: "William Whiting, known as Major, came from Boxford Sussex to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1633, one of the original settlers of Hartford in 1636, died 1647. (No reference as to the origin of this information was given).

The English Gazetteer shows no parish Boxford in Sussex. There is one in Suffolk and one in Berkshire. Suffolk would be most likely.

8. When William made his will in 1643, he mentioned his parents "if they were living". He had apparently been out of touch with them for a long time. This might suggest he had left home and gone to London in his early youth, but they might also have been in London.
____________________________________________________________________________
***Great care should be excercised in accepting a connection in this line. The name Whiting is common, and William's may be found with birth dates near the proper one, but the above mentioned factors must be considered, especially that of a sister Catherine, and his own marriage to a Susannah.

James Savage states in "A Genealogical Dictionary of New England"
"William Whiting's sister was (probably) Thomas Wiggins Wife. (Catherine)"

Major William was an original proprietor of Hartford; his home lot in 1639 was on the east side of the street, now Governor Street.
In 1633 "the Bristol men had sold their interest in Piscatuqua to the Lords Say and Brook, George Wyllys, and William Whiting, who continued Thomas Wiggins their Agent." Mr Whiting retained his interest in Piscataqua until his death, and was one of the most efficient promoters of the trade and of the commerce of Hartford. He was also engaged in a patent for land for Swampscott with Lords Say and Brook.
He was one of the committee, who for the first time sat with the Court of Magistrates in 1637; freeman Feb 1640; Treasurer of the Colony 1641- 1647; Chosen Magistrate 1642- 1647.

In 1638, he was allowed to trade ------) with the Indians; and he was appointed with Major ( ------) Mason and others to erect fortifications in 1642, and the same year he was appointed with Mason to collect tribute of the Indians on Long Island and on the Main.
He was a merchant of wealth and had dealings with Virginia and Piscataqua; had a trading house at the Delaware River and also at Westfield.
He probably died soon after an addition to his last will was made, July 24, 1647.

!Steven Whiting Hatch swhatch@flash.net (4-2000):
In Suffolk Emigrants, Joseph Hunter writes that the Whiting family came from Suffolk County, England in the vicinity of Basford. Mormon ancestral records list William Whiting, son of John, as being born around 1600. William Whiting's connection with the American colonies is recorded as early as 1632 when he and others in England bought land there. He immigrated by 1636 and was one of the first settlers of Hartford, Connecticut. Frequently mentioned in Goodwin's Genealogical Notes,2 he is called one of the "civil and religious Fathers of Connecticut" and is styled in the records as "William Whiting, Gentleman." William Whiting served as Treasurer of the Colony from 1641 to 1647, and was chosen as Magistrate in 16422.
Several sources report that William Whiting bore the title of Major when he died in July of 1647. In his will, he mentions his wife Susannah, sons William, John, Samuel, and Joseph and daughters Sarah and Mary. Refer to Attachment 1. William Whiting died as a man of means; his estate inventory was taken on 20 April, 1647 and was worth ££2854.00, a great sum at that time. He showed his generosity by leaving twenty pounds to the church, five pounds towards the mending of the highways between his home and the Meeting House, and five more to "some godly poore in the Town."

From the Winthrop family papers

In this detailed account written only a few days after the events described in it, William Whiting of the Connecticut colonial forces informs Governor John (commonly known as "Fitz-John") Winthrop of Connecticut of the devastating attack by French and Indian forces on the Massachusetts frontier settlement of Deerfield on the night of 29 February 1703/4.

In the hours before dawn, traveling across a winter landscape covered by deep snow, a large and diverse force of French and Canadian soldiers, together with Native American allies drawn from many tribes, fell upon sleeping Deerfield. The attackers managed to enter the stockade that protected the settlement (here referred to as "the garrison") by the aid of snow drifted up against the wall and a wild and confused house-to-house battle followed. As Whiting informs Winthrop, reinforcements from Massachusetts settlements further south were ambushed when they came to the aid of the beleaguered town, and without snowshoes they were unable to pursue the retreating attackers through three feet of snow.

Although often referred to by later generations as the "Deerfield Massacre," this term is not used in Whiting's account and apparently was not used to describe the raid until the 19th century. Of most concern to contemporaries who described the assault as "the destruction of Deerfield" or here as "the mischeif at Deerefield" was the very large number of captives taken--more than 100 men, women and children--of whom only about half ever returned to New England.

In a postscript, Major Whiting notes: "Mr. Williams his wife and Sev[e]n children Carryd away." Here he refers to the Reverend John Williams, who after his return from captivity would write the most famous account of the attack, The Redeemed Captive Returned to Zion, published in 1707.

