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.

Sarah Whiting is the daughter of Jerusha Lord and Colonel John Whiting. She married Ebenezer Merry Sr. November 5, 1772 in Connecticut.

Ebenezer and wife soon after marriage settled in Northern Ohio. The court appointed him guardian of Nathaniel and Stephen Markham, sons and minor heirs of David Markham, deceased, being under the age of fourteen years. Later, the town of Milan, Ohio was laid out in 1816 by Ebenezer Merry, who had two years previously removed to its township.

Mr. Merry was a native of West Hartford in Conn., and by his example contributed much, as the proprietor of the town, to promote good morals among the early inhabitants. He erected flour mills and saw mills. Mr. Merry was a man of acute observation, practical benevolence and unbounded hospitality. He repeatedly represented the county in the legislature of the state, was twice elected to a seat on the bench of common pleas, an honor in both instances declined. He died Jan 1, 1846 (Jan 12) at the age of 73, greatly beloved.

Notes:

!Genealogies and Biographies of Ancient Windsor, Stiles. Daniel md (1)Esther White 15 May 1765, (2) Ruth Spencer, 10 Feb 1771 (she died 12 Mar 1794,age 47), and possible (3) Clarinda Barber, 5 Jun 1799. He resided atHartford. Since the Daniel born 6 March 1734 did not die until 1823, it is presumedthat the Daniel baptized 18 Aug 1745 is the same Daniel although there is no explanation for why he was not baptized until 1745. Further, althoughJames White Skinner was not baptized until 5 Oct 1777, he is most likely theson of Esther White, whose surname is his middle name, rather than Ruth Spencer,who was the wife of Daniel in 1777. Perhaps Esther died in the childbirth ofJames and due to the circumstances he was not baptized at the time. Threeother children were recorded as baptized in the East Windsor church, however,no names or sexes were provided. Ordinance information from the 1988 IGI.

a marble slab to William Whiting, born at Hartford, Conn, in ",1758s>
who died at Warsaw, March 22, I8I4.9, aged 90 years. The Wyoming
County Mirror, recording his death, stated that at the commencement
of the Revolution he lived in Connecticut, near Hartford. In 1776,
he went to New York in the militia company of Lt. George Kellogg and
Col. Chester. In April 1777> he enlisted for three years and served
under Capt. Elisha Kimball, Col. John Chandler and Col. Joseph Hoit.
He was in the battles of Germantown, Ft. Mifflin and Monmouth.
During 1781 and 1782, he was in the team service under Capt; John
Waters, Conductor of Teams.
After the Revolution, he removed with several children to Granville, N.Y., then to Hampton and from there to Warsaw in 1821. He
was an honorable man and retained his faculties up to near the end
and the time of his death. He was a member of the Baptist Church.
His wife, the mother of his children, was Abigail Flower, who died
Aug. 25, 1832, aged 73 years. One of his sons, Nathan Whiting, and
a brother-in-law, Col. Chauncey Sheldon,were among the Americans who
joined the Canadian patriots in 1837» were captured and banished by
the British Government to Van Dieman's Land. They were pardoned and
returned to the United States some few years before the father's
death. DAR application papers state that Mr. Whiting saw three years
Revolutionary service as Private under Capt. Nehemiah Rice in Col.
Chandler's 8th Connecticut Regt. In I8l8, he apnlied for a pension
which was allowed. After his first wife's death, the old veteran
married three more times; his second wife, Lucinda Whiting, his
brother's widow, died Sept. 10, 1838, aged 67; his third was Mrs.
Phebe Rich, widow of Peter Rich, and his fourth, the widow of Lyman
Noble.

I have been searching for information on Jesse Wilcox of Avon, CT trying to find who his parents are.
My ancestress, Lucina/Lucinda Wilcox (dau of Jesse Wilcox & Jerusha ____) was born 9 Dec 1800 and d. 23 Dec 1867 Avon, CT. Her lst husband _____ Richards (poss. George, son of Pelatiah Richards, SR) d. ca 1825. Lucinda (Wilcox) Richards then returned to Avon, CT. with son James Richards.She m/2 6 Feb 1828 to Asaph Hart b. 1799 Avon, CT.

