↑ Source:Whitney, Henry Austin. Brief Account of the Descendants of John and Elinor Whitney, of Watertown, p. 13, (as also does NEHGR, Vol. 11, p. 121 in an article by the same author) identifies the husband as Josiah Whitney of Wrentham. However, Weston records (original?, copy) clearly say Whiting. Further, church records, p. 412 of the source cited above, lists the wife as Elizabeth Whiting when she is dismissed to the church in Sherborn. Instead, Source:Lazell, Theodore S. Whiting Genealogy, p. 14 identifies him as the son of Samuel Whiting and first wife Sarah Metcalf of Dedham, which makes much more sense given the description of Josiah as "formerly of Dedham" (i.e., not of Wrentham) found in the marriage record.
