• The earliest mentioned person by the name of Whitmore I have yet met with is John of Stamford, who was living in Wethersfield in 1639. He was killed by the Indians in 1648, leaving a son, John. I have some reason to suspect that he was the father of all of the name here, and that the following will give about the record of his children's births : —
  • Thomas, b. 1615 ; the ancestor of the Wetmores.
  • Ann, b. (?) 1-G21 ; m. George Farrar, Feb. 16, 1644.
  • Mary, b. (?)1623; „ John Brewer, Oct. 23, 1647.
  • Francis, b. 1625 ; of Cambridge.
  • John, b. (?) 1627 ; of Stamford, 1650. ____________________________

• The line through which Albert Gallatin Markham's descent is traced goes back to Claron, of West Markham, a Saxon chief who, for services rendered at the time of the Norman Conquest, was granted lands which had already been held by his father and grandfather before him. From his son Roger, of East Markham, the line is traced through Fulc, of East Markham; his son Sir Alexander, known as Knight of Castellane, of Nottingham Castle, Nottinghamshire ; his son Sir William, of Markham and Tuxford ; his son Sir Richard ; his son Richard (2) ; his son John, Lord of East Markham, who married John Bottomsell ; their son Sir Robert, a lawyer and King's sergeant, who married Isabell Caunton ; their son Sir John, barrister and judge, who committed Henry, Prince of Wales (son of Henry IV) to the Fleet Prison in London ; his son Sir Robert, who married Elizabeth Burdon ; their son Sir Robert, Knight, who married Sarah Joan Daubeney ; their son Sir John, who married Alicia Skipworth; their son Sir John (3) who was a lieutenant of the famous "Tower of London" and whose daughter was maid of honor to Queen Elizabeth, married (first) Ann Neville, whose mother was a granddaughter of the Earl of

• Somerset, son of Duke of Lancaster, son of Henry III, married (second) Margery Langford, (third) Ann Strelly Stanhope; his son John (4), who married Catherine Babbington; their son Robert, who married (first) Maria Leeke, (second) Jane Burnell ; their son Sir Robert, of Cotham, married Ann Warburton ; their third son Daniel, who was engaged in commercial pursuits and died in Plumstead (now Pirney), Norfolk County, in 1690. after having regained in mercantile pursuits the fortune squandered by his father. Among his children was Daniel Markham, of whom further.
• (I) Daniel Markham, immigrant ancestor of the line herein traced, was born in Plumstead Manor, near Norwich, England, of which city his brother Matthew was mayor in 1634. The brother Matthew had a son, also named Daniel, who was a colonel in the British Army and came to New York with the Duke of York in 1664; the last named Daniel was the ancestor of Admiral Markham, of the British Navy, whose mother, brothers, and sisters, were living in Independence, Iowa, in 1903. Daniel (2) Markham, the immigrant ancestor, arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1665, and in 1665 removed to Middletown, Connecticut, where he became a freeman in 1674, and where he was prominent in the affairs of church and State. He married (first), November 3, 1669, Elizabeth Whitmore, daughter of Lieutenant Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge. She died about 1676, and he married (second) Patience Harris, daughter of William Harris, of Middletown. Children of the first marriage were : Daniel, Elizabeth, and James, of further mention.