Lucinda had a daughter Mary Hart b. 1834 and d. 1837. Sometime around this time Asaph Hart deserted her. Lucinda is buried in the West Avon, CT. cemetery and her mother, Jerusha Wilcox is buried next to her having died 13 Jun 1808 at Avon, CT when Lucinda would have been only 8 years old. I believe my Jesse Wilcox to be the one whose will is dated 27 Sept 1843 with distribution made 22 Feb 1845 as My gr-grandfather James Richards is mentioned in this will. Other beneficiaries listed were Julia L. Richards; Nancy Hosford of Canton, CT; Seth Willcox of the State of New York; Maria Willcox of the State of New York; Juliette Reynolds of the State of New York; and Samuel Clyde.
Would love to hear from you if you know anything about this family........... Thanks, Marge in CT

I was happy to hear from you concerning Jesse Wilcox of Avon, CT. I don't know why you feel confused.
I guess I have come to the conclusion that there were 2 Jesse Wilcox's living in Avon, CT. at the same time. This is what is making it so confusing.

As I stated I have copied the distribution of the estate of Jesse Wilcox dated 22 Feb 1845. In it he names James Richards, my gr-grandfather, as a benificiery. I also copied the pages from "John Wilcox of Hartford, CT and his Descendants" by Johnston. He is as confused as we are.

I also found a reference to a Jesse Wilcox B. ca 1769; baptized 14 Apr 11773 at Amenia, Dutchess County, NY. It gives his spouse as Zephora Wetmore
(More Confusion) and his parents as Jehiel Willcox & Deborah.

Then I have another will for a Jesse Wilcox dated 15 Aug 1832

Then I have a probate record dated 20 Sept 1843 in which all persons who claimed that Jesse Wilcox owed them money were listed.
Who should be last on the list but Asaph Hart

the second husband of Lucinda (Wilcox) (Richards) Hart. He claimed that Jesse Wilcox owed him thirty pounds. So with the mention of Asaph Hart and also James Richards I'm sure that the Jesse Wilcox who died 1843 is my Jesse and not the Jesse who married 3 times and was son of Josiah Wilcox & Elizabeth Curtis. If you need copies of these documents send me your snail-mail privately and I will mail them to you. By the way, "Wilcoxson-Wilcox, Webb and Meigs Families" by Reynold Webb Wilcox gives the line of Hiel/Jehiel Wilcox and lists his children but follows only the oldest son, Nathaniel. Keep in touch and remember that there were two Jesse Wilcox living in Avon, CT at the same time. Marge in CT

It lists Jesse Wilcox born c 1757 Farmington, CT..married (1) Rhoda Andrews 16 Dec 1788 (2) Comfort (Mix) Beck. Rhoda was the daughter of Eli Andrews and Johanna Thompson. Jesse had two children (according to Johnston) Sophia born 1791 and Lucina born 1800. Lucina married (1) ______ Richards
(2)Asaph Hart 1828.

This Jesse was the son of Josiah Wilcox 1717-1776 and Elizabeth Curtiss. Jesse left CT and went to Granville, MA.

Then I checked out IGI at www.familysearch.org. They have numerous listings for Jesse.
Jesse married Comfort PECK 5 Feb 1794 Farmington-avon, CT
Jesse married Comfort MIX c 1795 Avon, CT
Jesse married Rhoda Andruss 16 Dec 1788 Berlin, CT
Jesse b Dec 1758 Hartford..died 6 Nov 1836 s/o Josiah Wilcox and Elizabeth Curtiss.

I have more on Josiah and so does IGI. Check them out and if there's anything else I can help with let me know. I'd really like to know where Jerusha fits into all of this.

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.

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.

