  • New England Historical and Genealogical Register (Vol. 163, No. 4, October 2009) Jan Porter and Daniel F. Stramara, Jr., "The Origin of Gabriel1 Whelden of Yarmouth and Malden, Massachusetts" pp. 253-261

Some sources say he testified at Salem Witch trial of George Burroughs in May 1962.

However I did not find any primary sources (e.g. lib.salem.virginia.edu) of the Salem Witch Trials that mention a John Whilden/Wheldon.