Notes:
1. William migrated from England to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1633 with Thomas Wiggins. Wiggins had been in America before. Another source says that William first came to Cambridge in 1631 and later was an original settler of Hartford (New England Register vol. 103 pg 35).
2. An original settler at Hartford in 1636. He came to Hartford with Thomas Hooker, a reverend with the Puritans. Both William Whiting and Thomas Hooker were nonconformists. William was a wealthy merchant dealing with grain from America to England. He had a trading house on the Delaware River and at Westfield and had dealings with Virginia. He owned land in Connecticut and New Hampshire.
3. Dep. from Hartford to Connecticut General Court, 1637; a member of the General Court in 1637.
4. In 1638 he was allowed to trade with the Indians and in 1642 appointed to collect tribute of the Indians on Long Island and on the mainlands.
5. In 1640 William was admitted as a freeman. In 1644 he was listed as a merchant. In 1645 he became the constable in Hartford.
6. William served as the second colonial treasurer of Connecticut 1641-1647.
7. William was a Major in the colonial forces.
8. William served as commissioner of the United Colonies for Connecticut 1646-7.
9. William was a leading man in the Connecticut colony and was of a gentleman's status. He was a man of wealth and prominence. His estate at his decease was worth 9000 pounds sterling. He made several trips to England.
10. William made his will on 20 March 1643. Codicils were added on 2 April 1646 and on 24 July 1647. (William amended his wills before his voyages at sea to England.) The codicils indicate he had other children since the making of his original will. The will was recorded on 24 April 1649. William named his children as William, John, Samuel, Sarah, Mary, and Joseph. Joseph was likely born after the initial will was made as he was not mentioned in it; he was provided for in a codicil. William had a "sister Wiggins" who had children. He also gave money to Margery Parker, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Webster, to the children of Mr. Hooker, to the children of Mr. Stone, to the poor of Hartford, to the town of Hartford, to the poor of Windsor, to the poor of Wethersfield. Mrs. Whiting had the will probated on 2 September 1647. William left money to his father and mother (in his 1643 will) if they were still living, and if not, the money was to go to his brother. The parents and brother were not named. On 29 October 1647 Mrs. Susanna (Whiting) Fitch by an instrument of resignation dated 27 June 1662 resigned her interest in the estate of Mr. William Whiting, deceased. On 5 October 1654, Mr. Webster, Mr. Stone, Mr. Fitch, Mr. William Whiting, Mr. John Whiting, presented to the court a distribution of Mr. Whiting's estate agreed upon by them.
11. William was a man of weath and education, one of the most respectable settlers in 1636 and one of the civil and religious fathers of Connecticut.
12. He was closely associated with George Wyllys and Thomas Wiggin.
13. Searches made by James Cunningham in England in 1949 - Deptford St. Nicholas, Kent 1592 to 1600 - produced no trace of William Whiting. He did find the marriage of John Whiting and Margaret Bonner on 22 December 1586 in Boston, Lincolnshire. According to the will of this John Whiting, he did not have a son William. The researcher stated that it is possible that the Whiting family was in Boston, Lincoln before the registers began.
14. A researcher located in the Bishop of Lincoln probate court a will dated 21 October 1617 (1617, i, folio 239) for John Whiting the elder of Boston, woollendraper. John named a daughter Margarett, wife of Richard Carter; wife Isabell who receives his house in Boston; son James; son Samuel who was at Cambridge; son John; daughter Awdree, wife of Robert Wright. John is the eldest son. His son James is not yet 23. John marked, not signed, the will. Proved on 31 Oct 1617. Witnessed by William Whiting. No son William or daughter Catherine.
15. A William Whiting of Boston also left a will dated 1618. He christened a son William at Boston in 1602. The child christened in 1602 cannot be the emigrant because he would have known that his father was dead when he wrote his own will in 1643. However, he could be related. William's 1618 will stated that he was a woollen draper of Boston, had a wife Margaret, youngest son Isaac (minor), son Robert, son William, brother Francis Whiting, and cousins John Whiting and Richard Carter. The researcher assumed that the John Whiting who died in 1617 (the father of the emigrant Samuel Whiting) and the William Whiting who died in 1618/9 were brothers. However, William's 1618 will says that John is his cousin. "There was another brother Francis who may have had children and no doubt there were many other Whitings nearly related. The name occurs frequently in Lincolnshire probate courts." (Letter dated 18 June 1958)
16. William Whiting was using a similar coat of arms as John Whiting from Boston, Lincolnshire and John's son, the Reverend Samuel Whiting who migrated to New England and lived at Lynn, Massachusetts. Therefore, there is likely a connection between the ancestral William and these Whiting men of Boston, Lincolnshire. Several letters written by Willliam Jr., his son, are sealed with a coat of arms which are a variation of those used by the family of Whitings of Boston, Lincoln. The coat of arms is described in "Roll of Arms" registered by Committee of Heraldry, New England Historical and Genealogical Society. Major William Whiting, original proprietor of Hartford, liv. 1687 - azure a leopard face gold between two flaunches ermine in chief 3 bezants; crest a demi-eagle displayed with two heads proper (New England Register vol. 106 pg. 258). The family's coat or arms were quartered at a Chantry of St. Lawrence at Leake, which is not far from Boston, Lincolnshire. Gordon C. Whiting's book includes a graphic of the coat of arms for Thomas Whiting (1400s) and his descendants in Leicestershire and Essex (page 35). It is very similar to the coat of arms claimed by William Whiting (page 55). See Heraldic Journal, volume 1, pages 61, 160.
17. William was possibly living near his sister Catherine in London at the time she married in 1633 and returned to America with her and her husband in 1633.
18. Researcher in England found the Whiting surname popular in St. Magnus the Martyr parish in London. But no Catherine Whiting was listed.
19. A marriage found for a William and Susan Whiting. "William Whiting of St. Mary Magdalene Canterbury, woolendraper, bachelor, 23, son of William Whiting, Alderman of Canterbury, who consents, and Susan Sabin, virgin, 17, dau of Alvert Sabin, Alderman of Canterbury, who also consents. To marry at St. Mary Bredman's Canterbury." William was christened on 2 April 1615 at St. Mary Magdalene, son of William. He had a sister Katherine christened on 19 Sep 1619. But the William and Susan Whiting who married in Canterbury also christened children in Canterbury down to 1653 and cannot, therefore, be the ancestors who were in America by 1633. (Letter dated 18 June 1958)
20. The 1648 will of James Whiting of Boston, woollen draper was examined. He named his wife Mary, son John (minor), son Samuel (minor), brother Samuel Whiting now in New England, sister Wright, brother John Whiting. So he was the son of the John Whiting who wrote the 1617 will.
21. A researcher stated he checked subsidy and assessment lists for London and found a William Whiting living on Thames Street in St. Michael Queenhithe parish in 1638 [but the ancestral William was in New England then]. The researcher thought this could be the ancestor. Another person of interest was Samuel Whiteing of St. Magnus parish which adjoined and was later absorbed with St. Margaret New Fish Street. The registers of St. Michael Queenhithe do not start until October 1653. (Letter dated 27 June 1958) Samuel Whiting of St. Magnus parish was a freeman of the Fishmongers' Company and was a member of the City of London Livery Companies in 1641. A William Whiting was a freeman of the Blacksmiths' Company. A Joseph, son of Samuel Whiting, attained freeman status in the Fishmonger's Company in 1651. This Samuel Whiting could be the same man who christened 11 childeren in St. Magnus the Martye parish. The researcher searched the records of the Fishmongers' Company. He thought that the William Whiting admitted to the Freedom in 1621 was likely the emigrant and that William was a brother of Samuel (whose family was in St. Magnus parish). The lead led to a search in Stroud, Gloucester. The "Register of Apprenticeship Bindings & Admissions to the Freedom, 1614-1668" for the Fishmongers' Company of London included: 18 June 1621 William Whitinge, late apprentice to John Whitinge, claiming his freedom by service, is admitted and sworne; 15 November 1619 Samuel Whitynge, late apprentice to John Cole, claiming his freedom by service, is admitted and sworne; 29 November 1624 Thomas Whiteinge, son of Thomas Whiting of the Stroude Water in Gloucester, yeoman, put himself apprentice to Thomas Roberts fishmonger for nine years from michaelmas last 1624. The researcher searched Stroud parish (which is incomplete before 1640) and Painswick in Gloucester. He found a William christened in 1622; no Catherine. He studied wills for Whiting testators of the Stroud and Painswick area. Nothing.
22. A John Dumbleton may have been a servant of William Whiting for two years before coming to New England and then for another 4 or 5 years in New England (History of Windsor, CT pg. 49, 155).
23. Longden's "Northamptonshire and Rutland Clergy" include information about Samuel, son of the John Whiting of Boston, Lincolnshire, who left the 1617 will. The bio for Samuel stated he was the son of John Whiting, merchant of Boston, Lincoln and was christened there on 21 November 1597. Graduated from Emmanuel College at Cambridge. Ordained a priest in 1621 at Peterborough. Served as a minister at Lynn, Norfolk and rector of Skirbeck, Lincoln, in 1625. Went to Boston, New England in April 1636 and then to Lynn, Massachusetts where he was a minister from 1638 to 1679. He died there on 11 December 1679. His eldest son John Whiting was a rector at Leverton, Nottingham.
24.Steven Whiting Hatch stated that "Suffolk Emigrants" declares that the Whiting family came from Suffolk County, England in the vicinity of Basford. (There isn't a parish named Basford in Suffolk, but there is a parish named Boxford. A christening for a William, son of William and Elizabeth Whiting, was found in Aldringham parish dated 9 September 1600.). Holmes' "Dictionary of Ancestral Heads of New England Families" states he came from Boxford, Sussex. (There isn't a parish named Boxford in Sussex but there is a parish named Boxgrove.)
25. Two old undated, unsigned pieces of paper located by Evelyn W. Baird in 1998 while at the Connecticut Historical Society stated that William's wife Susanna was Susanna Wiggins. The researcher did not know the origin of this information.
26. "Whitings in England Before 1650" by Gordon C. Whiting (1978) poses that the most likely place of origin (due to William's nonconformity) is East Anglia (which can include Lincolnshire).
27. Gordon C. Whiting states that Miss M. Packman located the administration of William Whiting's estate in England (1648) and that he left "any and all English property" to his wife. Miss Packman also believes that William could be closely connected to the Whitings of Boxford and Hadleigh in Suffolk or to the Whitings of Boston (and Deptford, Kent) in Lincolnshire. Gordon Whiting states that the Whitings of Boston, Lincolnshire loaned money to the colony of Massachusetts. In Gordon's book are listings of Whitings by county that Miss Packman collected. Many are from Lincolnshire and London--two prime areas for William Whiting.
28. A family tree found on FamilyTreeMaker concerning the Descendants of John Whiting states that William Whiting was born in Boxford "Sussex" and died in 1647 in Hartford, Connecticut. His wife Susannah Wiggin was born in 1609 in Milford, Connecticut and married William in 1635 in Hartford. Also claims that William's son William was born in 1631 in Milford, Connecticut and his daughter Sarah was born in 1632 in the same place. This pedigree seems to contain multiple errors and speculation.
29. The coat of arms used by William Whiting Jr. matches perfectly with the description of the coat of arms used by the Giles Whiting family of Etton, Northamptonshire. Giles was the rector of Etton and died there in 1627. According to the burial entry for Giles' wife Margerie, the couple had 41 grandchildren by that year. Only 11 of these children were listed in the 1619 heraldic visitation for Leicester. Giles' sons John and Timothy and one of Timothy's sons were also clergymen with the Church of England. One of Giles' grandsons, Nathaniel Whiting, emigrated to Massachusetts about the same time as did William Whiting. Giles Whiting left a will in 1627 (Church of England. Consistory Court of the Diocese of Peterborough Probate records, 1541-1858 (Salt Lake City, Utah : Filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, 1958) (FHL British film 174844)). The will did not mention William, but it also did not name all of Giles' grandchildren. Giles Whiting's pedigree was also found in the 1634 visitation of Essex. Giles and his two sons who became clergymen are found in Henry Isham Longden's Northamptonshire and Rutland clergy from 1500 (Northampton, England : Archer & Goodman, 1938-1943) (FHL British book 942.5 D3L v. 15).