The surname Whiting (WhiWHITING ton) is derived from a place
name and has been in use in England since the earliest adoption of surnames there. Roger Witen is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1085). Alan de Witting is mentioned on the rolls of Yorkshire in 1119 and 1150; Hugo Witeing was of Dorsetshire in 1202; Everard de Witting, of Yorkshire in 1195; Giffardo Witeng, of Somersetshire, in 1214; Willus de Wilton, of Yorkshire. 1216; Thomas de Whitene, of Nottinghamshire, in 1276; Wills Whithingh, of Oxfordshire, in 1300.
The Whitings have several coats-of-arms, but that in use by the family of this sketch at the time of the emigration and afterward is described: Azure a leopard's face or between two flaunches ermine in chief three plates. Crest: A demi-eagle displayed with two heads proper.
(I) Major William Whiting, the immigrant ancestor, held an enviable position among the early settlers of Hartford, Connecticut. At some time between 1631 and 1633 he became one of the purchasers of the Piscataqua grants of the Bristol men. He was associated with Lords Say and Brooke and George Wyllys. They continued Thomas Wiggin as their agent. He retained his interests in Maine until his death. 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.'" In 1642 he was chosen one of the magistrates; in 1641 treasurer of the colony of Connecticut, an office he held the rest of his life. "In 1646 a plot was laid by Sequasson, Sachem of the Naticks, to kill Governor Haynes and Hopkins and Mr. W:hiting on account of the just and faithful protection which these gentlemen had afforded L'ncas. The plot was disclosed by a friendly Indian and the danger averted." He bore the title of Major as early as 1647.

William Whiting, Warsaw
In the pioneer section of Warsaw Village cemetery there remains
a marble slab to William Whiting, born at Hartford, Conn, in ",1758s>
who died at Warsaw, March 22, I8I4.9, aged 90 years. The Wyoming
County Mirror, recording his death, stated that at the commencement
of the Revolution he lived in Connecticut, near Hartford. In 1776,
he went to New York in the militia company of Lt. George Kellogg and
Col. Chester. In April 1777> he enlisted for three years and served
under Capt. Elisha Kimball, Col. John Chandler and Col. Joseph Hoit.
He was in the battles of Germantown, Ft. Mifflin and Monmouth.
During 1781 and 1782, he was in the team service under Capt; John
Waters, Conductor of Teams.
After the Revolution, he removed with several children to Granville, N.Y., then to Hampton and from there to Warsaw in 1821. He
was an honorable man and retained his faculties up to near the end
and the time of his death. He was a member of the Baptist Church.
His wife, the mother of his children, was Abigail Flower, who died
Aug. 25, 1832, aged 73 years. One of his sons, Nathan Whiting, and
a brother-in-law, Col. Chauncey Sheldon,were among the Americans who
joined the Canadian patriots in 1837» were captured and banished by

the British Government to Van Dieman's Land. They were pardoned and

returned to the United States some few years before the father's
death. DAR application papers state that Mr. Whiting saw three years
Revolutionary service as Private under Capt. Nehemiah Rice in Col.
Chandler's 8th Connecticut Regt. In I8l8, he apnlied for a pension
which was allowed. After his first wife's death, the old veteran
married three more times; his second wife, Lucinda Whiting, his
brother's widow, died Sept. 10, 1838, aged 67; his third was Mrs.
Phebe Rich, widow of Peter Rich, and his fourth, the widow of Lyman

Delilah Barber1

Dr. Barber lists four children of Delilah with dates after her death; probably children of Roxanna. Since the first two children are listed with no birth dates, it is still a question as to who their mother is, but seems likely to assign them to Delilah. Delilah Barber was born in 1797. She was the daughter of Job Barber and Lola Mills. Delilah Barber married Erastus Whiting. Delilah Barber died on 13 October 1833.

ELISHA WHITING, Jr. & SALLY HULET WHITING HISTORY:[Compiled from the collected writings of Martha Whiting Brown, Ruth Brown Lewis, other family writings, and historical writings as noted in text.]by Louine B. Hunter [1997 revision]


E lisha's father, Elisha, was born November 21, 1762, at Hartford Connecticut. He married Susannah Butler March 25, 1784, at West Hartford.

Elisha was a sea captain. He DESERTED his wife and children. We have the DIVORCE PAPERS.
13. Hartford probates (nothing for Elisha Whiting or Susanna his wife)
note: None of these children were christened while the father was living (or at home) and only the third was christened at all (in Hartford). The family history states that "after the death of the father, the mother apprenticed out the son to an old Quaker, from whom he ran away. The 7190 census of Connecticut does not list either Elisha or susanna as head of a family. No record of his death has been found. susannah married again in 1796 and removed to New York ( could there have been a divorce, or Elisha left home?) In August 1786 Elisha "formerly of Farmington, now of Hartford" for bad husbandry and mismanagement was taken under the care of the Selectmen of Farmington, but was released when he moved to Hartford.

