Bob Hagerich notes: World Family Tree, Vol 1, contains a family tree--Pedigree #5716--which traces the history of the WHITMAN family back to Thomas Weightman, b. abt 1380 in Burbage, Leicester, England. I believe this is a fraud prepared by Gustave Anjou (1863-1942) , a noted forger of genealogical records. In reality, I know of nobody who has been able to trace back further than Edward WHITEMAN, [Bob H] 1

Beware of Fraudulent Genealogies

Reason for caution is that many Internet databases contain fraudulent genealogies created by such master forgers as Gustave Anjou who created hundreds of genealogies in the late 1800s and early 1900s in exchange for huge fees. It is estimated that Anjou alone has tainted the lineages of over 2,000 common surnames. The Whitman family is one example of these fraudulent genealogies.

A typical Anjou pedigree displays four recognizable features:

1. A dazzling range of connections between dozens of immigrants to New England, showing connections far beyond what may be seen in pedigrees produced by other genealogists.

2. Many wild geographic leaps, outside the normal range of migration patterns.

3. An overwhelming number of citations to documents that actually exist, and actually include what Anjou says they include.

4. Here and there an invented document, without citation, which appears to support the many connections noted under item 1.

The sad fact is that Anjou was not a genealogist, but a forger of genealogical records. Any of your sources that trace back to anything compiled by Anjou will prove suspect.
