WHITMAN.
The American ancestor of the Whitmans of Buckfield, Wood- stock and Turner, was John Whitman, who came from England (the vicinity of Cheshire, near scene of Gray's Elegy) before 1638 and settled at Weymouth, Mass. It appears by Winthrop's Journal that he was admitted to the rights and privileges of a citizen in December of that year. The tradition is that he left his family behind till he had selected a lot for a settlement, cleared several acres of land and built a habitation and that he brought his wife and children hither in 1641.
In 1645 he was appointed ensign in the militia and the same year, with two others, was commissioned "to end small contro- versies" in that town. He served as one of the selectmen of the town for many years. He was a deacon of the church from the time one was established in Weymouth to his death, November 13, 1692, at about 90 years of age. He left four sons and five daughters, Thomas, John, Zechariah, Abiah, Sarah, Mary, Eliz- abeth, Hannah and Judith. The oldest child was Sarah, who married Abraham Jones. They had a daughter, Sarah, who married Mordecai Lincoln of Hingham, Mass., the great-great- grandfather of Abraham Lincoln. Thomas. born in England about 1629, died in 1712. From him were descended Congress- man and Chief Justice Ezekiel Whitman, Levi Whitman, Esq., for 18 years State's attorney for Oxford County, and candidate for Congress ; Sarah, wife of Governor Albion K. Parris ; and Rev, Marcus Whitman, the missionary, to whom now the credit is given for saving to the United States the territory embraced in the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. He was mas- sacred by the Indians in 18.43.
From John, the second son of the ancestor, are descended Hosea B. Whitman, for many years one of the most prominent citizens and selectmen of Mexico, and Harry A. Whitman, shot and killed by Abner D. Thorne on Paris Hill, while he was assisting the officers in arresting Thorne for burglary.
REV. B. L. WHITMAN, former president of Colby Univer- sity, and president of Columbia University at Washington,

HISTORY OF BUCKFIELD
D. C., Rev. Charles R. Tenney, one of the leading clergy- men of the Universalist denomination in Maine, and Izah Tenney Sanborn, teacher and matron of Kings Daughters at Bangor, daughter of the late Dr. Jesse Howe of Norway, are de- scendants of Rev. Zechariah Whitman, the third son of the ancestor, who was born in Weymouth in 1044. He died in 1726.
The Buckfield and Woodstock Whitmans are descended from the fourth son of the ancestor, Abiah.
Judge Mitchell's History of Bridgewater says that more per- sons of this name in that town, in the early times, received a col- lege education, than any other. The names of a large number are given. The next most numerous were the Packards.
Abiah was the youngest son, born in 1646. He married Mary Ford. He had the homestead and administered on the estate of his father. He died in his 82d year, leaving a very large estate for those days. His wife had died in 1715. Their children mentioned in his will are John, Zechery, Abiah, Elizabeth, Lydia, Mary and Eleanor.
John was born in 1681 ; m. Ist Rebecca Manley, Mar. 25. 1713; 2d. Jean Chaplin, Sept. 4, 1750. He settled in Easton. By his first wife he had John, Terah, Rebecca, Sarah and Mary. By his second wife, Rebecca and Jacob.
