WHITTEMORE, THOMAS, resided in Chs. on the Malden side, near Chelsea, where he died 25 May 1661. In his will, dated 8 Feb. 1660-61, he bestows legaeies on w. Hannah (who afterwards m. Benjamin Butterfield of Chelms- ford, and was living in 1680), and ten children, viz .: " eldest son Thomas, being now in England and hath his portion there by gift"; Daniel ; Nathaniel ; John ; Elizabeth ; and " my five youngest, Benjamin, Thomas, Samuel, Pelatiah, and Abraham." These children were probably born between 1633 and 1656; Daniel was 48 years old at his death in 1683, prob. b. 1635, and Abraham was 35 at his death in 1690, prob. b. 1655; Elizabeth m. Hopestill Foster Oct. 1670; Pelatiah d. unm. 1678; Abraham, d. unm. 14 Jan. 1690-91, a. 35. THOMAS'the f. probably res. in England until about 1650, and left his oldest son there. After his emigration, he gave the same name to another son; and at the time of his death had two sons bearing his own name, one in each Eng- land.
2. DANIEL, s. of Thomas (1), m. Mary Mellins 7 Mar. 1662, and had Daniel, b. 27 Ap. 1663, res. in Malden, had eight ehil., and d. 21 Sept. 1756, a. 93; John, b. 12 Feb. 1664; Thomas, b. 5 Mar. 1667; Mary, b. 15 Feb. 1668-9 ; Nathaniel, b. 7 Feb. 1670-71.

3. NATHANIEL, s. of Thomas (1), by w. Mary, had Mary, b. 26 Ap. 1668; Nathaniel, b. 26 Sept. 1670. NATHANIEL the f. d. at Malden 1671, a. 33.
4. JOHN, s. of Thomas (1), m. Mary, dau. of Deae. John Upham of Malden about 1661; she d. 27 June 1677, and he m. Mary Miller of Chs. 8 Nov. 1677. His chil., all b. in Chs., were John, b. about 1662; Thomas, b. 1 Sept. 1664; Joseph, b. 29 Jan. 1666-7; Benjamin, b. 1 Sept. 1669; Elizabeth, b. about 1671; Nathaniel, b. 9 Mar. 1673; Joel, b. about 1675, d. 27 Ap. 1676; Joel, b. 15 June 1677; Mary, b. 24 Oet. 1678, d. young; Pelatiah, b. 7 May 1680; Amos, b. 25 July 1681; Mary, b. 26 Sept. 1683 ; Daniel, b. 28 Dec. 1685, d. 27 Mar. 1686; Rebecca, b. 3 Mar. 1686-7, living unm. 1752; Hannah, b. 10 Feb. 1688-9. JOHN the f. was a wheelwright, and resided in Chs. until near the close of life, when he removed to Menotomy, having leased a farm of Lieut .- gov. Dan- forth, and d. there 8 Dec. 1694, a. about 54. Thirteen children survived him. On the settlement of his estate in 1695, a house with about ten aeres in Chs. was assigned to his son Thomas, and the unexpired lease of Lieut .- gov. Dan- forth's farm to Thomas and Nathaniel.
5. BENJAMIN, S. of Thomas (1), may have res. here in his younger days. Under date of 8 Jan. 1665-6, it is recorded that, " Benjamin Whittemore, for pulling down a beneh of a seat in the meeting house, is fined five shillings; and the Constables are to require the beneh of him, and set it up again." No