Margery, m. bef. 1637 William Parker; lived Hartford and Saybrook
Posted by: Duane Boggs (ID *****6286)Date: February 20, 2011 at 11:50:26
of 1716

On or about April 2, 1646, William Whiting of Hartford, in what would later become Connecticut, wrote a Will. He made a bequest of 10 pounds to a Margery Parker. I believe this was likely the same woman as the Margery who had married William Parker before 1637, resided for a time in Hartford, but then had moved to Saybrook before 1646. Many, if not most, Parker researchers suggest that Margery's maiden name was Pritchard (a/k/a Prichard).

I have recently found an abstract of the William Whiting Will at the following source:

http://books.google.com/books?id=2rOoX4UHRxAC&pg=PA97&lpg=PA97&dq=saybrook+%22Margery+Parker%22&source=bl&ots=xqJwJPXncC&sig=I4DjLOULlQ9JqSk9aAKpqHqNFdA&hl=en&ei=XlRhTamDHYqr8Abj1ZCxDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CCoQ6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=saybrook%20%22Margery%20Parker%22&f=false

"A Catalogue of the Names of the First Puritan Settlers of the Colony of ...", by Royal Ralph Hinman, at p. 97:

“Whiting, William, Hartford - was a member of the General Court in 1637. The Court ordered him to supply 100 pounds of beef (for Hartford) to carry on the Pequot war, in 1637. He was treasurer of the colony in 1641 to 1647. . . . . . His estate at his decease was over £9000 sterling. In 1649 [DAB: sic-is this a typo for 1647?

Joseph appears to have been born after the will was made, and he provided for him by a codicil to his will. He had a sister Wiggins who had children. He gave £10 to Margery Parker, £10 to Mr. Hopkins; £10 to Mr. Webster; £10 to the children of Mr. Hooker; £10 to the children of Mr. Stone; £10 to the poor of Hartford; £5 to the town of Hartford; £5 to the poor of Windsor; £5 to the poor of Wethersfield, and £5 to the children of the Rev. H. Smith, of Wethersfield. His son William was a merchant in London, and sold the lands he received by his father to Siborn Nichols, of Witham, in England.” Cyprian Silborn NICHOLS b: ABT 1620 in Witham, Essex, England

I have also found an as-yet unverified statement that William Whiting's widow, Susannah, died July 08, 1673 in Hartford.

The Saybrook Vital Records have a record of the births of William Parker's children, and state "Margery, wife of William [Parker] Sr, died Dec 6, 1680". See
Saybrook Vital Records from Barbour, 1668-1852 - P, transcribed by Coralynn Brown.

Many, if not most, Parker researchers suggest that Margery's maiden name was Pritchard (a/k/a Prichard). I am presently formulating a theory that Margery (Pritchard) Parker might have been the sister of Susannah (MNU) Whiting, wife of William.

Please note that the abstract of the Will also states that William Whiting had a "sister Wiggins" who had children. I believe that some researchers have mis-interpreted this reference and have reached a faulty deduction that Susannah (MNU) Whiting was born a Wiggins. I find this to be a less reasonable interpretation than the following alternative.

In 1647, a man could use the term "sister" to refer to a full sister (shared

parents), a half-sister (only one shared parent), a step-sister (no shared

parents), a sister-in-law (e.g., married to one's brother), a sister-in-law (the

sister of one's wife), or a sister-in-law (the wife of one's wife's brother). So

which would be most likely to be remembered by a man in his Will? I think the

most likely response is that he was referring to his own married sister and her

children (who would have been William Whiting's nieces and/or nephews). There is

a possibility (but not a probability) that William Whiting had married the

sister of his brother-in-law Wiggins (i.e., WW's sister married a Wiggins and WW

married the sister of that Wiggins). While there are certainly some instances of

such marriages, they were certainly not the most common, or the norm.

Because the abstract does not state that Margery Parker was a "sister", it is likely that the Will itself did not contain any such explicit language. Nonetheless, I believe that it is more likely than not that Margery was somehow related to William Whiting, and possibly through his wife.

Consider the other bequests in the Will. The "Mr. Hopkins" is almost certainly a reference to Edward Hopkins, a founder of Hartford and sometime governor (and who reportedly had married an Ann Yale). The "Mr. Webster" is almost certain referring to John Webster, another Hartford founder and a magistrate. Thus we see gifts to two men who were among the civic leaders, and with whom WW would have had frequent contact (and likely friendship). The bequests to the children of Hooker (i.e., Rev. Thomas), of Stone (i.e., Rev. Samuel) and of the Rev. H. Smith (of Wethersfield) all fall into the category of the clergy and/or ministers of the Puritan flocks. The gifts to the poor are obviously charitable gifts.

So why would William Whiting leave a gift to a woman, Margery Parker, and not to her husband, William Parker (formerly of Hartford, but by 1647 of Saybrook)? I believe it is because Margery was a relative of William Whiting's wife, Susannah. The most likely relative would be that Susannah and Margery were sisters.

Therefore, I would propose as a theory that William Whiting's wife was born Susannah Pritchard. Of course this needs further research, but this theory is statistically more likely than the notion that she was Susannah Wiggins.

Wadsworth or the Oaktree Charter
Found a clue in the Wadsworth or Charter Oak book today about where the information was obtained that Gov John Winthrop of Connecticut stayed with William Whiting on Coleman Street in London when he went there to secure the Charter for Connecticut Colony. The book says on page 233: "After the return of Governor Winthrop it was learned that upon his arrival in London he repaired to the home of William Whiting in Coleman Street near St. Stephen's church." So the source of this information appears to be among records in Connecticut.

No concrete information has been discovered on whom William married. In a letter written by Thomas Fairchild, dated December 1662, to John Winthrop of Hartford (who was in London at the time) a Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting, of the city of London, was mentioned. Some genealogist, such as Nathaniel Goodwin, believes this Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting was the wife of William. We do know that William's son Joseph, was appointed administrator of his estate when William died in London in 1699. (Goodwin pg. 143).

Margery, m. bef. 1637 William Parker; lived Hartford and Saybrook
Posted by: Duane Boggs (ID *****6286)Date: February 20, 2011 at 11:50:26
of 1716

On or about April 2, 1646, William Whiting of Hartford, in what would later become Connecticut, wrote a Will. He made a bequest of 10 pounds to a Margery Parker. I believe this was likely the same woman as the Margery who had married William Parker before 1637, resided for a time in Hartford, but then had moved to Saybrook before 1646. Many, if not most, Parker researchers suggest that Margery's maiden name was Pritchard (a/k/a Prichard).

I have recently found an abstract of the William Whiting Will at the following source:

"A Catalogue of the Names of the First Puritan Settlers of the Colony of ...", by Royal Ralph Hinman, at p. 97:

“Whiting, William, Hartford - was a member of the General Court in 1637. The Court ordered him to supply 100 pounds of beef (for Hartford) to carry on the Pequot war, in 1637. He was treasurer of the colony in 1641 to 1647. . . . . . His estate at his decease was over £9000 sterling. In 1649 [DAB: sic-is this a typo for 1647? LDS and World Connect trees all suggest an important date (of Will? Probate? Death? Burial?) of July 24, 1647] he made his will. His children were William, John, Samuel, Sarah, Mary and Joseph. Joseph appears to have been born after the will was made, and he provided for him by a codicil to his will. He had a sister Wiggins who had children. He gave £10 to Margery Parker, £10 to Mr. Hopkins; £10 to Mr. Webster; £10 to the children of Mr. Hooker; £10 to the children of Mr. Stone; £10 to the poor of Hartford; £5 to the town of Hartford; £5 to the poor of Windsor; £5 to the poor of Wethersfield, and £5 to the children of the Rev.

