  • Notes 
    • Nathaniel WHITIN (1), the immigrant ancestor of the WHITIN family of Whitinsville, Mass. was born in 1609, in England. He is mentioned in the will of his grandfather, John SMITH, who bequeathed to his mother, Sarah (SMITH) WHITING, lands in Hoxden, Middlesex Co., England. He had a brother, Samuel WHITING, also mentioned in this will.

      Nathanie WHITING came first to Lynn as early as 1638, when he was a proprietor of that town. In the first records his name is spelled WHITING, WHYTING and WHITINGE, most of the descendants having used the form WHITING.

      He removed to Dedham a few years after he came to New England and was a proprietor there in 1640. He was admitted to the church, July 30, 1641, and was made a freeman, May 18, 1642. He died at Dedham, Jan. 15, 1682-3.

      His will was dated May 15, 1677, and proved April 19, 1683. He gave his whole estate to his wife Hannah to distribute at her discretion. The widow died Nov. 4, 1714, aged 89 years.

      He married, Nov. 4, 1643, Hannah DWIGHT, daughter of John and Hannah, of Dedham, progenitors of a famous old family.

      She came to Dedham from England with her parents and brothers John & Timothy. Her father was at Watertown in 1635, removed to Dedham, was admitted a freeman March 13, 1638-9, owned half the watermill. Nathaniel WHITING was also a miller His descendants at Whitinsville seem to have inherited their predilection for mills and machinery from both immigrant ancestors named.