reeord is found of his family; he was prob. the same who died at Malden, 1726, and devised his estate by will, dated 22 Dee. 1725, to his grandehildren, Benjamin Faulkner (who was to provide for the testator and his wife during life), Hannah Durant, Elizabeth Pilet of Boston, Mary Linnex of Boston, and Hannah Johnson of Boston.
6. THOMAS, s. of Thomas (1), and the younger of that name, m. Elizabetlı Peiree of Woburn 9 Nov. 1666, and had Thomas, b. 14 Aug. 1667. THOMAS the f. was a blacksmith, and resided at Woburn, where he d. and his wife Elizabeth was appointed administratrix 5 Ap. 1670.
7. SAMUEL, s. of Thomas (1), by w. Hannah, had at Dover, N. H., Samuel, b. 24 Oet. 1672, d. 31 Jan. 1693-4; and at Chs., Hannah, b. 16 Dec. 1676; Elizabeth, b. 15 June 1679, m. - Clark, living in 1723; Sarah, b. 16 Jan. 1681-2, m. David Lawrenee 3 Feb. 1700-1, and res. at Norton; Mary, b. 9 Sept. 1684, m. - Smith, living in 1726; Abigail, b. 31 Jan. 1687-8, m. Eleazar Parker of Norton; Susanna, b. 17 Oet. 1690, d. 25 June 1694; Thomas, b. 23 Sept. 1693, d. 28 Jan. 1693-4; Samuel, b. (after the deeease of his oldest brother) 27 July 1696. SAMUEL the f. was a farmer, and after a short resi- denee in Dover, N. H., settled upon a farm in the southwesterly part of Chs., now Somerville, on the road leading from Winter Hill to Arlington. He d. 15 Sept. 1726, a. 79; his w. Hannah d. May 1728, a. 76. Both were buried in Cambridge. Harris (Epitaphs, p. 73) erroneously ealls this Samuel Whitte- more a son of Franeis Whitmore.
8. THOMAS, s. of John (4), ni. Mary, wid. of Capt. Samuel Pease of Bos- ton (See Gen. Reg., ii. 393), and had Thomas, b. 4 Nov. 1694; Francis, b. 5 Sept. 1696; Samuel, b. 22 Sept. 1698; Mary, b. 4 Sept. 1700; Daniel, b. 22 Feb. 1701-2; Hannah ; Ephraim; Sarah. All these children were baptized together, 29 May 1709. THOMAS the f. resided at Menot., a part of his estate, described in the inventory, consisted of " a lease parol, under Mr. Whiting, minister, Coneord." This doubtless refers to the farm leased to the father of Thomas by Lieut .- gov. Danforth, of whom Mr. Whiting was one of the devi- sees. He d. about 1717, and his w. Mary administered 23 Sept. 1717; she was living, 9 Sept. 1727, and petitioned for an allowanee on aeeount of her taking eare of her grandson, Thomas Whittemore, the only heir of her deceased husband. I think Hudson mistakes in supposing this THOMAS (the f.) to be son of Franeis Whitmore.
9. JOSEPH, s. of John (4), m. Joanna Mousall; she d. 28 Oet. 1691, and he m. Susanna - His ehil. were Joseph, b. 22 Feb. 1689; Joanna, b. 27 Oet. 1691, m. Edward Miller 2 Nov. 1715; Jabez, b. 30 Jan. 1695, resided at Marshfield and at Chs., where he d. 12 May 1772, leaving posterity; Susanna, b. 11 Ap. 1697; Huldah, b. about 1699, m. Ebenezer Kent 25 Dee. 1728, and d. 25 Feb. 1730-31; Abiel, b. 6 Aug. 1701, m. Riehard Sprague 25 Dee. 1722. JOSEPH the f. resided in Chs., was a Captain, somewhat engaged in publie business, and late in life became an attorney. By the Records of Middlesex it appears that in Aug. 1719 " Capt. Joseph Whittemore, upon his motion to the Court, was admitted and sworn before the Court to the office of an attor- ney." Apparently, however, he derived not mueh peeuniary advantage from his honorable offiees, for he d. insolvent in 1746; his w. Susanna survived.
10. BENJAMIN, s. of John (4), m. Esther Brooks of Coneord about 1692, and had Benjamin, b. about 1696; Nathaniel ; Aaron, b. 13 Dec. 1711, grad. H. C. 1734, ordained at Pembroke, N.

BENJAMIN the f. res. in Concord, was a promi- nent eitizen, Seleetman, and several years Representative. He d. 8 Sept. 1734; his w. Esther d. 1742.
11. NATHANIEL, s. of John (4), m. Sarah, dau. of Deae. William French of Billeriea, and had Thomas, b. 25 Sept. 1718 ; Jacob, b. 3 Mar. 1721-2; Sarah, bap. 4 Ap. 1724, d. 15 Aug. 1734 ; Abigail, b. 8 Dee. 1725 ; John, b. 21 Aug. 1727; Nathaniel, b. 26 June 1729. NATHANIEL the f. resided at Lex., was styled a physician, and was an almanae maker. He d. about 1754, and a seeond w., Abigail, survived.

Thomas Cut- ter 19 July 1757; Mary, b. 6 May 1741, m. Stephen Whitmore of Medford 14 July 1763. SAMUEL the f. was a farmer, and inherited the homestead, which he exchanged with Joseph Russell about 1730 for an estate in Menot., situated on the Main Street, adjoining Alewife or Menotomy River. Both in body and mind he was a sturdy, energetic man. He was Selectman sixteen years between 1743 and 1762, and served on various important committees, espe- cially during the Revolution ; he was Captain of Dragoons in his early days, and in old age his military spirit was not quenched.