The Charter Oak
My family holds regular family reunions. At some point during every reunion, we take the time to honor our ancestors by learning something new about our family’s heritage. During our last reunion, a fierce rainstorm forced us indoors during the afternoon’s activities. After the family gathered together, my father handed everyone a sheet of paper that contained a story of my tenth-great-grandfather, Joseph Wadsworth.
I eagerly followed along as my father told the story. Joseph Wadsworth was born in 1647 in Hartford, Connecticut, to William Wadsworth and Elizabeth Stone. He served in the military for most of his life. My father said that Joseph commanded the respect of his fellow townsmen. A captain and practicing attorney, he died in 1730 having served his country nobly and honorably throughout his life. But one particular event in Joseph’s life left a deep impression on me. I learned a story about courage–and a tree.
When the colony of Connecticut was formed in 1639, the people wanted to ensure that each of the colony’s three settlements had equal rights. Elected representatives from each settlement wrote the Fundamental Orders, which allowed the colony to govern itself. In 1662, King Charles II gave the Connecticut colony a charter that empowered them with a legal basis and the approval of the king. As a result, Connecticut became an independent colony with its own government.
Twenty years later, in 1682, King James II wanted Connecticut officials to surrender the charter granted by his predecessor so he could unite the New England colonies. Of course, they resisted the attempts. The king then directed Sir Edmund Andros, his agent and the governor of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, to take control and retrieve the charter. Andros told the Connecticut leaders of the king’s decision and set up a meeting with the governor and other officials of the colony–one of whom was my grandfather–to discuss the matter further.
The Connecticut representatives had all but given in to the powerful requests of the king on the day Andros arrived in Connecticut, 31 October 1687. As the story goes, at the meeting the Connecticut officials were on one side of a long table and Andros and the British were on the other side. The charter lay in the middle of the table, separating the two sides. During a heated discussion of the surrender of the charter, the candles in the room were suddenly extinguished. When the candles were re-lit, the Connecticut Charter was gone, and Joseph was nowhere to be found.
On that crucial night in October, with the fate of Connecticut hanging in the balance, Joseph snatched the charter from the table, left the room without a trace, and ran down Main Street. Joseph hid the charter in what he knew would be a safe place–a hollow oak tree, now known as the Charter Oak.
Joseph kept the charter in his possession until May of 1715, when the government was stable enough to ensure its safety. The tree was destroyed on 21 August 1856 during a great storm, but not before the story of Joseph Wadsworth and the Charter Oak became legendary.
Andros knew that without the charter, he would have no hope of gaining a political hold on Connecticut. He was right. The charter was not turned over to the British that night, and Connecticut was the only one of the original thirteen colonies to maintain self-rule until the American Revolution.
As my father finished telling the story, he pulled a quarter out of his pocket and showed us how the legend lives on today. The Charter Oak is engraved on the new Connecticut quarter, the fifth of the fifty U.S. Commemorative Quarters that are being released over the next ten years by the United States Mint.
He handed each of us a Connecticut quarter so we would have a daily reminder of our past. It was then that I realized my family tree has deep roots in this great nation–in the form of a tree, and a courageous man.

Will of William Whiting died 24 July 1647
William Whiting was at Hartford in 1636, a wealthy merchant who had been engaged in a patent for lands at Swamscot with Lord Say and Lord Brook. He had wife Susanna, son William and perhaps John before leaving England. Savage says that possibly he came with Thomas Wiggin in 1633, and probably he came from Cambridge MA, since other prominent persons removed thence that year. He was an early member of First Church, and his name is on the Founders Monument of Hartford. In 1637 Whiting was one of the first representatives; in 1641, Assistant; and he served as Treasurer of the Colony from 1643 to his death in 1647, when he was called Major.

In the Granberry Family, the Margery Parker mentioned in the 1646 will above is identified as the wife of William Parker; both were born in England. William died at Saybrook CT 21 December 1686, and Margery died at Saybrook 6 December 1680. The authors comment on the L10 legacy: "This was a good-sized legacy to receive from a man, even though wealthy, who had a wife and children; and though no relationship is mentioned, it is likely that Margery was connected in some way with the Whitings or that they brought her to this country as a member of their household. The Parker children were all recorded at Saybrook, though the older ones must have been born at Hartford. The eldest was born in 1637, so the marriage of William and Margery probably occurred soon after they came to Hartford."
The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire gives information about Capt. Thomas Wiggin, gentleman. Wiggins witnessed delivery of the Vines patent 25 June 1630, the Hilton patent 7 July 1631, and of Piscataqua 22 October 1631. He was in England 31 August 1632, and there on 19 November 1632 when he wrote to Sec. Cooke estimating the English in N.E. as about 2000. A week later a patent was granted by the Council of N.E. In March 1632/1633 he was called the chief agent (in England) of the honest men about to buy out the Bristol men's plantation at Piscataqua and plant 500 people before Michaelmas. Winthrop, on 10 November 1633, records his arrival at Salem in the James with about 30 men. He went directly to Piscataqua from where he wrote a letter in November 1633. As agent for Lords Say and Brooke and in his own interest, he was opposed to the Mason claims, and in time became a strong adherent of Massachusetts and a help in extending their power. His wife Katherine was willed L5, and each of her children L5 by her brother Mr. William Whiting.

He removed with his family "from the Bay" to Hartford, and was ordained over the First Church in 1660. In 1669, in consequence of the discussions which agitated the church at that time, Mr. Whiting and others presented a petition to the Assembly "for their approbation, for a distinct walking in Congregational Church Order," which was granted, and in 1670, a new Church was formed, of which Mr. Whiting was chosen pastor, and so continued till his death, September 8th, 1689.

Descendants of William Whiting


Generation No. 2

2.REV. JOHN3 WHITING (WILLIAM2, JOHN1)6,7,8 was born Oct 1635 in Hartford, CT, and died 8 Sep 1689 in Hadley, MA.He married (1) SYBIL COLLINS9 1654 in Cambridge, Mass, daughter of EDWARD COLLINS and MARTHA BAYLIE.She was born Nov 1637 in Cambridge, Mass, and died 4 Jun 1672 in Hartford, CT.He married (2) PHEBE GREGSON 1673 in New Haven, CT, daughter of THOMAS GREGSON and JANE________.She was born 15 Oct 1643 in New Haven, CT, and died 19 Sep 1730 in New Haven, CT.
Notes for REV. JOHN WHITING:
John is our direct descendent.See our book, "Our Whiting Heritage" for a more complete narrative.
Our John married twice, first to Sybil Collins the daughter of Edward and Martha (Baylie) Collins. During their 18-year marriage, John and Sybil had seven children. In 1673, the 38-year-old John married Phebe Gregson, daughter of Thomas and Jane Gregson of New Haven, with whom he had seven additional children. John graduated from Harvard College in 1653 at the age of 18 and several records state he preached several years in and around Salem, Massachusetts before moving to Cambridge. Other records indicate John moved to Cambridge Massachusetts shortly after graduation sometime in 1653/54. In 1660 he moved with his family "from the Bay" to Hartford, CT where he was ordained at the First Congregational Church. (Salem Town Records.)
According to journals taken from New England Families Memorial, there was a Rev John Whiting who served as the chaplain of the Hartford Colonial Foot forces during the King Philip's War in 1675. The journal further states this John Whiting was killed by Indians on Sept 8, 1690.Other articles record John Whiting died from Indians in Sept 1697, and Sept 1688. We now know that the Rev. John Whiting who was killed by Indians was the descendent of Samuel Whiting of Lynn, Mass., who is no relation to our Hartford Whitings. (Whiting Memoir).

There are some discrepancies on where Sarah was born.Two references place her birth in England, arriving in 1633 and settling in Hartford with her parents, William & Susannah.Other references place her birth in Hartford, Connecticut.
Notes for JACOB MYGATT:
Information on Jacob's father comes from; "The Lyons Family"Privately Published, in 1965 by Charlton Havard Lyons.Jacob's father JOSEPH MYGATT came to America in 1633, with the famous ministers, Cotton and Hooker, on the ship, "Griffin".He was made a freeman on May 6, 1635, and went with Hooker to Hartford, Conn. He represented that colony in the General Assembly on several occasions. The name of Joseph's wife is unknown. They had two children, one of whom was Jacob Mygatt. (Lyons pg.16)

Memoir of the life and character of Mrs. Mary Anna Boardman: with a ...
By John Frederick Schroeder
6. JOSEPH. He " appears to have been born after the will of his father was made," (1619,) who " provided for him by a codicil."* He was for thirty-nine years, 1679-1718, Treasurer of the colony ; for twenty-one years, 1725-1746, a member of the General Assembly ; and for twelve years, 1732-1744, one of the Judges of the colony. When James II of England sncceeded to the British throne, in 1685, his lawless and cruel condnct toward the colonies led a Special Assembly of Connecticut to appoint (1680) Mr. Whiting their agent, to repair to England, and endeavor to preserve the colony's chartered rights. This he did, mnch to the satisfaction of his constituents ;t and, in the reign of William and Mary, he cooperated with Mr. Increase Mather, in effecting a renewal of the charter, to the colony's great joy.f [I thought this Mr. Whiting was the oldest brother William.]

