Whiting Bradford Tree

This is my mother's family lineage. My great aunt Janice married to George Harris Whiting wrote this out in the 80's, I have more to add and flush out family. It is rather hard to explain how they flow together, I will do my best. I plan on filling out a digital graph at some point. This shows all the lines from our Whiting to William Bradford relationship. I am 13 generations from William Bradford and his voyage on the Mayflower and can date his family back to the 1500's and can date my Whiting linage back 12 generations to the 1720's.  I am extremely interested in more of the Whiting Family that resided in Raleigh in 1850's; the children on Seymour Webster Whiting and Hannah Mary Stuart.
The next two pages are the Whiting linage at the top of the right side of page below Col. Samuel Whiting is cut off.
The Whiting linage continues from above. William Whiting is cut off on this  page at the top right.
Elizabeth Adams (granddaughter of William Bradford) married Samuel Whiting.

This is a link to the founders of conn. archives. There is a copy of William Whiting's will in these archives. How his estate is appraised when he died is very interesting.

Letter from Shaw

I found a Letter from Henry Clay to My great great grandfather Seymour Webster Whiting
See Letter Here

Correspondence

I recently wrote an email to a NC Historian:
Mr. Anthony,
I am descendent of Seymour Webster Whiting who lived the majority of his life and raised his family in Raleigh, NC. I found your information after a simple Google search of his name. It shows that you authored an article “Seymour Webster Whiting,” in Dictionary of North Carolina Biography, Vol.6, edited by William S. Powell, 188-189. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1996.  I currently live in Raleigh and visited his plot in historic Oakwood cemetery today. I am writing to find out if you might have run across any information about where the Whiting family home would have been in Raleigh. I have a detailed document written by Seymour Webster Whiting's son (my great- great grandfather) about his memories of the Confederate and Union soldiers walking past the family home during the Civil War. I would love to be able to find any information that would point to the home's location. I would appreciate any information that you can give or point me in the right direction. 
Thank you for your time and consideration,
 
This was his response:
Ms. McLarty,
                I regret that I was not able to identify the location  of Mr. Whiting’s home in Raleigh when I wrote the brief entry on him in The Dictionary of North Carolina Biography.  He clearly was a respected and accomplished individual.
                I recall that are a few records from the settlement of his estate at the North Carolina State Archives (107 East Jones Street in Raleigh).  You might want to look at them to see if they contain any information on his residence.  You’ll want to look in the Wake County Estates Records.
                You may also want to ask the folks at the State Archives and/or the Olivia Raney Local History Library (4016 Carya Drive, Raleigh / 919-250-1196) about using deed records.  If you find a deed entry for him (via Indexes) you may be able to trace the ownership forward from his time to the present and determine the location that way.               Good luck with your research.
