Whitmania GuestbookSpammers and pornographers entries have sadly destroyed my guestbook! I felt it held a lot of good information on the Whitman family, so I kept the entries, but now nobody can post to it. Maybe you will find your family here.

I hope you will connect to someone here.
There is a link at the bottom of the page to the
pages of the original guestbook.
The messages are sorted with the newest entries first.
I am a Whitman born and raised in Upstate NY. I stumbled on this website by accident and found it interesting...

MO USAHI,
MY FATHER WAS BORN IN NEW ALBANY NS IN 1913. I AM FAMLILIAR WITH MY RELATIVES ALL THE WAY BACK TO (1) JOHN, AND ALSO HAVE TRACED IT BACK TO HIS FATHER AND ONE MORE THAT IS KIND OF IFIY AT THIS TIME. SOME YEARS AGO CHARLES WHITMAN DID A GENEOLOGY OF THE THE ANAPOLIS VALLEY WHITMANS. I HAVE A COPY OF THIS WORK IF ANY ONE MIGHT BE INTERESTED.
THANKS FOR HAVING THIS SITE.

NJ USAJanuary 17, 2004. What a great site! Very cool! My Dad will love this! I'm an 8th generation descendant from Deacon John of Annanapolis Valley. I'm the 3rd child of George Stuart(7) & Marion Eleanor (nee Dempsey), then grandfather is Ralph Aubrey(6), Latimer Spinney(5), Isaac James(4), James(3), Edward(2) and of course, Deacon John(1). I've always been fascinated with family history, thanks so much for such an extensive site. I hope after talking and sharing this site with my Dad, that we could help fill in some spots in our personal family history and vise versa. I know my Dad has got lots of great information and probably pictures as well. My Dad grew up in Ottawa, but brought our family out west in 1976. My Aunts Ann and Evadna (plus her husband Bruce Graham) have both passed away now, but there are still 3 cousins out in California, My Auntie Eve was amongst the last of the war brides and emmigrated down to live with her husband. I can't wait to get out to Nova Scotia and peek around!! Does anyone know of any "Whitman"/"Spinney" family reunions coming up in 2004/5? Very curious! I can't wait to go root through my parent's basement again and see what old pictures match the ones on your site. The book you mention by Charles Whitman, "The Annapolis Valley Whitmans", I think my Dad might have a copy of the updated version, I'm not entirely positive. Thank you for such a wonderful site.

I entered some data on the next section. b.06Feb1919 @ Cunningham, Adams Co., Washington.My line [short] runs like this as near as I know: son of Homer; son of Adolphus; son of Elbridge; son of Joshua; son of Jacob; son of John; son of Abish; son of John Whitman of Weymouth, who arrived in America on the Truelove in c.1639/1640, following his brother Zecharia and his wife who arrived on the Truelove in 1635. Records indicate John's line increased but Zecharia's did not, due to only one child, a daughter.

CONNIE COUTURE
GREENSBORO, MD USAThis is a fantastic site. Just went through the entire 10 pages to see if anything clicked with my info. Nothing there without checking all the printouts I have. My Whitman connection begins with Ella Adeline Whitman who married George Pendlebury. He was my great-grandfather. Ella's father was Gilbert Vander Whitman, then the procession backwards is Jesse, B. 1779 on Long Island, New York. His father was Isaiah Whitman, b. 1756, Long Island, New York. Isaiah's father was Zebulon Whitman, b. 1702, Long Island, New York. His father was Zebulon Whitman, b. 1681, Long Island, New York. Zebulon's father was Joseph Whitman, b. 1640, Milford, Connecticu. Joseph's father was Zachiariah Whitman, b. abt 1600, England, and last Zachiariah Whitman, b. 1571/1581, Holt, Norfolk, England. This is all from Ancestry.com, I am searching for verification of relationships for Gilbert Vander Whitman to Jesse Whitman and beyond. I have almost worn out my printer with all the associated reports, descendency, etc. Will keep digging and be back to this site many many times. Regards, and thanks for this impressive site.