! Noted in Baltimore, Maryland marriages: Elisha Whiting and Sarah Tidy 3 Jan 1791: Who is he?
!14. Records of Northampton, New York (Received by correspondence 22Jun1965)
Nothing on Reuben Simmons in land records and no other information in probates.
!15. 1790 census of Connecticut: No Elisha Whiting Reuben Simmons in Simsbury, 3 male over 16 2 females
!None of these children were christened while the father was living (or at home) and only the third was christened at all (in Hartford). The family history states that "after the death of the father, the mother apprenticed out the son to an old Quaker, from whom he ran away. The 1790 census of Conn. does not list either Elisha or Susanna as head of a family. No record of this death has been found.

Susannah married again in 1796 and removed to New York (could there have been a divorce, or Elisha left home?)

In August 1786 Elisha "formerly of Farmington, now of Hartford" for bad husbandry and mismanagement was taken under the care of the Selectmen of Farmington, but was released when he moved to Hartford.

Noted in Baltimore, Maryland marriages: Elisha Whiting and Sarah Tidy 3 Jan 1791 (who is he?);
He left his wife alone to care for their three small children in Hartford. Elisha Jr. had two younger sisters, Polly and Susannah. EDITOR'S NOTE: Although we do not have a death date for Elisha Sr., we know he died at a young age, probably around age 28, and near the year 1790. Their last child was born about 1789, and Susannah married her second husband, Reuben Simmons on May 1, 1796, indicating that Elisha and Susannah were married far less than twelve years, and probably closer to six years.


Revo lutionary War Records, Connecticut, page 541: "Elisha Whiting,[Sr.] Private in Captain Ozias Bissell's Company." His birth date is listed as November 21, 1762. The war was fought between 1775 and 1783, indicating that Elisha was somewhere between thirteen and twenty one while serving in the Revolutionary War.


ELISHA JR'S EARLY YEARS Without her husband's income, Susannah was very poor. Not knowing what else to do, she eventually bound Elisha out to an old Quaker to learn the carpentry trade. Though Elisha worked hard, the Quaker was very mean to him, sometimes hitting him and doing other cruel things.


Elisha was very unhappy. He was resentful of his mother and to all concerned that such a thing had happened to him. He never got over those feelings and his children and grandchildren knew that his lips were sealed so far as any experiences of his youth were concerned.


Cordelia Perry, his granddaughter, told Martha Whiting Brown the following: His feelings were so badly hurt that he never wanted to speak of it. One day at his chair and wagon shop in Manti, Ohio, a stranger came in and brought up the subject of being a relative from his early days. Elisha flew into a rage and refused to listen to him, then ordered him to leave his shop at once.


So we, his children's children, will never know, I guess, just what he went through, being sent from home by his mother, after his father's DESERTION. They say he was bitter about it until the day he died.


ELISH A MEETS SALLY Although he was afraid of the old Quaker, Elisha ran away to make his own way in the world. He went to Lee, Massachusetts, where he met Sylvanus Hulet, a wheelwright (one who makes repairs of wheels and wheeled vehicles) who lived on a farm. Elisha asked Sylvanus for a job, assuring him that he could do carpentry work and make chairs and furniture, so he was hired.


Ther e he met Sylvanus' daughter, Sally, a real pretty girl, the oldest of the seven Hulet children. She was part Indian and had dark hair and dark eyes. Elisha soon fell in love with Sally who was not quite seventeen years old; he was not yet twenty.


They were married September 18, 1805. Lee, Massachusetts was their first home, where their first four children were born. It was a sad day when their first baby died the same day it was born in 1806. A year later William was born, followed the next year by Edwin, their third child. Two and a half years later Charles was born. The next two children, Catherine, 3 Oct 1813, and Harriet, 16 Aug 1815, were born in their second place of residence.


NELSON, PORTAGE, OHIO, 1817 When little Edwin was six, the family traveled over the Mohawk Trail to Nelson, Ohio, which was then the western frontier, probably the very place Elisha wished to be to get suitable timber for his carpentry trade, to support his growing family.