No concrete information has been discovered on whom William married. In a letter written by Thomas Fairchild, dated December 1662, to John Winthrop of Hartford (who was in London at the time) a Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting, of the city of London, was mentioned. Some genealogist, such as Nathaniel Goodwin, believes this Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting was the wife of William. We do know that William's son Joseph, was appointed administrator of his estate when William died in London in 1699. (Goodwin pg. 143).

Rev. Samuel Russell, second son of the Rev. John and Rebecca (Newberry) Russell, born Nov. 4, 1660, graduated at Harvard in 1681.
After graduation, for a while he taught the grammar school
* Report of Record Commissioners, Boston, Births, 1700-1800, p. 7. t New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. XVI, p. 13. at Hadley. On the 12th of September, 1687, he was called to the pastorate of the church at Branford, Connecticut, and there he served for the remainder of his life. "He became the second father of the town. His ministry, peaceful and prosperous, was prolonged forty-four years, though he was disabled from preaching during the last six years of his life."
"Tradition makes it probable that the proposed meeting [for considering the establishing of Yale College] took place in the south parlor of the house of the Rev. Samuel Russel, and that the few then assembled, by engaging to give books from their scanty libraries as a nucleus of College property, constituted themselves the founders of the institution, and in this capacity presented their petition for a charter to the General Assembly the next week"* [second week of October, 1701]. He was one of the most active supporters of the project and became one of the trustees of the new college.
In May, 1699, he preached the election sermon and received the thanks of the General Assembly.
Rev. Samuel Russell married Abigail Whiting, born 1666, daughter of the Rev. John and Sybil (Collins) Whiting of Hartford, Connecticut.
He died June 25, 1731. His widow Abigail, died May 7, 1733.

Hon. Wm. Whiting, the American ancestor of the Connecticut branch of the Whiting family, came to New England in 1633, and resided for three years in Newtown (now Cambridge), removing thence with Rev. Thomas Hooker and others to Hartford, Conn., of which he was an original proprietor. Frequent mention is made of him as "one of the fathers of the colony." He was referred to in the town records as "William Whiting, Gentleman." He was several times representative to the General Court; was one of the Magistrates in 1642, was chosen Treasurer of the Colony in 1641, and continued in that office till his death. By his wife Susanna, he had issue, John.

================================THIRD GENERATION
Samuel Whiting and Elizabeth Adam

Samuel3 (John2 William1) the youngest child of John and Sybil Whiting was born on 22 Apr 1670 in Hartford, CT. He received his early education from his father and afterwards moved to Norwich, CT where he finished his education for the ministry under the direction of Reverend James Fitch. Soon after this apprenticeship he followed his father's footsteps and went into the ministry. It should be noted here that while researching our heritage, we've come across many occasions where records and articles have confused the two Reverend Samuel Whitings. Our Reverend Samuel Whiting resided in Windham Connecticut and Reverend Samuel Whiting who married Elizabeth St. John resided in Lynn Massachusetts.

Shortly after his apprenticeship, sometime around 1692, our Samuel was called upon to be the first minister at Windham. "As an inducement he was promised œ50 annually, and a dwelling to be eighteen feet square and two stories high! After he was ordained at Windham December 4, 1700, his salary increased to œ100 with a supply of fuel." In a record kept by himself Samuel wrote, "I preached my first sermon at Windham, from the first verse of Genesis, on the first day of January, 1692-3. I was ordained at Windham, on the 4th day of December, 1700." (Autobiography of W.S. Tyler)

The life and ministry of Samuel Whiting is described in a book published by the town of Windham in celebration of its bicentennial. The book describes Windham's first century during which the Whitings were a distinguished family, describing our Samuel as "a man of uncommon fervor in the pulpit, who mingled greatly with the people in their everyday transactions and who had large interests in real estate."

Down through generations of Whitings and their Allied families there have been many notable individuals and historical connections. When our Samuel married Elizabeth Adams our Whiting heritage was forever bonded with the descendents of the "Mayflower". Elizabeth was born on 23 Feb 1680 in Norfolk, Mass and was the daughter of Reverend William Adams, of Dedham, Massachusetts. Her mother, Alice Bradford, was the daughter of Deputy Governor William Bradford, and the granddaughter of Governor Bradford of the Mayflower. Samuel and Elizabeth were married in Norwich, on Sept. 14, 1696 and a passage taken from their marriage ceremony gave the following quote: "This marriage gives beautiful ascent. It starts with the 'Mayflower' through the Bradfords and takes in the great men of the Adams family, and coming down reaches descendants who give far more to life than they demand." (New England Families Genealogical Memorials).

As a clergyman, Samuel's growing reputation and sincere dedication to the community helped spawn one of three early religious revivals in colonial Connecticut. "In 1721 there occurred a remarkably precious and powerful revival in Windham, under the ministry of the Rev. Samuel Whiting, in which eighty persons were added to the church in that town." (Congregational Church of Windham) Also in the same year, (1721) while Samuel & Elizabeth were residing in Windham, they visited family or friends in Stonnington, Connecticut where his name appears in the records of their church. The following excerpts were taken from those records: Baptised: June 23, 1721 Mr. Samuel Whiting, Pastor of ye Church of Christ at Windham Preacht. A Lecture, and baptized Daniel, son of Daniel Denison; Oliver, son of James Babcock; and Benadam, son of William Denison. (History of the 1st Congregational Church Stoningtin, Connecticut).

Samuel and Elizabeth, much like their parents and grandparents, held considerable amount of real estate. In one transaction we've researched, a Thomas Huntington, granted a huge parcel of "wilderness land in the county of Hartford" to Samuel and Elizabeth, a holding he kept until his death. During their 29-year marriage, Samuel and Elizabeth had 14 children. Six of those children, Samuel, Joseph, Lidea, Martha, Mary and Eliphalet died at an early age. Samuel was 18 when he died at sea, and Joseph died in Windham in 1721 at the age of 17. Lidea, a twin to Sybil, died one day after she was born on May 05, 1708. Martha was only 9 when she died. (Her headstone can be found in the Windham Cemetery) Mary Whiting married Thomas Clap and we believe she died of childbirth complications. Mary died at age 24, less than 2 weeks after giving birth to her son Saltonstall. Eliphalet Whiting died in Windham, CT just a few months after his 21st birthday.

Sixteen months after their last child, Nathan Whiting, was born Samuel Whiting died at Enfield, while visiting his cousin Reverend Nathaniel Collins, on September 27, 1725. (Mr. Collins was also his brother-in-law, having married Alice Adams the sister of his wife.) Family records state Samuel was buried in Hartford, but his actual grave site is located in the Enfield Street Cemetery, Enfield Connecticut. Samuel was 55 years old when he died. Samuel's headstone inscription at Enfield Street Cemetery reads: Samuel, Rev, minister of Church of Windham, d 27 Sep 1725, ae 55 yrs.

Twelve years after Samuel died, the 56 year old Elizabeth married Reverend Samuel Niles of Braintree, Mass., in December 2, 1737. After Reverend Niles died, (May 1, 1762), she moved to New Haven where she lived with her youngest son, Col. Nathan Whiting, and died on December 21, 1766, two months before her 86th birthday.
Children of SAMUEL WHITING and ELIZABETH ADAMS

ANNE WHITING was born 2 Jan 1697/98 in Windham, CT., and died 18 Sep 1778 in Lebanon, CT. She married JOSEPH FITCH on 29 Dec 1721 in Lebanon, CT. During their 20-year marriage Anne and Joseph had six children all born in Lebanon. We have found no records indicating Anne, who was 43 years old at the time of Joseph's death, never remarried. Anne (Whiting) Fitch, died in Lebanon at 80 years of age in 1778.

SAMUEL WHITING was born on 20 Feb 1699/00 in Windham, CT., and died at age 18 in 1718 when he was lost at sea.

Elizabeth died two and half years after their youngest child was born at the young age of 28, and is probably buried in New London. During their 5-year marriage Elizabeth and William had two children born in New London.

