Memoir of John Whitman and His Descendants
Ezekiel Whitman
pg 35-36
4 John Whitman, brother of the preceding Thomas, Jacob and Zecheriah, married the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Foster of Stafford, Conn. And settled, at first, in Stow ; and remained there till 1761 ; when he removed, with his numerous family, to Annapolis (Nova Scotia); to which place he was, doubtless, allured by the proclamations, issued by the Governor of that Province, inviting settlers from New-England to remove there, and become the owners of the fine farms, from which the French settlers had then recently been removed. He carried with him considerable property ; and laid the foundation there for a handsome establishment ; but was cut off in 1763, aet. 45; and left his widow, with a family of eleven children, all under fifteen years of age. This was, to them, truly an afflicting dispensationrsituated as they were, in a strange land, and remote from all their connexions. The widow, however, would seem to have been of a superior cast of intellect, and of no ordinary share of resolution. She kept her family together there, and nurtured and educated her children; and lived to see nine of them, two having died young, eligibly and comfortably established in the world ; and, for many years, to enjoy the remuneration of her toil, perplexity and solicitude in their dutiful gratitude, love and veneration. She died in 1812, set. 85. Her husband was respectable ; and deacon of the church before his removal; and, had he lived, might have been a prominent character in Nova Scotia. His children were
Dorcas, born in 1749,
Daniel, in 1750,
Hannah, in 1751,
Edward, in 1752,
John, in 1753,
Salome, in 1755,
Elnathan, in 1756,
Jacob, in 1757,
Isaac, in 1758,
Abraham, in 1761,
and Mary, in 1763.
Two of these died young. The rest have married, and had large families. Six of them, viz. John, Daniel, Jacob, Abraham, Hannah and Salome, are still living in Nova Scotia ; and John is a well educated, and respectable magistrate at Annapolis. His children are Elnathan, James, Alfred, Letitia, Mariah and Dorinda ; all married except the last.
