Biography

Tradition says that two brothers, Sir George and JOHN WHITMORE, came to this country in the early 1630's. Sir George, a bachelor, was a government officer in Nova Scotia, and lived in Halifax. While on a voyage from Halifax to Massachusetts, supposedly to settle an estate on his brother, he was drowned.

The brother with the estate was JOHN WHITMORE (called the lost brother) who appears on the records of Wethersfield, Hartford, CT, as early as 1638. His lot of 54 acres at Wethersfield was sold to Robert Treat. He removed to Stamford in 1641, and was one of its first founders and settlers. His name is on the second and thirds lists of the Colonists. He was given 10 acres in the first distribution of land.

JOHN married first in England. The name of his first wife cannot be learned. He married second, in this country, the widow Jessup, who brought him wealth.

He was admitted freeman in 1642, appointed Deputy to the General Court, Oct. 27, 1643; and was a Representative to the New Haven Assembly in 1647. JOHN was killed by Indians in 1648.
