Correspondence
I recently wrote an email to a NC Historian:
Mr. Anthony,
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.

George Mordecai Whiting Search
On my second google search I discovered this manuscript about a family of Whitings:
One Lineage of William Whiting of Suffolk, England, 1600 to 1996
by
Steven Whiting Hatch
swhatch@flash.net
April 1996
I am the great-grandson of Lillie F. Whiting. She was born about 1845 in Raleigh, North Carolina, had six children, and died in 1892. I have traced my Whiting lineage back ten generations to William Whiting [~1600-1647], an early settler of Hartford, Connecticut. The story of William Whiting and the few generations immediately after him are fairly well documented in publications on early Connecticut settlers and history. More recent information (after 1800) on the Whitings was somewhat harder to obtain. My primary sources were U.S. census data, probate records, and registered land transactions.
In Suffolk Emigrants1, Joseph Hunter writes that the Whiting family came from Suffolk County, England in the vicinity of Basford. Mormon ancestral records list William Whiting, son of John, as being born around 1600. William Whiting's connection with the American colonies is recorded as early as 1632 when he and others in England bought land there. He immigrated by 1636 and was one of the first settlers of Hartford, Connecticut. Frequently mentioned in Goodwin's Genealogical Notes,2 he is called one of the "civil and religious Fathers of Connecticut" and is styled in the records as "William Whiting, Gentleman." William Whiting served as Treasurer of the Colony from 1641 to 1647, and was chosen as Magistrate in 16422.
Several sources report that William Whiting bore the title of Major when he died in July of 1647. In his will, he mentions his wife Susannah, sons William, John, Samuel, and Joseph and daughters Sarah and Mary. Refer to Attachment 1. William Whiting died as a man of means; his estate inventory was taken on 20 April, 1647 and was worth ,,2854.00, a great sum at that time. He showed his generosity by leaving twenty pounds to the church, five pounds towards the mending of the highways between his home and the Meeting House, and five more to "some godly poore in the Town."
The Reverend John Whiting, second son of William Whiting, was born in London, England, in 1635, graduated in 1653 from Harvard College, and preached several years in Salem, Massachusetts2,3. In 1660 he moved with his family "from the Bay" to Hartford, CT where he was ordained at the First Congregational Church. Reverend John Whiting married twice; first to Sybil Collins with whom he had seven children and then in 1673 to Phebe Gregson with whom he had seven additional children. He also had the distinction of serving the Hartford forces as chaplain in King Philip's War3. Reverend John Whiting died on 8 September, 1689 in Hartford.
The Reverend Samuel Whiting was the seventh child of the Reverend John and Sybil Collins Whiting2. He received his early education from his father and went on to become the first minister of Windham, CT. The life and ministry of Samuel Whiting is described in a book published by the town of Windham in celebration of its bicentennial in 18934. The book describes Windham's first century during which the Whitings were a prominent family. Reverend Whiting "was a man of uncommon fervor in the pulpit, who mingled greatly with the people in their everyday transactions and who had large interests in real estate."4 His wife was Elizabeth Adams and her mother was Alice Bradford, granddaughter of Governor William Bradford of the Mayflower. Refer to Attachment 2 for this lineage.
In a chapter of the Windham bicentennial book called "Hearsay" there is an anecdote about a mistake the Reverend made shortly after his arrival in the Colony. Two families named Mason had both met with a loss at the same time, but of much different character. One had lost an old family horse and the other a husband and father. Mr. Whiting knew of the death of the man but not of the horse. The story then describes in much detail the misunderstanding that arose during a conversation where Samuel consoled the wife "other" Mason family. Reverend Samuel Whiting went on to serve as Windham's pastor for thirty-three years. He died on September 27, 17252 in Enfield, CT, while on a visit to his cousin, Reverend Nathaniel Collins. A chair belonging to the Reverend was part of the Exhibition of Relics displayed during the Windham bicentennial 168 years after his death4.
Samuel and Elizabeth Adams Whiting had thirteen children. Their next to last child was Samuel who was born in Windham on May 15, 1720. Samuel fought in the French and Indian War4 and the Revolution serving as Captain of the 5th Connecticut Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel of the Continental Regiment, and Colonel of the First Battalion of Connecticut Troops5. The Revolutionary pension file for Samuel Whiting at the National Archives indicates that he received a disability pension of $15.00 a month (one-sixth of full pay). One affidavit states that "during his service in 1777, while overheated by marching and exhausted by fatigue, he caught cold by wading across a river near Norwalk, which resulted in a complication of diseases and the final loss of his right eye." Two brothers, William and John also served in the military. The Windham bicentennial book states "the family of [Reverend] Samuel Whiting was one of the religious militant families of the early town. Its members could pray or fight as occasion demanded."4
At some point, Colonel Samuel Whiting moved to Stratford, CT, and died there on 15 February, 18032. He married Elizabeth Judson in 1743 and they had ten children, six of them boys. One son, Samuel, went to Yale in 1765 and was a surgeon in the Continental Army. He was captured in Colonel Webb's expedition to Long Island in 1777 and imprisoned on the ship Jersey. Dr. Whiting received a vote of thanks from the Congress for his medical care of the prisoners after the war5. Another son, Judson Whiting, is said to have been an Ensign who died on the same prison ship2. Colonel Samuel Whiting's youngest child was Seymour Conway, born in Stratford in 17666. My lineage continues with Seymour Conway and here is where most of my own detective work began.
