    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.

He was referred to in the town records as "William Whiting, Gentleman."

    ================================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.
