My cousin and I are still in pursuit of the parents of 3rd ggf Alanson Whiting, probably born in Massachusetts about 1788 and died in Romulus, Seneca County, NY on 9 October 1849. He married 1. Anna -?-, who died after 1 May 1841 but before say, 1846, and 2. Harriet -?-, later married to Unknown Lamb. Alanson and Anna Whiting had 8 children, 6 of whom lived to adulthood -- Giles, who married Margaret deGroat; Linus; Franklin, who married Eliza Jane Thurston; Caroline, who married James Fenton Wyckoff; Elizabeth, who married David Maynard; and Lufanny, who married Dr. Mulford
Skinner. Two children, a daughter and Alanson Jr. died young.
In the probate file for Alanson Whiting, there is a debt of $77.63 listed as due A. Whiting (marked very doubtful for collection) from an E. G. Whiting. The note was signed at Rochester July 9 1845.
Now there were many possibilities for an E. Whiting in this time period, but only one that I have found so far who consistently referred to himself as E. G. Whiting in census records. This was Ebenezer G. Whiting of Wisconsin.
He was born about 1803 in Massachusetts and married, possibly three times. The first marriage was to Helen Lynch, another to Sophia V. --?--. Helen's
parents were originally from Great Barrington, Mass.
Ebenezer was an inventor and for a time co-owned a company with J. L. Case for the manufacture of agricultural implements. Ebenezer Whiting died in Racine, Wisconsin on 5 June 1885. I have noted three possible sons from
census records -- William H., George L. and Charles D..
Is anyone on the list researching Ebenezer Gladen/Gladden Whiting? If so, please contact me if you have determined parentage for him or have any possible leads on his ancestry. It's a longshot, but there may a link to
Alanson Whiting, our ancestor.
P.S. I'd also love to hear from other researchers of the descendants of Alanson and Anna Whiting.
Thank you!
