Are you aware of two confusions in your Whiting genealogy? One is: John
and Isobel Whiting, Mayor of Boston: Boston is not in 'Linshire'...it's
Lincolnshire, often called Lincs. I'm sure you know this, but it can be
confusing to a newbie reading your wonderful site, for which you are to be
commended. You've done a lot of good work on it.
Also, John Whiting, Mayor of Boston, Lincolnshire, is not the same man as
John Whiting, father of Maj. William Whiting of Boxford,Suffolk. These are
two different families in two different counties with some mileage between
them. No connection has been found between two that I'm aware of. A lot
of confusion has been dissimated between the two Johns, no doubt due to the
location names of Boston and Boxford. John and William were such common
names of the time as well, making it even more confusing.
Just wanted to touch base with you on that. I do enjoy your site.