Seymour C. Whiting lived in Stratford his entire life. He appears there in the 1820, 1830 and 1840 census'. Agriculture is listed as his occupation in the latter one. Seymour C., as did many of the Connecticut Whitings, bought and sold real estate on a regular basis. Transactions quite often occurred between relatives. Fairfield County and Stratford land records show Seymour C. conducting business with his brothers William N. and John, his son Ezra C., and with various sons-in-law.
Seymour Conway Whiting died July 26, 1841 and is buried in the First Congregational Burial Ground in Stratford with his wife, mother, father, and one son. His will is dated April 3, 1841 and identifies his wife, Hannah, and his surviving children and grandchildren. Seymour C. Whiting outlived three of his children: Ezra C., Hannah, and Lasper. Seymour C. Whiting's grandchildren, Seymour (Webster) and Chester Gilbert Whiting, are shown as receiving their father Ezra's share of the inheritance.
Seymour C. Whiting's son, Ezra C., was born in Stratford and died there at the age of 32. He did manage to marry Mary Ann Ufford and have four sons, all of whom also died young (by our standards). Elbert I and Elbert II died as infants and Chester died at twenty-five. All are buried with Ezra and Mary Ann in the First Congregational Burial Ground in Stratford. The 1820 census lists Ezra as being in manufacturing. Ezra C. Whiting died intestate in 1824. Part of his estate inventory is shown below and offers some insight into life at that time. At the request of his wife, Mary Ann, Ezra's estate was administered by his father, Seymour C. Whiting.
Partial Inventory of Ezra C. Whiting's Estate
Item | Appraisal (in Dollars) |
One coffee mill | 1.00 |
One small trunk | .50 |
One flute | 1.00 |
One bird cage | 1.00 |
One dozen spoons | .75 |
5 bushels potatoes @ 20 cents | 1.00 |
One small bible | .50 |
60 lbs of tobacco @ 3/100 | 1.80 |
House & about one acre of land | 450.00 |
After Ezra C. Whiting's death, I believe his surviving sons Seymour Webster and Chester G. went to live with their Uncle Seymour in New York City. The boys were about nine and two, respectively, at the time. Ezra's widow, Mary Ann, moved to Bethlehem, New York for a period before going back to Stratford in the 1840s. Seymour W. Whiting moved to Raleigh, North Carolina around 1834. Seymour's brother, Chester, probably accompanied him there for a year or two before returning to Connecticut as his death there in 1847 was reported in the Raleigh Register. Seymour W. Whiting probably never returned to Stratford; his mother sold his only Connecticut land holding under a Power of Attorney to his Uncle Seymour for the sum of $1 in 1847.
Church records show that Seymour W. Whiting and his wife Hannah joined the First Presbyterian Church in Raleigh, NC, in April of 1842. The church is still in use and stands across the street from the old State Capital building. In the 1850 census, Seymour and Hannah are living in Raleigh with six children, Hannah's mother, and two of her sisters. Seymour's occupation is listed as teller in a Bank of State. Seymour died in 1855 at the age of 39. Seymour, Hannah, a daughter, and a grandson who died in World War I are buried in the Whiting family plot in Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh.
Seymour's obituary in the Raleigh Register is very flowery but contains little genealogical information. It praises his "integrity, moral rectitude, Christian piety and ardent devotion to every thing calculated to advance the prosperity of this country and the good of his fellow men...7" It does not say how he died or who survived him. It does, however, confirm that he was a native of Stratford, CT, having come to Raleigh when about eighteen. It also relates that while Seymour got his license to practice law he "devoted his attention to other pursuits of business, which secured a more certain income." The obituary suggests that he enjoyed poetry and composed well enough for it to claim that some of his works were "entitled to a place in the highest class of American Poetry." One poem of Seymour's survives which describes the loss of his daughter, Mary Stuart, at age seven.