WILLIAM WHITING was born on 22 Jan 1703/04 in Windham, CT and died 1787 probably in Norwich, CT. He married ANNA RAYMOND on 5 Mar 1723/24 in Norwich, CT. During their 49-year marriage William and Anna had 6 children all born in Norwich. He later married ALATHEA (WOODWORTH) SMITH on 8 Mar 1774 in Norwich, CT.

Nathaniel Parsons, son of Philip and Anna Parsons, was born at Enfield, March 11, 1709-10. He or a son of the same name fought as a soldier in the French and Indian War in 1758 in Lieutenant David Parson's company, under General Phinehas Lyman, Third Company, First Regiment. He bought land on the Scantic River, January 26, 1728-29; and various other property at Enfield. Another Nathaniel Parsons appears to have lived at Enfield at the same time. He moved to Somers, Connecticut, and his wife Mary died there in her eighty-second year. They had a son, Stephen, born February 20, 1730-31. Nathaniel Parsons, son of Philip Parsons, married Alice Collins, January 29, 1735-36.

Alice (Collins) Parsons was born March 14, 1716, the daughter of the Rev. Nathaniel Collins, minister of the Enfield Church, who was graduated from Harvard College in 1697; married, in 1701, Alice Adams. She was the daughter of the Rev. William Adams, of Dedham, Massachusetts; and died February 19, 1755. The Rev. Nathaniel Collins was born June 13, 1681, died February 6, 1758. He was the son of the Rev. Nathaniel Collins who was born at Cambridge, Massachusetts, March 7, 1642, and died at Middletown, Connecticut, December 28, 1684; was graduated at Harvard College in 1660; and was ordained minister at Middletown, Connecticut, November 4, 1666.

Rev. Nathaniel Collins was the son of Edward and his wife Mary England

On the ship, The Defence, the Rev. Shepherd with several parishioners, including John Russell and Roger Harlakendon, set sail for New England in 1635. Accompanying them in this settlement was Mr. Edward Collins.

Edward Collins went on to establish himself in nearby Medford, where he acquired Gov. Craddock's massive estate, and later sold 1600 acres of his plantation to Richard Russell. The first preserved documentation from England that Daniel Markham, born in June 1641, in Earls Colne, was the same as the Cambridge, MA. Resident is provided by the will of a Daniel Collins, written in 1639 and probated in 1643. In it, he leaves fifty pounds British currency to "the wife of Cousin Markham." In the same will, he mentions his brother, Samuel, Vicar of Braintree, and Edward Collins, "now in New England," and names several children of Edward Collins.

He also mentioned his mother was buried at Braintree. The town of Braintree is in Essex, next to Earls Colne. Daniel Collins referred to "the lease of the Dolphin." There is property named, "The Dolphin, in Halstead, which also borders Earls Colne. This same property is mentioned in the records of Earls Coln in association with other plots of ground, which have been identified with James Markham, which also was held by a John Collins prior to James Markham.

In 1670, Daniel Markham, then also of Medford, MA, was deposed to testify on behalf of Edward Collins, plaintiff, involving an alleged theft of a mare and colt by a neighbor. During his testimony, he, Daniel, on several occasions referred to Mr. Collins as his uncle. The court reporter mentioned that the deponent, Daniel Markham, "was aged 25 years or thereabouts," which is consistent with the christening records of Earls Colne, which would put him at the age of 27 at this time. (Ref: Court records of Middlesex County, MA)

By his own words, as recorded in the MA Court records, Daniel Markham identified his uncle Edward Collins. From England, Daniel Collins, in his will, identified his cousin Markham (referring to James Markham and his wife Martha Collins) as his relative, Edward Collins, in New England. And, in Earls Colne, Essex, there is a documentation of the marriage of James Markham and Martha Collins, who had a son, Daniel, born in 1641.

More About These Family Connections

Captain Thomas Abbe, son of Thomas Abbe, Sr. and Mary Pease, married in Enfield, June 22, 1749, Penelope Terry, born in Enfield, February 5, 1729-30; died there December 5 1817.

Penelope Terry was the daughter of Dr. (or Captain) Ebenezer and Mary (Helms) Terry.

Children, born in Enfield Abigail Abbey, b. May 13, 1750; d. June 22, 1844. Resided in the east part of Enfield, CT. Married in Enfield, Nov. 1, 1770, Eliphalet Collins, b. in Enfield, July 11, 1744; d. May 22, 1815, son of Nathaniel and Abigail (Pease) Collins.

Taken from the book, Abbe history: And then a murmuring of bees Broke in upon the house of prayer; And then a wind-song swept the trees, And then a snarl from wolfish lair; And then a charge of grenadiers, And then a flight of drum-beat cheers. So drum and doctrine rudely blent, The casements rattled strange accord; No mortal knew what either meant; "Twas double-grad and Holy Word, Thus saith the drum and thus the Lord. The captain raised so wild a rout He drummed the congregation out. The people gathered round amazed; The soldier bared his head and spoke, And every sentence burned and blazed, As trenchant as a sabre stroke: "Tis time to pick the flint to day, To sling the knapsack, and away! "The green of Lexington is red With British redcoats, brothers' blood! In rightful cause the earliest dead Are always best beloved of God. Mark time! Now let the march begin! All bound for Boston fall right in " Then rub-a-dub the drum jarred on, The throbbing role of battle beat; "Fall in, my men!" and one by one They rhymed the tune with heart and feet, And so they made a Sabbath march To glory 'neath the elm-tree arch. The Continental line unwound Along the Church-yard's breathless sod, And holier grew the hallowed ground Where Virtue slept and Valor trod, Two hundred strong that April day They rallied out and marched away. Brigaded there at Bunker Hill, Their names are writ on glories page. The brave old captain's Sunday drill Has drummed its way across the age.

The church around which Captain Abbey beat the long roll was completed in the January preceding, and stood near the present church. It was used as a church for the town until 1849, when it was bought by the town and moved to the west side of the street, where it now stands and has been used as a town hall ever since. A memorial to Captain Abbey and others of the family is about to be erected by Mr. Alden Freeman with his mother and sisters.

The Abbey Memorial will be on the Green in Enfield, on the site of the church out of which Captain Abbey drummed the congregation at the Lexington Alarm. The actual site of the old church is just in front of the present edifice. The design calls for a marble statue on a pedestal surrounded by four marble seats in the Greek style. On the backs of these seats are inscriptions commemorating the achievements of some of the best known descendants of the Abbey family, in the fields of war, literature and science. The sculptor, Sherry E. Fry, used as a model for the face and figure for the statue of Captain Abbey, a daguerreotype of his grandson, Seth Alden Abbey, taken at the same age.

Daniel C. French, sculptor of the "Minute Men" unveiled at Concord Bridge in 1875, has taken great interest in the work of Mr. Fry, and loaned him the simple Colonial suit used for the presentation of Captain Abbey.

The following is an extract from a letter written by Seth Alden Abbey to his son, Henry G. Abbey, dated June 15, 1872, telling something of Thomas Abbey: When a small boy, I was frequently at his house for a week at a time and have heard him tell many a thrilling tale of his hairbreadth escapes, hardships, sufferings, etc. During the French War he received a commission as Ensign in the Colonial troops and saw considerable service against the French and Indians. At the breaking out of the Revolution, a volunteer company was formed in his neighborhood and he was elected their captain and they were soon ordered to join Colonel Willett's Regiment in New York. I have heard him say, frequently, that he had chances of promotion, often, but his men would not consent to his leaving them. When a boy I saw many of his old soldiers who had served during the war; and the neighbors were as particular in addressing any of them, in giving them their title, as Corporal such a one, or Sergeant such a one, as they would be in addressing a General. Thomas Abbey died in 1811, and was as anxious for a fight with old England, which was then much talked of, just before his death, as in his younger days. He died suddenly with apoplexy.

