The reader should not confuse the family of William Whiting with that of his brother Charles. Both brothers married Hurlberts, and left their wives widows. Charles Whiting's widow was named Martha Manna. She and her children Martha Jane, Elisha Charles and Cordelia, left Nauvoo and crossed iowa with the rest of the Whitig family. Martha Manna died at Winter Quarters during the spring of 1847. Her son Elisha Charles, went to St. Joseph, Missouri with George Snyder. The city of St. Joseph on the Missouri Riverhead been settled five years earlier. Snyder went on to Salt Lake City, and Elisha Charles returned to Iowa in 1855. He lived in Mills County, (perhaps Silver Creek). He had an interest in a thrashing machine there -- the first in that section. He then moved to Fremont County and Fishers Grove (Manti). There on 27 June 1857 Elisha married Charlotte M. Calkins. The Calkins family had also been members of Lima Stake in Illinois. (Daisy Whiting Fletcher, quoting the History of Page County, Iowa, and also the records of the Cutlerite Church in a letter to Claire B. Christensen on 28 July 1971) (Also the Nauvoo Temple Record)
Martha Jane Whiting married Erastus Cutler, the son of Thaddeus and Lemira Cutler. He was seventeen in the Iowa census of 1856. That being true he was born in 1839. Martha Jame was perhaps a bit older than he. No one seems to know what happened to her sister, Cordelia.
Elisha Charles worked in a chair factory in Manti, Iowa (History of Page County.) Almon Whiting had a shop and made furniture. Sylvester Whiting ran a wagon shop. ( Booklet published by the Historical Society on Manti, Iowa). Elisha must have worked for his Uncle Almon. He also joined the Cutlerites. (Daisy W Fletcher)