Eli sha built a log cabin on a quiet sloping hill that looked out over the valley. He built an open fireplace where Sally cooked. An iron crane protruded from the side where Sally would hang a kettle from the crane and push it back over the fire. When she wanted to bake bread, she put the dough inside the kettle and put red hot coals on the flat top.


Around the room were beds, a table and a cupboard. After all, her husband was a carpenter who learned to do beautiful work while he was with the old Quaker. He made a handsome black walnut bureau for Sally that she was very proud of. The girls slept in a trundle bed that was pulled out from under their parent's bed. They soon built another section onto their log cabin. One side they lived in; the other side was a wagon and carpentry shop At night they lit tallow candles and burned knots from pine trees in the fireplace while they told stories.


The last six of their twelve children were born in Nelson, Portage, Ohio: Emeline, Chauncy, Almon, Jane, Sylvester, and Lewis. Their education was limited, but they were all taught "the three R's: Readin', Ritin', and Rithmetic." We are told that Sally Hulet Whiting was a wonderful woman and that she was very gifted in writing prose and poetry, a characteristic bequeathed to many of her Whiting descendants. Sally and Elisha were some of the most respected citizens of Nelson. They were honest, generous, and firm in their convictions.


THREE STORIES ABOUT CATHERINE Catherine was the fourth child of Sally and Elisha. Catherine spent a lot of time with her relatives, especially her grandmother, Mary Lewis Hulet, and her aunts and cousins.


A TRIP THROUGH THE WOODS One day Catherine went to visit her aunt who sent her on an errand to borrow a pattern from a friend who lived about a mile away, straight through the woods. She knew she wouldn't get lost, but it was kind of scary to go into the woods alone. She wanted to please her aunt so she tied on her sunbonnet and began her errand. As she went along she saw some snakes, but she was used to them, they did not frighten her. She saw plenty of rabbits and squirrels and other little animals. The forest was beautiful and interesting and she was having a good time.


She soon reached the aunt's house, got the pattern from her and started back. When she was almost home she saw a big, black bear. Upon seeing Catherine, the bear rose to his hind feet! Catherine was nearly paralyzed with fear, so frightened that she could not move. After the bear watched her for a little while it dropped down on all fours and lumbered away with a growl. She ran the rest of the way home.


THE CHIEF'S SON Sometimes the Indians came to see the people. When Catherine Whiting was a little girl, an Indian chief came with his little son. He had shining black eyes, copper colored skin, and his father was very proud of him. Because the father was a chief, both were dressed in colorful beads, earrings, brooches, and elaborate clothes.The chief thought Catherine was so cute that he told her he would give her one of his brooches if she would kiss his little son. She really wanted that brooch, but she did not want to kiss the boy. The chief was quite offended; he thought she should be very proud to kiss his son, but she would not kiss him.


After the Indians went away, Sally, Catherine's mother, was afraid they might come back and do some harm, but they never did.


BEDTIM E FRIGHT One evening while their father (Elisha) was away, the family sat around the fire talking. Catherine became sleepy but she did not want to take a candle up the stairs, so she went up in the dark and got ready for bed. She put her hand down to turn the covers back and felt a big, hairy head. "Oh!" she screamed, and fled down the stairs crying, "There's a man sleeping in my bed!"


Her mother was alarmed but bravely flew into action. She took a broom in one hand and a candle in the other and dashed up the stairs, followed by her boys who held clubs at the ready. They all rushed into the room to find out WHO WAS SLEEPING IN CATHERINE'S BED?, just like the "Three Bears and Goldilocks".


When they held up the candle, they saw their old dog, Paint, under the covers. The boys laughed and teased Catherine!


EDWIN AND THE GUN In the Whiting family, no one was allowed to hunt on the Sabbath. One Sunday morning Edwin decided he wanted to go hunting, so he tried to sneak his gun out of the house by drawing it through a crack between the logs. The gun got caught, fired, and wounded his left arm. That was a lesson to keep the Sabbath day holy that he never forgot. He retold this story to his children and grandchildren many times.