By Albert James Perry
Samuel Morse Whiting
Samuel Morse Whiting, who engaged in mercantile pursuits in Altona, was born in that town on the 11th of August, 1857, and traces his ancestry back to William and Susannah Whiting, who settled in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1632, having come from Boxford, Suffolk, England. William Whiting was a very wealthy merchant who had received a patent for land at Sevanscot with Lord Say and Lord Brook. He served as treasurer of Connecticut colony from 1642 to 1647 and died in July of the latter year. His wife passed away July 8, 1673. Their son Joseph Whiting , who was born October 2, 1640 and died October 8, 1717, was married in 1676 to Anna Allyn, who was born August 18, 1652, and died March 3, 1735. She was a daughter of Colonel John and Ann (Smith) Allyn. Her father, who was secretary of the Connecticut colony for twenty-eight years, was born February 24, 1630, and died November 11, 1696. John Whiting, son of Joseph and Anna (Allyn) Whiting, was born December 15, 1693, and died February 12, 1766. He married Jerusha Lord, who was born in 1699 and died in 1776. Their son Allyn Whiting was a soldier of the Revolutionary war, being a private in Major Sheldon’s'Regiment of Light Horse and Colonel Enos’ Regiment on the Hudson. He was born June 23, ‘1740, and died February 9, 1818. He and his wife Elizabeth joined the church at West Hartford in 1758. Their son Joseph Whiting was born in August, 1763, and died February 16, 1842. He was ‘married in 1784 to Mary Goodwin, who was born in 1766 and died in 1835. Their son Allyn Whiting, who was the grandfather of our subject, was born July 4, 1788, and died in Aurora, Illinois, November 3, 1871. He married Amanda Alford, who was born June 6, 1796, and died May 3, 1849. Their son Samuel Phelps Whiting, the father of our subject, was born September 19, 1821, in Hartford, Connecticut, and was married, in Litchfield, that state, May 28, 1845, to Miss Lucretia Morse who was born in Litchfield, August 22, 1823, and died April 5, 1901. She was a daughter of Jacob and Harriet Morse, who were married March 14, 1821. Her mother was born March 17, 1800, and died February 28, 1882, in Litchfield. Her father was born in that city March 6, 1792, and was a son of Levi and Thalia (Sanford) Morse. Levi Morse was born in Litchfield, September 19, 1775, and died January 20, 1841. His wife was born October 26, 1776, and died July 16, 1854. Mrs. Lucretia (Morse) Whiting belonged to a very prominent old New England family and a monument has been erected which bears the following inscription: “To the memory of seven Puritans who emigrated from England to America in 1635-9. John Morse, born 1604, settled at New Haven and died at Wallingford, Connecticut, 1707, aged one hundred and three years. Samuel Morse, born 1585, settled at Dedham, 1636, died at Medfield, 1654. Joseph Morse, settled at Ipswich, where he died 1646. Anthony Morse, born at Marlboro, England, 1606, died at Newbury, 1686. William Morse, born 1608, died 1685. Robert and Peter, their brothers, settled and died in New Jersey.”
Samuel Phelps Whiting, the father of our subject, conducted a meat market in his native city until coming to Victoria, Illinois, in 1851, with his brother Richard and family. They engaged in mercantile business for two years and at the end of that time Samuel P. Whiting removed to Altona, where he opened'a meat market. In addition to that business he also engaged in the raising and shipping of cattle, horses and hogs, becoming one of the leading men engaged in that enterprise in the locality. He disposed of his stock in Peoria, which was the nearest market. His was one of the first frame houses built in Altona and was situated on Main street, opposite the present place of business of Samuel M. Whiting. In 1878 he admitted his son Samuel as a business partner and subsequently purchased and edited for five years Altona’s only newspaper —the Altona Journal. He took an active interest in public affairs and was a supporter of the republican party. After a useful and well spent life he passed away in March, 1907. In his family were four children: Samuel M.- of this review; Della, the wife of A. H. Miles, a druggist of Des Moines, Iowa; Inez, the wife of A. G. Edwards, a druggist and ex city treasurer of Omaha, Nebraska; and Angie, the wife of Ernest R. Smith, of Palo Alto, California.
Samuel M. Whiting has been engaged in the meat market business since he finished school at the age of fifteen years. In addition to conducting his market he has also bought and shipped cattle to the near-by markets. For one year he ran a restaurant and from 1892-to 1897 he conducted a meat market in Galesburg but then returned to Altona. In his dealings he has maintained the strictest business integrity, realizing that satisfied customers are the best advertisement. He keeps in touch with the trade, knows what the market offers and carries a good line of meats, while his prices are reasonable and his treatment of his patrons always courteous.
Mr. Whiting was married to Miss Ella M. Pierce, of Walnut Grove township whose birth occurred January 5, 1860. She is a daughter of Mathew Pierce, who came to Altona from New York state when very young and is now living retired at Galesburg. To Mr. and Mrs. Whiting four children have been born: Claude N., an electrician, who married Jennie Nelson and is residing in Cairo, Illinois; Harry S., the assistant cashier of the State Bank at Victoria, Illinois, who married Lillian Wenstrom, of Altona, and they have a little daughter, Lucile, born January 11, 1912; Inez, who is engaged in teaching music and is residing at home; and Mathew Pierce, who since his graduation from school has assisted his father in the meat market.
Mr. Whiting is an active and enthusiastic republican and has frequently been elected to ofiice. He has served as village clerk and has four times been elected supervisor, his first election being in 1889. For nine years he served as county committeeman and during that time did much active work in furthering the interests of the republican party. Practically his whole life has been spent in Altona, where he has the distinction of being one of the two oldest business men. He occupies a place of prominence as one of the energetic business men, succeeding in what he undertakes by reason of his forceful character and his strict conformity to modern business methods.

Saturday morning, May 14,1994 we left Windsor Locks, Conn., to drive to Somersworth, New Hampshire to visit our daughter Linda. We stopped at Windsor and visited the Palisado Cemetery, an "old and new cemetery" behind the United Church of Christ (Congregational). This building was erected in 1794, but the organization is among the oldest gathered congregations in North America. The cemetery contains tombstones dating from the 1600s. The first stone we found was that of Jerusha Lord Whiting, (see notes on her for inscription). Beside this stone tablet was an all white stone for Col. John Whiting.

We also visited the Windsor Historical Society, 96 Palisado Ave. It is the site of the Lt. Walter Fyler house, built in 1640, one of the oldest frame houses in Connecticut. We were surprised to find it open on Saturday morning. The gentleman who opened the door was very cordial, and assisted in helping us find records of 'cemetery inscription' of some of my ancestors. I also met a lady from Charleston, South Carolina who was working on Matthew Allyn's line.
Matthew Allyn went to Windsor after the founding of Hartford. His name is on the Founders's Monument in the gold Street cemetery in Hartford.