Williston, ND usaGilbert Vander Whitman m. Rebecca Brott. Their daughter, Ella Adeline Whitman m. George H. Pendlebury. Their daughter, Ethel, was my maternal grandmother. According to the many Whitman trees on the net, Jesse Whitman was the father of Gilbert Vander Whitman. I have been unable to find a positive verification of this. I know it is out there somewhere. If someone can give me a source, I would be most appreciative.
I believe this site will be very important to me in compiling my family genealogy and history. I hope to have much more than just names and dates, but background and histories that will give me a sense of how these ancestors helped build and shape this country.
Thank you so much.

I do notice however that some of the links, and pics are unavailable. I'm not sure if it might be the server I'm on or if its a problem with the web page.
I love this site. Its great. My mother and father have a framed pic of the Whitman Coat of Arms. My father also has a ring with the Whitman Coat of Arms on it, that
was made by his uncle. Actually one of the things I tried to look at was the pic of the Whitman Coat of Arms which I could not get into.

Canso, NS., CanadaI can trace back to Dr. Ccharles Whitman who m Annah Stevens on June 20, 1757. At least his intentions were filesd in the Stow Marriages. Vital Records page 221. I have tried to go back from there. About 7 years ago I went to Salt Lake to the Mormon Library. I found an enormous amount of material. The following year I went to a local library and found that the records had been changed. I had photocopied about 1,000 pages, and now can't believe that I can't use any of them for sure. But I am trying agin now.
You have such a lot of info in this record. Good hunting

Peter Bela Clark <pbclark
Vancouver , BC CanadaI am working on the Whitman line of my ancestry. George Vander Whitman was my great-great grandfather. Having found an extensive pedigree via the net I am working to confirm relationships via documentation. It is exciting. Great-great grandfather Gilbert was a third cousin once removed to Walt Whitman. Exciting because Walt Whitman is one of my very favorite poets. I have studied him and taught his poetry in high school. I also had an e-mail indicating that Abraham Lincoln is also there on the tree, haven't followed up on this yet. Documentation is extremely important to me. In researching my ancestry, I am not interested in just names, dates. I am also examining the times and areas in which they lived so that when I get to my writing, I can present real people. I am so pleased that I found your webpage.

newport, ns canadaHi PD: Your other e-mail form isn't working!
A year or so ago you suggested I look at George Whitman. I found his son Ira Whitman who probably m. my ggg gma Elsie Ross (also referred to as "Alice" Ross I think). I've never been able to find info if Esther Whitman my gg gma was really their daughter. She's not listed in Jost but there are several mistakes and contradictions in Jost so I'm still hopeful.
You mentioned that George might be German and I wanted to see if you had more info about those Whitman families and tell you that Esther Whitman (Boles) is listed in Manchester in the 1881 census as German (all her kids are listed "Irish" (Anglo-Irish) like their father). So, maybe I should look for German communities in PA!!

Sorry to gatecrash your page. I found this site whilst searching for anyone who has photographs of the recent SLIM WHITMAN FAREWELL TOUR OF THE U.K. I saw the comment from Frans van Zuiden who is another Whitman fan; one of many in the Netherlands. I hope he enjoyed the concert. Slim was in very good form in spite of back trouble.
I enjoy the subject of genealogy and its nice when people trace their relatives. I wonder if any of your contacts are related to Slim Whitman.
I am intrigued by the Whitmania title as this word was coined in the 1950s (long before Beatlemania) when Slim
Whitman fans used to bring traffic to a halt in many of our cities.
Congratulations on a very attractive and informative site.

Raleigh, NC USAMy mother was born in Canso-Mary Evelyn Francis Cohoon - Sept. 8,1900. My grandparents were John and Laura Cohoon.
My great grandparents were Moses and Margaret(Covey)Cohoon.Grandparents buried in Canso. Mother buried in North Sydney - married John Ronayne McLeod of North Sydney. My mother's sisters - Marguerita (Greta), Patricia, and twin girls who died very young - Blanche and Laura. Mother's brothers Lawlor, McKeough(named after parish priest in Canso)and Percy. Have pictures of old cable station at Hazel Hill - my grandfather worked there as did my great-grandfather. Have been to the Whitman Museum with my mother before it was a museum. I remember, if not mistaken, a circular basement with great seascapes on walls. My mother played with the Whitman's - we also visited the home of Cora Horton who was a friend of mothers when she was young. I am doing the family genealogy and am trying to find out if my great grandmother had any sisters or brothers so I can put them in my book "Through The Years" by Jean MacLeod Kelley. I love writing and have a lot of mothers poems in the book also. I am 75 years of age - live here on Cape Cod by the ocean which I absolutely love. The smell of the sea air and the lapping of the waves against the shore echo through each day and down I go to walk the beach among the sand dunes. I love it almost as much as I love Nova Scotia.

