Sorry I have been gone so long – sometimes you don’t get to do all the fun things you like to do in life. If I am lucky, I’m following a hot lead on another family line, but usually it is just the mundane events in life that proves to be the big distraction. Arwen has been much more faithful in keeping up with her posting then I am, so I will need to catch up.<\/p>\n
Since I have been away so long I think it might be wise to recap \u2013 for my benefit as well as yours. I began the research on the family of Samuel N. Whittle (1842-1892) of Baltimore, Maryland. We quickly established his family group and we know that Samuel, his wife Georgeanne, and two daughters, Clara and Maggie, are all in the family plot at Govanstown Cemetery in Baltimore. His line ended with his two daughters as neither married or had children. The family consisted of:<\/p>\n
Samuel N. Whittle (1842-1892) son of Unknown 1 Whittle & Eliza Unknown
\nGeorgeanne Higle (1842- ) dau. of Joseph Higle & Leah Shealey
\nClara May Whittle (1866\u20131946) dau. of Samuel N. Whittle & Georgeanne Higle
\nMaggie S. Whittle (1869-1897) dau. of Samuel N. Whittle & Georgeanne Higle<\/p>\n
We were able to establish that Samuel had been a Lt. in F Company, 7th Maryland during the Civil War. This of course led to research on his brother Charles Nicholas Whittle and his Civil War service. Much of this was done in hopes of figuring out the name of the father of Samuel and Charles and their mother\u2019s maiden name. There was no such luck, although we were able to discover the names of our Unknown Whittle\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n
Unknown 1 Whittle (died before 1850) son of Jeremiah Whittle & Nancy Best
\nEliza Unknown (abt 1815-1896) dau. of unknown parents
\nSamuel N. Whittle (1842-1892)
\nCharles Nicholas Whittle (1838-1916)<\/p>\n
The most recent work was in Jeremiah Whittle\u2019s family group. The family group based on all the currently documented research is:<\/p>\n
Jeremiah Whittle (abt 1775- ) son of unknown parents
\nNancy Best (abt 1775-abt 1817) dau. of unknown parents \u2013 married 16 Jun 1804
\nMale Unknown 2 Whittle (bef. 1810- )
\nMale Unknown 3 Whittle (bef 1810- )
\nFemale Unknown 1 Whittle (bef. 1815- )
\nFemale Unknown 2 Whittle (bef. 1820- )
\nUnknown 1 Whittle (bef. 1820-bef. 1850) \u2013 father of Samuel<\/p>\n
Jeremiah then married Elizabeth Eyle (1785-1877) on 5 Dec 1818 in Baltimore Susan Ann Whittle Barber (1822-1916) buried in Govanstown near her mother Elizabeth. My next child to research was Thomas (abt. 1820 – ). As you may recall Thomas was the subject of a series of posts due to his unique story. Was he killed in the Civil War or did he simply desert as suggested? The family is well covered due to extensive research by Ruth Brooks. Thomas Whittle married Sarah Flayhart on 30 Oct 1842 in Baltimore, Maryland. The family group is:<\/p>\n Thomas Whittle (abt 1820- ) assumed dead Civil War Phew – we are now caught up!! So the next couple of posts will deal with the other known children of Jeremiah and Elizabeth to wrap up that family group. After that is complete we’ll decide where to go next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Whittle Family Tree Sorry I have been gone so long – sometimes you don’t get to do all the fun things you like to do in life.

\nWith the lack of information for my Unknown 1 Whittle, I began research on the known children in hopes of finding something more. I began with Susan Ann Whittle aka Susannah and was able to establish her marriage to Benjamin Barber 28 Nov 1839 in Baltimore. This family group detailed in the 1 Dec 2008<\/a> post Oh Susannah! is:<\/p>\n