History of Knox County, Illinois: Its Cities, Towns and People, Volume 2, Part 2
By Albert James Perry
Samuel Morse Whiting
Samuel Morse Whiting, who engaged in mercantile pursuits in Altona, was born in that town on the 11th of August, 1857, and traces his ancestry back to William and Susannah Whiting, who settled in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1632, having come from Boxford, Suffolk, England. William Whiting was a very wealthy merchant who had received a patent for land at Sevanscot with Lord Say and Lord Brook. He served as treasurer of Connecticut colony from 1642 to 1647 and died in July of the latter year. His wife passed away July 8, 1673. Their son Joseph Whiting , who was born October 2, 1640 and died October 8, 1717, was married in 1676 to Anna Allyn, who was born August 18, 1652, and died March 3, 1735. She was a daughter of Colonel John and Ann (Smith) Allyn. Her father, who was secretary of the Connecticut colony for twenty-eight years, was born February 24, 1630, and died November 11, 1696. John Whiting, son of Joseph and Anna (Allyn) Whiting, was born December 15, 1693, and died February 12, 1766. He married Jerusha Lord, who was born in 1699 and died in 1776. Their son Allyn Whiting was a soldier of the Revolutionary war, being a private in Major Sheldon’s'Regiment of Light Horse and Colonel Enos’ Regiment on the Hudson. He was born June 23, ‘1740, and died February 9, 1818. He and his wife Elizabeth joined the church at West Hartford in 1758. Their son Joseph Whiting was born in August, 1763, and died February 16, 1842. He was ‘married in 1784 to Mary Goodwin, who was born in 1766 and died in 1835. Their son Allyn Whiting, who was the grandfather of our subject, was born July 4, 1788, and died in Aurora, Illinois, November 3, 1871. He married Amanda Alford, who was born June 6, 1796, and died May 3, 1849. Their son Samuel Phelps Whiting, the father of our subject, was born September 19, 1821, in Hartford, Connecticut, and was married, in Litchfield, that state, May 28, 1845, to Miss Lucretia Morse who was born in Litchfield, August 22, 1823, and died April 5, 1901. She was a daughter of Jacob and Harriet Morse, who were married March 14, 1821. Her mother was born March 17, 1800, and died February 28, 1882, in Litchfield. Her father was born in that city March 6, 1792, and was a son of Levi and Thalia (Sanford) Morse. Levi Morse was born in Litchfield, September 19, 1775, and died January 20, 1841. His wife was born October 26, 1776, and died July 16, 1854. Mrs. Lucretia (Morse) Whiting belonged to a very prominent old New England family and a monument has been erected which bears the following inscription: “To the memory of seven Puritans who emigrated from England to America in 1635-9. John Morse, born 1604, settled at New Haven and died at Wallingford, Connecticut, 1707, aged one hundred and three years. Samuel Morse, born 1585, settled at Dedham, 1636, died at Medfield, 1654. Joseph Morse, settled at Ipswich, where he died 1646. Anthony Morse, born at Marlboro, England, 1606, died at Newbury, 1686. William Morse, born 1608, died 1685. Robert and Peter, their brothers, settled and died in New Jersey.”
Samuel Phelps Whiting, the father of our subject, conducted a meat market in his native city until coming to Victoria, Illinois, in 1851, with his brother Richard and family. They engaged in mercantile business for two years and at the end of that time Samuel P. Whiting removed to Altona, where he opened'a meat market. In addition to that business he also engaged in the raising and shipping of cattle, horses and hogs, becoming one of the leading men engaged in that enterprise in the locality. He disposed of his stock in Peoria, which was the nearest market. His was one of the first frame houses built in Altona and was situated on Main street, opposite the present place of business of Samuel M. Whiting. In 1878 he admitted his son Samuel as a business partner and subsequently purchased and edited for five years Altona’s only newspaper —the Altona Journal. He took an active interest in public affairs and was a supporter of the republican party. After a useful and well spent life he passed away in March, 1907. In his family were four children: Samuel M.- of this review; Della, the wife of A. H. Miles, a druggist of Des Moines, Iowa; Inez, the wife of A. G. Edwards, a druggist and ex city treasurer of Omaha, Nebraska; and Angie, the wife of Ernest R. Smith, of Palo Alto, California.
Samuel M. Whiting has been engaged in the meat market business since he finished school at the age of fifteen years. In addition to conducting his market he has also bought and shipped cattle to the near-by markets. For one year he ran a restaurant and from 1892-to 1897 he conducted a meat market in Galesburg but then returned to Altona. In his dealings he has maintained the strictest business integrity, realizing that satisfied customers are the best advertisement. He keeps in touch with the trade, knows what the market offers and carries a good line of meats, while his prices are reasonable and his treatment of his patrons always courteous.
Mr. Whiting was married to Miss Ella M. Pierce, of Walnut Grove township whose birth occurred January 5, 1860. She is a daughter of Mathew Pierce, who came to Altona from New York state when very young and is now living retired at Galesburg. To Mr. and Mrs. Whiting four children have been born: Claude N., an electrician, who married Jennie Nelson and is residing in Cairo, Illinois; Harry S., the assistant cashier of the State Bank at Victoria, Illinois, who married Lillian Wenstrom, of Altona, and they have a little daughter, Lucile, born January 11, 1912; Inez, who is engaged in teaching music and is residing at home; and Mathew Pierce, who since his graduation from school has assisted his father in the meat market.
Mr. Whiting is an active and enthusiastic republican and has frequently been elected to ofiice. He has served as village clerk and has four times been elected supervisor, his first election being in 1889. For nine years he served as county committeeman and during that time did much active work in furthering the interests of the republican party. Practically his whole life has been spent in Altona, where he has the distinction of being one of the two oldest business men. He occupies a place of prominence as one of the energetic business men, succeeding in what he undertakes by reason of his forceful character and his strict conformity to modern business methods.

Saturday morning, May 14,1994 we left Windsor Locks, Conn., to drive to Somersworth, New Hampshire to visit our daughter Linda. We stopped at Windsor and visited the Palisado Cemetery, an "old and new cemetery" behind the United Church of Christ (Congregational). This building was erected in 1794, but the organization is among the oldest gathered congregations in North America. The cemetery contains tombstones dating from the 1600s. The first stone we found was that of Jerusha Lord Whiting, (see notes on her for inscription). Beside this stone tablet was an all white stone for Col. John Whiting.

We also visited the Windsor Historical Society, 96 Palisado Ave. It is the site of the Lt. Walter Fyler house, built in 1640, one of the oldest frame houses in Connecticut. We were surprised to find it open on Saturday morning. The gentleman who opened the door was very cordial, and assisted in helping us find records of 'cemetery inscription' of some of my ancestors. I also met a lady from Charleston, South Carolina who was working on Matthew Allyn's line.
Matthew Allyn went to Windsor after the founding of Hartford. His name is on the Founders's Monument in the gold Street cemetery in Hartford.

CHARLES WHITING
The second child of Colonel William Whiting and Mary
Allyn was born July 5, 1692, and was christened Charles. This
is the first time the name “Charles" appears in the Whiting]
family. The name was seldom bestowed. upon Puritan chil-
dren. This may have been due to the antipathy felt through-
out New England to the Stuart kings who played with the
destinies of the New England colonies as with pawns in a
game of chess. It became, however, a popular name with the
Whitings, and after this one child in each generation was called
18
“Charles." This Charles Whiting bore the title of Lieutenant.
, (Goodwin, p, 334).
He married January 10.1716, Elizabeth Bradford (I696-
1777), daughter of Samuel Bradford of Duxbury, Mass., and
great-granddaugbter of Governor William Bradford of Plym-
outh. Her mother. Hannah Rogers, was the descendant of
John and Priscilla Alden. In the children of these two the
blood of the Bradfords, Aldens, Rogers, Mullins, Whitings.
Pynchons and Allyns was united.

20. MARY5 RUSSELL (ABIGAIL4 WHITING, JOHN3, WILLIAM2, JOHN1)51 was born 1707 in Branford, CT, and died Aft. 1748 in Prob Branford, CT. She married (1) BENJAMIN FENN 5 Apr 1727 in Prob Branford, CT. He was born 1706 in Milford, CT, and died 3 Jan 1731/32. She married (2) ARCHIBALD MCNEIL52 Abt. 1736 in Prob Branford, CT. He was born 1708 in Branford, CT, and died 1752.

Notes for ARCHIBALD MCNEIL:
Narrative taken from "New England Families Genealogical and Memorial: Volume IV." (pg 1736)

Archibald McNeil, founder of the Connecticut line, was of Branford, where in 1735 he purchased lands. Subsequently he was a prominent citizen of New Haven, was assessor in 1740 and surveyor of highways in 1746, and was conspicuous in real estate transactions. A circumstance of particular interest is his participation, as one of the "brothers" in founding the first Masonic lodge in Connecticut (now known as Hiram Lodge, No. 1), at a meeting "held at Jehiel Tuttle's in New Haven on the festival of St. John the Evangelist, 1750". This was only seventeen years after the first institution of Masonry in the American colonies (which occurred at Boston, July 3, 1733).

Archibald McNeil was successfully engaged in the trade with the West Indies, in partnership with Samuel Cook (who was named as executor of his will), and was owner and supercargo of the ship "Peggy and Molly". He died in the island of Jamaica in the latter part of 1752 (see "Connecticut Colonial Records", vol. X, p. 577), and his will was probated in July, 1753, by his widow, who was placed under bond of three thousand pounds sterling, indicative of a very considerable estate for those times.

On the 12th of September, 1687, he was called to the pastorate of the church at Branford, Connecticut, and there he served for the remainder of his life. "He became the second father of the town. His ministry, peaceful and prosperous, was prolonged forty-four years, though he was disabled from preaching during the last six years of his life."
"Tradition makes it probable that the proposed meeting [for considering the establishing of Yale College] took place in the south parlor of the house of the Rev. Samuel Russel, and that the few then assembled, by engaging to give books from their scanty libraries as a nucleus of College property, constituted themselves the founders of the institution, and in this capacity presented their petition for a charter to the General Assembly the next week"* [second week of October, 1701]. He was one of the most active supporters of the project and became one of the trustees of the new college.
In May, 1699, he preached the election sermon and received the thanks of the General Assembly.
Rev. Samuel Russell married Abigail Whiting, born 1666, daughter of the Rev. John and Sybil (Collins) Whiting of Hartford, Connecticut.
He died June 25, 1731. His widow Abigail, died May 7, 1733.