I have been searching for information on Jesse Wilcox of Avon, CT trying to find who his parents are.
My ancestress, Lucina/Lucinda Wilcox (dau of Jesse Wilcox & Jerusha ____) was born 9 Dec 1800 and d. 23 Dec 1867 Avon, CT. Her lst husband _____ Richards (poss. George, son of Pelatiah Richards, SR) d. ca 1825. Lucinda (Wilcox) Richards then returned to Avon, CT. with son James Richards.She m/2 6 Feb 1828 to Asaph Hart b. 1799 Avon, CT.
Lucinda had a daughter Mary Hart b. 1834 and d. 1837. Sometime around this time Asaph Hart deserted her. Lucinda is buried in the West Avon, CT. cemetery and her mother, Jerusha Wilcox is buried next to her having died 13 Jun 1808 at Avon, CT when Lucinda would have been only 8 years old. I believe my Jesse Wilcox to be the one whose will is dated 27 Sept 1843 with distribution made 22 Feb 1845 as My gr-grandfather James Richards is mentioned in this will. Other beneficiaries listed were Julia L. Richards; Nancy Hosford of Canton, CT; Seth Willcox of the State of New York; Maria Willcox of the State of New York; Juliette Reynolds of the State of New York; and Samuel Clyde.
Would love to hear from you if you know anything about this family........... Thanks, Marge in CT

I was happy to hear from you concerning Jesse Wilcox of Avon, CT. I don't know why you feel confused. I guess I have come to the conclusion that there were 2 Jesse Wilcox's living in Avon, CT. at the same time. This is what is making it so confusing. As I stated I have copied the distribution of the estate of Jesse Wilcox dated 22 Feb 1845. In it he names James Richards, my gr-grandfather, as a benificiery. I also copied the pages from "John Wilcox of Hartford, CT and his Descendants" by Johnston. He is as confused as we are. I also found a reference to a Jesse Wilcox B. ca 1769; baptized 14 Apr 11773 at Amenia, Dutchess County, NY. It gives his spouse as Zephora Wetmore
(More Confusion) and his parents as Jehiel Willcox & Deborah.
Then I have another will for a Jesse Wilcox dated 15 Aug 1832
Then I have a probate record dated 20 Sept 1843 in which all persons who claimed that Jesse Wilcox owed them money were listed. Who should be last on the list but Asaph Hart
the second husband of Lucinda (Wilcox) (Richards) Hart. He claimed that Jesse Wilcox owed him thirty pounds. So with the mention of Asaph Hart and also James Richards I'm sure that the Jesse Wilcox who died 1843 is my Jesse and not the
Jesse who married 3 times and was son of Josiah Wilcox & Elizabeth Curtis. If you need copies of these documents send me your snail-mail privately and I will mail them to you. By the way, "Wilcoxson-Wilcox, Webb and Meigs Families" by Reynold Webb Wilcox gives the line of Hiel/Jehiel Wilcox and lists his children but follows only the oldest son, Nathaniel. Keep in touch and remember that there were two Jesse Wilcox living in Avon, CT at the same time. Marge in CT

Hi Marge,
This is a bit confusing. I have a family group sheet with info copied from "Your Ancestors" by Harry Ferris Johnston.
It lists Jesse Wilcox born c 1757 Farmington, CT..married (1) Rhoda Andrews 16 Dec 1788 (2) Comfort (Mix) Beck. Rhoda was the daughter of Eli Andrews and Johanna Thompson. Jesse had two children (according to Johnston) Sophia born 1791 and Lucina born 1800. Lucina married (1) ______ Richards
(2)Asaph Hart 1828.

This Jesse was the son of Josiah Wilcox 1717-1776 and Elizabeth Curtiss. Jesse left CT and went to Granville, MA.

Then I checked out IGI at www.familysearch.org. They have numerous listings for Jesse.
Jesse married Comfort PECK 5 Feb 1794 Farmington-avon, CT
Jesse married Comfort MIX c 1795 Avon, CT
Jesse married Rhoda Andruss 16 Dec 1788 Berlin, CT
Jesse b Dec 1758 Hartford..died 6 Nov 1836 s/o Josiah Wilcox and Elizabeth Curtiss.

I have more on Josiah and so does IGI. Check them out and if there's anything else I can help with let me know. I'd really like to know where Jerusha fits into all of this.

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.
