which descendent of James Whiting b. 1624
I have a 3rd great grandfather named Elijah Whiting b. abt 1810 in Ohio who received a Land Grant in Arkansas in 1822 for his brother and only heir at law of Walter Whiting deceased. Walter Whiting who fought in The War of 1812, sgt. major 9th reg. infantry; company commanded by Capt. A.F.Hull. In Records of Men Enlisted in The U.S. Army Prior To The Peace Establishment, May 17, 1815 - page 498 - Walter Whiting is shown as born in Hingham, Plymouth Co., Mass., age 28 in 1812 which is abt. 1784.
The Hingham, MA location connects the brothers to the James Whiting/Whiton b.1624 lineage of Whitings.
Since Walter was born in Hingham, MA in abt. 1784 and his brother Elijah was born in Ohio in abt. 1810, does anyone know which descendent ofJames Whiting b. 1624 of Hingham migrated to Ohio about the turn 19th century?
