I'm still looking - the only hints I have are that John Whitman had served in the Rev War from CT. I haven't found any documentation that he or his son are the John Whitman who married Sarah Chubbuck in NH in 1785. Another mystery is Sarah's grandmother a Bethia Whitman - she is not listed as a desc of John W of Weymouth - so possibly she is of a Wightman branch. It seems many Wightmans became Whitman as they moved west.
I'm glad to hear that there is a caretaker of Wade's work. He had emailed me a couple of times in the past while trying to work out Whitman/Wightman problems.