In the 1860 census, Hannah Stuart Whiting is a widow living with seven children. George Mordecai Whiting was the oldest child at eighteen and is listed as being a druggist. Lillie and Margaret were both fifteen; Hannah and Seymour (an established family name by this time!) both eleven; Brainard was eight and Chester was six. Hannah's mother, Hannah Paddison Stuart, and a younger sister, Susan Stuart, were also living in the household. Hannah Stuart Whiting died in Newbern, NC in 1872.
George M. Whiting went on to serve as a Confederate soldier in the Civil War, receiving a field promotion to Captain during the second day of the battle at Gettysburg and falling severely wounded on the third day. His obituary says that he lay insensible on the battlefield for four additional days before being captured by Union soldiers8. He spent the remainder of the war as a prisoner on Johnson Island. While there, he contracted tuberculosis which led to his death in 1870.
In the 1870 census, Lillie F. Whiting was twenty-five years old and living "without occupation" with her sister Hannah Whiting Burgin in Buncombe County NC. By the 1880 census she had married Philo Chalmers Hall, moved to Hickory, NC, and had four children. Philo was a Civil War veteran who had served as an unassigned conscript for North Carolina and been captured by Major General Sherman's forces in Burke County in June of 1864. He spent a long year as a prisoner-of-war at Camp Douglas near Lake Michigan in northeast Illinois before taking the Oath of Allegiance to the United States and being discharged in June of 1865.
After getting married, Philo ran a general store in Hickory and harvested ice out of a local river in the winter to sell in the summer. He ran the store with a brother and other partners over the years and regularly advertised his groceries, dry goods, hardware, etc., in the local papers. The business also included a tobacco warehouse in the 1880s.
Chalmers G. Hall, the second son of Lillie and Philo, went to West Point and became a Colonel in the US Army. On September 3, 1925 he survived the wreck of the Navy dirigible Shenandoah which broke into three sections during a storm over Ohio9. Chalmers and others survived by clinging to the wreckage as it floated down some 7000 feet.
Lillie Whiting Hall died on April 12, 1892 of appendicitis in Hickory, NC. Philo lived until 1908. Both are buried in (another) Oakwood Cemetery in Hickory. Lillian Hall (my grandmother) was six at the time of her mother's death and went to live with her older sister Margaret. Margaret died during pregnancy a few years later, however, after which Lillian lived with her sister Mary and then her brother Chalmers. She lived on several Army bases out West during her stay with his family.
Lillian Hall married James Mack Hatch around 1912 in Hamlet, NC, and died in Columbia, South Carolina in 1972. I have many memories of Grandma Hatch, most of which are associated with food and the kitchen. Several of "Mom Hatch's" recipes are used regularly in my household. James Mack Hatch owned and operated a hosiery mill. He enjoyed wood working as a hobby and made furniture as well as many toys for his grandchildren. I have two pieces he made. Lillian and James had five children, two of which are still living.
My father, Donald Hatch, was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1923. During World War II he served in the Army and was stationed in the Aleutian Islands off Alaska to ward off a feared Japanese invasion. After the war he went to college on the GI Bill at Davidson in North Carolina. There he met Jean Hays Henninger, whom he courted and married in 1948. He worked for his father in the hosiery business after graduating and later had sales jobs with Parker Pen Co., Montag Stationery, and several other companies. Jean was a History major and worked as a librarian and archivist in Illinois, South Carolina, and Georgia. I attribute my own interest in genealogy and family history to my mother's influence. Those interested in additional information may contact me directly at swhatch@flash.net.
While there is an undisputable biological link between all of the individuals described in this paper there is also a link created by the use of family names which I find personally satisfying. I hope that my daughter, Maren Whiting Hatch, will feel a special kindred with her Whiting ancestors as she grows up and be prone to bestow family names upon her own children.

Our Lineage to Governor William Bradford of the Mayflower
William Bradford (1590-1657), one of the Pilgrim leaders and American colonial governor, was born in Austerfield, Yorkshire County, England. In 1606 he joined the Separatists, a dissident Protestant sect. Three years later, in search of freedom of worship, he went with them to Holland, where he became an apprentice to a silk manufacturer. Bradford sailed on the Mayflower in 1620, and after his arrival in America he helped found Plymouth Colony. In April 1621 he succeeded Governor John Carver as chief executive of Plymouth Colony. Except for five years, Bradford served as governor almost continuously from 1621 through 1656, having been reelected 30 times. In 1621 he negotiated a treaty with Massasoit, the chief of the Wampanoag tribe. Under the treaty, which was vital to the maintenance and growth of the colony, Massasoit disavowed Native American claims to the Plymouth area and pledged peace with the colonists. The first Thanksgiving Day celebration in New England was organized by Bradford in 1621. Bradford was a delegate on four occasions to the New England Confederation, of which he was twice elected president. His history Of Plimoth Plantation, 1620-1647, was published in 1856, 200 years after his death and is an important source of information about the early settlers.