Merrill Jay Whitman jwhit
Ann Arbor, MI USAI am a big fan of Slim Whitman about age of 7 (1957) because in those days I went on sitting on the 78 rpm record "Rose Marie". I had to buy in those days a new one for my mom who's name was Maria. The records of Slim wer often played in the 50's,60's. When I grew older and went on High School,often listening to AFN Networks midwave.
My first album from Slim I did buy January 1967 "15th Anniversary",it took long to save money for buying it.

Toowoomba, qld AustraliaHave enjoyed reading "John Whitman of Weymouth" by Charles Farnam. Charles Sydney Whitman (great grandfather) married my great grandmother (Nancy DeSausure Bostick) from South Carolina after Sherman burned down the plantation and she migrated north. Based on my research, it appears that Abraham Lincoln could trace his routes back to John Whitman-the same regime that burned my grandmother's plantation!

Baltimore, MD USAMy name is Edmund Marco and it's a pleasure to sign your guest book. I work for an advertising agency in London. Our agency represents direct marketing companies that are involved in the marketing of products as seen on TV in England. Most of the infomercial products come from the U.S. but then again we export our talents as well. I think it's hilarious that English people respond so well to American products while Americans tend to respond well to sales people who have an English accent!

I am researching my husband's ancestry. Most of us through the George Whitman line are at a dead stop at Goshen (and Warwick), NY (Orange County) in the mid-1790's. After his death his wife and children migrated to Greenbrier County, VA (now WV). There are only a couple other Whitman families listed in Orange County, NY, in the 1790's census...but we have never been able to make any connections. I would LOVE to find others who have information about the Whitmans of Orange County, NY.

East Falmouth, MA USAThis is a wonderful Website and genealogical resource!
We had family stories about Whitmans that were sea captains and some remote connection to Walt Whitman the poet. That was about all we had to search with.
With the assistance of PD, we have joined our Whitmans to the other branches (not to mention the Hortons and the Jones!). We are so glad and appreciative of the help!
It's an odd yet very wonderful to see some of our family's photographs (such as the one shown for William Whitman, Assemblyman for Nova Scotia in 1904) looking out at me from the gallery page. We have a copy of the same photo!

Bristol, RI USAI've recently have found that the spelling of my ggrandfather's name, Samuel Whitnum, has been changed to 'Whitman' in many records. I know he was born in Wales and married in Worcestershire in 1846. He owned an iron factory in Manchester, so the family story goes and immigrated in 1870 to Greenpoint, NY. We have several patents that were issued to him. If anyone else is researching the 'Whitnum' name I would be happy to share information with them.

My direct line goes back to Margaret Whitman (b. 1755) who married Captain Timothy Gibson (b. 1738). They were the the great, great grandparents of my grandmother, Sadie Percy Gibson (b. 1869 - Bridgeton, Cumberland, Maine). It was many years ago (about 38) when I first pulled the book: JOHN WHITMAN OF WEYMOUTH, MASS. AND HIS DESCENDANTS from the bookshelf in the Family History Library in SLC when I was a freshman at BYU. I've been bitten by genealogy ever since! In addition to learning more about our ancestors, we are able to "combine" our efforts and share history, diaries, journals, pictures, etc. which make the past really come to life!

He had six children, and later in life worked in a drug store in Ronoke, VA, being known as "Doc". He died there in 1923. I have been unable to find out anything of his family in Missouri, and although this family does not seem to appear on your articles, maybe someone one can shed some light on him.

I was just checking out the Whitman family tree page. I don't know if I tie into the same family tree but I know that I have many cousins on the Eastcoast. My Grandfather was Henry Lee Whitman Sr. He was a Rancher in Tx back in the day. My Father is Henry Lee Whitman Jr. He is now a Tx Ranger. If y'all know anything about my Grandfather or my family tree, I'd sure like to hear about it!