• Elizabeth Whitmore Markham
• Birth: May 2, 1649 Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
• Death: May 10, 1676 Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
• Daughter and first child of Isabel Parke and Lieutenant Francis Whitmore.
• Following statement is extracted from "The Whithmore Genealogy", published 1907:
• "Francis came to this country probably during the 1630's, and had established his residence at Cambridge prior to 1648, as about this time he married, at that place, Isabel Parke. Broks, in his history of Medford, tells us he owned property in Cambridge near the Plains, Charlestown near the Menetomie River, near Dendruck Meadows; also in Medford and Lexington. His house stood on the dividing line between Lexington and Cambridge, and is mentioned in the Act of division. His name, with that of his wife, appears on a petition in favor of an old woman [Winifret Holman] charged with being a witch, so he can hardly have been of the extreme Puritan Party, though a member of the church."
• "Francis served in King Philip's war; was Selectman and Constable in 1668 and 1682. In his will he makes provision for the education of his children, thus early evidencing that regard for education that is so marked a family trait."
• Elizabeth was raised up in Cambridge and there married Deacon Daniel Markham on 3 November 1669 at Christ Church.
• They were the parents of:
  • Daniel Markham II, born 1 Nov 1671 in Cambridge, Mass. BAPM: On 25 Jun 1678 in Middletown, CT. 1st Congregational Church.
  • Elizabeth Markham, born 13 Jul 1673 in Cambridge, Mass.
  • James Markham, born 16 May 1674 in Cambridge, Mass.
• In 1677, the year after his wife, Elizabeth died, Deacon Daniel Markham followed his cousins, Samuel Collins and Rev. Nathaniel Collins, to Middletown, Connecticut.
• He married Patience Harris 2 Jan 1677 at Middletown and in 1690, six years after the death of his cousin, Rev. Nathaniel Collins, Daniel became Deacon of the First Congregational Church.

  • THE DISPOSAL OF THE ESTATE OF FRANCIS WHITMORE OF CAMBRIDGE, IN NEW ENGLAND.
    • [Communicated by W. H. Whitmore.]
• After the payment of my just debts, I do give unto my loving wife the use and enfeofment of my whole estate in housing, lands and moveables (excepting that part of my land by me already given unto my son Samuel) during her widowhood for her livelihood and for the bringing up of my three youngest children, and for the expending of what learning she shall be able upon them. But if she marry to another man, my will is that she shall have thirty pounds out of my moveable estate to dispose of as she shall see meet. To my two youngest sons Thomas and Joseph I do give my housing, barns and my part of the new mill, with all my lands thereunto belonging ; excepting that part of the land by me set out and delivered to my son Samuel which shall be the full of his portion ; he not to share in any after division of any part of my estate to be equally divided between them. They to enter upon the possession thereof at the age of twenty and one years of age if their mother be not then living; but if she be then living and continue my widow, she shall not be dispossessed of any part of my estate during her life. Also my will is that what of my estate do remain at my wife's decease or marriage which of them shall first happen, with what each of my children have already had being added thereunto, shall be equally divided among them, to each an equal share. My two youngest sons to have the housing and lands as aforesaid and to pay out of them to the rest of my children that which shall be accounted due to them, as followeth : My eldest son Francis his part to be due him two full years after the possessing of my youngest son of the housing and lands as aforesaid. The second two years after; the third two years after, and so successively till all be paid. To my grandchildren of Daniel Markham which he had by my daughter Elizabeth, I do give to each of them twenty shillings out of my estate. Also I do nominate my loving friends William Locke Sen. of Woburn and Francis Moore of Cambridge to be my executors of this my last will.

• Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge, is mentioned by William Wilcox as one in his "family meeting." Now believing as we do that Jacob Eliot, Jr., m. the widow Wilcox, it is to be noted that Dea. John Whitmore (son of Francis) m. Rachel, dau. of Francis Eliot, own cousin to Jacob E., Jr., and Abigail Whitmore, sister of Dea. John, m. Samuel Wilcox, of Middletown, son of John W., Jr. Again, Mary Stoughton, niece of John Wilcox, Jr., and sister of the wife of Samuel Farnsworth, m. John Eliot, grandson of the Rev. John E., and cousin once-removed to Jacob, Jr., and to Rachel Eliot.
• Although there was no known relation between Thomas Whitmore, of Middletown, and Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge, it is some-what strange that Francis's oldest son, Francis, Jr., went to Middletown, as did two of his daughters, who m. respectively Daniel Markham and Samuel Wilcox. But if the Middletown Wilcoxes, Halls and Whitmores were relatives of the Cambridge Wilcoxes, Halls and Whitmores, then such a removal would be natural. ______________________________
